This being a visual medium, folks really do get exceptionally hung up on similar aesthetics, don't they? How many folks are running round with the same moniker or powerset or color scheme?
Its FINE. The rules have changes. There is no longer a ONE THOR (for example) to Rule them All! Hullooo all you Spider People-- yes I'm looking at you.
These boys have different origins. They have different histories with heroes. They have different VOICES. Different abilities.
Eli's got that super soldier blood transfusion -- which always felt super down played to me, but whaddyagunnadoo?
Rayshaun has..... uh... DOES Rayshaun have powers? Or is it more that he has the USA glider gizmo?
What they DO have in common is that they are young, black, males with a stars N' stripes motif and apparently have been afforded the same code name. THAT particular detail is the most troubling. I'd love to hear Eli's reaction to that too, since I imagine he'd be rather miffed. His title and style given to another young BLACK male, specifically? Like, they're just interchangeable so who cares? No sir no sir.
For real though, can anyone give me the 411 on Rayshaun's powers or lack thereof?
This.
I too would very much like to have Anya aboard, and I TOO am skowering the interwebs on the REG for any and all links, clues, pepperings, prints, whatever some such crumbs of info that might give insight into their future.
