Barsoomian rules, if the commenter is male, it's for Rick to deal with, if the commenter is female, then he has to stand aside and let Lisa fight it out.
SRoss wrote:[q Barsoomian rules, if the commenter is male, it's for Rick to deal with, if the commenter is female, then he has to stand aside and let Lisa fight it out.
True. In canon Barsoom, VILLIANS threaten women all the time, thus labeling them as villians. As much as John Carter, Gentleman of Virginia, might wish to run through at least one Barsoomian woman, or at least belt her one, for threatening his wife, he doesn't(it is, however, implied however vaguely that Thuvia DOES punch out the woman in question). And there are several reminders that Barsoomian women are just as capable of violence as the men(though ERB, probably for reasons of propriety, never actually shows it beyond the threatening with daggers level, as his male heroes somehow manage to convince the ladies to leave the foe-gutting to the men).

More Reasons Corg Really Should Treat Micronians With More Respect(But Is More LIkely to Just Hate Them More):
Corg stared with hatred at the red and gold armored figure hovering over the wreckage of his Royal Command Battloid, one glowing fist pointing directly at him. Obvciously another of the humans' insidious 'Cyclones'. Oh, how the pests kept coming up with new ways to vex him! Now the human dared MOCK him, addressing him directly. "I don't know who you are, meatball, but you know how much it costs to re-shingle the penthouse roof you just blasted? That tile pattern was discontinued! I really should do more than just blast your big robot to pieces, but that would be too quick and easy on you. I think I'll let SHIELD have you...they'll probably squeeze you dry, then stick you in a cell with some inbred hick named 'Bubba'. In fact, I'll insist on it. Nighty-night, meatball." Corg's last thought before he was tazere into unconsciousness was I really HATE humans!

More Reasons Corg Really Should Treat Micronians With More Respect(But Is More LIkely to Just Hate Them More):
Corg knew he really should continue fighting, but he found himself oddly submissive while tied in the human woman's Golden Lasso. "I should snap your neck like a twig as punishment for the damage you've done today." the dark haired warrior woman said. "But Athena has granted me the wisdom to come up with a better punishment." Corg's last thought as she handed him off to Annie was I really HATE humans!

(as he destroys a city block)"Destroy the humans! Destroy this city and the inferior micronians!!!" *TAP*TAP* "What?! Who?!" ###RRRRRRIIIIPPPPPPPPP### Corg is left blinking as the entire front of his Royal Command Battloid is torn away, leaving him staring directly into the open air and at... A red Human 'S' sigil on a yellow background on a field of blue on the chest of... "I beg to disagree with that sentiment." Corg later(as soon as he was able to string two thoughts together without wincing) added another new hatred to his mental list of dislikes; Kryptonians. He might have made a friend in that, but the bald human in the cell next to his wouldn't SHUT UP, driving Corg to attempt to strangle the inferior human, or at least beat him to death with his casts, leading to further pain and humiliation at the hands of yet ANOTHER human.
Getting into DC and Marvel now, nice!

Corg: (Mumbling) "She ... had ... Surface to Air Missiles ... in her car... WHO PUTS ANTI ARMOUR SURFACE TO AIR MISSILES IN A SPORTSCAR!!!"
Annie: (To Hotaru) "Well I got my date for graduation, what about you?"
Hotaru smiles leading a tall dark figure by the hand.
Kai: "I am Kai last of the Brunnen G. I have been dead for 2,008 years."
Hotaru: "Oh I'll fix that hot stuff."
Interesting date she has.

It's just so hard to properly channel Tony Stark, annoying snarky billionaire genius.....Even if Corg wasn't already a rage-a-holic, Stark would have him murderously foaming mad in minutes....
