State Your Opinion on a Character!!!! (Reboot) - Part 6

[Spider-Aziz]

SWARM​

 

[WolfCypher]

That is a terrible picture, and your better be ashamed.

I like Swarm.

 

[BLACKVULCAN]

A nazi scientist who created genetically enhanced killer bees that he was going to use against the 3rd reich' s enemies.. Which killed him and then re- animated his body! What's not to LOVE!! I freaking Love Swarm!!

Plus he was " Champion's Villian 1st and I loved those guys!

 

[Spider-Aziz]

That's the Spider-Friends version, alien ball falling in a meteor and repeatedly says his name and "SWARM IS YOUR MASTER" to control people with his eye beams by giving them bee wings and bug eyes.

 

[BLACKVULCAN]

I read that champions book when he was 1st introduced. Where he was the Nazi and was killing people. Dude had bees fly down people's throat to sting and suffocate them ! Which called for the champions to show up and stop him. I was like whoa this guy is bad ass... Years after that he showed up on " amazing friends " doing what you said aziz man! And I was like what the hell is this "@&$(!! Turning people into bees ?!and then I realize oh this is for kids... They can't have a nazi killing people on Saturday morning cartoons!! Hehe... I still like him even watered down but I like killer bees guy better!

KOBIK​

 

[WolfCypher]

Whoever's hand that is about to grab her is obviously a stranger and she has every reason to look concerned.

 

[Spider-Aziz]

She's [blackout]the cosmic cube/tesseract/whatevertheygonnacallthethingamajingnext[/blackout]

 

[Mike Murdock]

I liked her in Standoff. Can't comment beyond that.

 

[KevanG]

A twofer:

I love the idea of Swarm but the actual character is idiotic. If he worked for the government, would he be a B-Man?

Kobik: She's pretty much the same idea as Kubik aka the same origin. They both are cubes turned into sentient things. The difference is one is a cosmic entity running around the universe that most readers have no idea exists and the other is a little kid that everyone is terrified of.

 

[Spider-Aziz]

FALCON HAS A SISTER​

 

[BLACKVULCAN]

everybody has sister or a brother or a long lost clone cousin from a parallel dimension from a different earth Spider my man!

 

[Spider-Aziz]

True.

But she was ignored.

 

[Spider-Aziz]

TANAK VALT​

 

[KevanG]

I know **** all about the Nova Corps on a good day.

MAGUS​

 

[DawnWarrior]

So is it pronounced with the short A like magnet, or the long A like mage? I always pronounced it the first way as a kid, but nowadays I'm pretty sure it's the second. Remember Gargoyles had that one dude called "The Magus."

'Infinity War' was when I was first getting into comics, so I got a front row seat for his big moment of glory. As such I liked him better with the short hair; the afro looks a little out of place on a purple space wizard.

 

[Mike Murdock]

Apparently it is the latter, although I've always gone with the former as well.

 

[BLACKVULCAN]

Eh! I never got dude other than he was the corrupt evil self of warlocky... But the white fro was cool!' Dude looked evil with that "&$$

 

[KevanG]

Magus has the best evil 'Fro in comics. Anyone who says otherwise is a liar and jealous of his majesty.

 

[Spider-Aziz]

Jealous?
What the heck is an evil 'Fro?

So is it pronounced with the short A like magnet, or the long A like mage? I always pronounced it the first way as a kid, but nowadays I'm pretty sure it's the second. Remember Gargoyles had that one dude called "The Magus."

Apparently it is the latter, although I've always gone with the former as well.

I guess it's sensible to pronounce it "Mage-os", but I automatically go with "Mag(azine)-us"

 

[Mike Murdock]

Keep in mind it's still a hard G. May-Gus is probably the best approximation.

 

[BLACKVULCAN]

"GAMORA better HAVE MY MONEY!!!"

that fro is EVILLLLLLLLLl!!!

 

[Jordacar]

Magus is...not a terrible villain I suppose. I liked the whole In-Betweener stuff where he had to ensure Warlock would turn into him. I re-read Infinity War recently (shortly after reading the Avengers v. Thanos trade and re-reading Gauntlet), and War is really kind of blah.

There's definitely something to his desire to be more than just Adam Warlock's shadow later on. I get the sense that Gauntlet was never conceived as a trilogy (it works better as the last part rather than the first) and Jim Starlin didn't really have anything substantive left to say on Warlock, Thanos and friends.
