Thrash By Night Dwayne Taylor Appreciation 2019

[Huntsman Spider]

Maybe. Keep in mind that he didn't show up when Rage was on trial, imprisoned, and hospitalized.

That's actually a very good point. Where the hell was he for Rage, given that at one point, he was Rage's guardian?

Maybe he just didn't know Rage was in the hospital?

Maybe he just didn't know Rage was in the hospital?

Lets just be liberal with the canon of his return and say he returned after Rage was in a coma

[Digifiend]

True... that scene could've happened any time before the Ultimates disbanded, which was during Secret Empire. Rage totally vanished from the narrative once the event started, and only returned to active duty in Venomized. We don't know exactly when he recovered.

I remember Nick addressing this on Twitter. He said something to the effect of Dwayne choosing to respect Elvin's decision to tackle the system organically and either win or expose its flaws.

That actually makes sense. Would still be looking forward to those two meeting up again, though.

Thing I might be alone on: If you take away the skateboard, or make it not an actual skateboard, Night Thrasher isn't Night Thrasher.

He changes from the man who uses unorthodox methods and doesn't care what you think about that to a man who's worried about being made fun of.

Under other circumstances, I'd agree.

But Thrash isn't Rocket Racer. He rarely used the board when he it was part of his armor's design, and it barely played a part of his character or arsenal.

Characters change over time, costumes and abilities evolve over time. Frankly, I'd rather have his armor back than the skateboard he barely ever used.

I would agree - the skateboard never seemed to me to be an intrinsic part of the character like the Silver Surfer. (or Silhouette's crutches) He didn't really seem to embody "skate boarder" to me - he was Marvel's young Batman more than anything else and Dwayne had many weapons at his disposal.

God, with Rosenberg at the helm, I fear that Dwayne might get beat up by Castle just to 'avenge' the time Thrasher beat up Punisher

Agreed. My all-time favorite era.

i'm not worried. it's not like anyone else wants to use the character. thought that he was leaving New York. interesting that it's not the newest Ghost Rider.
