Showing off his calves is just about the only thing Hank has done right on Krakoa.

One of my favorite gag stories is about an author of a renowned romance manga series and his group of assistants. They are all adorable idiots. Pictured below, the author and his editor (read from right to left).   from Monthly Girls' Nozaki-kun v12. If you never heard about it you should check it out!

How Wonderful! posted:I've written up an apologia of that subplot before and I forget what I said but I'll say this. The way you describe it, this would've been such a cool concept to explore, with maybe Leah Williams or Kieron Gillen writing it. Makes me wish we got that instead of 10+ years of Self-Righteous rear end in a top hat Scientist Hank.  Red Bones posted:Have Marvel made Beast queer since then? 'Cause I haven't read the arc where that stuff happens but as somebody who is queer, those panels out of context read an awful lot like somebody who hasn't realised they're queer and is taking advantage of a situation where they can explore that identity, while also having a safe way to walk it back ("It was all just a ruse to fool my ex-girlfriend"). It's very much a safe coming out fantasy in that respect, although I'm not sure if that's intentional. Like, all the scene between Hank and Scott is missing is a "would it be so bad if I were gay?" from Hank. IIRC, Josh Whedon gave Beast a girlfriend in Astonishing X-Men, Abigail Brand, who mentioned she found Beast hot when they were trapped in a snowstorm together, and then in the final issue mentioned Beast looked a lot like her dad. Then I think Ellis took over, and while Beast and Brand were still together there, his 'jokey schtick' is to turn Brand into a cringey cishet who brags to Scott and the others about how much freaky sex she and Beast has. Kieron Gillen's excellent S.W.O.R.D. miniseries is where their relationship dynamic is fleshed out, and it works. Brand's a professional on the job, but it doesn't mean she doesn't care. And Hank is secure with that, and just has fun being romantic toward her knowing Brand likes his gestures privately. I don't know if they're still together in Krakoa, but I think they more or less adopted Broo in past runs?

Marvel did a a series of one shots called Legacies that had newer super heroes team up with their namesakes. I think it involved time travel, so they were teaming up with them before the OG even knew they were gonna have a (Kamal Khan with Carol Danvers before Danvers stopped wearing a swimsuit to work, the good Hawkeye teaming up with Clint, etc)

There was an early volume of the Clamp manga XXXholic where the main guy finds Cardcaptor Sakura's magic wand in a pile of old trinkets... but it's only a toy, so all it does is light up and make noise.

There was also an episode of Kim Possible where Ron becomes a superhero and teams up with an aging actor who used to play a superhero. The actor was voiced by Adam West, while Ron was done by Will Friedle, who also voiced Terry McGinnis on Batman Beyond.

Ah crap, I’d not seen season 3 yet, I guess that never came back? Either way, the first 2 were great, I liked them way more than I would’ve thought, my excuse was watching them with my kid but I 100% snuck ahead and finished the seasons before her
