Hulk ANGRY! Hulk SMASH! Hulk READ! Hmmm, actually I’m not too sure about that last part. Though we do know that Bruce Banner is a brilliant doctor and nuclear physicist, so he probably is quite well-read. So what better place for Dr. Banner to keep his books safe from his fits of radioactive rage than inside this Hulk bookcase?

It’s made by Whittled in Wood – the same folks behind the epic AT-AT bookcase, and made from birch plywood. Though from everything I can tell, there was no whittling involved, but I’m not going to argue with the Hulk. Naturally, it’s been painted in Hulk green – which I think should really be a standard paint color at the hardware store – along with Iron Man Red, Batman Black, and The Tick Blue.

The Incredible Hulk Bookcase sells for $800(USD) over on Etsy.

Whosoever holds this ice tray, if he be worthy, shall possess the power of ice. Fortunately this officially-licensed silicone mold has low standards about who it deems worthy.

You only need to pay $14 (USD) and it will do your bidding. As long as your bidding is for it to make hammer-shaped things.

Command thy browser and pre-ordereth thine iceth trayeth on Entertainment Midgard Earth.

If you like LootCrate, check out Nerdblock. It’s also a geek-oriented subscription that sends you a box containing 5 to 6 items every month. Each package contains a t-shirt plus other geeky items. The biggest draw of Nerdblock is that it gets its merchandise from major brands and companies like Star Wars, Nintendo, Marvel and DC.

The company’s retro-style introduction video comes off as a bit patronizing, but it does explain everything you need to know about the service.

Ready to surprise yourself? Head to Nerdblock’s website to sign up. It costs $20 (USD) per month but you can cancel anytime if your heart can’t take the suspense anymore.

Bruce Wayne may be on permanent vacation with Selina Kyle, but that hasn’t stopped Batman from topping YouTube’s list of most popular superheroes. Based on views and amount of content, the Dark Knight is number one, racking up 3 billion pairs of eyes on 71,000 hours of video. That’s 213 trillion hours you spent watching the antics of a flying rodent with daddy issues — or roughly 42,000 views per hour of footage. More surprising than that though, is who came in second place. It wasn’t Spider-Man (seventh with 340 million views of 7,400 hours of video) or Tony Stark (fourth with 1.7 billion views of 20,000 hours of video). If you heard thunder, you heard right. Thor has 2.1 billion views and 66,000 hours of video, but only around 32,000 views per hour of tape. What does it all mean? Mjolnir’s owner is around 33 percent less popular (views per hour) than Gotham’s First Son — and he’s a god. Ouch.

That Bats has a pair of killer video games benefiting from repeat walkthrough viewings probably helps, but we imagine clips like what’re after the break do the actual heavy lifting. If you want to see if your favorite made the cut, hit YouTube’s blog from the source link below.

What does Spidey do when he tires of swinging from skyscrapers and working for the Daily Bugle? He likes to take some time away, on his speed boat. His Spidey speed boat.

The problem is, this boat makes him stick out like a sore thumb and all of the villains also have boats, so they take it to the water and battle it out in an epic Marvel-meets-Waterworld event that should really be a blockbuster movie. However since nobody is out there to see it, it really doesn’t matter.

It always ends with Spidey getting a call on his cell from Aunt May, having to head back into the city and pick up some groceries.
