What your favorite Marvel and DC comic book characters really want for Christmas

Constantine: Superman’s liquor close
Comic book: Batman No. 86
In Batman No. 86, the Dark Knight was being tortured with nightmares (the series was called Knightmares). This one imagined Bruce and Superman having a bachelor party at Wayne manor while Lois Lane and Catwoman had their bachelorette party at the Fortress of Solitude. In the Fortress of Solitude, Superman was given 37,000 of the finest wines from all over the galaxy. Some of them aged over a billion years. Lois and Catwoman drank until their hearts were content and drank some more. Constantine would sell what’s left of his soul for an opportunity to drink those wines.
Who cares if this was a dream. It’s something Constantine would kill for. In this case, he’d try and trick Santa into thinking he was a good person. If anyone could fool Santa, it’s John Constantine. All of that alcohol is going to waste. Constantine would spend more time drinking than he would protecting the realm (if that’s what we’re calling it). He may not be a wine guy, but he loves to be drunk. For nothing else, he’d love to have it just to say he took it from Superman. Other than being robbed, it’s doubtful Superman would care. Be that as it may, Constantine would still brag about it.
