Meet Mosaic, Marvel’s New Body-Jumping Antihero

Why should we care about him?

>In addition to the ongoing series, Thorne and Randolph — who created the character — are putting out a ten-page Mosaic origin story that will be available for free on August 6 at Barnes & Noble stores. We caught up with them for an exclusive chat about the ins and outs of Morris’s powers, Quantum Leap, and their efforts to make sure Morris isn’t a stereotypical black superhero.

What was attractive about this project?

>Geoffrey Thorne: I grew up on Marvel comics. They're a large part of the reason I became a writer. To be asked to create a new character for Marvel and for that character to be this character and for him to be realized in this way? My inner 12-year-old hasn't stopped screaming and dancing. And, not to put too fine a point on it, he's black. I'm getting to add another black character to the Marvel universe that gave us the Black Panther, Cage, Falcon, Blade, Miles Morales, and Storm. Also, they're paying me.

>Khary Randolph: People always ask for more diversity and strong characters of color, so that is what we aim to deliver. But that aspect is just the outer layer — the more important thing is creating an interesting person that people will want to know more about month to month. Specifically as it pertains to Mosaic, the subject matter just appeals to my sensibilities. I love science fiction, I love hip-hop and I love sports, and this project has all three of these in huge quantities. I think one of my strong points as an artist is conveying energy. Which comes in handy when you are drawing a character that is literally energy. Also, they're paying me.

>>83929482
Credit for trying something new. Hopefully it'll be good, sounds different at least.

Gonna last 12 issues at best.

See, I'm interested in the idea of a character who exists only as a body-jacking entity, especially if he doesn't have his own physical form.

>>83929482
thought this was gonna be about jessica jones, oh well. And wow, Khary Randolph did that DC development program, surprised he went to Marvel.

>>83929511
He's black and therefore cool

>>83929482
So Geist?

>>83929511

Because rather than taking an existing hero/villain and racebending them to meet diversity quotas, they're actually trying to make a brand new character.

This is real progress.

This makes me miss when Jericho wasn't evil

>>83929482
>This isn't "What if Lebrone James was a super hero" the comic

wasted opportunity

>>83929602
Shame that he's a Inhuman, then he would had nothing dragging him down.

oh yeah I remember those teasers, strange it's just a new inhuman series

>>83929616
I remember reading New Teen Titans and my computer fucked up around the time of "Who is Donna Troy?" so I never read after that. I was surprised to find out Jericho turned evil because he really was basically the nicest guy in the series.

>>83929482
mosaic is still too subtle, they should have named him "melting pot" or 'wife son"

This all sounds really cool. Except for the Inhuman part. Couldn't he just be a generically powered super person?

Oh it's a Deadman thing, rad. namechecking Quantum Leap is a surefire way to get me in

>>83929534
>And, not to put too fine a point on it, he's black. I'm getting to add another black character to the Marvel universe that gave us the Black Panther, Cage, Falcon, Blade, Miles Morales, and Storm.

Question? How is he black if he doesn't have a body?

>>83929629

Glad I wasn't the only one who thought that

>>83929553
The good thing: is not another legacy character
The bad thing: >>83929534 another MUH DIVERSITY character
The ugly thing: He's an Inhuman

>>83929649
Body hopping and overshadowing is such an inherently evil power so it was really interesting to see it in a hero, but then it just got more generic and predictable when they kept bringing Jericho back as evil.

>>83929482
>not a legacy
>not a race/gender swap
>genuinely new hero
Well, shit, good on them. I'll be surprised if it even lasts 6 issues, but good on them for at least trying something new.

>mad he's an inhuman

dat racism

>>83929688

cause he was black before he got Inhumaned

>>83929662
Nope

Perlmutter stills wants to push his Inhumans pet project despite Feige really doesn't want to create "NotX-Men" and rather focus on making Carol interesting.

Marvel's Deadman, but without the spiritual elements. Still, it's a cool powerset that makes for good stories in the right hands.

>>83929688
He can only jump Into another black person body

cancelled in 5 issues

>shithuman

into the trash it goes

>>83929719
It sounds like he exists as a psychic entity. It's like calling Onslaught white.

>>83929482
Sooooo, Deadman?

If he wasn't a basketball player they would of made him a rapper

>>83929719
Fuck the inhumans the are opressing the white x-men

>>83929482
>Inhuman
so close

>>83929733
That would be hilarious. Like a living psychic embodiment of segregation.

>>83929771
Nah, Inhumans are the white SJW who clam their oppressed while in reality there are a bunch of dicks while Mutants represents the actual minority who keeps getting shit on.

