How the fuck does she wear the helmet?
>>
>>88846683
Holy fuck this. I dont really have a problem with Duke's character, its just that I want writers to stop adding to the bloated bat-family because they want to leave their mark on Batman. At least make him a next gen thing when Bruce is retired, or better yet, why not make Duke and Harper part of Dick Grayson's team in Bludhaven? Also side note, that costume is shit. Its the most "just fucking shoot me" getup that makes Wally West look subtle

Speaking of Harper, she is even more useless and pointless than Duke. I wish they would just kill her off already.

They get that way if you leave them out in the sun too long.
>>
>>88847024
They kinda did. She retired after B&RE. I'm a few issues behind in Tec but she was background at best in that. I honestly expected Duke to do the same when Bruce came back and I still think it will happen at the end of All Star.
>>
>>88847156
Tynion hinted on Twitter that she'll eventually be back in a costume.

Why doesn't Polaris deserve to exist? She's one of the earliest members of the X-Men.

She's the last Magneto spawn standing.

Anya's dead, Wanda and Pietro and their kids have been retconned out of the family tree, even the clone Joseph is dead

>killing off a fan favorite
Nope.
>>
>>88847259
Boco you faggot, Harley was good in BTAS
>>
Silk and Spider-Gwen started around the same time and fill similar roles. I think one of them needs to go but not sure which one.
>>
>>88847285
Joseph came back in Magneto: Not a Hero.
>>
>>88847218
She is a powerset clone of Magneto and exists mostly for relationship drama and Magneto is your father! yes/no drama.
>>
>>88847445
I thought silk was alright in some of the early storytimes of her comic. Spider-gwen seems to just be a nice costume design.
>>
>>88847024
>>88847156
Eh, Harper wasnt terrible, she just didnt really add anything to the team (like Duke). Problem is "tech gal" doesnt really mean jack when Batman, Alfred, and Oracle (fuck you, shes better off that way) already have that covered. Hence if you want either Duke or Harper to stick around, perhaps it'd be best for them to help Dick out
>>
Awful character. Storylines have always been shit, never really comes off as badass as writers try to make her out to be. Pretty much just a fapbait character, no different than Zealot or any other fighter chick from the '90s except the modern age of comics means she can't even be that anymore.

>>88845399
His mini is good though even if the entire point of it is that even if he tries to do good he's a terrible superhero.
>>
>>88848373
Silk is "comfy Spider-lady book", Spider-Gwen, at least when the writer is actually writing about her and not just meandering around to show off the rest of Earth-63 or whatever it's called, is the bitterness and melodrama of the early Spider-Man books.

W-what's wrong with Zealot man.

She's never been well defined outside Magneto and no one will put in the effort at this point.
>>
>>88847285
>Wanda and Pietro and their kids have been retconned out of the family tree
Wait, what? Could I get a summary?

I mean, I'm not exactly surprised, but it did catch me a little off-guard.
>>
>>88849708
Their real mother is the sister of their adoptive mother and no one should listen to that fucking lying cow Bova.
>>
>>88849813
So, the idea is that Magneto boinked their original mother, but not their actual biological mother?

So, they were sort of his "adopted" kids instead or something?
>>
>>88843632
I dug her in X-Factor.
>>
>>88849708
The High Evolutionary said that they weren't mutants the last time the Avengers were captured by him.
He claimed they were his personal science project to create powers in humans.
>>
>>88849989
That was the first comic that actually tried to make her a character interested in more than just being a crazy person, hostage, or crazy hostage person.
>>
>>88843632
I like polaris

>>88848636
i like psylocke


there is no problem with either of these characters.

if there are any characters that have never been good it superman, iron man, nick fury and cyclops

Everytime I see this question, I'm astounded by how stupid people are. It's fucking hair not concrete, it'll just go down with compression.
>>
>>88850164

Wow, way to start a fight. Of course I half agree with you and will half fight you on this...

