Ask Kurt Busiek

If Namor was ongoing, would you use Marrina and/or Nia Noble?

[Gaastra]

Initially, I wanted to use the Rita deMara Yellowjacket, but she had gone to the future and then come back to an alternate near-future where she got murdered, and that seemed hard to untangle -- the near-future she died in never actually happened, but it was the Rita from the main timeline that got killed in it, so -- ????

Female yellowjacket was the biggest waste of a avenger. She was taking off in gotg as a reformed hero then they fridge her and worse never really talked about it much. They did bring her back to life in dead avengers but marvel never used her her again after it! She would be great in defenders or thunderbolts or how about the outlaws. Wish someone would use her but please no turning her bad again. We did that crap with sandman. Never liked reformed bad guys turning bad again after turning into a hero for years.

In the right hands she could be a great tragic hero!

Getting killed in The Crossing storyline, which was eventually (rightfully) wiped away as even happening as originally intended, is about as tragic as you can get.

Kurt, Who is your favourite Avengers Heroes ?

I don't really rank 'em, but I'm a big big Hawkeye fan.

I also like Cap, Wanda, Jan, the Vision, Simon, Iron Man, Carol Danvers and numerous others.

If Namor was ongoing, someone else would be writing it, sorry.

But I never cared much for Marrina, and I don't know (or maybe just don't remember offhand) who Nia Noble is...

Had to look her up also. Looks like she is the daughter of two atlantis bad guys who married ww2 hero the fin. She joined the us agents new invaders and is the captain of a us battleship that can enter other dimensions!

Crazy!

That's her! Assuming she is a mutant, would love to see her on Krakoa!

as far as Marrina, I always thought she should leave Earth, join GotG, SWORD, or even become a herald of G.

Hi Kurt, so is there any further plans for the Ruuls from Maximum Security?
And was there any other plans for them that weren't realized?

I have no plans for them.

The intent there was to break the Kree out of their evolutionary dead end, and make them look less bland, to boot.

But nobody else at Marvel seemed to want that, so it all got ignored. I can think of things to do with it anyway, and if I was, say, writing a Carol Danvers series, or some other series where the Kree were important, I'd probably use it. But I'm not, so I doubt I'd take another run at it, set something up and have it all be ignored again.

It's wide open, so anything's possible.

Anyone, anywhere, any time.
