State Your Opinion on a Character!!!! (Reboot)

[Iceman]

Excellent character!!

 

[KRYPTON INC.]

Love Kurt. Just a great all around character. He's fun, but he's got the pathos thing going on too. I really wish he was an Avenger though. He needs to get the hell away from the constant stupidity that is the X-Men. I could see he and Clint being big time buddies.

 

[Anubis]

Half of the super powered folks in Marvel are muties, this thread will be overrun with the them
Mutie haters, bear with it please
Who else is good?

Kitty, Iceman, Beast, Angel/Arc Angel, Beak. Maybe a few others who I'm forgetting cuz there's so damn many.

 

[KRYPTON INC.]

There were too many mutants for too long. Once they started in that there were many millions it became too much.

 

[Anubis]

They shoulda kept it that way. They were a real minority. Whittling it down to about 300 or so was what ruined the X-Men.

 

[KRYPTON INC.]

I don't know... I mean at that level it's not something that could be kept a lid on in any way. You'd have every sector of society impacted and the rest of the MARVEL U doesn't seem like it is. I aint saying bring it down to the level 300, but many millions is too much in my opinion. At that rate Charles Xavier could make a mint on the freaking franchise rights for his school alone.

 

[Anubis]

No, you wouldn't. Lets say there were 30 Million mutants worldwide. There's about 7 Billion people on Earth, so, that comes out to a little over 3% of the worlds population. That's hardly something that would impact every sector of society. Add to that that the vast majority of mutants are extremely low level. Different color eyes or weird deformities. It's a drop in the bucket when it comes down to it.

I like this reply

They said there was around 16 million in Genosha before the Sentinels and that was the largest concentration of them worldwide and we can probably assume there was at least that world wide.

As for Doctor Strange I like him but they keep having him on teams and he doesn't do much. I get that he's obscenely powerful and could annihilate anything he gets ticked at but don't have him join up and just hang around doing nothing 'because of the balance that must be maintained'. His early Ditko stuff was amazing though.

Mind you I loved that guy in the Ultimate Alliance games. He had a special move that turned enemies into boxes. You can then smash that box open for money/orbs or throw it at enemies. I was playing it with my friends when we first unlocked that move, we all thought it was awesome then I told them how terrifying it was. Imagine you're just Joe Schmo AIM agent getting paid minimum wage to guard a door when a bunch of superheroes smash through the wall and one guy turns your buddy into a wooden box. That would terrify me. I'd fall down and beg them not to turn me into a box.

I'd say 30 million is WAY too many mutants. That's enough to populate a pretty healthy sized nation-state, with it's own economy, armed force and the heft on the world stage that goes along with it. I mean, some mutants are walking WMDs, so this then goes into playing in the big leagues awful fast. Just saying, close to maybe two million mutants, spread throughout the world in many countries, each dealing with this small but powerful group? That seems reasonable. Dudes like Magneto don't need to collect a force of even hundreds of thousands of mutants to be a problem. A couple of handful would do. If there were millions and millions of mutants, just speaking for myself, you'd have mutants being a demographic that would be impactful in many ways, and I just don't see that being the case in the Marvel U. But perhaps I am taking it too seriously and over thinking it?




I like Stephen Strange when he is the dedicated magical protector of this realm, who has a true master's philosophical view of things, and it starts with the view point of how truly small and insignificant we all are, yet paradoxically he knows how meaningful each life still is. I don't like when he's just an arrogant, exposition machine/deus ex machine.

 

[random_havoc]

I like him as sorcerer supreme. Unfortunately for years now he's been either weakened by Bendis or nerfed so that he works in a team or some villain just happens to be more powerful than him making him useless anyways (eg recent Infinity event) all of which make him fairly well a waste of a character

 

[BLACKVULCAN]

LOVE DR. STRANGE! how could you not! dude has the cool 70's high top, collar cape combo! has a cool secret pad, has a banging babe and the cool ass MAGNUM P.I. 70's porn mustache!
He also was a DEFENDER and I freaking love the DEFENDERS. I love when Hulk's girl jarella died and hulk was all" Hulk knows what to do! Hulk will go see Hulk magician friend! Magician will fix jarella!" and the Dr. had to tell Hulk i can kick mucho butt but that 's something beyond the scope of my abilities! which before was the reason he became the Doc in the 1st place.
THAT WAS COOL! I LOVE DR. FEELGOOD!

 

[The Hill]

So who is this "Banging babe" in question these days? :heehee:

Anyway, I liked his animated movie.

 

[BLACKVULCAN]

So who is this "Banging babe" in question these days? :heehee:

that would be his girl Clea! Hill( she of the white/ gray/ platinum blonde whatever it is hair!) she's always and for me will be his girl! they dont call him "Dr.Strangelove" for nuthin!

 

[The Hill]

Ahh, I had thought so, but was unsure, wasn't he with Night Nurse for a while?

 

[Duke]

I like Dr. Strange, but I like Dr. Fate much better.

 

[The Question]

I like Doctor Strange a lot. I do think there should be more of a clear cut understanding at Marvel of how his powers work and what exactly he is and isn't able to do. It doesn't need to actually be explained to the audience, but they should have a set guideline to work off of. That's really the only flaw with the character, no defined limits.

 

[Fyrfytr998]

Dr. Strange? Meh.

Not sure whether to fear him or disregard him. Depends on who is writing him. Why shoot an arcane bolt when you could just Avada Kedavra a dude dead? He needs to be let off the leash.

In New X-Men 115 they said that there was around 30 Million and that Genosha being wiped out dropped it to about 15 million or less, half of the total mutant population.

Eh, not that big a fan.

But that's the thing, there aren't that many Magneto's in the grand scheme of things. Hence, Sentinels whipping out 16 Million Mutants. The majority of the people on Genosha were just your run of the mil freaks. Out of a population of less than 2%, the Omega levels and up make up a quarter of a fraction of that. So, 30 Mil is not that bad. A billion? Now that might be too much.

Plus, that was one of the best things about Morrison's run. The mutants are a threat. 300 mutants? Not really. (You know, unless the Phoenix comes back and empowers the biggest gaggle of A-holes of Mutant society) 30 Mil or so? Now that starts to look threatening.


And Doctor Strange is the man. He needs a movie ASAP. Should come out the same summer as Black Panther.

 

[The Question]

You need Mutants to be widespread and plentiful to make the metaphor work. 300 worldwide is an oddity, 99% of the people in the world will go their lives never meeting a mutant or knowing anyone who's ever met a mutant, and apparently 99% of the mutants in the world live in the United States.

30,000,000 worldwide is a race, a people with their own shared culture and history and experiences who are a part of day to day living in every country on Earth.

 

[KevanG]

and apparently 99% of the mutants in the world live in the United States.

They used to live in Genosha but then they all got murdalized by giant robots. Then they learned to never ever all group together again just to make sure. Then they all went to San Francisco and nothing bad ever happened again.
