The whole argument about them being never changing doesn't really work when they did get other team members once in a while, and, y'know, Future Foundation is a thing.
Well, Spider-Man added Miles and "that's about it" too, F4 not only created BP much earlier, but he's also more than copy and pasting the main character's power set in another, if BP can be so easily dismissed as an addition, so can Miles.IIRC I already pointed out BP. And yes, it took Spider-Man a long time, but at least it happened. F4 introduced Black Panther and that's about it for long-term additions
Early on, Johnny had Strange Tales as basically his solo comic.
Oh, wasn't saying he was, just pointing out that if Miles is gonna be used as an example of of POC characters introduced, then BP came around far, far earlier.Before Miles....
Monica Rambeau
Rocket Racer
Robbie Robertson and his family
Hobie Brown
Nightwatch
Puma
Vermin
Bloodshed
Cardiac
To name a few...
Hobie Brown boasts a mini and ongoing.
Nightwatch boasts an ongoing
Rocket Racer had backups in books and Marvel paid Tony Isabella to do a set of them.
Miles has the successful long run but he was not the first POC Spidey tried to toss out.
Also I had forgotten Monica was introduced in Spidey's comic, I think it was setting her up as an Avenger?
Is that the run from the 90's? Because if it is, I did check it out once, and Sue there was just saying "I know this sounds like a silver age comic book, but Reed isn't dead!", Ben and Johnny were really believing Reed was dead for some reason, and Malice returned and started to **** with her mind I think (I know Malice did do that, but I'm not sure if it was during the "Reed's dead" mini arc), don't think she did much as a character besides that.
If Sue's somehow even worse than that, then oh boy lol.
I guess that goes back to the toxic nostalgia thing, if it's as extreme as it's sounding like, then Sue was a nobody in Kirby era, and now she's just a stronger nobody.
What do you mean? That Reed isn't as bad as Xavier?
