The New Man Without Fear

[TheCorpulent1]

Marvel's putting out promos asking "who will be the new Man Without Fear?" Presumably, this is related to Shadowland. First up is Nova:

 

[TheCorpulent1]

I don't know about anyone else, but I certainly hope Nova is just a red herring. He's a cosmic powerhouse and he's got a new Nova Corps to look after. I don't want to see him start slumming in Hell's Kitchen.

That would be a very odd step backwards....

 

[C. Lee]

What happened to DareDevil?

What happened to DareDevil?

There's a rumour that he's becoming Robin, because the Shadowland event will question is he worthy of the Man withouth Fear title or something wacky like that...

 

[runawayboulder]

Don't know yet. So far in Shadowland they've revealed that something is possessing him. He could either get killed off (which I highly doubt) or quit being DD for a while.

There's all sorts of rumors going around that he may become Ronin soon. Have to read Shadowland and see.

 

[runawayboulder]

Damn you fast typists. That's the second time on a week this happened to me.

 

[Dread]

Yeah, Nova's obviously a red herring. He's had nothing to do with Shadowland aside for technically being on the same team as Moon Knight (and I say technically because he has spent his entire tenure on said team being brainwashed). It would be a giant step backwards, but I don't see it as being a serious contender.

Thank you, I appreciate the answer.

Maybe it's a Green Lantern reference. You know, they're recruited for their fearlessness, they've got a corps... Nova's got a corps...

I got nothin'.

 

[Tron Bonne]

Well, if it's him...I guess it's appropriate..since I would assume Nova would not have much fear fighting thugs in Hell's Kitchen

 

[Dread]

Nova would have no fear in Hell's Kitchen because unless Kingpin was zapped by Gamma Rays, no one would be a challenge.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Well, given the recent spat of "Hulked-out heroes," I wouldn't be surprised if that happened.

Yeah, I was thinking the same thing. Call it the Incredible Bulk.

"IT'S ALL MUSCLE! I KEEP TELLING YOU PEOPLE! RRAAGGHHH!"

 

[Scourge2099]

This would be a GIANT step backward for Nova. He goes from saving the universe on multiple occasions to defending Hells Kitchen.

I think saving the universe is easier.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

The people probably appreciate it more.

 

[Wolfwood]

I think it'd be kind of amusing to see Nova dick around Hell's Kitchen for a day.

There's a new teaser of Gambit being a contender, I'd be down for that. The man needs some interesting work.

 

[Dread]

I've also heard rumors that Black Panther and Kraven the Hunter are in the running from SDCC.

My money's on Black Panther. DOOMWAR is ending and he's due a relaunch eventually.

 

[Scourge2099]

I think it would be hilarious when Nova starts arguing with Worldmind and the criminals are standing there wondering if he's insane.

[Raiden]

I think Black Panther or Moon Knight would be good and even appropriate to be called the new Man Without Fear, although we all know that DD will come back to reclaim this title in the near future.

 

[Dread]

I can imagine Nova (or the Nova Corps) getting a relaunch, but I doubt it'll be as THE MAN WITHOUT FEAR. Gambit is interesting but I still think it's a red herring. He's been unable to sell his own title for at least 4-5 years now. Even if he has had his own ongoing for stretches of time, and his last ran for about two years.

Gambit needs someone in his title to make his comics be more interesting, like Hawkeye plus Mockingbird. If he's still with Rogue I think they should team-up and have some of the old romance thing going again.

Maybe it'll become "The Men Without Fear" and it'll be about a group of them.
