Runaways Appreciation 2021

[Krakoa]

Nico (along with a number of other Runaways) was in Lego Marvel Super Heroes as well.

[Digifiend]

And that's a full blown console game, so the answer to Frontier's question was definitely "no".

Rainbow is the new She-Hulk writer.

Marvel Comics’ She-Hulk, from Rainbow Rowell and Rogê Antônio, throws the book at Jennifer Walters as she tries to put her rage-filled days behind her and return to practicing law in defense of the innocent. But when a friend from her past comes knocking with a mystery she can’t resist, She-Hulk gets…Back To Bashing.

[Frontier]

Hopefully she has more plot in mind, but I guess a She-Hulk slice of life book wouldn't be the worst thing.

Nico is voiced by Lyrica Okano in Midnight Suns. They brought her back!

That's pretty awesome !

Good to see Nico looking rad in Midnight Suns. Was on vacation so I couldn't really post here about it.

Isn't Jen originally from LA? If she's trying to get back to her roots, maybe we could see her returning to LA and this could be Rainbow's convenient way to sneak some Runaways cameos there to finish her story properly.

Nico is voiced by Lyrica Okano in Midnight Suns. They brought her back!

That was surprising. It's nice to know she still gets to play Nico in some way.

Out of curiosity where has Okano voicing Nico in the game been confirmed?

Also, since the marketing on social media keeps referring to the Runaways alongside the X-Men, and Avengers does anyone else think that another one of the kids might show up? I mean there are only a few unconfirmed characters in the base game, but it'd be neat to see Victor Mancha.

Nico speaks in the latest trailer and I believe it's clearly her. I thought her scream in the initial trailer also sounded like Lyrica but now I'm sure.

I honestly just thought that they used Runaways because saying ''Nico Minoru'' wouldn't sound mainstream enough for people who don't follow comics. Runaways had a somewhat popular TV show that's available on Hulu and Disney+, so people are more likely to have at least heard about it. It makes for better marketing, even if there are no other members there.

But if there are more Runaways showing up, I would actually like if it was Alex. He actually had magic powers at one point after being resurrected, so it would be interesting if they leaned on that to adapt him for the game. Maybe he could be an antagonist for Nico if she gets some sort of subplot?

[Frontier]

If I'm thinking of the Runaways most likely to be in a game other than Nico, it would probably be Karolina or Molly to be honest.

Yeah, they're the two most 'superhero-ish.' Chase would be very limited in 'moves' with just the fist-a-gons, and Gert's got exactly one move, for Old Lace to jump on whomever's threatening her, which would be funny once, but be kind of odd for a running combat.

[Digifiend]

Limited, really? In Avengers Alliance, most characters had four moves. But Chase had six (two involving Old Lace) because the Fistigons had a submenu with three options.

Anyone else think the next time the Runaways will get a shot at a comic will be in 2023 for the Twentieth Anniversary?
