How about we make an asexual "white/trailer trash" superhero ? Coming from a poor background and a humble trailer park in the south of US, she is gifted with magical powers that allow her to call upon the skills and weapons of her ancestors: ranging from 19th century soldiers, through medieval knights down to ancient hunters.
Dunno, that's a lot of potential readers as long as you don't make their a stupid stereotype (which I guess you could if it was a superhero parody comic) and quite honestly, do you think they're less likely to buy a comic compared to all those tumbrlinas that just download single frames or pages from the internet for their rants ?
Kayden Barnes
Going to a more generic level. Isn't this basically what that fat blue collar kid from the avengers initiative was?
For your specific attempt, you seem to be missing that most of the kid heroes are poor minorities whose friends or enemies are trash.

Butterball was great. Kiden Nixon was also basically urban white trash.
Logan Flores
Thats just Carnage-Man
Aaron Garcia
While not asexual, we did have a Marvel based Rural Poor hero.
His name was Juston Seyfert, and a Hopeless idiot offed him just as interest was building in him again.
Logan Torres
Man Mettle was bad enough, I cannot imagine the levels of "fuck you readers" you have to have to off Juston. Juston and Sentinel were great and really earnest, that felt so shitty in AA.
Samuel Barnes
>a Confederate flag and a Renault in the same picture
What did they mean by this?
Noah Martin
The problem with this is the idea of doing it to counter some message still loses out to just actually making a decent comic.
You *could* write something decent with this if an agenda wasn't primarily in the driver's seat. So, give it a shot if you think you can do that.
Justin Murphy
Oh I wasn't like "counter a message" I just thought it would be cool to have a hero attempting to stop themselves from attacking a hero out of a sense of righteous anger they KNOW is misplaced.

Man, just give me a young hero who doesn't act like a stereotypical middle class teenage/college age millenial.
Blake Morales
Introduce a redneck Thor Start off with that scene from Thor with all the redneck trying to take Thor's hammer. Focus on a guy with one leg (got blown up in Iraq) Gets black out drunk, and wakes up with Thor's hammer and two legs. Slowly work up to being a Hero. Battles meth labs, biker gangs, and Tornadoes.
Luke Cook
Why would she ? Barring some incidents like the completely insane initial massacre at Jerusalem, the Crusaders ruled the holy lands rather fair. Heck, wasn't there some mulsim story about some asshole trying to force a guy to pray in a different direction than his mecca and Templars intervening and apologizing for the "uncultured man" ?
Thomas Anderson
>Man, just give me a young hero who doesn't act like a stereotypical middle class teenage/college age millenial. No. Every single hero must be a middle class teenage American social liberal from New York. Those are the only people who exist. The only diversity is in their skin tone.
Aiden Barnes
So essentially you want to make a degenerate hillbilly hero for the sole purpose of countering all those darkies in modern comics

Christopher Kelly
>call upon the skills and weapons of her ancestors Why are we assuming that her ancestor's skills and weapons are of any use? You'd guess the average trailer trash's ancestors were also poor so unless the crisis calls for cheap farmhands, factory workers and poverty, calling on her ancestors shouldn't really help too much.
Isnt it believing that every white person has some great noble bloodline filled with great people more or less the same as black people who believe "we were kings and shit"?

Cletus was a hero during Axis and it was beautiful.

Marvel did this years ago with Cannonball. They tried to hype him so hard he even joined the Avengers.
But it didn't work because you can't expect to increase sales while pandering to people who can't read.
Hunter James
> the weapons and skills of her ancestors, from soldiers to knights to hunters
this sounds really boring.
Colton Diaz
>But it didn't work because you can't expect to increase sales while pandering to people who can't read. I'm sure that was it, and not that no one outside of a specific subset of X-Men fans gives a flying fuck about the Guthries.

There was a Sup Forums OC at one time named 'Rebel Son'. He was a pro wrestling fan who lived in a shack in the woods and waged a vigilante war against methamphetamine while wearing a rebel flag mask. Also he was depressed as fuck.