So a rich jerk cliche black basketball player gets an additional ego boost with new power? Survives by stealing other bodies? How is this interesting?

But why?

Why not just have him somehow tie in with just the x-men or anyone else instead of the fucking inhumans?

You had one job when making a black hero and you STILL fucking blew it, Marvel. Thanks.

>>83929695
>The bad thing: >>83929534 another MUH DIVERSITY character
How is that bad when they just made a new character that's black? Sure it's silly that they feel the need to draw attention to it, but it's far better than taking an existing character and raceswapping them, so that's not really a very good reason to be upset.

>He's an inhuman
That is though

This si actual progress for Marvel it seems.

They've actually created a new character, they haven't race bent anyone to fit a quota, and it also helps that he has a unique powerset and story.

Please let this guy be as successful as Kamala

is this the first nu inhuman to have a power that also sucks some?

>>83929602
for the short run he's given before he's inevitably killed off in the latest event to drum up sales

>>83929917
Well the guy is black, no a twink and is a jerk.

I dont think /co/ will like it.

>>83929965
You never know, maybe he'll be the next Runaways.

Survive for three years or so before he's killed off.

>>83929920
Nah, there was that big head girl that was part of lashes team

>>83929881
Is the way how he say it: "I'm making a new black character, and they are paying me" "it's not a stereotypical black superhero, I love hiphop and sports, I'm adding dat to the story, and they are paying me". At least the "stuck up asshole getting a dose of reality" part sounds nice.

Inhumans book are already selling really bad ( uncanny is lower than 40 and all new inhumans is at 100 place )

I think Kamala got a boost in sale because of the "Ms marvel" tittle but this guy is new it will be really hard to push him.

Also i will be comparing this comic with the recent x-men solo we had ( storm, nightcrawler ).

>>83929998
Yeah maybe he'll go the way of Alex :^)

don't remind me. I used to call Avengers Academy Marvel's Teen Titans you can imagine my chagrin when that wound up including the deathtoll

>>83929867
>Why not just have him somehow tie in with just the x-men or anyone else instead of the fucking inhumans?

Because Fox has X-Men film and TV rights.

He enters people without consent? Of course he's going to be black

>>83929482
>black
>not even human
Marvel think they slick

>>83930099
yeah because they're gonna popout that capekino with a mosiac centrepiece movie in phase four homeslice

So he's basically the Inhuman equivalent of Proteus.

>>83930070
Hell, Ms Marvel hardly even references the Inhumans anymore. It's like Willow is doing her best to ignore the fact that Kamala herself is Inhuman.

>>83930070
>Kamala got a boost in sale because of the "Ms marvel" tittle
I really doubt the Ms. Marvel title did jack fucking shit to improve her sales.

>>83930145

This dude isn't a reality warper

>>83930068
> "stuck up asshole getting a dose of reality"

Not sure the whole occupying other people's bodies is a good message. What's stopping someone like that from taking over another rich guys body? Do whatever the hell he wants, dumping it and jumping onto the next?

>>83930145
No because proteus was also a reality warper

>>83929482

Really? He's not even shot by a guy with a hook?

>>83930211
Well, he's supposed to be an anti-hero, but you are right, guy got a helluva superpower. Hell, he could be LeBron James right now

So it's Marvel basically making their own Deadman?

>>83929482
Why would I want to read about some thug from the streets?

>>83930280

Beat you.

>>83929748
He'll probably be drawn as an astral projecting black man when not in other bodies, unlike Onslaught who was drawn as a suit of Magneto armor

>Black guy
>Literally needs to steal to survive.

How many black characters do you possibly need? Glad I hardly read American comics anymore.

>>83930430
Don't worry, the majority are still white

>>83930342
>Marvel turns a white guy to a black guy.
If they don''t race change their own characters in the name of progressiveness, they'll do it to DC's.

>>83930438

See, first thing I thought of was this guy.

>>83929482
>oringial character with no legacy
Has it finally happened /co/?
Is Marvel realizing that its stupid?

>>83930496

Once this gets canned only a couple of issues in, they'll realize that it's not worth it because no one will buy a book unless it has a well-established name.

>>83930496
He's a Inhuman.

That's a swing and a miss there.

>>83929482
>For those not up on their Marvel lore, Inhumans are...

jesus christ

>>83930496
When it doesn't sell you'll see why every character is a legacy character these days. No one cares about newfag heroes.

>Inhuman
It's like Marvel wants it to fail.

>>83929723
Both endeavors are lost causes.

>>83930551
I don't see why him being an Inhuman is such a big deal, it's just an origin like being a mutants or radioactive spider bites.

