    The best part of 52... quickly dropped and left while dull things happened elsewhere :(

    Don't forget the female descendant of Wolverine, Rancor, from Guardians of the Galaxy (1990's).

    I'd say it was more of a logical outgrowth of the MC2 universe. Since many of the characters are decendants of mainline Marvel characters, it only makes sense that they get similar powers.
    Nevermind the copycats. What amuses me is how many of them are VILLAINS compared to the heroes. :D

    Rucka played with it again the 5 Lessons of Blood miniseries, and odds are we'll see more in his Final Crisis tie-in mini that I can't remember the name of. I know he has a lot of plans for the two characters, he just hasn't gotten around to writing most of them yet.

    Yeah, this is exactly what I was afraid of, splattering it about in random titles/spinoffs instead of having it somewhere where I can just have at it monthly/bi-anually/whatever. I'll have to sniff out some trades.

    Honestly I thought their dynamic, their story, was incredibly rich and full of potential and they carried 52 in every issue they were in.

    I'd like to see them get their own ongoing and really explore the dynamic.

    :confused:  Why should it be closed? is anybody flaming each other? so far so good the discussions have been rather sensible & informative imo.

    For someone like me who have stopped reading both Marvel & DC for a year, some of the info that i've read here is quite surprising & interesting. makes me want to pick up some of the trades. btw Ed Brubaker's run on Cap is one the best :rock . (one of the last few comics that i've read before i stopped reading em')

    Well that's over three years of story compressed into a paragraph. It's going to sound weird. Imagine trying to explain the plot of Avatar in a paragraph, it'd sound wonky too.

    ANd because it hasnt been mentioned yet, let's not forget DC's Earth-11, which is an entire universe of gender swapped heroes. :)  I'm sure there's an equivalent Marvel universe somewhere out there too.

    Indeed, hence why it's open, not that there was a hell of a lot of discussion to begin with.

    I would like to add female Ultron to the mix though. Hubba hubba.

    I never really got the whole female Ultron thing. Was there actually a point to that other than giving Frank Cho another opportunity to draw boobs?

    The only part that matters is that Frank Cho got to draw boobs. I can't say I'm sorry.

    Just because you create the thread doesn't mean you have the right to choose when it closes or stays open.

    Otherwise, we'd give you guys that ability! lolololololpants