Sorry guys but none of your shitty ideas are going to be put in a comic
Jaxson Hall
I'm giving speech-to-text a few years before I give it another shot. My accent is ridiculous.
I know I'm supposed to be the illiterate one, so maybe it's just me, but what the fuck is your greentext even about? Is that what you thought my argument was? I'm a white college graduate that moved back home to take care of ailing family members and haven't been able/willing to leave since. I know this is groundbreaking, but I actually meant exactly what I expressed. There was no "super secret" innuendo going on there.
Cannonball will never rise above his status as a backup B-Lister. Where are you seeing "PANDER HARDER!" or "I'M BLACK!" in that statement?

Dominic Cox
>For some unidentifiable reason the super hero gene/spark always seems to spark in trash/urban/poor areas of society across the globe. That would actually work really well for something with an early 2000's feel. You could make the powers caused by chemicals companies dumped in poor areas.
Jonathan Flores
>Die Moslem dog- cough, sorry Kamala. love what you done with your hair.
Jordan Sanchez
The photographers are from the Netherlands, apparently.
Because your post didn't include any criticism of Cannonball as a character or why he failed beyond saying he was was another face in a larger, established property (as though having a built-in setting is somehow necessarily bad). So it doesn't sound like you thought he was handled poorly. Only that Marvel didn't shove him into more books. And when people start social media campaigns about how comic companies don't care about [x], or that [y] should be a specific minority, they always want a linewide revamp with their OC all over the place.
You didn't sound like someone who wants a well-written character, just a synthetic A-lister so you can feel appeased.
Sebastian Allen
>tfw Cecil and TTE can never get it on
Liam Campbell
He'll be able to touch things again as long as he doesn't kill Gwen before she's able to do some magic stuff for him. And Gwen doesn't have to kill him again. And he doesn't stay trapped in the gem. Or get otherwise fucked up by the gem. Okay, it's pretty unlikely that anything will go as planned and he's probably going to end up in some sort of afterlife at the end of the arc.
Robert Adams
The Crusades were a complete clusterfuck. My favorite story that sums up the entire period is a cavalry engagement that occurred outside of a strategic Muslim city. The English were riding stallions because they were the best horse for the charge and the Turks were riding mares because they were stable mounts for horse archers. Now, the timing of the battle was a key decider of the outcome. Had they fought months earlier no doubt there'd have been blood on both sides. But on this occasion the battle was ended before fighting could begin due to mutual exasperation. For you see, the Turks mounts were very much in heat... and the stallions, had a different sort of charge in mind. So while the men were concerned with making war, their mounts were making love.
Caleb Bailey
Why is there a European Renault with multiple European license plates in the background?
Liam Hughes
White trash super hero was basically the plot of The Pro and I'd be down with more of that.
There should be a whole genre of simple people getting powers and doing petty shit with it. The most memorable episode of Dexter's lab to me for some reason is Mom shopping and having Matrix fights with some woman that wanted the last can of peanut butter.

This thread is what I was waiting for, I have had this idea running through my head for some time. World I present to you: >ALL NEW ALL DIFFERENT CAPTAIN CHAV >Captain Britain finds himself powerless >In the search to discover why his powers vanished Braddock meets someone with similar powers to the ones he had as Captain Britain >and he is a fucking chav >a foul-mouthed, hard drinking, authority disrespecting, propriety vandalizing, non-working chav >Braddock informs this to MI-13/the British Government who pretty much flip their shit and drop their monocles realizing "Shit, this is the guy who is going to represent Britain to the superhero international community and the rest of the world" >Braddock gets charged with training the new "Captain Britain" and discovering how he got his powers and the relationship with his lost ones >easier said than done as Captain Chav has no idea how he got his powers and has absolute zero interest in being a superhero prefering to use his powers to impress slags and intimidate other chavs >comic would follow the attempts of Brian Bradock to try not only teach Captain Chav how be a real superhero and use his powers to protect Britain from supermenaces, but also how to uphold the British's values and become a gentleman so he won't tarnish Britain's image It would be kinda like Kingsman with superheroes.

Crusaders barely count as knights unless your only criteria is they put a helmet on one time and had a sword, they might as well have been a back-alley nigger gang, they showed up, got some gear slapped on them, then the most of them did nothing other than rob, brutalize and kill other christians that were in their path.
Blake Watson
Exaggerated and apocryphal detail from the Siege of Nicaea IIRC. The Crusades were a complete clusterfuck but they were still a lot more interesting than that.

Honestly, I'd be more interested in Captain Chav and Pete Wisdom dealing with each other, with Braddock along for the ride. They'd either get on really well or fucking hate each other.
