50 State Initiative Teams and Characters Appreciation 2021 !!!

[Sutekh]

I have to throw in an honorable mention for Butterball and Bat-Wing.

Oh yes. Let poor 'Boulder' (Butterball's chosen name for himself) spend a few hours a day with Leech, or use SPINtech or something, to get to exercise and get ever so slightly more in shape (although I'd love for him to remain far from a normal superhero body type, just maybe let him put in some muscle under it and get more of a Kingpin thing going on, where 'big' doesn't necessarily mean 'weak' or imply negative crap like 'lazy').

hopefully gorilla-girl gets cured of her powers and goes on the lecture circuit talking about how she was trapped in a problematic trope..

I realy wish Marvel would do something with these characters again. Granted I don't necessarily mean the boot camp style of before but take maybe a Legion of Super heroes approach...10-15 (or more is fine) and rotate them around. No longer the Avengers Initiative but just...the Initiative.

I've long thought that Marvel should combine the New Warriors and the Initiative -- have a main group of young heroes that go around the country helping other young heroes who may need training, support, etc.

-Pav, who would also include the Excelsior/Loners therapy concept...

He’s fine how he is. Being completely invulnerable is a great power. He just wasn’t written well. Every hero has their strengths and weaknesses. Well the vast majority do. Boulder could definitely be useful in the right situations.
