Rick Jones Captain Marvel Appreciation - "MARV!"

[616MarvelYear is LeapYear]

Rick Jones, friend of all superheroes and your neighborhood sidekick. Very human and very super-powerless (mostly).
Captain Marvel, tube son of a legendary hero with the same name, alien, half-breed, Kree. They really don't share any bromance the like Spock would usually require to at least consider cosplaying. But he might've been won by the way one is related to the other.
During a very complicate, all-continuum threatening war, Rick has taken a fatal energy blow. A Captain Marvel, coming from the future and who has tried all the time to change to especially avoid this from happen, has to again share his life-force with Rick to save him. They become like one, sharing molecules: when one is on Earth the other is in the Negative Zone, when in front of any mirroring surface they see the other's reflection, they speak in a way that could resemble telepathy; both with a life of their own (well, fine, Genis doesn’t really have a life, besides booze and women), but completely dependant from each other.

One a part of the other, in the most physical meaning of the word. They share so much, and in such an intimate way, that they piqued Spock's curiosity. They just have what he would mostly want to share with Jim - though the downside would be no more sex, and Spock doesn't really agree with the idea to stop taking his delicious nepik ("submissive") let alone not be able to live on the same physical plane at the same time.
Let's just say that this couple-not-couple was Spock's pick. Jim wasn't this happy, considering all it took him to dress as Rick was to procure a pair of gold bands and snag something casual from his closet while his hubby had all the fun with the costume, the wig and the bodypainting. He may have pouted some hour because of this, even because he likes Genis more but Spock's been adamant: the stronger (and the alien) of the two was going to be him.

Whats missing from the MCU....RICK JONES! He should be the connector between the solo franchise movies. Was super disappointed when they kept him out of the Hulk origin on the second go round. Would love it they gave him the Netflix treatment and showed that he's been around the edges of the heroes origins all along.
Now casting...that could be tricky....

Yes, Rick Jones is a marvelous 'everyman' character. He can also be a great 'connector' by appearing in every Marvel Television and Netflix series.

The audacity to leave out Captain Marvel´s battlecry

These 6 issues had great art. Although Captain Marvel had a godawful look, it eventually would lead to Avengers Forever and the Peter David Captain Marvel series! with an AWESOME Captain Marvel look

So, if the Rick Jones that was featured in ALIAS with (non-relative) Jessica Jones was an imposter..


...then was Rick Jones' most recent appearance in the miniseries THE LONERS?

I remember this cover from when I was a kid. Sal's best work , however, was some of the issues he did on Thor with Walt Simonson - I felt he altered his style to be more Simonson-like, and it worked for me.

Marvel Spotlight v2 #8, 1980 - Two prominent scientists disappear from Earth, prompting Captain Marvel to rescue them from an unconventional planet of prisoners. Despite Frank Miller's talented pencils, Bruce Patterson's inking style mostly dominates the pages. The characters' faces and figure drawings suffer from a stiff, overworked quality. Miller's layouts and sequencing burst through on too few pages

By contrast, the artist's cover is rife with movement, spontaneity and exotic flair.

That is a great cover from Miller. He's not an artist I would ever have expected to be compatible with a cosmic hero like Mar-Vell, but wow, he really knocks it out of the park. You're right about the interior, though - I think the inks kill Miller's pencils.

Drax is upset because Mar-vell killed Thanos (or so he thought). But their epic fight is interrupted by a real crisis, so they team up (of course) to battle the bad guys. Written by Doug Moench. Artwork by Pat Broderick.

YES! This was a fantastic book by PAD! I wish they would bring Genis back and pair him with Rick again. It was so neat! The interaction between all the characters was written very well. Marvel could easily bring him back.

Marvel will easily bring Steve Rogers back to be Captain America in the near future alongside other Captain Americas.
Marvel can also easily bring back Rick Jones to be Captain Marvel alongside other Captain Marvels.
