BW's "Yesterday's" Comic> Mystery Men Comics #2

Artist’s representation of Twitter decades before its creation. Mystery Men Comics #2 Fox Features Publications (September, 1939) Wonderworld Comics just wasn’t holding my interest. Outside of The Flame and a couple of other comics most of them I could do without or even ignored come review time (like Don Quixote’s modern day adventures). Hopefully Mystery Men will have better luck. I started…

The problem with being a fan of both Gambit and Tim Drake is that their respective comic companies have no idea what they're doing with my favorite characters.

Gambit has "LOOK, A MYSTERY! How does he know legit everyone? This information is a surprise tool that will help us later!" except they never ever reveal what the mystery is because they don't know either. Which has basically been happening since his origin in the 90s.

Tim Drake hasn't had a unique storyline since 2009 with Red Robin (yes, I count the 2022 Tim Drake Robin because they backtrack him into Robin). In the Red Robin comic series, they establish that Red Robin is essentially punishment for him, Tim's only really been special for his role as Robin, and this is a transition period to get him elsewhere. And then they just NEVER gave him anything else. He's STILL Red Robin. Sometimes he's back to Robin and sharing the mantle with Damian, which is WORSE.

Writers, I love my characters. Please stop backtracking their character development IN THEIR OWN COMIC RUNS.

Magik sleeps in a 'Magneto was right' T-shirt

I confess that I missed this on my first read through, but if you squint you'll notice a framed picture of the New Mutants. Next to that is one with Piotr in it and some other people. (Parents maybe?) Next to that is Magik and you can just make out the 'Magneto was right' font, though his helmeted head is obscured. That's just fantastic, but I have questions.

Who made this merch? Does Mags get a cut? I believe it first shows up on Quentin Quire during Riot at Xavier's in New X-Men. It's likely that he paid someone to screen print it, and he does have considerable wealth, or did. He doesn't seem the type to start a business, but I could see him getting maybe 50-200 made. Mags himself wasn't around to complain about it (kinda) so maybe he's been lugging around this box of Magneto Was Right shirts since then. He and Magik live together, so it's not a stretch that he gave her one.

Although... Magneto is world famous. Everyone knows who this guy is. Kenji Uedo knew who he was before he was a mutant and considered himself a fan. He had a Magneto Was Right poster (signed) in his room on Utopia and he explicitly arrived with no possessions. Mags was around at this time and he presumably signed it himself. So that's two different kinds of MWR merch - I swear I've seen others too. Help me get to the bottom of this if you know of others. Quentin is my prime suspect but 'some capitalist' is not far behind.

I'm wondering something and it's something that was left unanswered in a Scarlet Witch story.

so let's continue with my crazy theories (mainly why they forgot the story)

Magda and Natalya are the same person

Magda's design has always changed and the main detail that Wanda has always had is Magda's life image, even today they continue to resemble each other.

Likewise, Pietro is the spitting image of Magnus (literally his younger version)

then in a scarlet witch story, where she discovers who her mother could be, being natalya (the original scarlet witch)

First of all, I saw people who confuse the relationship between Natalya and Django and they are brothers, in the same comic they say so

both were witches of the Maximoff family

and here are the details, when wanda finds the spirit or whatever of her mother, she says: "and I am known by many names, the most used... scarlet witch"

and that's where it's hinted that she had another name than "Natalya" and she did try to get her children back from the high evolver.

dying in the attempt, although it was revealed later that her partner (Pietro and Wanda's father who knows nothing about him) killed her.

Although Agatha knows about Wanda's mother and she knows things and she asked Wanda not to look any further.

and here the high evolver takes a role, we know how very son of a bitch he can be and we know that it was because of him that the whole mess between Pietro and Wanda started

so it makes me think about several things and this is my own chronological order of things

Magda and Django are born (I don't even know how old they are) both witches from the Maximoff family, Natalya being the most prominent being "Scarlet Witch"

She at one point moves away from her family, becoming better known as "Scarlet Witch." She decided to change her name several times and eventually met the father of her children Erik Eisenhardt Magneto in the future.

They had their first daughter Anya and then the fire would happen but... what if it wasn't for Erik that caused the fire? What if it was by Magda (Natalya) in an attempt to teach Anya magic so that she could also be a witch like her?

Feeling guilty and in an attempt to protect her love, she called him a monster and walked away from him even though she knew she was pregnant with the twins.

And here it would be confusing to arrange things and it makes me think, Boba did help Magda give birth but she thought she was a magical creature and as a result the High Evolutionary ended up snatching her children and doing experiments with them

Magda tried to get them back and the High Evolutionary took the opportunity to emotionally manipulate Magda (Natalya) and make her think that Magneto killed her when he was the one.

and let's see it's still a crazy theory and in my opinion it fits

Yes, Wanda's spell only affected Prieto, but think about how many experiments the High Evolutionary did on them? There could have been too many to even change their DNA in such a way that their magic could only detect Pietro as familiar.

Also, how many versions the High Evolutionary gave of the twins' past, they even still look like Magda and Magneto

Even another theory I have for this theory is that Anya could have been a Witch because of her mother.

Anyway, thank you for reading my Theory, all crazy but with some sense (at least for me)

something that makes me sad is when people tell me the healthy communication in my writing is "unrealistic."

like guys this is how me and my partner talk with eachother... I'm writing from personal experience...

Wolverine and Gambit: Victims (1995)

[wanderingmind867]

The last x-men story i have to read: an explanation of Jean Grey's powers written by Linda Fite. I don't even know if Linda Fite is still alive. Information on her online is sparse. But as one of Marvel's only and earliest female writers, I think it's interesting how little I can find on her. But I think her writing was pretty good here, in any case. (X-Men #57):

my hot take for the day is that I trust the average straight man more than straight women who romance astarion with their twink elf male tav who’s been modded to the extreme

1988's Wolverine Vol.2 #1 cover by John Buscema & Al Williamson.

Heritage Auctions : "The iconic cover from Wolverine's first solo ongoing series ! What can we say about this monumental piece of comic history ? Not only did this series cement the clawed Canadian as one of the most popular comic characters, but the stunning artwork was created by Marvel mainstay John Buscema. This image fronted the issue that took the character, best known for his gruff/no-nonsense attitude and elite fighting skill as a member of the X-Men, and presented a different persona to the world, where Logan (as Patch) lived and thrived in the crime-ridden world of Madripoor, dealing out his own personal brand of justice. A departure from the character fans had known, the series revealed more sides of the deadly mutant were discovered as his mysterious past was slowly uncovered. All that was kicked off by this eye-catching shot of Wolverine on a pile of bodies, claws popped and standing the moonlight. Most comic collectors of the late 80s will recall the feeling of grabbing this off the shelves, evoking a sense of nostalgia just at the sight of this piece ! A true Marvel gem ! Ink and screentone over graphite and blue pencil on Bristol board with an image area of 9.75" x 15". Slight toning, stat logo/header paste-ups, acetate overlay with stat text paste-up taped at the top, staple/pinholes and tape registration marks in the margins, scratch effects, marginal notes, with light smudging and handling wear. In Very Good condition. Includes a copy of the comic and John Buscema's signature on a piece of board."
