Marvel Comics General

Marvel actually has addressed Brexit. Captain Britain in an issue of Avengers actually needed to prevent the Avengers from making Brexit jokes, showing how he doesn't approve.

HULK ANGRY AT BEING USING FOR PROP OF SHORT-SIGHTED XENOPHOBIC AGENDA!

Speaking of Captain Britain and UK's current political situation, Faiza Hussain should have been the new CB instead of Psylocke.

Imagine having a hijab wearing Muslim woman being the ultimate British hero. Ewing had already showed her being CB in two alternate realities, had he been involved with this new X-Men status quo I bet he would have made Faiza the new CB.

I'm surprised Psylocke would even want to be Captain Britain again.

Didn't she get her eyes literally ripped out and replaced by robotic ones (by Mojo) the last time she tried taking her brother's place.

...speaking of Brian, where is he? I know he's not around due the lack of being a mutant, but why is he not serving as Captain Britain this time around?

He and Meggan have a baby now, so they are probably taking care of him, but he's still Captain Britain. There will be just multiple Captain Britains (Captains Britain?). And personally, I'm glad Betsy is Captain Britain, so Kwannon can become the new Psylocke. I am eagerly anticipating Bryan Hill's Fallen Angels comic.

Making Kwannon into the new Psylocke seems like such an obvious idea in hindsight.

Well her body was already Psylocke, its just now her minds in it too.

And it means that people can still portray Psylocke as Asian without causing any confusion. Well, further confusion.

One idea I once saw suggested for the MCU was to have Kwannon be Betsy's mother as a way to keep both characters without erasing an original woc. It doesn't seem like a bad idea.

I just thought if the MCU gets around it, that Psylocke would be Captain Britain’s adopted Asain sister.

Kwannon becoming the new Psylocke is such a great idea, I’m surprised they’re not getting into it.

Actually yeah that is a good way of going bout it.

Considering even though its not her own look, its still Betsy's most iconic look used in any adaptation she appears in.

So logically the only thing you can do is make her Asian.

Moon Knight to team up with Conan and other Robert. E. Howard characters:

Wow. Two things:

1. Someone actually remembered Dark Agnes, despite the fact that she only appears in three Robert E. Howard stories, the third one not even completed by Howard. (I would love it if they actually adapted her stories in comic book form and then did more of them, like with Conan.)
2. Moon Knight looks hilariously out of place.

Yeah throwing in a marvel hero when your making a book that’s essentially celebrating R.E.H is odd to say the least. Still I’m always happy for more Moon Knight and I’ve heard Zub is a good writer so I’m looking forward to it.

It would be interesting in they used Red Sonya, who was the basis for Red Sonja.

Have we ever seen Sleepwalker since his debut?

Yes. He actually played a big part of the Infinity Warps story that was a part of Infinity Wars.

I think Red Sonja is with Dynamite now, though they did do a modern crossover with Spider-Man... over a decade ago. Dunno about Red Sonya.

I googled Red Sonya but I just keep finding the Red Sonja with a J.

This should be what you’re looking for.

Thanks.

How was Betty being Red She-Hulk received at the time? I wasn't interacting with the fandom during that development.

I remember people being more okay with it than Ross as Red Hulk.

Really? Was Ross as Red Hulk a problem for fans at the time?

Oh god yes. Everyone hated Red Hulk.

The entries for him should still be up on the site, actually.

To be fair, that's more due to how Red Hulk was introduced.

Going around kicking everyone's ass like a complete Mary Sue.

Recall it was written by Jeph Loeb as well.
