when was it published that Steve R. was'nt the first captain america?

Yeah, but it doesn't mean they can't extract the hormones from them.

So I can expect him to be all femme from now on?





Also, the MGH from the Daredevil arc "Underboss" was cultivated from The Owl's petuitary glands. So, I don't think being born superhuman is necessairy for taking MGH from someone's hormones.

Owlsley is a mutant, I thought... how come he can spin his head 180 degrees? What is it with Daredevil villains and MGH? When's Madcap getting in on this action?

No. Growth hormone and testosterone are different.

Owlsly's not a mutant. He got his powers from a combination of surgury and drug therapy.

Ok, so basically we're in agreement that MGH is not really MGH, then? That's kind of annoying.

Ah, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Owl_(comics)

wikipedia says his gliding comes from mutation.
Maybe Hyde is the exception, not the rule, though.

Well, I'm guessing the peramiters for it are that it's growth hormone from a mutated human who's mutation re****ed in superhuman abilities. Weather they're born with the mutation or not doesn't seem to matter.

Spider-Man's powers are a mutation. Just not in the way that the X-Men are mutants (I/E: born with it). And The Owl is not a mutant in that sense. He got his powers from prolonged use of a mutanagenic drug of his invention.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Still lame. The word "mutant" has had a specific connotation in the Marvel universe since the '60s.

 

[The Question]

I suppose. Then again, the average joe on the street in the MU considers most superhumans to be mutants. I mean, alot of people call Spider-Man a mutant. And the dealer in underboss even comented to his client "they're all mutants." Not factual in the sense of mutants being born with their mutation, but that is the opinion of the common man.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Not from what I've seen. Spider-Man gets lumped in with the mutants because no one likes him. The "common man" would probably punch you if you suggested that Captain America or any other beloved superhero was a mutant.

 

[The Question]

Fair point. The more popular ones usually avoid that labeling. But most of the less camera friendly types would probably be considered mutants by most. And hey, some may consider them all to be mutants including Cap and the FF. I mean, not everyone hates mutants.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

But the FF's origin is public knowledge, isn't it? They weren't born different, they were made different by a space mission gone wrong. Granted, conspiracy theorists might just chalk that up to "the man" telling people what they want to hear. I guess we can just safely assume that whoever named MGH believed all of the superhumans were mutants.

 

[The Question]

Yeah. Which, by the definition of the word "mutant" as it origionally apeared in the dictionary, is technically true. Unless they're cyborgs. Or aliens. Or are on drugs that don't alter the DNA.
