- Let's do the list. Spider-Man.
- Guilty.

1:02:05
- The lncredible Hulk.
- Afraid so.

1:02:07
- Oh, man, this is so cool. The X-Men.
- Now that you mention it...

1:02:10
Shit, man. You are a god!
1:02:13
Hey, look at that couple.
Boy, they sure seem to be in love, huh?

1:02:17
That's the second time
you've commented on couples in love.

1:02:21
I like that sort of thing.
Tell me, do you have a girlfriend, Brodie?

1:02:25
Had one. We just broke up.
1:02:28
The Thing. Is his dork made of
orange rock like the rest of him?

1:02:31
It's a superhero secret. Tell me, why
did you and your girlfriend break up?

1:02:36
She was a pain in the ass. She wanted
me to be a typical boyfriend guy.

1:02:39
Said I was too into
my own world of comics.

1:02:42
Yeah, I can relate.
1:02:44
There was a time when
it was all about comics for me.

1:02:47
I had a girl, probably the same as yours.
1:02:51
She always complained that I spent
too much time with my own comics...

1:02:55
..and eventually we broke up.
1:02:57
See? What did she know?
You're a legend in the field now.

1:03:00
- Probably had a slew of women since.
- Oh, lots of women.

1:03:04
Jagger and me, we had a running
contest to see who had the most.

1:03:08
Matter of fact, last time
I looked, I was way ahead.

1:03:11
- Damn, that's hot!
- But I never forgot that girl.

1:03:15
Did you ever get back together with her?
1:03:17
One day I found out she'd got married.
1:03:19
I had blown it. I had missed my window.
1:03:23
No way. What'd you do?
1:03:26
I went on with my life.
1:03:28
I created some special new superheroes.
1:03:32
They were characters that reflected
my own heartbreak and my own regrets.

1:03:36
- How so?
- Doctor Doom wears body armour...

1:03:39
..to conceal his own mangled form, right?
1:03:42
Yeah.
1:03:43
OK, that was me beneath the armour.
1:03:47
The Hulk. A normal guy one minute,...
1:03:50
..a rage of emotions the next.
1:03:52
Just like me when I thought
about what I'd given up.

1:03:55
So you created each character as
a way to deal with your one big regret.

1:03:59
Yeah. The girl that got away.
