The Alcoholic: Difference between revisions
→Comic Books
Line 45:
* Daniel Cross in ''[[Assassin's Creed: The Fall]]''.
* Howard Nissen from ''[[Give Me Liberty]]'', after having to deal with more than fifty separatist movements in the US and his mostly right-wing secretaries actively opposing him. Moretti may also be blamed.
* [[Spider-Man]] never touches
** Mary Jane's father was one, who abused his wife and possibly his daughters. Mary Jane's extroverted "party girl" personality was her way of coping.
** Flash Thompson's father was worse, and there was no question that he was an abusive husband and father. Flash himself had a bout with this, but managed to clean up his act.
** Electro had a father who was one, as did Dr. Octopus. Ock himself went through it after a nervous breakdown that left him destitute, and while no longer drinks heavily, is still often seen with cocktails while plotting evil schemes.
* This was the case with [[The Incredible Hulk| Bruce Banner's]] horribly abusive father, Brian. It contributed to his questionable mental state, rotten and violent temper, and giving his son a great deal of pent-up aggression that was the biggest factor in the birth of the Hulk.
* ''[[Iron Man]]''
** Tony Stark went through a serious alcohol problem in the comics, which was treated realistically and respectfully. But thanks to [[Never Live It Down]], this is the default portrayal of him in other media. In [[The Movie]], nearly every scene that's not a fight scene has him drinking an alcoholic beverage of some sort. As the sequel was partially an adaptation of the storyline ''dealing'' with the drinking problem, it was [[Foreshadowing]].
