S1 EP.4 Poor White Men – A Review of billionaires in comics pt.4

The guys (Kareem, Ken, and Pat) wrap up their review comic billionaires. Tangents include the list of dead dependents Bruce claims, the MCU’s bulls** time travel logic, redacted tapes of John Walker, Winter Soldiers dubious programming, trash islands in the Pacific Ocean, and more.



Show Notes

Topic 1:  Establish what constitutes a billionaire in comic and in reality.

  • In countries that use the short scale number naming system, a billionaire is someone who has at least a thousand times a million dollars, euros or the currency of the given country. Many national currencies have, or have had at various times, a low unit value, in many cases due to past inflation.

Topic 2: Breakdown of the four most well-known comic billionaires and if they have real world counterparts

  • See additional pages for breakdown details

Topic 3: How billionaires accumulated their wealth and what they do with it.

  • See additional page for details

Topic 4: Why are billionaires necessary in comics (especially when there are gods, demons, magic, mysticism, etc)

Topic 5: Which is the better comic billionaire? Which would be the more successful real-world crossover?


Super Woke or Super Broke Tangential Giants Podcast

The Giants are back, and this week, Kareem, Ken, and Pat have dragged their long‑suffering friend Tim into the studio for an episode that immediately veers off the rails and never once apologizes for it.First up: Greg Cipes. Yes, that Greg Cipes. The crew dives into the swirling storm of his latest controversy, unpacking the spectacle, the fandom reactions, and the eternal question: why do celebrity statements always feel like they were drafted during a juice cleanse.Then the conversation takes a hard left turn into the Ouroboros of Terminator robots, a philosophical deep dive into what happens when killer machines start time‑looping themselves into existential burnout. Is Skynet okay. Should someone check on it. Does a T‑800 dream of electric therapy bills.And because no episode is complete without roasting a beloved icon, the Giants revisit Superman’s rookie mistakes, the early days when the world’s greatest hero was still figuring out how not to yeet cars into orbit or accidentally demolish small businesses while stopping purse snatchers.If you enjoy pop‑culture chaos, sci‑fi spirals, and four grown adults trying to out‑tangent each other, this episode is your new comfort noise.#tangentialgiants #podcastchaos #GregCipes #popculturedebate #TerminatorLore #SciFiNerds #TimeLoopTalk #SkynetSpirals #SupermanFails #RookieSupes #NerdCulture #geektalkph #comedypodcast #KareemKenPatTim
