I know that you idiot, someone else is going to take the Quasar mantle now that hes dead, youve already seen this person.

You just said that the person who'd be taking over the mantle has been seen in Annihilation. Well, I've seen Wendell in Annihilation, goddamnit!

If I were redoing Quasar, I would just eliminate the whole 'band' concept. It's dated and outlived its usefulness. There's nothing symbolic about them. No one recognizes him as protector because of the gaudy coffee cans. Unfortunately it was reduced to "Dick Tracy Wrist Watch" gimmickry, where Quasar was constantly (and pointlessly) 'talking' into them, or explaining everything they did. He's the avatar of infinity. He possesses some (still) starbrand. All I hear about is the bands, the bands, the bands. If he's all that, why is it just a simple matter of handing over trinkets and giving the title to someone else? As much as I like the character this is why I think he was set up to fail eventually. Enemies looked at him like a lump of flesh inside weapons they wanted. (throughout the whole series, they were forever cutting off his hands or whatever just to get them) Even allies made light of him. Kismet put him down saying 'he had no real ability, it was all in his weapons'. But because (once again) he did something PASSIVE such as protecting the pod she was impressed, and sought him as a mate. Mighty quick turnaround, I'd say. His 'resourcefulness' was a sudden turn on to her.

There's been much discussion about his latest 'death' and how he couldn't possibly be absorbed by the cosmic rod. The thinking is that it doesn't affect organic matter.

But think, people. Who says Quasar is all organic anymore? He HAS been an energy being before. True Quasophiles that know the history are aware of this. He isn't just a function of those stupid trinkets.

I like the new costume. Clean, sleeker lines without looking at the ugly, clunky, coffee cans. Some artists drew the damn things so big they covered his forearms like gaudy mirrors. It also looks 'cosmic' enough without making him look like a tinsel tree.

Thanos is the new Quasar!

My mind.

Bastard.

 

[Varient]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Darthphere]

Bastard.

I give ye hope!

 

[stingerman]

Oh no they didn't just "Kill Him"

Doesn't he have Eon?

Where the hell is the power he gained from that tattoo from new Universe?

How could a creep who the FF gave trouble to do damage to someone in the same class as a green Lantern????


Holy SPIT!

HAS MARVEL LOST THEIR MINDS?????

Yes.

 

[Zaptoitnow]

And the official award for bringing back an eight month dead topic with NO valuable input and NOTHING new to add goes to:

STINGERMAN!

j/k but in all honesty, why bring this thread up with nothing more than "Yes."?

 

[Elijya]

At least he searched for an existing thread instead of starting a new one


Now bake me a cake

Damn.

I remember when this place was gentler and polite without a biting comentary.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Those days are gone, gramps. Contribute or die!

 

[sandwraith]

Sigh, I remember during Busiek's early run on Avengers, during the whole "Morgan le Fey" storyline, Quasar was one of the only guys to snap out of le Fey's trance because he felt dedicated to the Avengers. As did Photon, Hawkeye, Cap (duh) and Justice (strangely enough). While I'm saddened by his death I really don't think its decent to bring him back this soon

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Justice makes sense. He was a giant Avengers fanboy. I'm sure he hates what's happened to the Avengers post-Civil War.

 

[Egotastic]

He's preoccupied with ****ing **** up...New Warriors style!

 

[sandwraith]

I'm just saying how he felt more strongly about the Avengers as compared to like the other 3 founders. Only Cap and Thor snapped out of the le Fey spell whilst Ant-Man, Wasp and Iron Man were happy playing Medieval Avengers.

During that issue I thought the line-up had been decided but NO....Busiek HAD to add Ms.Marvel (Warbird) and Triathalon (much much later) to the lineup...and Quasar ended up on the wrong side of limbo.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Quasar got to hang out at one of those deep space outposts. That was... important...

 

[sandwraith]

...Right..really. If Busiek was going for an energy/flight-type blue-eyed boy I really don't know why he chose Justice over Quasar. I assumed he was going to have a Major Victory/Justice tie-in or something but nadda. Quasar had years over Vance!

Deep Space outposts...? Like "Binary" and her "Space X-Men" a few years back?

 

[Egotastic]

Quasar has a stigma of being an old, silly comic book character. I mean, his name is Quasar. That's pretty fruity. Justice is a lot more accessible for most people.

 

[sandwraith]

Yet "Wonder" Man remains an enduring and youthful character....how???

 

[TheCorpulent1]

I don't see how "Quasar" is fruity. It's an astronomy term.

 

[Egotastic]

It is when it's in reference to a grown man.

Yet "Wonder" Man remains an enduring and youthful character....how???

Because he's a Hollywood actor. Because more people have been exposed to stories involving him joking around with Beast than Quasar doing whatever he's doing up in space.
