How is Ultimate Reed Richards going? Last time i read he was captures, is he free and being badass again?
 
Why does Citizen V wear the American Flag when his roots are British?
John Watkins was a British lieutenant during World War II. Seeing himself as simply one man but typical in his hatred of the Axis powers, Watkins fashioned a costumed identity of Citizen V, the V standing for Victory. He also organized and led a group of civilians against Nazi forces in Europe, calling them the V-Battalion.
Why doesn't he wear the British Flag? Be like Union Jack or Captain Britain?

That's a picture of Baron Zemo's Citizen V costume. It was part of some plan or something he had.

John Watkins looked like this:

I think the original version that you're talking about wore a totally different costume.
 
Yeah, I know. Zemo and his Thunderbolts were tricking people. He used Red/White/Blue to be like Capitan America and gain trust. But once everyone found out and once other people became Citizen V, including a guy who knew the original, why didn't they change the costume to represent Britain? Or was he and I am just unaware?
 
When does Peter graduate from University?
 
Are there any good Squadron Supreme trades out there?
 
The Squadron Supreme trade.

Be careful, it might not have aged well.

Also that dust up they had with the Avengers during Busiek's run, which you should read in it's entirety in the Avengers Assemble Trades.

As far as Citizen V, the reason for the U.S. Flag is because Citizen V was an obscure hero from the 40's that nobody knew anything about until Buesik plucked him from obscurity for Thunderbolts....therefore every incarnation after that one wore the T-Bolts motiff cuz, well, you saw the original. Sure, maybe when the original CV's great grandson took over, he shoulda used the Union Jack, but eh. Everybody else was just ripping of Helmut.
 
Peter Parker? Isnt he dead? Is Otto going to school for him?
 
Otto's mind was transferred into Peter's body and shares his memories. Peter ended up in Ock's broken down body and "died". Otto is doing a bunch of things for him, getting a doctorate, getting him black listed from the Avengers, blackmailing JJJ, building an army on the Raft that just took out Shadowland....
 
So, Peter Parker is in University since the 60s? Because he graduated from high school in Amazing Spider-Man 28 and met Gwen Stacy in the University
 
Really? How old is he right now?

Sounds to me like Otto knows how to get stuff done. Maybe Peter can stay dead a little while longer.
 
I always thought the implied reason that Peter never finished his degree is because getting a doctorate in chemistry is really expensive and Peter has always been pretty poor.
 
He had a wife-- sorry, live-in girlfriend making decent money, plus he could've supplemented his own income by asking someone like Reed Richards to hire him as a lab assistant-- you know, when a civil war isn't brewing between superheroes.

Since Parker is a genius, couldn't he have found some grants or scholarships? :huh:
 
Did Ragnarok happen already? And i don't mean the thor clone, i mean the event that's foreshadowed in early Jack Kirby's storylines and in the norse mythology

It's what ended the Thor series for a couple years back in 2004, around the time of Avengers: Disassembled. Thor (Volume 3) no. 80-85, I think.
 
It was a fantastic story, too. The first time Thor ever caught my attention.

There's been several reasons over the years.....laziness, loss of focus, no money, busy with his Webs book tour. It all usually came down to being Spidey taking up all his time.

They pay you to get your doctorate so it'd actually be a means of income. But like Runaway said, it's usually time constraints due to having to save NYC every 6 mins

I've got a question though. How is Carnage alive? I thought Sentry ripped him in half :huh:
