  In case anybody is curious about Prof. Gamble, he has not gone forgotten by Marvel creators and was the main villain of 2018's Cable and Deadpool annual.

  I think the robots were a way to get around the comics code.  The same way the 90's X-men cartoon only let Wolverine fully use his claws in a fight against robots and machines and such.

  I think the Professor looks more like the Sylvester McCoy version of Dr Who which I think came later... time travel by Marvel.

  Marvel Comics had the rights to publish Dr. Who comics in 1982. This might explain why Marvel wasn't sued.

  The Professor also looks a lot like Gene Wilder’s Willy Wonka costume.

  Captain America and The Falcon were partners for almost 100 issues.

  The robots are probably due to censorship, like Samurai Jack. Lot's of dismemberment, disemboweling, and decapitation. The oil and wires were ways to show disemboweling and profuse bleeding without angering censors. It's very Tarantino-esque while still being able to play on prime time children's channels.

  Now I’m waiting for the Doctor Who episode where the Doctor encounters knock offs of these two.

  But Chris, you did grow up to learn martial arts, and protected the streets for a time as a superhero. So in a way you were right about it being attainable.

  A couple of things. One Danny Rand has offered to give a bunch of money to Luke Cage on a couple different occasions but Luke Cage has turned it down because he felt like it would make him a kept man. Two, the reason Cage couldn&apos;t bring his girlfriend to the Gem is because it was in a really bad part of town. Luke Cage would thwart a mugging or implied rape attempt every other issue near his apartment. I think that this was one of the times where Danny&apos;s brownstone was messed up because of a super villain battle, so he might be able to sleep there but it wasn&apos;t presentable. Don&apos;t quote me on that last one though. His house got destroyed a lot.

  Wait, a white kid who grew up to learn martial arts and become a super hero? That <b>is</b> what happened, Chris!
