I just think it suits the character that everything about her is manufactured.

Aphrodite posted:It's not consistent. There are also times when it's said it's British. My guess is that was Warren Ellis just assuming she was, as that's when her speech patterns got super English. Just like he assumed (fairly) that Kitty Pryde was of age when he hooked her up with Pete Wisdom, except that time he wasn't undoing dozens of issues of character growth like he did with Emma.

Hank is exactly the kind of person who would be utterly ignorant of his local sports scene, but who knows half the local theater crowd on sight. I bet he knows who Del Close is.

I can't picture Hank at improv, but I bet he saw Steppenwolf shows when they were in a church basement. Wasn't Hank a jock in highschool though, or was that in one of the non-canonical tellings of the early years?

I don't think he was a jock but he was good at gymnastics. He was interested in science which in the 60s meant he was excluded from being a jock.

Back when the Dark Beast replaced him for a time, DB did a bunch of research and I think they had Hank playing football in high school.

This is not the movie thread, but this is one of the things I hated about the Raimi Spider-Man movies, oh he's into science? NERD!!!!!!!! gently caress that poo poo, no ones thought that since the 80s at the latest. Especially in the Marvel world, someone who's good/interested in science means they're gonna be rich and important as gently caress. Maybe a Supervillain.

Yeah he was a huge high school football star. I remember that Rob Liefield/Jae Lee Marvel Comics Present story about his high school sweetheart.

Children of the Atom had him as a football player who was also into science. I remember in the Evolution cartoon he taught both PE and science classes at the high school all the X-Men went to.

This may be true, but being Peter Parker is suffering, so there has to be some reason for him to be an ostracized dork who gets picked on. Might as well go with the old stereotype

Over the course of it, Dark Beast goes back through Hank's life and kills just about everyone who ever meant anything to Hank except his parents. It's a shockingly dark book, especially since Mark Waid wrote it.

I remember in XMen Omega they meet each other, but I'm pretty sure Legion kills his AoA Bishop/stabs him with his psionic blade or whatever is it, causing both him and Legion to be written out of the timeline so I don't know if he'd appear in another book.

I was shocked at how long Dark Beast and Sugarman stayed around. They just kept going back to those wells over and over and over again. poo poo, for a while they replaced Mr. Sinister as the go-to retcon reason for stuff.

I assume they brought him over because 616 Kurt hadn't been resurrected yet. Also Nate Grey is terrible and X-Man was a dreadful loving comic book.

Heroic Sabertooth also survived thanks to Exiles and I actually really liked him. Creed's face turn is one of the only good things to come from Axis.
