Rumsfeld poses with Captain America and Spider-Man

(End transmission.)

Apparently this happened last April — well before the current Civil War began. So Cap and Spidey have yet to come to blows over the Registration Act, explaining their cordial co-presence. (Of course, the two heroes have since reconciled and are now both running from the law, but that wouldn't explain their friendliness with the ex–secretary of defense, especially since, in the Marvel universe, the last secretary of defense was Iron Man, Cap's opposite number in CW. Making matters more complicated still, Warren Ellis's upcoming run on Thunderbolts, which spins out of CW, will cast the original Green Goblin as "a Donald Rumsfeld–like pubic [sic!] governmental figure," according to Ellis. Suspicious.)

And speaking of Ellis (parenthetically, anyway), he just del.icio.us'd a link to some badass futuristic warning signs, as imagined by Flickr user Arenamontanus:
