If they bring him back then Warpath has literally no reason to exist. Like, he only joined up to honor his bros legacy.

they can bring back John Proudstar without making James completely irrelevant, especially considering he's now a character with 30 years of history compared to John, who was in 2 issues and then died.

I really don't know how old anyone is supposed to be anymore (and neither does anyone else) but it'd be funny if James is now bigger than his older brother.

If there's one thing the history of comics has established, it's that there's only room for one character with super-strength and heightened endurance.

I think he was pretty neat in the original X-Force and just today I've spoken to a bunch of people who are fans of him. It's ok to have a brother, in fact I recommend it, although granted my brother and I have very different powersets unlike the Proudstar boys (he can dunk a basketball, I have a sixth sense that tells me when a dog is about to pee on something important).

John was on The Gifted, so it's not like he hasn't been alive in any recent media. I dunno how many people actually watched that show though.

power set overlap among fighty mutants doesn't matter much right now. bring in a dead character if there is an interesting story to write with them, or else just assume they are stuck in the queue or alive just off panel.

I like the idea of heroes just going "you know, these skintight bodysuits are great for covers and posing, but there's a reason most people wear comfier stuff most of the time. Ill just make it out of the magical rip-proof stuff we all use anyway to avoid accidental adult ratings"

There's actually like a bunch of panels from the later Claremont era having random characters talk about how protective the new Jim Lee designed outfits are, despite clinging to every crevice on their body.

Same arc as when Jean Grey was briefly a tentacle monstrosity with no mouth IIRC

It's only when you posted that the Proudstars are basically the Belushi's of the X-Men.

Kitty Pryde only recently got a costume that looks good.
It's generally weird that comic book artists are so bad at designing clothes considering it's such an important part.

Well with Kitty Kate, wasn't it usually that she designed her own costumes and they were kind of intentionally bad?

This would also lead to the potential that Garth Merenghi's Darkplace was Doctor Strange's original hospital. And the accident that ruined his career? "Not my fault, monkey bastard hands!"

I was so dissapointed when I grew up and learned that real orgies are nothing like this.

Man, when I was about six or seven years old, a kid told me about orgies, and the way he described them was exactly like this, complete with the whippings for dropping bread in the fondue. I’ve spent my entire adult life wondering where on earth he got that idea... and now I know.

She's had good costumes in the past. Her blue ninja costume was good. The couple that were basically just variations on the standard X-Men uniform have been good (and this pirate costume is based on that!)

As far as bringing back Thunderbird, I think there's some interesting stories that can be told with him coming back and being a fish out of water and finding his brother lived a whole bunch of experiences that could have been his.
