If Rogue fought Absorbing Man, would their powers (power to absorb abilities of a hero/villain) cancel each other out? They fought during Age Of Apocalypse. Rogue won.

Counter earth was nothing but a headache. It was corrupted by the Man Beast , he got his a$$ kicked by Galactus over it and it was stolen by some planet thieves in MTIO # 63. You're quite right! All the more reason to give up on the original Counter-Earth and start over, especially since its original spot in space has been vacated! I'm not especially advocating for it, mind you, but I'm always puzzled by characters whose grand plans fail because of an outside interference, and who just give upon them. The only exception I can think of is when Kristoff, thinking himself to be Victor von Doom, tried to re-enact his plan from FF#6 and shoot the Baxter Building into space. I always thought shooting the Baxter Building into space in FF #6 was a spectacular event. It was clever how Byrne got them out of it when it was done again. I imagine creating an entire earth is really time and resource consuming, not something you can do every month.

Have we ever had a story where a villain, aspiring villain, or mad geneticist combs the area after X-Men battles, looking for blood and tissue samples?
At the end of Moore's run on Captain Britain, Saturnyne took a cell sample from Mad Jim Jaspers, and used the threat of activating a Jaspers clone to blackmail a political opponent.

Whatever happened to the spider that bit Peter Parker? He was bitten by a radioactive pig and became Spider-Ham.

I'm in the process of writing a story and I had an idea for it involving my main character going to his psychiatrist and revealing to them that they're a superhero
Has this ever happened in comics before?

Yes. In The Brave and the Bold #85, the story which introduced the Neal Adams redesign of Green Arrow, both GA and Batman reveal their true identities to the same psychiatrist. At the conclusion, the shrink decides to hypnotize himself to erase this knowledge, though neither hero asks him to. Bob Hanry scripted, of course.
Cei-U! I summon the precedent!

Has Reed Richards ever invented something practical that had no function whatsoever in super-heroing, but was very popular among the general public? Ditto for Tony Stark, whose commercial are usually pimped up versions of things that already exist. Dan Slott implied that Reed does this... he talked about patents at one point (and that he lost them all somehow)... but I don't think there was any details. Tony Stark has definitely dealt in Energy a couple times. He did some practical stuff during the circuits Maximus era too I think. How about if a super VILLAIN did it... say, Mirror Master went legit, and used his mirror tech to develop what would essentially function as transporters.. he could be the richest man on Earth without doing anything illegal, then buy his way to political power.

Moon Knight currently has a therapist... it's heavily implied (perhaps even stated) that the Avengers required it to not lock him up after Age of Khonshu.

There a interesting concept... what would happen if a superhero with powers capable of leveling a city begins to suffer from dementia due his age..? Well, they did a comic about it I swear I had this idea few years ago...

I'm in the process of writing a story and I had an idea for it involving my main character going to his psychiatrist and revealing to them that they're a superhero Has this ever happened in comics before? In Star Brand, the main character told his analyst that he had superpowers even if he didn't view himself as a superhero (yet). The analyst reproached him for not living up to his potential. Shortly thereafter, Star Brand blew up Pittsburgh... he was a very careless superhero. Considering that he had been created by (and resembled) Jim Shooter, and that he was turned into a bumbling sociopath by John Byrne, there's a lot of psychological material to analyze there!

Just to remind you that there is a difference between a psychiatrist and an psychoanalyst. From thisThen probably, considering that in the world of comics being a superhero is an absolutely sensible career choice, a psychiatrist would say: "Okay, so?". In real life, well, I think a very interesting world of pharmaceutical possibilities would open up for the patient after such a claim ...

Oh, and why didn't I think of this before? (Don't answer that!)Though I think thus was more about Jung than Young Justice.
