50 States Initiative: Who's Guarding Your State?

I'd liked for USAgent to be based in Georgia.

I wonder if Hank Pym is going to Texas. He and Bonita got pretty close in the Beyond limited series, & it looks like she's on the Texas team.

 

[deemar325]

The thing is will Marvel acknowledge their relationship?

Beyond was just a mini.

 

[Galact-Gal]

Well, in Civil War 7 the picture that shows the Texas group has Hank in it. Heck, he's standing right next to Bonita. Now maybe he's just there as a famous registered hero, sort of showing that the group has official approval. But, hey, I can hope!

PA calls the Midnight Sons!

Cause we're awesome.

He does have the hots for Bonita. Maybe he'll stick around.

I doubt the Great Lakes Champions will be getting Wisconson, that's just not their luck. I'm foreseeing them getting pre-empted by a bunch of hereos brought in from out of state, and for publicity, their status as "registered" is denied and they are hunted.

WHAT would happen ifsomeone beliving he was a superhuman registered in good faith and was denied[ie a martial arts type]being told he DOESN'T qualify as superhuman what would happen to him/her?

That is a good question for characters like Danny Rand, Shang-Chi, and other who do things that TECHNICALLY any person could do with the right amount of discipline and training...

The Adventures of The Grand Guardian

trained in martial arts, fire arms, tactical scenarios, and all number of stressful items... the catch is he lives in Wisconson... and he wants to be a super-hero. he doesn't have an uber-budget, he can't do anything super-human... he just wants to be a super-hero so bad he trained himself to be one.

ohio gets the craptacular b-sides.



bet you don't remember them, do you?

 

[IronMan_2005]

We (Texas) got the freakin Rangers, wow how unstereotypical of them

I guess it's because we all wear cowboy hats and ride a friggin horse to work.

 

[Ahura Mazda]

Hercules II
Hephestos
Hermes
Aphrodite
Poseidon


How the hell did they get part of the Greek Pantheon to defend california and in particular, how they could convince Poseidon, the God of the Oceans and the brother of Zeus to play hero on a team

By the way, who is Hercules II

Louisiana seems like a much more appropriate state for the Midnight Sons. Although it doesn't really matter since Dan Ketch, Noble Kale, Vengeance, and the Nightstalkers other than Blade are all in limbo.

They're not the Greek pantheon. They're a bunch of newbies Tony gave some powers to and made into a team. Joe Q described it as Tony's "social experiment" with the SHRA. He's basically running them like a law enforcement team--people can get fired, new people can be given powers and replace them, etc.--but with powers.

 

[supermarvelman]

It's more like a baseball team more than a law enforcement team.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Whatever analogy works for you. I'm just saying the one thing it's not is the actual Greek pantheon.

 

[supermarvelman]

Of course not, Tony Stark is codenamed ZUES.

 

[PhotoJones]

no one remembers the b-sides?

You don't ride a horse to work? I guess you don't even say "howdy partner" to everyone you see. I agree that the stereotyping is kinda bothersome, but at least we're represented now. Anyway, if you think about it, New York-based Marvel Comics has designed a lot of characters on their regional stereotypes- look at Banshee or Arabian Knight for example- but we've yet to see a character play up to New York stereotypes. I'd like to see how New Yorkers reacted to Captain Yankee: a nuerotic, fast-talking, coffee swilling, crazy driving, Italian-American baseball fanatic with a penchant for tracksuits and gold chains. He has the power to be completely oblivious to other people under any circumstance and is known for his battle cry of "Getouttahere." Captain Yankee also has the power of the GAB, which allows him to talk someone unconscious by complaining about the Yankee's latest trade. His side-kick/love interest would be Princess Queens, a mutant Jewish American Princess with the power to make any man broke and a secondary mutation that allows her to deafen anyone within a 5 mile radius with her shrill, Fran Drescher-like sonic whine. They could head up a team which includes the Brooklyn Brawler(the muscle of the bunch), the Staten-Island Fairy (a winged creature who sprays her enemies with toxic "fairy" sludge), and Many-Hatten (um, I guess he has a bunch of expensive hats that he throw ala Odd-Job). Is the shoe on the other foot yet?

No, but the gauntlet's on the floor.

wasn't that a non marvel PARODY of the x-men?

I thought it might be something along those lines because nothing else makes sense.

I only wonder given this si a universe where the Gods exist, could they not take offense to having their names usurped.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Maybe that'll be covered in the Champions series. I doubt it, though. The Olympians have decided not to interact with the mortal world to an even greater extent than the Asgardians (before Thor took over as Allfather, I mean). They most likely wouldn't give a damn about humans masquerading as them.

Hercules, on the other hand, might have something to say about it.

.

The Olympians once invaded The Eternals and beat the crud out of them, and there seemed to be lots of bad blood over the fact that The Eternals had been masquerading as the Olympians for many years....from Thor #291 and #292...
