HOLY MOLY! Thanks for posting this, D.
Very cool.
Kudos, Batiuk!

Ummm, anyone else find it just a *tad* harsh to see Funky compared
to Red Skull?

Is it even cooler than the gizmo they sent the torch after in
FF #4? that they used to whip Galactus with?

Ah, the Ultimate Nullifier. I don't believe its properties or purpose were
ever really defined--just that it was scary enough that even the mighty
Galactus was horrified to see a puny human's finger on the trigger.
My sense is that the Cosmic Cube beats the Ultimate Nullifier. The Cube does
literally anything you could imagine--including create another Ultimate
Nullifier, or perhaps a way to counteract it. But then the Nullifier does
have the word "Ultimate" in its name... Maybe it could nullify the Cube?
Sounds like an excuse for another 12-issue mini-series that shakes the
Marvel Universe to its foundations. Again.

I don't know. Did Red Skull ever suffer from cancer of the
alcoholic mugging amputation-induced deaf post-traumatic land mine?

Yes, but the Nullifier has one LARGE catch: The user has to fix the
target in his mind before firing. If he doesn't do it with enough
clarity, *the user* gets nullified.

Yeah. The Skull gets better lines.

The Ultimate Nullifier? I don't know if Marvel ever showed it
at work; the very sight of it in a human's hands was enough
to freak the Big G out.
Maybe it nullifies whatever the Cosmic Cube does!

I see you and I had similar ideas.
Maybe it makes Marvel's "Ultimate" universe vanish?

The one time I saw someone actually use it ws during one of the
Infinity crossovers, Quasar tried to use it on Thanos. Unfortunately,
Thanos A) saw it coming and B) made it backfire on him.

Nope. The best way to prevent that sydnrome is have a copy of Overstreet's and show it to mom. My
father nearly cried when he looked through mine. He had a well loved copy of Action 1 that got
traded back to the Newstand for more comics.
