"The Marvel EIC Chair has a certain curse that goes along with it: it tends to drive people insane, and ultimately, out of the business altogether. It is the notorious last stop for many staffers, as once you've sat in The Big Chair, your pariah status is usually locked in." Christopher Priest
Thanks for the kind words! I don't know about Pym NEVER losing -- and of course, what constitutes a loss, exactly? Still, I envision the character as definitely being a step ahead of most people, definitely enigmatic and powerful beyond what he's been allowed to be throughout his history.
Actually, I imagine him playing a similar role to the character of Dr. Strangefate in the initial Amalgam run -- so powerful and knowledgeable that everyone else was essentially pawns for him to move around the table -- except utilizing science instead of magic.
I'm not someone who dislikes characters. Ambivalent? Sure, there are plenty I don't give much of a hoot about. But, as a writer, each character offers unlimited possibilities; each is one piece of the beautiful puzzle that is the Marvel Universe, and fitting them together in fun ways is what it's all about! So, I'm not sure what role Nadia would play, but you can bet she'd appear -- just like Raz the Giant-Man and Rita the Yellowjacket and anyone else you'd expect to see.

Another Potentially Controversial Opinion:
I'd love to see an Avengers run focused on a team of characters from around the world, with leadership roles for Dr. Doom and Silver Sable (in place of Iron Man and Black Widow).
-Pav, who wonders who should be the Cap analogue...
You were Spider-Man then. You and Peter had agreed on it. But he came back right when you started feeling comfortable.
You know what it means when he comes back.

Nadia Pym/Wasp's upbeat demeanor is incompatible with her origin. She spent her entire life in the Red Room and was raised to be an agent from birth. She should have been a much darker hero, more in line with X-23 than Janet van Dyne. I'd love to see a story with Nadia ŕ la The Manchurian Candidate where she gets activated as a Red Room agent under brainwashing.
Betsy Braddock was better when she was trapped in the wrong body.

I never liked that retcon that Bucky was some elite black ops super soldier. It always felt like it was trying too hard to make a silly fun character into something dark gritty and series.
(English isn't my first language)
Miles Morales is Spider-Man
Diversity has no affect on a story's quality
Having two Spider-Men in 616 is okay.
Can't get into other Marvel comics outside of Spider-Man (Recommendations would be nice, thanks in advance)
Overall, DC>Marvel
Deadpool is lame
I don't get the hype for Gwenpool
I don't care for the new Shangi chi film
Thor movies are lame.
Spider-Man carries the whole Marvel franchise.
ARkadelphia Nope. I'm saying that race/sexuality doesn't change how good (or bad) a story is. (e.g. Miles, Kamala, Amadeus, Riri, Chevas, Young Avengers, and such.)

I thought it was a change that made sense. Him being a mascot that just followed a unit of soldiers made little sense. Being a kid who lied bout his age to join the army made more sense. How effective a soldier he was varies, on his own he is fine with Cap he need to be bailed out.
