The Flaw in Everything - Karnak Appreciation

[idisestablish]

Awwww..... there he goes karnaking thru the Marvel Universe.

This case that Coulson needs help with which has Inhuman Implication could something to do with the "mysterious Skyspears" or the thing that made him commit suicide.

I thought the events he was predicting when he committed suicide had to do with the Kree. I think the skyspears might be connected to them as well. Maybe the Supreme Intelligence has been playing an extremely long game with the Inhumans. If that's the case, I have to wonder why Karnak is working with SHIELD instead of Crystal's team to investigate..?

Yeah it cant be the Skyspears -- it would be a waste and boring if 2 Inhuman books dealt with the same issue but i wouldn't mind the Supreme Intelligence being a major foe for the Inhumans.

I actually want a book that deals with the Kree that's how weird i'm lol!

If so we are both weirdos.

Good idea for a thread Trident! I have two points of comment.
The Inhuman whose chest Karnak burst from is named Lineage.
If your networking threads, I made a little-used Black Bolt thread a while back. I can update my sig when I. at my laptop!

[Trident]

Sure, Trident!
Knight of DC linked Karnak and Crystal in the Medusa thread, so that's a good start. I searched and found a couple of Black Bolt appreciation threads that were started, but none have any recent activity. Maybe that will change soon!

So, who does everyone hope to see regular or guest in Karnak's book? I was thinking about Auran earlier, and with what we know of Karnak's book, I think she would be a good fit, and it would be great to see these two team-up investigating whatever Coulson has Karnak looking into.

I will certainly add the others as I come across them. We Royal Family advocates have to stick together on CBR. With Complexers going to complex unity between fans would be a nice change of pace.

Initially... I would much rather Karnak go it totally solo. There is a lot of ground that Karnak needs to cover just to get people initially on board to keep the series going. But after a few(5-6) issues I would love to see Auran teaming up with Karnak. She was such a cool character and her powers could play very well with Karnaks ability. Another character I would like to see would be Dewoz. Out the Young Inhumans he was the one of the few that I really enjoyed. It would be cool to see him return and it would give Karnak an a way to get around without every Royal Family member being tied to Lockjaw.

You're so right about Auran, N'Dare! I also agree, SHIELD is not to be trusted, but Coulson is usually pretty straightforward, so we'll see. Either way, I don't think there's any chance of Karnak having the wool pulled over his eyes, so I have no doubt that he'll be a step ahead, if SHIELD's hands are dirty.

This is a quality I absolutely love about Karnak. His intuitive nature about things combined with his weakness detection skill is such an interesting quality. It even puts inline if not a head of some of the top mind in the MU in terms of tactics/strategy .

Like here with Hank Pym:




Pym was constantly one step behind Karnak and it seemed as if Pym's well know insecurities was highlighted here with him trying his hardest to protect his ego.

I sorta think that Preview #2 spoiled what the threat will be....

spoilers:

• Karnak versus a warehouse full of enemy agents! The agents don't stand a chance. • But the Zen Gunner can turn the air itself into a deadly weapon? Karnak's in trouble.

Thanks IQ! Glad so many are interested in discussing Karnak!

Thanks for the correction. Kept getting his name mixed up and I will update my Sig with both Medusa and Black Bolt right now.

[DIVINITY]

Never cared for the character but I'm very intrigued by his upcoming solo series and what Ellis will do with him.

This...

I wonder what the Zen Gunner is. A NuHuman? A Mutant? A Science Freak? Sound like he has powers for sure.

Apparently "using the air as a weapon"...

Hmmm. Could 'he' somehow be the catalyst for the Inhuman-Mutant disagreement?

I thinks this is a possibility. Maybe something to do with controlling the T-Most thought the air. Or it could be simple Airbender like powers. Maybe even would air constructs . Maybe this powers are more linked to his name than we think here.....

Either way I'm excited that Karnak is getting his first Rogue! Hope there are many more to come down the road!

A Metal Gear Solid villain?

No doubt! And that makes sense. I agree that he should start out purely solo, but team-ups are bound to happen eventually!

It also says that he's in a warehouse full of enemy "agents." There are only so many villains with lackeys described as agents. Hydra or AIM, perhaps? With the name Zen Gunner, I can't help but be reminded of Zenpool, but I can't imagine that's the case. My guess is he's a mutate intentionally enhanced by Hydra or AIM.

edit: I posted that without really considering the "air as a weapon" aspect. It's a bit implausible for that to be an engineered ability, so I'm going to go with evil NuHuman. Also, Hydra has been shown gathering NuHumans, so I'm going to also go ahead and say that Hydra is at work here, and Coulson has Karnak investigating whatever plans Hydra has with the NuHumans they're rounding up.

I just remenbered something. Zen Gunner may be that nuhuman boy who was kidnapped by Hydra in the U X-men Inhumanity tie-in. He had the power of shooting knock-out gas by holes in his body, it was so strong that it put all the X-women out cold.
Plus they were out here in the middle of the mists and nobody died, this supports the "Skyspears are guilty" theory.

Both of these are great ideas. Would really like to read either of which.

I haven't read that story but it sounds like a possibility. Do you or anyone know where I can possibly find a scan of what this kid looks like?