>Inhuman

How hard are they going to push this before they realize no one gives a shit about the fucking Inhumans and never did?

>>83930630

With Fox owning the X-Men, seems like Marvel is trying to push NOT-Mutants with the inhumans.

>>83930575
Inheriting the title from a legacy character doesn't necessary mean that the character will succeed. Just look at the Whore, it is cancer incarnated.

>>83929482
This whole concept, art and idea, are awful. No thank you.

>>83930603
At least Feige wants to see if he can make Carol a interesting and likeable role model as hard as that might turn out.

Perlmutter just wants to have his own X-men so that he can spite Fox.

>>83930680
Whor sucks but it sells

>>83929482
>He starts out as a beautiful and successful professional basketball player

What a weird way to describe an adult male? Also why does he have to play basketball just because he's a nigger? He couldn't have just been like an engineer?

Axel alonsi fantasy becomes true, thenguy is obsessed with black guys, rap, and basketball.Ive nerver seen a guy want to be black this bad. Also another inhuman book., whle thems books that are selling way better keep decreasing

What the hell are you talking about? You could fit most of Marvel notable black characters in a room. Shit, Marvel literally did that.

>>83930159
So far, Willow's been painting Inhumans in Ms. Marvel as bad news for Kamala's life. Lineage and Kamran, obviously, but also the implication that Medusa wants Kamala to give up her human life and move to Attilan. Lockjaw was essentially a meme-gag based on "LOL GIRLS LUV DOGS!", but he got dropped once he was no longer needed to push the Inventor arc.

>>83930788
Was it written by "I want to be black" Bendis? Feel like this is something that he would definitely do.

In regards to this Mosaic, the first thing I thought of was the chick from Stan Lee's one-shot animated film.

Watch this being like Starbrand and Nightmask, where they bring in new heroes to be a big deal only to have nobody care for them.

>>83930857
Africans don't read, Black Panther and Storm literally just exist for black Americans.

>>83930889
Starbrand and Nightmask could had been fun and interesting but the interior art is complete trash. The story equally so. Could had been doing awesome superhero stuff but nope, school drama it is.

>>83930889
If the # 1 sells Lower than 40k, is going to be canned in issue 6

>>83929758
Yeah, that's what I thought as well. Except, you know, an Inhuman, which is a shame.

>>83929482
Is this a Static Shock villain?

>>83930788

Monica Rambeau, went through a Greg Land's Halle Berry phase but went back to her classic Nextwave-inspired look.

On the other hand, they probably revive the comic and give it Bendis to ruin like what they did to Guardians of the Galaxy.

its so weird cause I'm young & black but I never see anyone younger than 30 with a bald head unless the person is balding. Its mostly older guys that do that

>>83931146

This guy is perfect for the movies. If your actor is demanding too much money you can just replace him and say he occupied someone else's body.

>>83931220
that one's a meme actually, I think there's less than five black dudes with electricity powers.

>>83931210
I'm white, 26 and I shave myself bald because I got shafted in the genes. Started going bald at 17, my mutant power is advanced male pattern baldness.

shit's weird though. I'm in the south, I live in the ghetto. Most black dudes sport dreads, braids cornrows...the occasional fro. yet to see a bald man below the age of 30. prett sure Jackson only did it because his hair was going.

>>83931146
Because it's easier for hack artists to just draw a bald head than to fuss with the often tricky to draw black man's hair.

why is every new marvel character ethnic, and why are classic characters turned ethnic or into women.

pls marvel, make it stop

>>83931522
'electricity related blasts' are discounted as a common visual effect. I half want to discount Coldcasr as their book was kind of meta. Storm is discounted as a weather witch.

anyways that's still not a lot. Might as well count up every white hero whose used a gun. Vulcan's daughter can change her density, etc. Black=Electricity is a meme.

I remember when the movie Salt came out and the gist of the advertising was asking "Who is Salt?" They never made me interested in answering it. Does this work in general?

It really is weird to call a dude beautiful. And they do it twice. I also don't really understand why, since it's not like he looks especially handsome or anything. He seems kind of plain.

Right. But I just found the description odd. Since he's a dude, and also just not very handsome or interesting to look at. Before I get accused of racism just look at Mr. Terrific. He's black and pretty good-looking. I could buy him being "beautiful." This guy? He looks like a background character, or like he'd be a part of a one-shot about real basketball players getting superpowers.

I was okay with Sam taking up the matle of Cap because of how important he was to Steve. He was the only real long term "partner" Steve even had until Bucky came back as Winter Soldier. If it had just been some random nobody off of the street, then I would have had a legitimate issue.

