I don't think this is literally true, but I could swear I read somewhere that Sharon is hanging out with Wyatt Wingfoot on a reservation. Waiting for anyone to remember they exist.

We might get a lot of mileage out of the 50 State Inititive, seeing as it got a lot of mileage out of gone & forgotten characters. Cap'n Ultra over there was the Nebraska team. The whole team.

Archyduke posted:I know Cable was popular around this time, I remember him being popular, but when you lay it all out in the open like this I have no idea what we were all thinking. He's old, he's balding, and judging from this dossier his nipples are theoretically among the most chafed in the biz? The story I've heard, most frequently from Chris Sims I think, is that when Rob Liefeld sat down to create Cable he looked at the most popular characters in other books of the time: Wolverine and the Punisher. So he made a guy with more knives than the former and a bigger gun than the latter.

Hh. I picked up on that in JMD's Spectre run, but didn't think much of it because that's just how the character rolls. I'd like to see Null The Living Darkness take on Spectre.

Lobok posted:He must get tired of having to explain that his name is because of his powers and not because he's an arrogant/delusional fool who thinks he's master of the whole planet. I would expect that for a villain but he sounds like a good guy? Reminds me of Earth Man from Geoff Johns' LoSH run. I think in his case it wasn't that he wanted to rule Earth, he was just a racist dickhead that wanted to remind people of how great humans are.

I think the only comic, hell maybe the only panel, I've read about Micromax was a random issue of Excalibur that amounted to "meanwhile, Micromax is still in a coma."

Synthbuttrange posted:"Can teleport to anywhere he's never been" is pretty neat I guess. It says cannot, but I agree. I always liked when mutants would have a special twist on an otherwise stock power. Like Lila Cheney's teleportation: she can go to another planet with ease, but going to another place on the same planet isn't really her thing.

Cabbit posted:I feel like these sort of quirks were more common when writers were big on whipping up elaborate pseudoscience bullshit to justify how random genetic mutation could, say, let somebody teleport to a Hell-adjacent pocket dimension, which is another reason why I wish that was still a big thing. I haven't thought about it much, but I always assumed it was just as much a Claremontism as the body modification and "No quarter asked."

I think that's the book where somebody tries to call her out on wearing a bikini and she snaps back "I'm covered in fur and it's like 90 degrees outside!" Although according to this, she can just choose to not be covered in fur. That's Tigra for ya, I guess.

Wheat Loaf posted:There's this brief period in the early 80s (the one with the Molecule Man story which was pretty good) where the Avengers team is Cap, Iron Man, Thor, Yellowjacket, the Wasp... and Tigra. I think that's an odd line-up; it's basically the original team plus one. On the other hand, it's basically her whole deal summed up: Tigra has always been a warm body to fill out a team roster. She is one quantifiable unit of superhero. Doesn't seem like a high bar, but it keeps her coming back every now and then.

Lurdiak posted:The early 90s were actually even worse visually than the SPIKEGAR THE MUTILATOR stuff people love to make fun of from slightly later in the decade, because the big two combined the trending gritty overmuscular image aesthetic with leftover 80s costume tackiness, leading to pages like this. That's Nick Fury? He looks like Dirk Anger got swole. Which is kinda the point of Dirk, sure, but it's not a good look.

I've fallen off listening to Jay & Miles Xplain the X-Men, but hell yeah I recognize a minor recurring character from the late Eighties. It turns out that's 90% of the stuff that needs Xplaining. As I recall, Technet are interdimensional bounty hunters with a frequently shifting membership and they form a rivalry with their future selves.

It's kinda the same as reading Marston's early Wonder Woman. You see a very earnest, optimistic proto-feminism on the page right next to "yeah, it's so empowering for women to let me look at titties or get tied up."

I do kind of like Tigra. For some reason. Maybe it's male gaze? Maybe it's my brain filling in the gaps of "also-ran cat themed Avenger" with the indisputably better Hellcat? Maybe I want Hank to settle down?
