The New Improved Official Stupid Question Thread Marvel Edition

[TheCorpulent1]

There was a draft in the US for WWII, so service wasn't really optional.

 

[Franklin Richards]

I think he was a radio operator.

 

[Harlekin]

He became a badass Indiana Jones type adventurer shortly afterwards, right?

 

[Franklin Richards]

Yep. He and his girlfriend.

 

[Jordacar]

Well idk about you but i like to actually watch something and form an opinion about it myself as opposed to having someone make it for me.

Yeah, yur right. I just couldn't resist taking another dig at my used-to-be fav show.

 

[Vort]

Ok, here's one from me.

Does anyone here read Ms.Marvel? I just picked up the latest comic and liked it, but I'm confused as hell about what's going on there.

There are multiple Carol Danvers? But one of them doesn't know it?

 

[sdc10]

Because Rogers, Bucky, and US Agent (whom i hate), who and how many people have taken up the mantle of cap america? i thought i read somewhere of there being multiple caps but im not sure if they were just what if stories. I couldve sworn i read about a black cap america once.

 

[Jordacar]

I read it. I'll admit it's pretty complicated right now, and not everything has been revealed yet. Carol Danvers apparently died a few issues ago, then there were these energy beings that combined into Carol again, then there's the random civilian in LA who's identical to Carol, and there's some crazy cosmic entities called "the storytellers" who are pulling the strings on the whole thing. Maybe they were intro'd earlier in the run, I'm not sure.

Anyway, I have no idea how this could affect things in the long run, but there's only one issue left in this wacky arc, so I'll be getting that.

 

[Colossal Spoons]

Dum Dum Dugan, isn't he supposed to be a fat man? I'm ready Secret Warriors and the dude is kinda in shape

 

[Anubis]

He's been in shape throughout the entirety of the 00's. No particular reason given.

I only like US Agent when his being a homicidal super right wing jackass. I got a comic where US Agents two sidekicks revealed his identity and got his parents killed. He then caught them and let them burn alive.

There was a black captain america Isaiah Bradley his grandson is patriot in Young Avengers.

Welcomer to my world.

Here is what I think is going on:

Carol Danvers was dying as a result (My opinion) of the dissimilar procedures she had gone thru over the years.

By my count -
she was first tweaked on a molecular level by a machine that took her subconcious wish to be as powerful as Captain Marvel.

Then she had these powers stripped away from her by Rogue.

Then she was kidnapped by aliens who were facinated by her depowered human Augmented by kree science self,.. and they started mucking with her,.. evolving and de-evolving her until when she got away from them, She had had her DNA set at "Perfect" Human. This gave her the Energy Manipulation powers of "Binary" - Where she had access thru some sort of Dimensional shunt to a "White Hole".

After a long stay in Space, (Binary apparently didn't need air and had FTL capability.), She lost access to the white hole and returned to Earth.

Without the white hole powering her she now had powers that were somewhere between her original powers and Binary.

(Ignoring her other dimnensional travels, having a kid and being brainwashed.)

Somewhere thru all this she picked up a passenger/symbiont that made wolverines Healing factor seem like that of a homofiliac in comparison where things that would've killed her as Ms Marvel or Binary were only an inconvience.

The symbiont admitted that it had been tweaking and keeping her healthy.

When it was removed the process made her unstable and in a state where using her powers was extremely painful and killing her. At one point while using her powers she went critical and exploded.

Some time later - apparently - everything that was Carol started to reintergrate itself first as multiple energy beings that came together and currently at least three physical bodies who's powers increase in direct proportion to how close they are to each other.


So,.. yes,.. I share your confusion.

[MarvelWarrior]

Why does Namor shout Imperious Rex?
Why is the Surfer back with Galactus?

 

[Vort]

Thanks for the replies guys/gals.

I think I'll continue to pick up the mag for awhile. I reallly like Ms.Marvel and the art really caught my eye. Just looks like it was a very bad place to pick up the comic without confussion for the reader.

 

[JewishHobbit]

Why is the Surfer back with Galactus?

He made a deal to be back with Galactus if Galactus would help stop Annihilus's Wave (because the Galaxy really needed his help at that point!).

This took place in the Annihilation: Silver Surfer 4 issue mini, and continued in the 6 issue Annihilation mini... and he's been there ever since, guest starting in various books (FF, Nova, Son of Hulk).

He's been in shape throughout the entirety of the 00's. No particular reason given.

