You've Found Your New Pope
Posted by Aquaman at 01:47 PM | View blog reactions | Comments (24)

I, like many superheroes, am quite saddened by the passing of Pope John Paul II (Nightcrawler is taking it especially hard). Still we must look to the future. A new pope must be selected. Someone just. Someone pious. Someone who can be a spiritual leader for the world.

This sounds like a job for...

I am quite pious... just ask any fish.AQUAMAN!!!

Just think of it; there are many similarities between me and Jesus. He can multiply a few fish into many, and I can talk to fish. He can walk on water, and I can breathe under it. Together as a team we would be unstoppable! Even Black Manta would dare not face us!

Now, apparently, the pope is a Marvel superhero, and this could possibly cause some contractual issues. I’m pretty sure this obstacle can be worked around, though.

So how much does this job pay? Well, whatever anyone else is asking, I'll do it for 25% less.

Come on; I'm desperate for work!

How does Nightcrawler know Aquaman? Explain that to me.

Nightcrawlers help catch fish ; Aquaman talks to fish.

Citizen Grim,
I don't know Nightcrawler, but I know Cyclops and was at his place for barbecue, and he told me all about Nightcrawler.

Just because we have contracts with different comic book publishers doesn't mean we can't socialize.

Jackass.

Aquaman - You want to be the new pope! Do you have any issues with celibacy?

#4 - Posted by: RandyM on April 6, 2005 02:21 PM

I'm sorry, Aquaman, but the new superhero Popeman has beaten you to it!

M:
Aquaman IS celibate, just not by his own choosing.

Aquaman: I hate to throw monkey wrewnches in yoiur plan, but this won't work. You, being Aquaman, are a committed to being a total immersion kind of guy and Catholics swing heavily toward sprinkling. Plus your relationship with Aqualad is sure to raise many eyebrows in a time when they need to put that mess in the past.

"I’m pretty sure this obstacle can be worked around, though."

Haven't they done Marvel/DC crossovers in the past? Maybe I'm wrong, but I seem to remember hearing about it before.

#9 - Posted by: Chris D on April 6, 2005 03:39 PM

Chris D.,
Correct. I once fought the Submariner... and won!

#10 - Posted by: Aquaman on April 6, 2005 03:42 PM

he sure told you, grim.

sucker

#11 - Posted by: Patriot Xeno on April 6, 2005 03:46 PM

I thought Sub-Mariner whooped Aquaman in the 1996 Marvel/DC crossover?

#12 - Posted by: Moe on April 6, 2005 03:52 PM

Never mind.I was wrong.Aquaman did win.I dunno why I thought Sub-Mariner did.How the memory doth fade with age.

#13 - Posted by: Moe on April 6, 2005 03:57 PM

Hey Aqua, wouldn't the fact that you'd be 'walking in the shoes of the fisherman' and have the 'fisherman's ring' as primary icons of office sort of cause trouble with your piscine constituancy beneath the waves?

...and think of Lent! How many fish do you think are going to respond to your plaintive calls for aid after you've overseen an organization of all those hungry catholics. :)

...also, are you even Catholic? I have distinct recollections of Homer referring to a giant temple of Poseidon in Atlantis.

"I have distinct recollections of Homer referring to a giant temple of Poseidon in Atlantis."

...Actually, that turned out to be just Apu at the Kwik-E-Mart after a long night at Moe's.

#15 - Posted by: Bob in Feenicks on April 6, 2005 05:38 PM

Soo, Aquaman, being King of Atlantis doesn't pay the bills. Are the people of Atlantis a bunch of cheapstakes, or do they not like you?

#16 - Posted by: John on April 6, 2005 06:29 PM

I don't know if the Vatican officials will like it that you filled the pope-mobile up with water.

You will ruin the french-made leather seats.

#17 - Posted by: ninthbear on April 6, 2005 07:59 PM

here's a better plan: how about we burn Aquaman at the stake for blasphemy and heresy? He's special, certainly we can revive an old tradition just for him.

#18 - Posted by: Paul on April 7, 2005 12:13 AM

Better still...I read that ANY Catholic male can be Pope. Tht leads me to nominate:

FRANK J.!

How cool would it be to see Frank in the Pope hat, cruising in the Popemobile? PLus, you wold't have to worry about assassination attempts because you know Frank would be packin' some iron.

#19 - Posted by: Steve L. on April 7, 2005 07:06 AM

Aquaman, the Pope is one of the richest people on the planet. I'd say that's pretty good pay.


#20 - Posted by: Russ on April 7, 2005 08:15 AM

Did Aquaman call me a jackass?

sonuva... and he got away with it, too...

Alright, Im coming for you now...

#21 - Posted by: Citizen Grim on April 7, 2005 12:35 PM

stay out of the water grim!

#22 - Posted by: Patriot Xeno on April 7, 2005 01:59 PM

I have that comic! And having read it many times, I regret to inform Aquaman that he can never compare. You, sir, are no John Paul II.

That doesn't mean you can't make it as a religious figure, though. Try one of those New Age religions that worship narwhals or coral or, I dunno, wet paper bags.
