Christmas

Santa Claus is a public domain figure so it's no surprise he's shown up in a lot of comic books. If you had the chance to write a Santa story, wouldn't you? But how would you wield this power? So if you wrote for a major comic company, would you have Santa team up with a hero like Superman or Spider-Man? Would you have a character in your comic battle jolly old Saint Nick? Perhaps you'd have a Hydra-controlled battle Santa-Bot ravage the city while a human-sized dragon looks on?&nbsp;The wonderful thing about comics is that all of these things can and have happened. Santa has been on both sides of the law, for and against heroes. He's even had what was effectively an origin story told in comic form by Grant Morrison.These are the strangest moments in comic book history featuring Santa Claus! Be it a cameo, a single-issue appearance, or a full on Santa comic! These are the strangest times Santa showed up in comic books.

Actors Acting Weird

When you think of fame, some people thing of glamour, success and money. Others think of burden, paparazzi, and obligation. Sometimes a little of one or the other leads to a whole lot of crazy choices., and this is certainly (or is it?) the case with Shia LaBeouf. &nbsp;Now, let the record show we aren't saying Shia LaBeouf is crazy. Far from it. This weird and fascinating art project he's (inadvertently? consciously?) turned his life into is a force to be reckoned with.&nbsp;We'd love for him to pull the mask (or brown paper bag) off one day and reveal it was one giant, multi-year Joaquin Phoenix-esque charade. But with each altercation and each outlandish new exploit, it gets harder and harder to believe the stories emerging in the news are 100% performance. Every random fight caught on camera, every story of on-set antics, every art display (where LaBeouf is seen to be crying), and every bizarre interview takes him (and us) further down the rabbit hole.These are the craziest things Shia has done, and there are plenty more not represented on this list. That we had enough for leftovers is a testament to what this child star has become, or what he's made himself into. We may never know. But whatever the case, we're all watching.

The Simpsons has a distinctive style, one that fans love to riff on in original artwork. Simpsons fan art takes advantage of the instantly recognizable characters and animation. Any time you see someone with that cartoony style, four fingers, bulging eyes, and yellow skin. It's pretty clearly Simpsons-inspired. Which makes it easy for fans to parody and homage. But that's a double-edged sword: it also makes it extra hard to recreate the first family of Springfield in any style that isn't the classic Matt Groening way. Still, passionate fans find ways. The Simpsons have been around for nearly&nbsp; decades at this point. Three decades! That's a staggering figure for any show, much less an absurdist cartoon sitcom chock full of references both popular and esoteric. Yet somehow The Simpsons has stayed relevant all these years, and the audience keeps creating cool Simpsons artwork playing the show's imagery.Not only does the show have a passionate following it also has a very specific style. &nbsp;These are the people who've achieved that lofty goal. This the best alt art by the fans! These are the funniest pieces of Simpsons fan art! Vote up your favorites below!

Famous people have made comic book cameos almost as long as comics have been on sale. Comics are a fantastic medium for a lot of things: conveying important morals to kids, <a href="http://www.ranker.com/list/progressive-comic-books/jimmy-andreakos">spreading the word on big issues</a>, telling larger than life stories, and, of course, creating mutually beneficial publicity for publishers and celebrities.It was more common back in the Silver Age of comics (Superman has teamed up with everyone), but celebs would try to up their exposure by appearing in the funny pages. Everyone from the cast of SNL to Muhammed Ali showed up for one reason or another. Nowadays, famous people don't appear in comics as often, but it does happen. <a href="http://www.ranker.com/list/barack-obama-facts/coy-jandreau?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">Barack Obama</a> has teamed up with Spidey, Tim Gunn has worn Iron Man's armor, and Charles Barkley has gone toe-to-toe with Godzilla.Whatever the reasons for these team-ups, they found superheroes battling alongside recognizable real-life figures.

Deadpool is not exactly the shining pillar of light in the superhero community. He started out as a villain, he has no shame in making the most insensitive jokes possible, and he takes out people for money. But none of those are even among the worst things Deadpool has ever done.

No, these go far beyond&nbsp;&quot;antihero moments.&quot; These aren&#39;t edgy Batman situations. These are truly awful things that Deadpool has done to friends, family, and enemies alike.

