Well, with Herc's distorting of tales of his previous 12 labors, I wasn't sure if you meant his versions of the original labors or the new ones he did for a reality TV series. I hate reality shows, but that would be one I might just watch.

That said;
Hera came up with the last 4 of his new labors.
The very last labor was for him to descend into Hades, as he'd done before, but instead of bringing back a three-headed dog, he had to bring back a flower from the hair of his beloved first wife, Megaera.

Pretty sure he's was an alcoholic too. I've always been a fan/liked RD Jr's acting (though I remember thinking RD Jr. playing an arrogant alcoholic womanzier - does he really have act much to play this part?) - nice to see the Iron Man has brought his career back...looking forward to Holmes and IM2.

As for Gweneth - like many Hollywood actresses now-a-days she needs to mostly stand there and look pretty (then again...that's a lot of women throughout the history of Hollywood...I mean Marilyn Monroe was not exactly a stellar actress with her acting skills also...but she made a lot of fun movies and did great in the roles she had).

Nice one JTR (though I was looking for the flower being the sign of her forgiveness...but I'm not that "a" retentive...and you obviously knew the answer)...the thread is yours again bud.

As a side note...I've never been a fan of Hercules (Thor and Beta Ray Bill all the way)...but that Hercules LS was REALLY good...actually made him interesting, if you haven't read it, take a look.

Personally I've never found Ms. Paltrow very attractive. I realize I'm in the minority there, but that's my opinion. And as far as acting skills go, Shakespeare in Love was a fluke; she hasn't turned in a decent performance since. A lot of the bad movies she's made could be blamed on an inability to pick good scripts, but she was even bad in Proof. I saw the play, and Proof is not a bad script. If you can turn in a bad performance in Proof, the problem is you.

I'm in that minority. She's not that great to look at.
As for her acting... She has a pedigree for acting, but she's not really that much of an actress herself.

What pedigree? Her dad was an actor? Mine was an electrician but I can't follow a circuit board.

That's what I'm saying.

Her father (Bruce Paltrow) and Mother (Blythe Danner) both have had actting careers.

My father did woodworking. I can't cut a straight line if my life depended on it. But in her case, cause her parents could act, she assumes she can act.
She also thinks she's a scientist. She says Shampoo can give you cancer.

It probably can, if you drink it. Or maybe if you shampoo your hair often enough to absorb that much through the scalp; say, 20 times a day, every day, for ten years. Which she might do, for all I know.

I can't remember the name of this indie flick she made with Alan Cummings and Jennifer Beals but her hair was long and very full-bodied in that film, think Blair from The Facts of Life. I swear to God, she looked like a Horrorclix Skeletal Maiden.

Here's an easy one;

Name an enemy of Iron Man who thought he was the reincarnated Pharoah Amenemhet III (of the 11th Dynasty of Egypt).

I believe you refer to Infinitus, from Marvel Team-Up #29. If so, I take your wording to task. He did not actually believe he was a reincarnated pharoah; that was a cover story he used to mask his true intent. (The Human Torch, of all people, spotted the error when he listed the wrong dynasty, stating that a true reincarnation wouldn't make that mistake, nor would a true lunatic as those tend to be sticklers for detail.)

All in all, not one of the best MTU issues.

Well, he pretended to think he was that Pharoah.

Anyhow, I knew you'd get it. Even if it wasn't one of Ironman's shinging moments in history.

The thread is yours, Pharoah Rama CuCr-sus The First.

When the Swordsman reformed and re-applied for membership in the Avengers, which member observed him during his probationary period and later recommended him for full membership?

Geez, it's been about ten years since I read that span of The Avengers, but I'll take a wild guess and say the Vision. Although my first inclination would be to say Hawkeye (given his past with Swordy) or Cap (given that, well, he's Cap), if I remember correctly, both of them were kind of in and out of the lineup during that span, while I think the Vision was in on just about all of the team's missions then.

Nope, it wasn't Vizh.

Don't forget, you also have to post a new question on the DC Trivia thread.
