Damage Control

As the Marvel heroes spend so much time in cities fighting super villains there is bound to be considerable damage to the buildings and infrastructure around. I recall the time Thundra or someone similar sends She Hulk crashing down through the road. She emerges upside down head first inside a subway tunnel just as a train approaches. She rips her way through every carriage saying something like “That smarts”. Frankly it is amazing more civilians aren’t hurt or killed with such stunts happening regularly. So it seems so obvious I wonder why no one thought of it earlier. There must be teams that go out and do the repairs. Who foots the not inconsiderable costs for these works? She Hulk is an Attorney. Has she got insurance? If so then the premiums must be colossal. Damage Control first appear in the 1988 Marvel Age Annual and there were a number of 4 issue mini-series. I have just stumbled across the third set. Purchased new 30 years ago and read for the first time this week! The art is odd and the plot is odder. One of the Damage Control team has gained “Cosmic” power and threatens to end all life in all dimensions and universes as they are all a bit too untidy for his liking. Even Galactus and Infinity seem unable to stop him.