Polaris was basically an afterthought of a character from her inception, but that doesn't mean that she doesn't deserve to have existed. I like "Green Genderbend Magneto", she's a great legacy for him.
Psylocke is a bit of a tougher character to justify: she's an amazing example of X-Men comics going overboard with their weird convoluted character developments. It would take me several posts to tell you every screwy thing they've done with her. It's quite a cautionary tale for future writers.

Superman sucks. The guy is everything shallow about cape comics rolled up in one unavoidable example.
Tony is a dick. I hate him so very very much. And that is why he's a great character. You have to respect how human they've made him that you can actually hate him as a person that much.
Nick Sr.? or Nick Jr.? The original was finally retired to MoonMan status after a "with-enough-prep-time" plot-armor problem that was shameful writing. And Jr. doesn't have the same rep as an unbeatable superspy, which was the only selling point to a Nick Fury existing. Sam Jackson's face can't make up for that.
And Cyclops is a tranny.
>>
>>88850474
Oh, go drink yourself to death in Baltimore, that's what happened in the comics.
>>
>>88850646
It's a racism joke that Klan types have been repeating about all black folks for a lot longer than Iron-girl has existed.
This is just /pol/ trying to destroy /co/ with their constant flamewar bullshit again.
>>
>>88847489
And it ended with him dying
>>
>>88850889
What happened with that teleporter gal with all the alien tech?
She's the one that cloned Joe in the first place, if she ever wants him back it won't be that hard.
They kept bringing back the Marauders with the whole cloning tech excuse. It's not like it would be that unexpected a plot twist.
>>

>>88849936
Their real mother is Natalya Maximoff, her brother was Django Maximoff.
The High Evolutionary kidnapped the twins at birth and experimented on them to give them their "mutant" powers. Natalya was apparently a powerful gypsy sorceress who also called herself the Scarlet Witch (and Wanda just happened to choose the same name because of legacy, even though her powers had nothing to do with magic for decades), she attacked the High Evolutionary and died trying to retrieve the twins. When HE was done with them he sent them back to Django and Marya anyways.

Django and his wife Marya raised Pietro and Wanda until their origin when the townsfolk burnt down their family wagon in fear of Wanda and Pietro's powers. Both Django and Marya were assumed to have died in the fire and the twins joined Magneto's Brotherhood.

Django returned years later, attacked the Avengers and tried to control Wanda and Pietro with magical dolls. And then he died.

Marya was revealed to be alive in Wanda's solo, her face scarred by the fire and living in isolation.

Based on solicits Natalya is just lost, not dead, and Wanda is currently journeying on the Witches' Road to retrieve her.

Of course this doesn't really explain Luminous, the other High Evolutionary creation who had the powers of both twins (even though Chaos magic doesn't actually exist. Again)
>>
>>88851103
And I just have to mention this every time someone explains Wanda history: She can alter reality.

Any character that can alter reality at will has a multiple choice personal history. Just look at Kang.
>>
>>88850693
look at the origins of scarlet witch and quicksilver
polaris is better

>psylocke is screwy
i completely agree. i will shamelessly admit that i dig tall, hot asian ninjas with british accents in purple outfits with butterfly psi-auras for nothing more than the novelty. i also prefer her because she's a psychic but not over the top like jean grey was

both of the nicks as far as i care kind of suck. maybe i'm biased because S.H.I.E.L.D. seems so fascist/federalist to me. they almost never help the mutants either
>>
>>88849989

these. also in x-men unlimited 6 she and jean saved cyclops and havok. the wimmenz saved their boys

>>
>>88850104
She had an okay arc leading up to and during the Muir Island Saga.

Malice used her as a skinsuit, so that's not really a Polaris story, though it might have led to something later on that I don't know about.

Those kinds of things are never final.
Hell, Scarlet Witch depowered herself on M-day and then one day simply decided to have powers again.
And David is much more indecisive.
>>
>>88853495
David became whole before reaching that idea. He knew what he was doing and hoe to do it.

Maybe Richards remade the universe with him or he will be remade from Blindfold's memories
>>
>>88853751
All it'll take is some sort of afterlife lapse in sanity and some part of him will drag the rest back, it's happened before.
