Here's my compromise: she can be officially named "Magik," but everyone has to call her "Maggie," and not take her edgy superhero name seriously.

Can somebody post the panels from Secret Warriors where Quake fucks knock off human torch and Ms. Marvel gets mad about it? Mostly for the "We were just talking!" Line.

He does grow as a character so it's not like he's just being a dumbass all of the time, just 90% of it. The original series and the revisits are great by the way and I highly recommend them to people as a great old DC gem.

Yeah I got the JLI omnibus and thought it was fun. It wasn't super funny like I thought it would be though. Not that it was serious, just the things the writer did to be funny I didn't really find funny. Except the suburban Batmobile, that was great.

Beau Smith did a lot towards rehabbing the character in the GG series from the late 90's.

It'd pretty much undercut one of the main things we're willing to suspend disbelief over, but has there ever been a superhero who's actually suffered brain damage from constantly being beaten unconscious?

Blue Beetle was in a coma for 8 issues or so after Doomsday beat him nearly to death. And then he had ptsd and wasn't sure he wanted to continue being a hero.

Guy Gardner had a total personality change after being one-punch'd by Batman and then banging his head on the underside of the JLA computer console. Of course, that was more sitcom-type amnesia than realistic brain damage. Isiah Bradley, the original black Captain America, also ended up with brain damage IIRC, although I don't recall if it was from fighting or from problems with the early versions of the super-soldier serum.

DigitalRaven posted:Not just the SAS — they were backed up by a bunch of Marvel UK heroes who hadn't been seen in goddamn ages. I really enjoyed MI13 (although I wish they kept the second CapB costume instead of that helmetless one) but my favourite part about that page is the writer knew the run was about to end and literally just chucked a bunch of classic brit characters in for a single splash page so he could say he'd done it. That's Death Head's only appearance in the run iirc.
