Champions Appreciation 2022

[Huntsman Spider]

— Champions/My Hero Academia Headcanon

Would be a great crossover, especially in light of MHA's more recent chapters having the darker aspects and secrets of Hero Society exposed to the public and to the aspiring heroes of the main cast, which could potentially inspire a Champions-style revolt against the corruption of heroism among the younger heroes.

— Kamala Khan/Ms Marvel ⚡️- “Good is not a thing you...

I remember that one. "Good is not a thing you are. Good is a thing you do." In retrospect, one could look at it as a warning against tautology, the tendency to presume that if someone is "good," that automatically imbues all their actions with that supposed goodness, regardless of how morally dubious or flat-out immoral those actions might actually be. In other words --- "You can't call yourself good and then use it as an excuse or justification to do bad things."

Kamala, Viv and an Anya!

Very cute.

That "Good is not a thing you are" line is so iconic, it was used as one of her voice lines in the Avengers Academy mobile game.

I still miss that game. That said, that line belongs right up there with "With great power, there must also come great responsibility."

New Ms. Marvel mini announced. Same format as the upcoming Moon Girl series, three issues of team-ups.

So this is basically just a book to be spotlighting Kamala (and more Moon Knight) in time for her Disney+ show.

I guess Venom is Dylan?

[Tofali]

I've even forgotten her last team-up with Wolverine. Was that real or was that part of her fan-fiction?

[Digifiend]

It was real, happened shortly before he was killed off, Ms. Marvel vol 3 issues 6 and 7.

I would imagine so, considering Eddie's current status quo. Maybe she'll tell Dylan that if he ever wants a team, he's welcome to join the Champions? Though I suspect that Miles wouldn't approve.

Also, remember that Wolverine was the first hero Kamala ever teamed up with, even before Carol (whose team-up wasn't until issue 16), so this is a long overdue reunion. Since other X-Men are also supposed to appear, I hope they remember that Cyclops was a Champion and therefore counts Kamala as a friend.

I also note that the article mentions an exciting next era... are these one-shots a prelude to a new ongoing, I wonder?

I hope so, yeah.

One-shots leading to rumoured ongoing seems to be what they are doing with Moon Girl and DD

Does DD stand for Devil Dinosaur?

[Tofali]

Yes it does.

[Huntsman Spider]

Yes it does.

That's good. I was thinking you meant Daredevil at first, since "DD" is also an abbreviation of his name.

That would be an interesting idea having Moon Girl and Dare Devil teamup with Princess Fisk as the villain/antagonist of the one-shot would make it even better.

[Digifiend]

Yeah, too bad, but Moon Girl's team-ups are with Miles Morales, the Avengers, and the X-Men - and other books haven't even acknowledged Princess Fisk's existence. Fantastic Four would've been fun too, so that Kid Kree could meet Jo Grimm, Ben's adopted Kree son.

Incidentally, Moon Girl's book isn't a rumour. They announced it last year along with other books such as the Timeless one-shot, FF Reckoning War, She-Hulk, and Avengers Forever. I presume it was delayed due to the cartoon getting delayed, so her one-shots are actually a stop-gap.

Ha, yes, that would be fun to see.