He started out as a circus strongman, so he probably just lost the extra pounds he put on from sitting behind a SHIELD desk. I've never really thought of him as fat, personally. He always just seemed stocky, like most really strong dudes--really dense muscle under layers of fat because they're more interested in lifting obscenely heavy s*** than looking good, so they don't worry about toning or losing their excess fat.

 

[sdc10]

Are the New Mutants now considered like another field team of the x-men?

 

[Manic]

Pretty much, yeah. Cannonball was appointed a team leader by Cyclops, so Sam assembled his old classmates as his team.

 

[Havok83]

Are the New Mutants now considered like another field team of the x-men?

Yes. They are actually the only official X-men squad outside of the Astonishing cast

 

[TheDarkKnight08]

Can someone give me a slight crash course on the recne events in the Thor series? I just picked up Thor #602 but I have no idea what's going on? I really wanna get into the series, but I'd like to know what it is I'm reading.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Ragnarok hit, it was revealed that the Asgardians' lives were merely playthings to ancient, even more powerful beings, and all the gods died at the end of Thor's previous series. Don Blake magically appeared on Earth afterward. Mjolnir crashed through the dimensions to land on Earth shortly after that, and Blake made his way to it. Upon touching it, he was transported to the void where Thor's spirit rested after Ragnarok. He convinces Thor to return to the land of the living and bring the Asgardians back so that they can live free of those ancient beings' influence for the first time.

Thor, now sharing a life with Don Blake, who sets up shop as the resident doctor for Broxton, Oklahoma, first recreates the city of Asgard as a floating island hovering over a wide field in Oklahoma; his intent is to keep Asgard in this dimension, on Earth, so that the gods won't be so far removed from man (remember, Thor :heart:s us humans). He then proceeds to restore his fellow Asgardians to life, unfortunately including Loki and all the evil beings of Asgard, who are now roaming various areas on Earth. Loki has also pulled some magical strings to ensure that he was reborn in Sif's body while Sif's spirit was trapped in the form of a dying old woman.

Loki reveals to Balder that Balder is also a son of Odin and thus Thor's half-brother and fellow prince of Asgard. Thor confirms it and he and Balder reveal Balder's royal lineage to their fellow Asgardians.

Thor continues flying off to deal with stuff around Earth while the Asgardians grow stir-crazy in their new, smaller home on Earth. A human who lives in Broxton named Bill meets and falls in love with Kelda, a goddess of Asgard. She falls in love with him as well.

Loki orchestrates events using time travel to bring Bor, Thor's grandfather, to the present, and casts a spell to make Bor think he's surrounded by evil. He tears through New York until Thor arrives to stop him. After a long and grueling battle, Thor kills Bor and shatters Mjolnir in the process. Because Bor is a member of the royal house and killing them is prohibited by Asgardian law, Loki calls on Prince Balder to exile Thor from Asgard. He does so. The Warriors Three voluntarily exile themselves as well and follow Thor to Earth. Loki suggests that the Asgardians abandon the city that Thor created for them and move to Latveria. The Asgardians like this idea because Latveria is cold and harsh and much closer to their old home in the dimension called Asgard than Oklahoma is. Balder, a new, untested leader with a very volatile group of subjects, feels he has no choice but to agree, even though he knows Dr. Doom, Latveria's monarch, is trouble. Bill goes with the Asgardians out of love for Kelda.

On Earth, Loki reveals to Don Blake that Sif is still trapped in the old woman's body. He plays it as a mistake and gives up Sif's body. Thor visits Dr. Strange for help in magically re-forging Mjolnir, which Strange does with the help of the last bit of the Odinforce that Thor possessed (he inherited it from Odin after Odin died fighting Surtur back in Thor's previous series). Thor frees Sif's spirit and returns with her to Oklahoma.

Bill sees that Balder is troubled with the situation the Asgardians are now in and shares his sentiments, since he also knows Dr. Doom is no good from all the news reports and such of his villainy. He decides to help Balder out by digging up dirt on Doom that Balder can use against him. He stumbles onto Loki offering Doom his fellow Asgardians as test subjects for Doom's experiments concerning immortality. Loki spots him and dispatches 3 Asgardian soldiers to kill him (Loki's royalty too, remember). Bill fights hard but he's no match for them. Balder shows up just as one of the soldiers stabs Bill pretty badly.

That's about all we know right now.

 

[Calavera]

Thanks so much, and since I'm not the wisest person when it comes to Thor, I still have one more question: Thor and Blake are one in the same, and he can turn into the other, right?
