How Marvel's New Superhero Developed Inflammatory Bowel Disease

>The story starts off conventionally enough for a comic book: A handsome and brilliant young scientist invents an advanced suit of armor, nurses a crush on the girl next door, and harbors a dark secret.

>But here’s the thing that sets our hero, Samarium, apart from the nearly 10,000 characters already created by Marvel Comics: He’s got inflammatory bowel disease.

> Custom Solutions takes that real-world market penetration further by creating superheroes designed to appeal to very specific clienteles, including the roughly 1.6 million Americans currently suffering from IBD.

>It’s also an illness that, despite awareness raising efforts over the last several years, isn’t the easiest to diagnose. Simply put, people are embarrassed to go to the doctor and talk about uncontrollable diarrhea, vice-grip constipation, or IBD’s many other unpleasant evils. These people need someone on their side.

>“It wasn’t about needing to be a superhero to live with IBD; it was much more about how everybody has some part of their identity that may be hidden, and has a life that they live beyond that hidden identity,” Rubin explained. “The whole point of this character and creating a superhero was to teach people that despite any kind of illness or disability that you can be an extraordinary person in many ways.”

1.6 Americans according to the article.

This new character, whenever they arrive, it'll probably be a woman btw, will be absolutely at peace with what they are. They'll be designed to show pedophillia, not themselves, in a good light.

Eh the Orange juice guy was a fine hero compared to this one, had a much better look even though he only existed as a mascot for Florida's OJ
>>
The funniest part is, this is dead from the start as a concept. Because the guy is a hero and will see lots of action, but they'll never have him shit himself during his heroing, despite that being the most likely time for that. So you get a hero with the shits who can control his shit with no problem, which defeats the entire point.

Also, they straight up say having diarrhea is something too embarassing for most people, yet they expect those same people to go in comic stores and buy the adventures of poopypants man.

If anything, Marvel ought to write about supers with rare and actually debilitating conditions that really could use more recognition (read: funding for research). But we all know that won't happen due to their writers' and executive's collective superpower to function without a spinal cord.
>>
>>86577266
What are his powers and how OP is he?
>>
>>86577358
But rare and debilitating conditions are rare and debilitating. Rare and debilitated people don't go out and buy lots of comic books.
Because yes, they're apparently doing that to pander to people with chronic shits. It's fucking amazing. Marvel needs to fire their entire marketing department, because they're very quickly turning into parody.
>>

IIRC he was some kind of solar-powered, low-key Green Lantern (as in made hard light constructs but not everything you can think of level, mostly simple stuff)

He's sort of like a solar-powered green lantern, has these pods that absorb sunlight and then let him do stuff like create objects or fire energy blasts, also gives him the ability to fly.

Also the ability to prolcaim to others the wonder of drinking your orange juice, its one of your daily 5!
His family have an orange grove or something, its where he found the sun pods that give him his powers.

>>86577407
You hit the nail on the head. The sole reason they chose to inflict this on a superhero is because it's common and intractable enough to be a real issue, yet embarrassing enough to avoid public discussion (in person, at least). Worst of all, they'll just pay lip service to it for brownie points due to the reasons >>86577268 gave; they simply can't get down to grips with it without disgustingly derailing the story. You'd think they'd at least have enough intelligence to have the hero angst over a skin condition.

It's a bad idea with worse execution, and the only thing it has going for it are people whose egos are as easily stimulated as their digestive tracts.

Imagine you had the power to make people shit their pants.

Even if you couldn't maintain it to the point the target suffered dehydration you'd still be a menace, no respectable hero could fight you.
Even if they beat you no problem they still have to deal personally with the aftermath.

Because Superman could just not eat anything for a few days, then he'd have nothing to shit out.

Sunfire is just shooting you with fire or giving you cancer via radiation, because Nagasaki and Hiroshima.

It really is closer to green lantern with the objects made out of sunlight energy side to it.
