The Official Stupid Question Thread: Marvel Edition - Part 2

[TheCorpulent1]

I believe you're talking about the lady that came in with Kid Gladiator? She's named Warbird, not Deathbird.

Was it? My bad.

 

[Specter313]

Don't worry, I did a little doubletake at first with her as well, but she's definitely someone new.

 

[Anubis]

Why does she have Ms. Marvel's old name?

 

[Specter313]

She's not using it and Aaron wanted to use it for her?

 

[Anubis]

But then she just becomes Warbird II, and years from now when she's long dead in some half assed event, people will look back at some old group shot and be like, "who the f**k is that b***h?" And they'll be like," That's Warbird II. Then somebody would be like "Who was Warbird I?" Then they'd be like, "Ms. Marvel". "I thought she was always Ms Marvel?" "Well, she started off as Ms. Marvel, then changed her name to Binary when she got a bunch of weird energy powers, then she lost that power and became Warbird, then changed it back to Ms. Marvel, then changed it again to [Insert two other names she eventually goes by for whatever stupid inevitably asinine reason] only to change it back to Ms. Marvel."

"Well Gottdamn that was confusing. I think I"m gonna shoot you in the face for wasting my time with all that boos**t! " "What?! Noooooooo!!!!!!" BANG! End scene

So you see, by doing so, Aaron is causing a fanboy murder down the road all because he couldn't come up with another word to place in front Bird that wasn't already effin' used.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

How about we just forget Ms. Marvel was ever Warbird and call this new Warbird the first and only Warbird ever? It's kind of a stupid name for Carol, but it makes perfect sense for a Shi'ar.

 

[Anubis]

Boos**t!

Besides, I can think of a ton of Shi'ar names he coulda used.

Bloodbird
Hellbird
angrybird
bigf**kingbird
dirtybird

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Marvel needs to create a character called Angrybird. Corner the market on social commentary that will be dated almost immediately!

 

[Franklin Richards]

 

[TheCorpulent1]

She was only ever good as She-Thing.

 

[Anubis]

I called her She-THANG

 

[TheCorpulent1]

I called her "the Thing with a wifebeater."

Seriously, though, I didn't know she was supposed to be a woman for like years. I thought her boobs were just the artist making the Thing slightly lumpier than usual.

 

[Havok83]

The IRRELEVANT Ms. Marvel.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Carol wasn't all that relevant for a lot of years either, so...

 

[Shazam]

I just read this issue.

The extra info about Bucky's Winter Soldier days was great.

However, one flashback was to 1958....
and Natasha was there?? How?? How is she not as old as Bucky's sister?? And was The Black Widow not Raven haired at first?

Does she inject with the Infinity formula or something?

 

[KangConquers]

According to the Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe, Black Widow was born circa 1939, and uses a variant of the infinity formula to prolong her life and stay youthful.

I haven't seen the issue yet, but Bucky Barnes was born in 1925, and is thus about 14 years older than Natasha. We can only assume that Bucky's sister was born in the 20s as well, and thus is at least 10 years older than Natasha.

I see. Either way both of them should be in a nursing home if not for "other means".

I didn't know the Widow was shooting up that stuff. I thought only Fury used it.

What big Marvel event stories have happened after Siege? On amazon they have Fear Itself up for preorder. I was wondering if there were any major stories I might have missed that happened between these two.

 

[Anubis]

I don't know....Schism? That X-Men thing?
