I got the impression this is all leading to a rude wake up call regarding precisely that.

She ended her time with Spider-Man in tears due to her attitude going over extremely poorly.

Gwenpool #10

After several issues of the universe smacking it into Gwen's head that actions have consequences, comic book world or not, she mounts an operation to rescue her colleagues/friends from an army of alien squid weapon dealers. For once she planned it out with a mind to avoiding civilian casualties (although at one point she decided to hold innocent bystanders hostage in order to convince a third party to help her). At the end of it all, she's successful and feeling pretty good about herself.

She's supposed to have superhuman strength (the 5-ton range or so), but I honestly can't think of a story offhand where she actually uses it. Jessica does a lot of scrapping in the Hopeless run, but it's rarely the kind of wall-busting activity that you'd expect.

By rights, she's got a very flexible power set: strength, wall-climbing, pheromones, and the venom blasts. She's just coming off a long stretch as a character where she's rarely allowed to be as competent as she used to be.

Anything's better than 'naked hostage girl'.

Which is odd, because they've always been effective villains-in their own right, even, thanks to the Master Mold mess-in the comics. On the other hand they've also tried to take over humanity for their own good.

At least Jubilee is firing EXPLOSIONS. And didn't get arrested. When your giant killer robots can be killed by "It's a gorilla(?) person", you went for the lowest bidder.

While not "Funny", I remember the guy who decided to give funding for Master Mold was pissy at mutants because a time traveling Master Mold killed their loved one in the crossfire :v:

Bonus contrived irony. He was extra mad at mutants because a random healer was all "Sorry, I'd love to help but the writers gave me mutant healing powers that only heal mutants".

Fake Edit: drat, now I'm remembering reading about Nimrod in the comics well after seeing the cartoon, and being amazed he became a vigilante with a construction worker secret identity :allears: (And then logic looping time traveling Master Mold into killing himself). I thought you were dumb as poo poo in the cartoon, but you turned out to be a pretty okay killer robot from the future, Nimrod.

Gwenpool is basically a lighthearted parody of a specific type of comic fan. She is not a bad person but is completely incapable of grasping that she may live in a comic world now but that doesn't mean the world does't have consequences for the people in it. She basically has to be heading for a moment where she realizes that comic character or no these people suffer when she does poo poo to them.

There's nothing special about me.
It's not exactly a super new concept. There's been more than a few stories of 'character gets transported to fictional setting, doesn't treat anything that happens there as real or treat anyone there as though they're real people who have lives, eventually this has horrible consequences'. It's basically the response to 'well I'd be TOTALLY awesome if I was in this setting'.

What I'm curious about is how long before someone has her go after some powerful mystical artifact or another because she has the knowledge that only someone who's obsessed with the minutiae of the Marvel Universe would really have.

That, or have her in a clash with the CONTINUI-TEENS, the group of teenagers who try to make sure all the events of the marvel universe go the way they're supposed to because they found a few longboxes of Marvel Comics that floated into the swamp of the Nexus of All Realities.

There is approximately 8 billion of those.

For the record, if I was in the Marvel Universe I'd be either exactly the same or dead from getting in an online argument with someone who turned out to be a demon in human form or Eddie Brock or something.
