More comic characters’ New Year’s resolutions

By Staff | Nov 26, 2014

A year has passed since the last time I provided you with a list of New Year’s resolutions comic book characters might make.

In the comics themselves, it’s been much less than a year, or possibly more, or possibly both given the preponderance of time-traveling, no matter how many times Marvel says any more could destroy the space-time continuum.

(Apparently, the Hulk fixed all that by punching time. Really. And Mark Waid wrote it, so it was awesome.)

Regardless, because it’s easier than coming up with a new idea, here are a few more resolutions some of your favorite characters – and some you maybe haven’t heard of – might be making as they look toward 2015.

* Zatanna – !gnikoms tiuQ

* Mystique – Convince people I’m not just another pretty face. And another. And another. And another…

* Thor – Install more unisex bathrooms in Asgard.

* Flash – Take time to stop and smell the roses. All the roses in Central City. In less than a minute.

* Major Victory – Go back in time and convince James Gunn to put me in “Guardians of the Galaxy 2.”

* Madame Xanadu – Why bother? I can see the future and know I won’t keep any past Jan. 23.

* Dazzler – Cross over to country.

* Swamp Thing – Visit thesaurus.com in an effort to improve my self-image with a more uplifting codename. Maybe Marshland Corporeality? Everglade Person? Hmm, the possibilities are… interminable.

* Cable – Look into getting satellite.

* Atom – Publicly oppose Marvel’s “Ant-Man” movie; secretly hope it does so well Warner Bros. will greenlight a film for me.

* Captain America – Get the national bird changed to the falcon.

* Hellboy – Make people call me Hellman. I’m almost 70 years old!

* Quicksilver – Be as awesome in “Avengers: Age of Ultron” as I was in “X-Men: Days of Future Past.”

* Green Lantern – Try to go two consecutive storylines without a planet being destroyed.

* The Collector – Put some of my stuff on eBay.

* John Constantine – Lobby NBC for a guest-starring gig on “The Voice.”

* Wolverine – When I inevitably come back from the dead, take it easy and only appear in five or six comics a month.

* Bouncing Boy – Push for a grim and gritty reboot.

* Deadpool – Get Ryan Reynolds to hook me up with a Green Lantern ring.

* Etrigan the Demon – Convince DC that it is time for me to stop speaking in rhyme.

* Hulk – See what else Hulk can fix with punching. Windows 8? Polar vortex? Congress? Sky is Hulk’s limit. Unless… Hulk punches sky!
