Androids don't have any rights in the Marvel Universe. It has been shown they can be summarily executed.

Just because they're not recognised by the law, doesn't necessarily mean they don't have souls or that they don't exist etc etc.

Just wondering, why did you bring up the point about the Avengers leaving Vision in pieces?

They could have built him back together again, but I don't really see the point in doing that. We don't sew limbs back onto human corpses when they're buried or burned, right? They probably thought it a fitting 'burial' for an android.

Vision wasn't dead after Avengers Disassembled, unlike a human corpse.

Earth androids, maybe. And yet, Roberta the former Baxter Building receptionist has been emancipated from her work and now lives on her own, apparently with Reed's knowledge and approval.

The Mekkan alien race first encountered by Ben Grimm way back inherited the planet of their now-extinct humanoid Maarin creators, and they have rights as a race of their own.

It's the same issue with superheroes and mutants - unless we expect comic books to become direct reference, social justice and legal rights periodicals (which could be great) it isn't going to change any time soon.

The story about Reed and Val was really heartwarming. Thank you, Jeff Parker.

It was better than the entire Robinson run. The whole thing was very disappointing imo.

We in fact know that he was dead like a human corpse. See Dead Avengers mini.

They were all pretty good, for the limited space they had and what they were trying to accomplish. Loved Ben's, though. I think the line went something like "you really want to experience clobberin' time?" That was perfect.

Yes! That was great. That story definitely had Ben's personality. I loved the expression, through the mask, of the thief looking at his partner, right after Ben said that. Also the look he gave his partner when he pulled a gun and called Ben a freak. Complete disbelief mixed with, "have you got a death wish?"

I think Sue's story was my least favorite, mainly because it all occurred in one place.

Technically, Johnny's and Ben's stories occurred in one place, as well.

I also liked the Thing story because it basically boils down to something as simple as this: "Ben Grimm is a hero".

Such a simple mission statement and it worked so effectively.
