I wonder if artists even bother to reference a characters actual height anymore ?
I feel a disclaimer is unecessary but I understand why he'd include one. To warn people up front not to necessarily expect their favorite character.
But I feel that it should be common knowledge that most mutants won't get major roles in an event or series.. there's just too many good characters out there. As bendis once said... there are tumblr fan pages for every mutant in existence, basically.
Your favorite superhero- the one you visit these forums to talk about. Would they talk to others the way you do on this message board?
