Makes sense in light of that element in the 90's animated series that I assume came from the comics. In there, J.J. hates Spider-Man because he associates him with masked criminals who victimized his family. So, it would make sense that he'd be perfectly okay with mutants since they don't have secret identities. And I believe that take on J.J. was tied into the idea of him as a pro-civil rights/ social reformist journalist. Since mutants are a civil rights metaphor, no surprise he'd be on their side. [nja]

Yeah, though it begs the question as what are his views on the X-Men who are after a militant group of child soldiers does the same super hero bullshit as the Avengers.

I love how the guy who's constantly mocked as the guy who screams for more pictures of Spiderman and his sweet Spiderbutt is looking much, much better nowadays.

On the earlier comment about the comic industry dying: Comics was the only sector of the book market to see growth last year.

On JJJ and mutants: He doesn't particularly like mutants, but he does like civil rights, rule of law, all those things. So he'd oppose any program that violates the civil liberties of mutants.

[up] Jameson has always been pretty consistent too. He hates masked vigilantes. He's never traditionally had problems with the Avengers or Fantastic Four.

His hate boner for Spider-Man is just more intense than for the other masked heroes. Though it does make him being a fanboy for Silk pretty hypocritical.

[up] He just kind of inexplicably thought Silk was a hero in Silk's run. Though in this case, it was intentionally ironic since Cindy was being a mole in Black Cat's crime ring and going undercover as a villain at the time.

Though there was that he referred to a depowered/ex-mutant as "the best kind" or something like that.

I think it's the American comic model specifically that could be dying, not the comic industry worldwide.

Huh. Good to know JJ supporting mutant rights is canon. That's how I wrote him in my thing:

Again showing that JJ might be an asshole, but at least he has lines he would never cross.

Too bad those lines don't include funding the creation of super villains and then covering it up to stay out of prison.

So I finally started reading the new volume of All-New Ghost Rider & wow this is shit.

Why the fuck is Cho-Hulk, X-23 & Silk stealing spotlight from Robbie's own book? To start some new team or some shit? Couldn't give the poor guy the dignity of letting him stay alone for one arc?

Isn't this series also already cancelled? Well fuck Marvel you really blew this one & I really liked this version of Ghost Rider.

Does anyone think a good ending would be they forget to release Sally Floyd from her jail cell? [lol]

C'mon, man, its Secret Empire. Of course they will disappoint us and remember to free her at some point in the comic. Unless Moon Knight is there to make sure she stays. He won't make the same mistake twice in saving her.

Somehow Spencer will continue to treat it as a tragedy that she is locked up. However, everyone will be partying until the cow comes home since this hack is called out for her stupidity.

I'd be more happy if Steve took her place. Better yet, kill him off. He's been an asshole for a long time, and that was BEFORE turning into a nazi.

There is more to her than just that speech. This article demonstrates everything that is wrong with her character. Sally Floyd was willing to look away from Iron Man's questionable acts and applauded him for doing so. Also she whines about hiding in subways, when the other heroes are trying to keep her safe. All in all she is insufferable, shallow, and hypocritical.

[up][up] ....... Are you seriously saying that Captain America even before he became Captain Hydra deserves to die more than Sally Floyd?

Man is it weird seeing a defender of a truly despised character. No offense but you need to get your facts straight or something.
