Blue marvel thread

You know what? I always wanted blue marvel and black panther become friends. Not because they are the black version of Superman and Batman.

I like Blue Marvel. He didnt felt like forced diversity. Maybe because of his stories were good written?
And i always wondered why monica wasnt used more often.

BM came in before the diversity back lash. So more of his hate stemmed from feeling like a forced recon and Sentry: Black Edition.

Monica has 10 fans in the world and they only get to write for Marvel once every 10 years. And non comics Marvel actually sucks at pushing their non x-men/A tier avengers so her exposure just stays small.

Anyways BM has been handled pretty well for a character of his power level. I liked him being a super scitentist that prefered to stay in the background and just deal with high level shit. Its kind of what I wish BP would do more instead of with his country instead of punching bad guys in NY.

Only thing I hated is that his backstory is pants on head retard. The world just forgets a superman level being who has saved the day numerous times and sparked a national civil riot in under 40 years? Least sentry had a wizard scientist did it excuse.

Well, the original mini was Mary Sue fanfic tier. But starting in Mighty Avengers, Ewing always handled him well.

I liked Blue Marvel as the flawed supreman type more than Sentry. At least he was not forced into every single event until people were completely sick of him.

Although he seems to have replaced Reed as the main goto scientist guy of Marvel.

Of the recent years push for more and more superman-tier flying bricks at Marvel. I do not mind him as much.

But with BM, Sentry, Carol being pushed a lot, all the Thors, do they need to keep on making more and more top level flying bricks?

Maybe they could have a team book, like Superman/Batman.

It could be about them confronting police violence against minority communities in the United States.

Marvel could call it Black & Blue.

>they are the black version of Superman and Batman.

..Fffuuuuck. Yes, of course they are...

...So is Carol supposed to be Diana?

So is he also a part of that company's "Marvel family" of heroes? Along with all the captains and misses. Being teamed with Monica too it looks like the Ultimates are past and present Marvel named people.

That basically makes the Ultimates into Marvel's JLA.

Blue Marvel is an amazing character. He's a straight laced guy who happens to get powers and he doesn't let it to to his head.

He's respectful ans carries himself like an adult. Besides its interesting to see a character with so much power that chooses to solve problems with his brain first before devolving into a fight.

I think he is an ideal Leader for the Avengers, in the same vein as Rogers. He pretty much is a Steve Rogers/Superman hybrid character.

I GOT COLLEGE DEGREES THO

Why weren't Adam and Monica invited to the Black Avengers?

>I liked him being a super scitentist that prefered to stay in the background and just deal with high level shit.
him being Tom Strong, Superman Powers Edition was nice. It did work very well with the idea that lot of shit happens outside New York we just don't see

>...So is Carol supposed to be Diana?
No. She's Hal.

Monica is Diana.

Monica is Flash

But then, who is Aquaman?
Indian Giant-Man?

They have pretty serious opposed philosophies, though. T'challa is a king, Adam is a socialist.
No, America is Diana

I want a Blue Marvel comics in which each arc will take place at a different era
* Golden Age 60s Blue Marvel
* Secret Adventures of Doc Brashear
* Present Time Blue Marvel (with Spectrum and Dr Positron as support characters)

Ewing is that you?

Nova is Hal

We need a Blue Marvel solo series or for him to be more prominent in the Universe for sure.

He's too intelligent and powerful to be in limbo.

no, he's Kyle

Unfortunately, Ewing thinks he's not the right person to write a BM solo
He also stated that he won't write BM and Spectrum for a while because he doesn't want them to become his pet characters or something like that

>Only thing I hated is that his backstory is pants on head retard. The world just forgets a superman level being who has saved the day numerous times and sparked a national civil riot in under 40 years? Least sentry had a wizard scientist did it excuse.
To be fair, 616 Earth went through earlier heroes like Cap in the 40's and Marvel Boy in the 50's; the Blue Marvel was just another super that the fickle Marvel public chose to forget once mutants and other started popping.

also, he was supposed to be active for only a brief period without mass-scale alien invasions and such

Exactly. Though the Blue Marvel "retiring" all throughout shit like the Coming of Galactus, Inferno, Fatal Attractions, Kang Dynsaty and other major events that fucked shit up makes Adam come off as an asshole.

It makes you wonder what would've happened if Blue Marvel being revealed as a black man didn't happen and he faced Magneto during the latter's public debut at Cape Citadel?

Rich is modern Hal. Sam is Kyle with silver age Hal's stupidity.

He was busy when Galactus showed up.
He was fighting his archnemesis in Egypt in one of Rama-Tut's old pyramids

A shame Bendis never knew how to write him.

Did Bendis ever write Adam?

Yes. Once.

The World's Smartest?

>Although he seems to have replaced Reed as the main goto scientist guy of Marvel.

this is not an edit

Galactus is a bit OOC for Blue Marvel anyway.

What happens next?

The black version of Batman is Nighthawk OP.

He was basically used as a replacement Mister Fantastic in Ultimates. A bit more of a bruiser, I guess.
