State Your Opinion on a Marvel Character - Part 1

My only problem with Ultimate Pym is that people can't seem to separate his abuse of Jan from the 616 version's. The 616 version never did anything remotely as bad as the Ultimate one, yet people hear "wifebeater" and assume the 616 version must've been chasing Jan around with bug spray too. :facepalm:

Well, he DID do something as bad, it just had nothing to do with Jan besides the fact that she stopped him. Attacking your friends with a killer robot so you can save them and look like a hero is really bad.

Fully aware of that, but even an alternate Earth Reed should have the base personality of Reed Richards, so the crap with him being bullied annoys me.

How does him having been bullied at some point in his life mean he doesn't have the base personality of the original? That really doesn't make any sense.
 
Anyway, Ultimate Reed is okay, I guess. I mean, he's just normal Reed but younger and written boring-er. Nothing really that different about him.
 
Boy oh boy, tough pick for me. As is the same with other folks, never was particularly intrigued by Ultimate anything...and that's being kind about it.

So I guess by default I'll go with Jester, but that's not exactly a ringing endorsement for him either. I'm pretty 'ehhhh whateva!' on his MU presence...
 
It's not "who do you prefer?", we're just going through two characters at a time.

Lady Sif

Zarrko the Tomorrow Man
 
Wow... We hadn't done Sif yet?
 
As far as the list goes, didn't see her
If she was done before, my apologies
 
Oh, I wasn't saying we had... Just surprised that we hadn't had her mentioned after all this time.
 
Sif's cool.

So is Zarrko though the only thing I ever read of him was when he showed up during Jurgens run on Thor. Which was cool.
 
Very much like Sif...she has been prevalent in the Thor universe for as long as I've been reading, and I've never had any reason to dislike her, so yeah..like.


Zarrko? No opinion really, although the I remember the name..(kinda hard to forget actually)
 
I dig Sif. Did they ever explain why she's a brunette instead of blonde like the myths ?

I don't know much about Zarko. Is he just a knockoff of Kang ?
 
Dunno. Did they explain why Thor is fair headed instead of being a carrot top like the mythical Thor?
 
I dig Sif. Did they ever explain why she's a brunette instead of blonde like the myths ?

In the myths didn't Loki cut off her blonde hair out of spite? As for Thor, there's some explanations about why he's not a ginge arounds page 32 of the 'stupid questions' thread. Ragnarok, rebirths, people retelling myths wrong etc.
 
Sif oh so rocks! so freaking hard!! i have always dug her which was really hard since i really dug jane foster before, but she totally surpassed her!

Zarko is ok i guess. the coolest thing he ever did was the invention of "THE THOR CORPS!
 
and that unidentified sissy?
WHAT!!! DRAGO! Spider why you ....why I outta!hehe DRAGS was the jazz baby! I totally dug that outfit! The thor from the future was cool as hell I sure didn't buy the book because of thunderstrike! Hehe
 
WHAT!!! DRAGO! Spider why you ....why I outta!hehe DRAGS was the jazz baby!
Drago is his name? I remember seeing him a little and seeing him talk a little and get his arse handed to him
 
yeah he was named Drago.and
I remember seeing him a little and seeing him talk a little and get his arse handed to him
well what could you expect he was the basic "90's hipster i hate the establishment ,wont cut my hair", but without any substance character Spider.:cwink:
but he was good for a couple issues or 2 what i want to know is why is there a "future Thor" when Thor is a god!?!? thats what made me scratch my head!

His name was Dargo, actually. He took up Mjolnir in some alternate future. Never really gave a s*** about him, to be honest, so whatevs. The Farscape character was a much better dude named Dargo, as far as I'm concerned.

Sif's hair is brunette because the comics included the myth about Loki cutting off her hair but basically just made her new hair black for no real reason (probably because Kirby drew her that way initially and later writers just had to roll with it). She was naturally blond but Loki cut her hair off and the dwarves forged her new hair made of midnight or something flowery like that. Loki ended up hating it because Thor found Sif even lovelier with her exotic new black hair.

Sif is awesome incarnate. I'd really love to see her and Thor portrayed kind of like Johns is portraying Mera and Aquaman now. Badass warrior couple. Fraction's got them f***ing, at least, so that's a start. Oh, and I'd also like someone to remember that she has the innate power to teleport. That was cool. It's a real shame that the only Asgardian anyone remembers has innate divine powers is Thor. Sif's supposed to be able to teleport, Balder's supposed to be able to generate heat and light, one of the gods I can't remember at the moment is supposed to have super-speed, and there are some others with powers.

Zarrko is cool, but whoever called him a second-rate Kang pretty much got it right. There's no reason Kang couldn't be used in Zarrko's place in practically every one of Zarrko's appearances. Still, I like time travelers in general, so I'm cool with Zarrko. As Nubsatopia mentioned, Jurgens used Zarrko to excellent effect as an anti-hero in the King Thor Saga; being from the future, he knew the horrors Thor's reign would bring about for the human race, so he kept showing up in the lead-up to Thor losing his humanity trying to stop him. Looked like his typical villainous attacks, but he was actually trying desperately to save all of humanity, from his perspective.
 
I'd like to see Sif and Baldur used more in the Mainline Marvel U, Honestly both of them should be considered for Avengers....
