teams competing each other in some sort of cosmic Amazing Race collecting stuff and the Justice League won, only because Batman cheated (with Captain America's help--basically they figured out that the game was a sham. Long story). But if you ask me, the Avengers were really kicking butt--the Scarlet Witch basically owned everybody after channeling the DC universe's Chaos Magic, Iron Man was enhanced by a New Gods technology and Photon absorbed energy from the Cosmic Cube. (The second half of the book, if you're wondering, sees the two teams work together to beat Krona--teamwork is always the answer to everything.) Speaking about comic cannon, Marvel comics also have the Squadron Supreme, which is a thinly veiled parody of the Justice League. As you may imagine, the Avengers always beat them in the comics! I want to read a philosopher to help steer me through these dark days of austerity. Who should it be? As a philosophy student dedicated to the fact that I will never earn very much, Seneca (the Younger) gives me great solace. As a Roman Stoic that spent 8 years in exile and later sentenced to death by his former student, Nero the Emperor: he has a fair bit to say on keeping your head above the water. His school of thought argued that we should not base our happiness or misery upon the variable acts of Fortune (deified concept of chance). In terms of steering yourself through austerity, Seneca is great at humbling your soul
