Maybe He's Been Watching Too Much BBC America?

In this week's Iron Man #502, Tony Stark asks Otto Octavius for some advice on how to track down a potential insider saboteur at Stark Resilient. Doc Ock's response:

"Suss out"? "Spanner"?? What, Doctor Octopus is suddenly British??

(Before you go to look it up, no...born and raised in Schenectady...)

Makes a change to read realistic British dialogue in an American comic, though. Normally we're portrayed wandering around going "What, what? Toodle pip! You blithering boob!" and so on, so I'm all for this.

True, it'd be more appropriate for a British character to be speaking these lines but hey, I'll take what I can get.

Right: bangers and mash, anyone?
