At the current rate that DC retcons these books are more for looking at the pictures than any real information.

If I ever take it upon myself to buy one, it'd just be to take in the artwork, just like Eroo said.
Either way, I see those things serving just two purposes: as collector's items or eye candy.

Alex Ross (guy who did cover artwork) = A god.

[Trinitus]

Indeed, he is.

Yeah I getting my candy eye fix right now but damn it had some real weird@$$ characters in DC boy wheyyyyyy

...even weirder than Marvel's Squirrel Girl?

[Crixx_Creww]

squirrel girl and mr immortal represent to of the most ridiculous characters ever...but she takes the cake... who did she beat with her stupid powers again?? someone powerfull...

[Synchronomyst]

THANOS. DR DOOM. MADARIN. WTF.

[Crixx_Creww]

lol yea ridiculous to the extreme

mr immortal has some riddiculous feats as well

he once stopped a guy from destroying the entire universe.
THis guy beat like everyone and was gonna destroy the universe,apparently the guy was like ultra emo and was wining about some thing and mr immortal was like yeah life sucks blah blah blah my bird dead, blah blah i real sad too, was de point of all of this

lets just end our selves
and the two of them committed suicide
but the villain didnt know that mr immortal has TRUE immortality and can withstand multidimmensional destruction and returned to life after commiting suicide thus saving the universe lol
that was like . . . . r i g h  t

Personally, I'd hate having Mr. Immortal's power of constant resurrection. An eternity of being alive must be beyond boring.

On topic, I believe that DC has their own version of Mr. Immortal. I wonder if he's included in that encyclopedia.

[New Era Outlaw]

Actually, yes. As satirical as any story involving the Great Lakes Initiative may be, it all really did happen in canon. Lest we forget, Squirrel Girl's defeat of Dr. Doom did happen within the pages of an Iron Man comic, long before the idea of making self-parody comics took root.

Either way, I think the reason why Squirrel Girl's underdog victories are never referenced are actually for two reasons. One being that having serious villains getting taken out in the most ridiculous ways possible and constantly referring to it in the more serious titles would undermine their credibility as threats. Ask yourself this: if heroes constantly pick on Dr. Doom because a bunch of squirrels pwned him, would anybody really take him seriously?

And, secondly, I really don't think any hero, out of pride, would admit that all it took was a bushy tailed squirrel girl to defeat a villian that they've worked their entire lives to bring down. I know Iron Man wouldn't, the jerk.