That being said, I hope this incentivizes both of the big two to try and give new ideas an honest chance before sweeping them under the rug in a fit of "never again!"

And then Reddit came in after them.

>new character instead of a legacy
I'm glad they're trying but he wont last.

>>83932136
Yeah, doesn't look all that great stylistically in my opinion either

>>83932084
That is bound to happen when you already have 2 Human Torches flying around instead of being grounded like Inferno. Would had been 3 if they didn't raped Toro.

>>83929758
Except Deadman doesn't need to hijack to survive. Also, he's probably less mystical in nature.

>completely new character with no legacy ties to an established name
>Inhuman

Yeah he'll last six issues at best and be quickly forgotten, only occasionally showing up in the background of big group scenes from then on.

>>83930465
That is not even close to being true.

His secret identity is Morris Saic

>>83932136

My problem was that Sam pretty much has no definitive stories. I wish they had given him some love as Falcon first.

>new character
>inhuman

Can we please stop having this be the the new cop out origin story?

Why the fuck is the Terrigenisis Cloud still even flying around earth? How has that shot not dissolved into the atmosphere or disapated?

>>83930083
I just found out recently that there are people who legitimately enjoyed Arena and think Hopeless is a great writer. I still don't really know how to process that.

>>83932311
I don't know, They said it's just part of the atmosphere now

I don't know what's worse, Marvel thinking they can just replace the Muties without anyone noticing, or the X-fags who won't stop fucking crying about it.

>>83932378
Probably, I don't remember where I read that. Maybe Moon Girl?

The worst part about it is that every single "new" superpowered character we've gotten lately has been an Inhuman. It's fucking lazy and boring.

This could be interesting, assuming they play up the whole "literally stepping into other people's shoes" thing and showing how that tempers his shitty personality.

On the other hand, giving an asshole body-stealing powers seems like a dangerous combination.

It's pretty obvious they're letting an all black team make up a new black character for one reason. Doesn't mean it's not gonna be good. Just very blatant what they're doing.

Aren't ... like all Inhuman characters not legacy characters.

Even the newest ones. Including the new ones who aren't white? Which is a lot of them.

Thank god I'm not alone in thinking this. They really should have just made some modifications to the wings so they can turn into shields when he's not in flight or something.

>>83932433

Kamala is the only one that's mattered and even then her Inhuman origin hasn't really been brought up or addressed at all lately. It feels like Wilson is trying to distance her from the general bullshit that is Inhumans as much as possible.

That's because they are pushing her between Carol and tony now. Notice how they both keep showing up, if Medusa was crammed in too it would just ruin the story.

>>83932517
During Kamala before ANAD run, it seems that she was trying to connect Kamala to the Inhumans until Willow realised that it wasn't going anywhere and ditch it.

>>83933454
I was just jesting at your complaints about the influx of Inhumans. Well anon the entire point was that the bomb made it so the cloud would hit the entire earth and go complete global saturation. Really it should have started nuclear winter. What I think happened is that originally it would hit everything, turn a bunch of people and be done with. However they decided to do the mutant thing and that extended its durations also no global saturation because that would have killed all the mutants in no time. The cloud was around for like two years between infinity and secret wars and we didn't get dead mutants untik ANAD, I don't think this was planned too far ahead so now we got the cloud doing weird shit, being everywhere, being between city and country size, and of course not dissipating.

>>83929482
I like his design and he has the potential to be a rather interesting character. But I have a feeling he'll be the new Blue Marvel in which he gets his own mini-series, appears in random comics, but on the backshelf for years, than put into a popular team.

Rich Johnston claims that Marvel wanted to give him a solo (that would explain why he was so prominent in Inhuman), but I guess Marvel realized that nobody cared about him and scrapped it. After ANAD, he's become a background character, with other Nuhumans being more prominent since they're actually interesting and aren't yet another generic flame guy.

DC's Deadman ability to inhabit bodies
And make him an Inhuman nigger because of MUH DIVERSITY

In West Marveldelphia, born and raised, on the playground is where I spent most of my days, chillin out max and relaxin all cool and shootin some B-ball outside of a school,
When a Terrigen Mist that was up to no good, starting changing people in my neighborhood

I took in one little puff and I felt kinda scared
I said "Sheeeeiit I'm a nigguh that can float in mid-air"

I looked for a body and when it came near, it had three lip piercings and neon tangerine hair

If anything I thought that this bitch was rare,
But I thought, "Nah forget it, now bitch come here!"

I, walked, into a ladies room with 7 or 8 and I yelled to the women "I'm really a nigguh!"
