10 Comic Book Characters That Were Offensive At First

Many comic book readers won't recognize Black Maraih -that's probably because she has only made one appearance since 1982. Her disappearance makes sense though when you consider that she's an over-the-top stereotype of both blacks and the overweight. Of course, she wasn't the only offensive character to ever grace the pages of comics. 

This great TopTenz article does a wonderful job rounding up ten of the most offensively stereotypical comic book characters of all time and the results are equally fascinating and discomforting.

Really amazing description of the effects on hardware and people at about 2ºK.

As for cooking with Liquid Nitrogen: Why isn't the chef wearing gloves?

I commented here just to comment that the design for the Absolute Zero shirt is, well, cool I guess, but the problem is some people know absolute zero as -275 and not -459. I was hoping you had two options here.
