4. Giganto

WHALES WITH ARMS.

That’s it, I’m done, nothing I can say will be as funny as that image. That image is funnier than most things I’ve ever seen or heard.

Giganto isn’t actually a single character, but a race of underwater creatures, called Gigantos. Giganto debuted in Fantastic Four #4, in which a newly recovered Namor bothered one into attacking New York by waking it up from a nice nap. The Giganto lumbered sleepily through NYC wrecking stuff, until it fell asleep in the middle of Midtown. At which point The Thing carried a nuclear bomb into the thing’s stomach and blew it apart. Yeah, I know, that last sentence took a left turn for me too.

Gigantos continued to plague the Marvel Universe every now and again, but mostly they stuck to swimming around the open water like giant, stupid-looking sea beasts. Also, it is in Marvel continuity that Herman Melville wrote Moby Dick because he was inspired by seeing a Giganto. That is amazing.

And you know what else is amazing?

WHALE WITH ARMS!!!!!!!!!
