Genis-Vell returns?

[Golden_Guardian]

Or Genny Marvel.

I imagine that being said in the adoring voice of Forrest Gump.

Rick did tend to dominate a lot in the first two years of the book, but PAD was making a deliberate effort to correct that before the first volume ended--and then once the 2nd volume started and the "crazy Genis" era began, Genis was very much the driving force of the book with Rick mostly stuck along for the ride.

I agree. And I liked the reverse role of Rick (the eternal sidekick) actually being the experienced super-hero veteran of the duo. Never liked much the insane Captain Marvel of the second vol, though I'll admit it was an original take, and it did give us some quite interesting and unpredictable tales. One thinh I'll agree with the detractors is that PAD really didn't explore much of a rogues gallery for Genny.

Has his return been explained?

He was killed pretty good

From the get go I actually saw a way out for the death trap, it would, of course, involve merging again with Rick.

What's with all the "Captains" anyway? They should have Monica promoted so she can switch to "Major Marvel" (It sounds somewhat silly, but is it any sillier than "captain?" We're just so used to hearing "Captain" in superhero names...)

Actually, as a ship Captain, I think Monica is more deserving of the rank. Carol should never have accepted the demotion (really doesn't make sense for her character, but, hey, whatever pushes the agenda, right?) . If she wanted to go military, she should have been Col. Marvel, Or Commander Marvel.

It is kind of hilarious that the name Carol is most known by now isn't even her actual rank .

I'm all for making Carol a general Marvel.

That name doesn't exactly have teeth

[j9ac9k]

Is the name "Marvel" taken? I mean, it comes with a lot of baggage being literally the name of the company, but it's a perfectly cromulent name... Would they ever do that with any character?

Or Genis could always go with "Starface."

How about Marvelma...oh wait...

Brigadier General Marvel or One Star Marvel probably isn't much better. Guess we'll have to leave well enough alone.

I miss Ms. Marvel.

I miss Ms. Marvel.

I miss the Ms. Marvel costume...

I miss the Ms. Marvel costume that Rogue once wore back in the '80s (XD)

That would work in Soooo many ways.

No worries, the costume returns in a future timeline. Meet Marvel Woman, born Marlene Brashear, likely daughter or granddaughter of the Blue Marvel. But like the Blue Marvel, we probably won't see much more of her anytime soon.

But maybe not. Maybe some writer will decide to bring Marvel Woman to the 616 and break up the disturbing monopoly of blond-haired, blue-eyed heavy hitters that Marvel has going (e.g., Sentry, Thor, Miracleman, Carol Danvers, Captain Britain/Avalon (Brian Braddock), etc.).

King Pun is my evil counterpart. I try not to let him out too often.

I'm still waiting for a Kangaroo to join the Pet Avengers. Captain Marvsupial.
