    Post UNPOPULAR OPINION: Marvel has good treatments toward Redhead/Gingers than DC

    MARY JANE, JEAN GREY, DAREDEVIL, BLACK WIDOW all have an ongoing books that keep them going. Even most the X-women are redheads (RACHEL, HOPE, FIRESTAR, WOLFBANE). Beside,redhead/gingers most of them don't treat them very harsely compare to DC COMICS where they treat WALLY WEST into a villain/ get killed, GUY GARDNER a jerk and BARBARA GORDON into an ass.

    I have noticed that. I think it's probably pure coincidence, but...

    Wally West - Becomes a murderer at one point
    Roy Harper - Gets killed off at one point
    Vic Sage - Gets killed off at one point
    Garth Ranzz - Gets rebooted with a racial bend or as a kid
    Barbara Gordon - Gets shot and paralyzed

    Kind of weird.

    Mary-Jane had her relationship with Peter erased and Marvel tried to kill her off in the 90s.

    Jean Grey was killed off twice.

    The amount of misery writers frequently pile on Daredevil is practically a running gag.

    And DC recently brought back Roy Harper and are trying to undo the damage they did to Wally. Barbara is also consistently used and was never killed off.

    DC prefers blondies to gingers.

    Guy Gardner always has been a jerk and that is why he is loved.
    By the way, was not Black widow killed on Secret empire and returned as a clone? That seems to be a trend in Marvel now. Everyone is a clone but Spider-man.

    Women with scarlet red hair are not gingers. They aren't an ethnic group, they're just women who dyed their hair.

    Yes, for eighty-something years, DC has shown their hatred towards redheads. Except when they didn't, of course.

    Maddie Pryor disagrees that it's better ginger life in Marvel world.

    Wasn't the original Jason Todd a red head and Bruce forced him to dye it?

    Jimmy Olsen's constantly being turned into things and chased by crooks because they know he's close to Superman.

    While I haven't read Jason of that era, I thought I'd been told it was Jason's idea to dye it back in the 1980s. Can anyone who remembers say?

    I think he was. At least in Morrison's Batman and Robin, that was mentioned.

    Blonde. My bad. For strangest it would probably have to be Giant Turtle Man. Close second being when he grew an out of control beard.
