Other women wore it well, but she OWNED the leather cat suit. Also her in her Hellfire Club outfit inspired John Byrne’s artwork on X-Men twenty years later. Rest in Light.

Going back to the original post, I don’t think we’re supposed to rearrange letters.

My first impulsive post was not obscene but possibly in poor taste.

I thought of something last night...when was the last time you heard of somebody having a cold? Nobody in my family’s had one all summer.

Cap’s strength is a variable thing in his history. Some writer will creep it up to superhuman levels until another writer takes over and puts it to a level they think appropriate. Spidey’s strength on the other hand is pretty consistent over his entire run. That’s why I was looking for the board to give me a nice non-partisan view about movie Cap’s stats.

I love this thread. A long while back, I was going to try running a play by e-mail game set in the MCU. I kept asking if anybody could give me a decent set of stats for Cap. I kept getting told the old “He’s only a strong human” line.which may be true for SOME runs of the comic but weren’t even close to what he could do in the movies. Look at his getting onboard the boat in the beginning of Winter Soldier. Jump out of an aircraft when other Spec War troops used parachutes, swim to the boat, climb the anchor chain (approx. 3 stories) then beat up 8-10 terrorists in under a minute. Then start the mission. “Just human” yeah right. 40 str. 8 spd. Sounds about right to me.

Since her powers seem all offense/no defense like say, Cyclops or Black Canary. You may want to go with a costume with some armor to it. Even if it’s only racing motorcycle leathers toughness.

You might want to check out the artwork of Phil Cho on YouTube. He’s been doing character studies for an alternate universe called Earth-27. It’s mostly DC but includes Marvel and characters from Ghostbusters Supernatural and Scooby-Doo. It may spring loose a few ideas. Good luck. P.S. He just made Captain Planet & The Planeteers look cool.

Oops. Either way Renner is committed for something other than the films. Not that they can’t change things at the drop of a hat, but I hate to think of the co-stars, crew, etc. who could lose their jobs if they cancel the series before it even starts.

That’s actually the plot line for the new Hawkeye TV show for Netflicks. Clint trains a young woman named Kate Bishop to be the next Hawkeye. She is the second Hawkeye in the Marvel comics universe This series will be based on the current comic.

“I’m not stupid, I’m not expendable and I’M. NOT. GOING!!!”

The same way Iron Man has a fusion generator in his chest and Superman flies. Magic superhero physics. Realism is wonderful and useful when understanding the difficulties of doing a particular thing or dealing out consequences of actions but somethings just can’t be done any other way in this genre. Pick your battles.

I don’t think Thor would work either, that’s why I didn’t suggest him. Again, I would suggest Anthony Mackie as the new Captain America to lead the teams. I also believe Marvel may have to bite the bullet and re-cast T’Challa. No matter who gets chosen for which roles, these poor guys are going to get eaten alive and crapped of a cliff by the press and the fans. But the dump trucks full of money they’ll get will soften their landing.

This isn’t a shot at you but....Why not? Isn’t Marvel’s current Capt. Britain a Muslim woman? A love of country and the morals to be a hero aren’t or at least shouldn’t be based on race. Besides Great Britain outlawed slavery long before the U.S. and we have no claim to be free of racism. My only point with the character is that I believe they have Aslan misspelled. At least according to C.S. Lewis. edit; 2 hours later After checking the Marvel Database I find that I am incorrect about the existence of a female, Muslim Capt. Britain.

For the science fiction, space based movies, GotG, Eternals, etc. sure. But she’s not an Earth based character. She’s not someone to lead the Avengers and provide a thru thread for the movies set here like Iron Man, Cap or Nick Fury were.

I’m willing to be the bad guy here, Ms.Wright may be a wonderful actress and I really liked the character of Shuri, but she’s not going to fill those shoes. People keep saying that In the comics Shuri was the Black Panther for a while....but it wasn’t a long while. It was a plot point. T’Challa very quickly went back to being the Panther. Nobody ever assumed that that was going to be the way things were going to stay. Next, the Marvel movies need a figurehead for the franchise. They were pretty obviously grooming CB as BP for the job. RDJ and Chris Evans did the job so far and before I get accused of saying that a woman couldn’t do the job, Scarlett Johansson as the Black Widow could possibly have done very well. But none of their characters are available. For something like this you need both a leading character that makes an impact along with a performer with charisma. The young man who plays Spider-Man can’t do it either. He’s just too young, and his character isn’t one who inspires the troops, just like Ms. Wright. For my bet the front money is on Anthony Mackie as Sam Wilson. Once the Falcon now a man trying to live up to mantle of being Captain America. This is a “hero’s journey” story.

Forget college, the boy needs to repeat kindergarten.

Well, VTOL capability is pretty standard for superhero aircraft. Besides, I’ve seen Walmart parking lots that you could use to land small planes.

I just had the image of a Quinjet sitting in a parking lot across from some superhero battle with a Handicapped parking tag hanging from the rear view mirror.

It depends on how it used and who has ultimate control, the player or the GM. A wonderful sword that cuts like a lightsaber.....the player. A wonderful sword that cuts like a lightsaber AND eats part of the welders soul for every kill....the GM. Its all about whether the item is intended by the GM to be just another pice of equipment (all be it a really good piece) or as a plot device. Basically forget the Greeks, “Beware GM’s bearing gifts.” Or the modern version “Here kid, the first hit’s free.”

There is no goal. This is the geek equivalent of a bunch of guys holding beers standing around a barbecue and saying things like “Ya’ know, you should stack those coals in a pyramid to get ‘em to light faster.” and “You don’t wanna make those burgers too thick or else their gonna come out raw.” to the one person whose actually doing the work. Just a summertime analogy.

A story problem is that in BP the “heart shaped herb” was destroyed with the last sample being used by T’Challa. If you kill off or retire the character then you have no Black Panther.

On top of everything else, Marvel lost a lot of their major players when their contracts ended. They killed off Stark & the Widow. De-hulked Banner and turned Cap into the all-american geezer. They better hope Helmsworth and Cumberbach don’t get cute at renegotiating time and that Eternals can grow some leading characters to star in the next batch of films. I know they’ve got the Guardians of the Galaxy people but none of those characters can reasonably carry a story set on Earth.

Wow, he seemed like a nice guy and he was funny as hell on Saturday Night Live. Cancer sucks. Business wise, I wonder what Marvel’s going to do? He so nailed the character in at least three movies I for one can’t imagine anybody else taking the role, but BP was a big moneymaker and a sequel is already in the pipeline

As to points 1&2, if you have a really good cloaking device, other countries won’t know you’re there or what weapons you have. So bwah-ha 😜 on them! As to the questions about Batman ‘66, the Batcave was powered by the enormous Bat-Diamond. (Don’t ask me how.) The real problem would be the Batmobile. Remember Robin always saying “Atomic Batteries to power.” Turbines to speed.” Then Batman says “Let’s move out.” After of course buckling their seatbelts. Safety first you know. And to your final point when the vehicle’s Artificial Intelligence fires the wave motion gun mounted on the roof and vaporizes lovely Rita Meter Maid. No ticket, no trouble.
