Mirymate Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 You mean like Spike from X-Men: Evolution? IIRC, Marrow came first. Yep. But she wasn't included on the show for a couple reasons- she's boarderline psychotic on a good day and thought to be a little too dark for kids' TV. Second, she's caucasian (if magenta) and they wanted a young minority character in their core cast. So they took Marrow's powers and gave them to an invented nephew of Storm's.

Gillbob316 Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 As someone who likes Marrow (duh, I started the Marrow talk in this thread) I wouldn't call her borderline psychotic on a good day... meanie. (lol) Maybe borderline psychotic on a bad day... lol... But she's had many good days where she was perfectly personable. I remember a story where her and Colossus went on a road trip and bonded... which was right around when I started to like her as a character. Her mood seems to fluxuate under the helm of different creative teams, and how pretty or ugly she is at the time, lol... Ugly Marrow (Gene Nation) hates the world and wants to kill us all! Pretty Marrow (Late X-Men, Weapon X) can be down-right friendly and up-beat. Medium Marrow (the one in her early X-Men days and MvC2, which has pretty much become her definative look) seems just personable enough to work with a team, but just rough around the edges enough to get on everyones nerves. The girl was raised in a hellish kill-or-be-killed parralel universe and has trust issues stemming not only from most-everyone she ever met trying to kill her for a large chunk of her life, but also from a severe lack of self-confidance in her physical appearance! Cut her some slack! Marrows anger is written just like Juggernaut's attempts to reform... a nice well-meaning writer makes them a permanent cast member of a book he's on for a few years... fleshes out their character and personality... gives them lots of positive strides... helps them get their problems under control... gets people behind them by showing their more vulnerable sides and their concern for their teammates... Then that book gets cancelled... as all secondary X-Men titles inevitably do after a few years... and the characters return to limbo... Then some other jerk brings them back a few months later for a 1-off appearance in some other story on HIS X-Book, and completely pisses on all the postive strides they made in their last book by returning them to "Grr! I'm mean! I hate you all and I ain't never gonna do no good ever again! It was all a mistake and I hate the world, because this writer needs me to be a villain for one story!" *Smash* *Punch* *Angry Face* How come Emma gets a solid reformation that people don't mess with but people always have to be backsliding Marrow and Juggernaut! LEAVE JUGGERNAUT AND MARROW ALONE! (lol...) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nessex Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 I mostly agree Gilbo. However, i also get a bit sick of villains reforming. It seems to be an ongoing story trick at Marvel, especially within the X-Men. In the current Jean Grey School we have: Rogue, Gambit (although it was ret-conned villainous beginning), Rachel Grey, Frenzy, Toad & some kind of Krakoa descendant. The Utopian X-Men boasts Magneto, Namor, the White Queen, & Sebastian Shaw. Not to mention the attempts to turn Deadpool, Sabretooth, Mystique, Quicksilver, Scarlet Witch, Vanisher, Calisto etc . . . into heroes with varying degrees of success. I'd be happier if someone like the Juggernaut stayed a villain, but sometimes had to begrudgingly work with the X-Men. That said - Writers often do handle the side-switching reasonably well. I personally never cared for MArrow when she got soft. She was suddenly a lot less interesting to read. But this is, of course, just my opinion.

But this is, of course, just my opinion. I too prefer Cain as a villain, more mercenary than murderous. I think he wants to reform on some level, cause he kinda likes some of the X-folks at this point. But he doesn't like the rules and obligations that come with trying to be righteous. Being' the "bad guy" is a whole lot easier, especially when yur the Juggernaut. Marrow... her angry Morlock upbringing defined who she was as much as her powers. That harsh raising she received meant that any personal reversal she suffered meant she was right back to being dangerously angry. The instability in her powers that kept her from getting the general acceptance most Morlocks craved, And it was inevitable that she was going to eventually become a dangerous terrorist again. Of course since M-Day the question remains moot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
youbastards Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 Zach, are you able to share the official names for the 'mates for this wave yet, assuming 'Drunken Hobo Thor' isn't the solicitation name? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did not get creative with this wave, sorry. Aside from Ant-Man II, they all get their standard codenames. I'll see if it's too late, but I'm pretty sure it is. I'll try to be more creative with Wave 47/14. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

karamazov80 Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 Okay, back on topic: Dr. Druid. I was recently reminded of this little gem, and I wanted to make sure you all got to see it: Ah, memories...

Mirymate Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 Black Knight and Falcon are so woefully overdue that it's past being unfunny and is funny again. Nah, it's still not funny. Nope. Not at all. Dane would finish out the Avengers up to v1 #100, Falcon would go a long way to finishing up the roster up to #200. (past that there's a veritible membership explosion) Hee,hee I guess Druid's not a hit with the ladies. Druid's not that popular with anyone, really. Speaking from experience, balding with a pot belly is never a big draw with the ladies. Druid did have an undead ghost girlfriend for a while. Which sounds a lot like "my girlfriend I met at on vacation who lives out of state." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ImABarRoomHero Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 Anyone else getting way more excited for this wave than we initially were? Can't wait to see all of the accessories and to get my hand's on those Pym's. I think this whole wave looks great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dj87 Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 Haven't ordered them yet, as they're certainly not top priority just now, but I too am really up for the Ant Men (1 Pym, 1 Lang ). No doubt I'll be after the Iron Man as well, cool armour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lobsterman Posted March 27, 2012 Author Share Posted March 27, 2012 (edited) Most recent ship date update says 4/25, so probably within a week or two of that. Early May? Edited March 27, 2012 by Lobsterman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luke314pi Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 I will let you guys know as soon as Diamond has them "on the water". EDIT: I just checked, and the list was updated today, and these are officially "on the water", which usually puts them at 3 weeks out.

winkerbean Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 These are the only two I have so far, but if you'll let me, I'll gladly throw Hulk and Iron Man propaganda at you as well.
