Will Sharon Carter's child inherit Steve's super powers?

[Compi716]

Also, how come comic book characters love to have kids out of wedlock? Is it because it's the "thing to do" these days?


Freakin' Brangelina...

Dude, I don't know about "the thing to do," but having kids out of wedlock has been the thing being done for just about forever. It's not exactly new.

I'm not sure what you're saying Eli is an example of. He was a totally normal kid until he got the blood transfusion from Isaiah. He's the son of Isaiah and Faith's daughter Sarah, who was conceived before Isaiah entered Project: Rebirth.

Fair enough. It still remains to be seen if anyone who got Eli's grandfather's blood would have become super-soldiers, or it only happened because he was part of the family line (had Bradly DNA).

And yeah, babies out of wedlock have been drama sources since stories have been told (how many "out of wedlock" babies exist in ancient myth? Hundreds?). It should be said that in the Golden Age, comics where usually pushing for superheroes to marry before siring children in "imaginary" stories (or at least Superman), but then the Silver Age, and more specifically, the sexual revolution and comics became much less conservative. Back in the Golden Age, an "out of wedlock" child was a major taboo (as was divorce). That all changed by the 60's-70's. I mean, it took HOW long for TV to show a married couple sharing a bed?

That said, I don't think Brubaker could be any more explicit about who Sharon's baby's father is without inserting a sex scene and stating "AND STEVE'S SUPER-SPERM JOINED WITH HER EGG" in a caption.

What's the deal with comic book women being pregnant without really knowing who the father is?

Its the Jerry Spinger effect, Whos the Baby Daddy?

Gonna get them to take a lie detector soon

 

[Harlekin]

Why doesn't Sharon know if Steve's the father? Is she that much of a ho?

They had sex in an issue of Cap; somewhere in the mid-teens, after Sharon's previous boyfriend got killed. And again during Civil War. It is DEFINITELY Steve's Baby.

Exactly, that is why I said that Brubaker really couldn't make it more explicit without a sex-scene panel and a spoon-feeding caption, which thankfully isn't his style.

when Bru's run started she was dating a generic SHIELD agent. After that Agent was killed in an attack, Sharon fell back into seeing Steve. Steve and Sharon had been on the outs with each other before Brubaker's run, and were an estranged former couple.

 

[Anubis]

Probably end up being the dead guys kid.

Ah, okay. Well, just do the math for it then.

 

[Pluto]

Wow.

 

[Pluto]

I love the wedlock question. LOL!!!! It's like a comic soap you know!

 

[Compi716]

I know, right? If she needs to know who the father is, all she needs to do is count some months.

Steve's kid should be a milksop, like he was.

























milksop?