That&#39;s not to mention just what he keeps in those pouches of his.

These are the most awful and messed up things Deadpool has ever done, and we love him for each and every one of them. He truly is the regenerating degenerate and fans wouldn&#39;t have it any other way! Vote up your favorites below!

The Deadpool movie deserves to be rated R for a myriad of reasons: his <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/best-deadpool-insults/ranker-comics" target="_blank">sense of humor</a> is hardly PG-13, he&#39;s as adult-themed as they come, and he&#39;s about as violent as a comic character can be. While Marvel characters like Punisher or Moon Knight are great at inflicting all sorts of gruesome violence, Deadpool is great at both dishing it and receiving it.

In fact, thanks to his healing factor, Wade Wilson might actually be better at getting horrifically injured. This is a guy who once told himself &quot;Remember, hurting yourself is your super-power.&quot; And he definitely puts in the work. You name it, it&#39;s probably happened to him.

Disney plans to produce Star Wars spin off films every other year, between the core movies in the ongoing saga. With a rabid audience and a large mythology to draw from, Star Wars movies will be hitting a multiplex near you until the sun explodes and destroys us all. Maybe even after that; all that remains of the world as we know it will be cockroaches, Twinkies, and Star Wars movies. But which&nbsp;Star Wars characters will end up in standalone movies? Who is deserving of these Star Wars spin offs? Should they make films of the classic core characters? We know we're getting a solo Han movie, but maybe Leia too? Should filmmakers explore the backstory of some of the supporting classic characters? How about the very obscure? How did Salacious Crumb end up bro-ing out with Jabba? Maybe Greedo deserves a movie to tell his side of who shot first?And that's only the original trilogy. The Force Awakens and the prequels are dense with Star Wars spin off potential as well. Just imagine a dashing Poe Dameron adventure or even a Citizen Kane-style epic chronicling Boss Nass's brutal rise to power in Gungan politics.

Lists about Matt Groening's animated sitcom about an average family from Springfield, airing since 1989.

The Simpsons

Long before there were mainstream adult cartoons on network TV, The Simpsons was one of the first cartoon shows that parents opposed because of racy jokes and raunchy humor. Kids couldn&#39;t understand why any Simpsons jokes weren&#39;t appropriate for them. After all it was a cartoon, so it had to be for children, right?

Well, now that&#39;s it&#39;s been on for decades, all the kids that were forbidden to watch it are now grown up enough to look back and think, &quot;Hey wait, maybe that wasn&#39;t as PG as I thought.&quot; South Park, Family Guy, and more have all made old school Simpsons seem a bit tame, but writers and animators managed to slide in a whole of innuendo, raunch, and surprisingly dark material into a show that has always attracted pint-sized viewers.

This list takes a look back at the cartoon that started it all, the show that sneaks in some of the best adult humor on primetime TV, be it dirty minded, sacrilegious, or just too adult-oriented for kids to grasp. These are the best jokes from The Simpsons that didn&#39;t quite make sense as a kid, the ones that slyly snuck in generally grown up content.&nbsp; Vote for the most surprisingly adult jokes below!

The first film not only held the record as the <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/the-highest-grossing-movies-of-all-time/polkadotking?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">highest grossing film of all time</a>, but did so well that it nearly quadrupled interest in paleontology and paleontologists. You know and love this franchise, but what&nbsp;behind-the-scenes facts and interesting Jurassic Park trivia are&nbsp;still out there to learn? Read on to find out!

The first film (as is usually the case) was certainly the best, but despite being less critically acclaimed, Spielberg&#39;s sequel The Lost World: Jurassic Park is nothing to scoff at either. It reinvigorated that insane passion for dinosaurs, advanced CG/animatronic hybrids, and further instilled a sense of wonder in an entire generation, getting them thinking about just what it would be like if dinosaurs were still around today. The third film is basically an amusement park ride on film, (which in some ways really fits the tone and the concept of these blockbuster Hollywood movies), for better or worse.&nbsp;

To celebrate one of the greatest film franchises of all time, we&#39;ve decided to look back and unearth some trivia you may not know from all Jurassic Park movies. Vote up the most interesting Jurassic Park facts below!
