They could start with Hank Pym. Marvel created his metal illness and then dumped all over the guy. A lot of posters focused on his slap and totally ignored the mental illness. If anyone deserves the focus it is Hank Pym.

Part of what made the Nadia story powerful is that some mental illnesses are hereditary and after years of seeing Hank not get the help he needed, we had Nadia eventually facing her problem and actually doing something about it. The daughter succeeded where the father has failed.

Yeah, but I hated their depiction of Finesse, who herself had her own personality disorder.

Fair enough.

And not helping matters is that, as we've seen in the past with other longtime members, the Avengers aren't necessarily all that good at helping each other with their personal struggles.

Remember the infamous Carol Danvers pregnancy?

Remember the infamous Carol Danvers pregnancy?

I recall all too well. Not a very good look for either the Avengers in-universe or Marvel (writers and editorial) in real life.

It's a terrible look both ways. Tbf that was a while ago. Carol's gone far since then.

On the other hand, how Wanda Maximoff has been handled, for instance, or Hank Pym, is the reverse of progress
