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

[KevanG]

Songbird is awesome. Before Thunderbolts I only remember her from from Hawkeye book when she got taken down with Angar the Screamer. I read a bunch of Thunderbolts books and I really like how the changed he from some idiot supervillain to someone who's actually pretty awesome. She stands up to Osborn when he takes over, leads the Thunderbolts by herself and makes friends with the Radioactive Man and they make him a neat character as well. She's come a long way and they made her someone we'd like to read about. I actually only read anything in Thunderbolts because of the second Ultimate Alliance game where she was playable. She was a great character in that.

I never understood when ever a mutant healer showed up why couldn't Scott just ask to repair the brain damage so he didn't have to wear glasses 24/7. I can see how wearing shades or goofy looking goggles can be annoying from time to time.

It turns out that it was more of a mental block than anything. Still doesn't explain why he and Rogue and all the other whiners couldn't have just had Stark or Richards just make a mini version of the power dampeners that everyone seemed to have to use against them.

 

[Spider-Aziz]

Or even Chuck, he was one of the guys building the Danger Room, right?

Well back up until he was hanging with the Shiar it was really just a deathroom with barbells. After that though, they could have miniaturized it it about an hour if he asked.

I liked Moira. She was willing to tell Xavier to go **** himself if she felt like and and kicked tons of ass all over the place even when she had the legacy virus. She even went out like a champ when she had to fight off Mystique and Sabertooth while working on the cure.

 

[Anubis]

I....have no opinion on her one way or the other.

 

[runawayboulder]

She's one of those characters they probably shouldn't have killed off. The X-Men don't have many non mutant allies. She also was good for keeping Xavier in check.

Because of the appropriately named trope:Reed Richards is useless.

Problems in superhero comics are meant to stay problems, not to be overcome. As Anubis said, true character development is very rare in superhero stories.

I like Moira. Like others have said, she called Xavier on his BS. And he sometimes actually listened.

 

[BLACKVULCAN]

i dig moria! I liked her and Banshee together and that her son was the evil mutant Proteus made her sympathetic to the Xmen cause... and that sometimes she told chuckie to get Tossed! She's cool!

I know, I know. If they used common sense in comics 99% of the super villains would have been killed off years ago.The only ones left would either work for the government, like the Thunderbolts, or unstoppable or immortal. Arkham would only have actually crazy people and the Joker would have been put to death no matter what Batman whines about. Mind you, the Mutant cure used in X3 would totally have been taken over by the government asap.

 

[Spider-Aziz]

Moira is cool
I don't like her son and his father

 

[Iceman]

Great supporting character. I loved having background characters like her, Forge & Banshee over the years. And interesting being a non mutant plus her unique relationship with Xavier.

[BLACKVULCAN]

Howard is the EVERLOVING $%^&^!!! He was Satire before there was such a thing as satire! He was " The Simpsons" back when they were funny! Oscar wilde wrote " if you want to tell people the truth, make sure you make them laugh or they will kill you!" Howard was a real life view of this crazy life through the eyes of a cigar smoking, %^&* talking duck!! I LOVE THAT DUCK!

Plus he was making it with human chicks!!! THAT FOWL IS THE MAN!

[runawayboulder]

Another cool character that Marvel has seemingly forgotten about.

 

[Anubis]

Eh, walking plot device.

 

[Spider-Aziz]

I can teach him how to use the toilet

 

[BLACKVULCAN]

that guy sucks ( which is kinda wild withhim being a comic book character and all!)
that dude like Anubis said was only aplot device so that this

could come into play!
i hate that freaking costume was ever made (back then i thought it was the collest %^& ever!)because he was the cause of it( which is funny cause it wasnt him, being he's a comic book character!) he will always SUCK!
