I did a small fix of the hijab in a Betsy Braddock: Captain Britain panel which I didn't end up using, so I've put it here as well!

Undying Avengers Issue 2: Lighthouse Siege! by Conner Thrakaboom and Gene @avengerphobic

Faiza Hussain waves back to the girl with a smile as she comes up to the Braddock Lighthouse. She has both her medical bag with her and the sword Excalibur in its disguise as a backpack.

Dane happily welcomes Faiza at the entrance to the Braddock Lighthouse. 

“Hi. You look…” Dane struggles for a word to describe how captivating she is. It is hard to look away from her as old feelings come rushing back like his heart had been stone again until this moment. He settles for a word that barely scratches the surface of how lovely she is. “Wow. Is that a new hijab?”

Faiza realizes that they haven’t seen each other in person since Dane ghosted her. They’ve started talking again since then, but only as friends. Dane wasn't on the MI13 anymore, meaning they didn’t even see each other as coworkers. She had missed him. 

“I wore it when we played cricket,” she says and resists the urge to tell him he looks healthier than the last time she saw him. Instead, she asks after her newest patient.  

She is somewhat flustered, picking at the sleeve of her floral top. It isn’t every day that she is asked to help Captain Marvel. Faiza may have always preferred the British superheroes, but Captain Marvel was always her favorite of the yanks. She had the action figures and everything

 “She’s not Captain Marvel anymore,” Dane tells her as if she isn’t still Captain Marvel to him, forever and always. “You can just call her Monica. You’re going to love her. And she’s going to love you, of course.”

Dr. Faiza Hussain / Excalibur from Captain Britain and MI13 (vol 1)

Absolutely badass

Faiza Hussain AKA Excalibur of Earth-616

[celadons-penultimate]

Dear Marvel: Please put Excalibur / Dr. Faiza Hussain in more stuff. 😌🙏🏿

More than just the diversity aspect, she's a medical doctor & an accomplished combatant, gifted w/ mutant powers of biological manipulation (similar to Elixir) & was deemed worthy to wield the magical sword Excalibur (hence her admittedly uncreative hero name).

She even became Captain Britain at one point in another continuity!

Like, I know not all mutants join the X-Men. And she's already teamed up w/ Captain British before (MI-13, look it up). Still, she's a British woman (Pakistani British, check the hijab) who wields the literal magical sword Excalibur from Arthurian legend & bears its name as her own hero moniker.

💁🏿‍♂️If nothing else, Excalibur should wield the sword Excalibur in service of Captain Britain's British mutant superhero team, EXCALIBUR. 🤷🏿‍♂️

When I was a kid I used to insert myself in literally every media I watch read consume. Like I created an oc in my mind and make them fit somewhere in there without breaking original story. Or myself like wish I was a superhero type. Normal things we all did I think.

But also as a kid I was extremely religious. Like the moment I knew myself I was religious and I was so sincere about it.

I believed in Allah and loved Allah with my whole heart and memorise every prophets story in Qur'an, and also memorize Suras as summertime hobbies and God I loved fasting and Being hijabi when I was a little more older was my own voluntary choice and I loved it so much too. It was never hard for me or it was never for my parents or society I genuinely believed voluntarily and I loved it.

And now when I was inserting myself to this stories there was like one rare thing that make me sad about me being religious. And it was that I don't fit in. I want to so much think myself as a mutant for example but cmon how I could fit in there. Like I need to pray but superheroing have no time praying or tight clothes are haram or how the other characters see me weird and hate me probably etc.

Theennnn I am seeing Faiza Hussain I think. She was the first Muslim character I saw I'm comics and I was like so so happy obsessed. I read her but I don't remember them now but I loved her. Like she was kinda modern type of Muslim but I thought she was still yeah good.

Theeeeen I saw Dust a niqabi girl (I was not niqabi but so many people in my family were so it's something familiar and close to me). And she was praying. And she was readin Qur'an. And she was giving attention to Islamic rules. And she was doing fine mostly. Surge was yeah bad at first but I also loved it too because it was realistic. Or Rockslide helping her to hide herself when she have her hair open etc. Like it was good things it was bad thing but close to real.

And I loved it I literally protected myself into her. If she can then I can too without giving what I believe can still live the life I want be part of things I want.

Anyways I don't know why I did write this actually I think it was about Muslim characters and me and also me wanting characters that written realistically instead of idilistic wonderful lives with full of acceptance. Like yeah write a trans hijabi girl I was one for a while but it's more complex you can't just make them like your average character but just wear hijab it's more more complex then that. It doesn't feel like something to care about as representation. But you know this is probably extremely personal preference.

And last thing I am not Muslim anymore like for years ago I left it. I don't believe even supernatural now. But still I am very culturally Muslim even when I am not realising it. And people I love is Muslim. I have trauma but I don't have problems with positive sides of religion or people finding happiness on it.

So yeah it makes me happy good Muslim representation and also because of this I want ex-muslim religious trauma suffering characters without being Islamaphobic. But also without being extremely woobified. Like not a perfect wonderful minority. Because Muslims not even minority in most of places and so so so flawed people but also not Devils with objectively bad religion. Your average Muslim is literally same as your average Christian. In fact same as your average Buddhist or Jewish too. I knew it because I met this people and we are literally same when it's not about our religions. Yeah flawed human characters.

I usually have no problems here oversharing and putting cringe nonsense etc. but this feels embarrassing I think because it is too personal?? I just wanted to write something about Muslim characters in comics. Anyways I want diverse and realistic many dimensional religious people not only Muslims but other religions too.

What happens to a hero whose country doesn’t want them? It sounds almost unfathomable to believe such a thing would happen to anyone who helped defend their nation. The thing is, that is exactly what happens to many Veterans when they come home. It is even worse for anyone of color who is a Veteran, as there are countless accounts of history which shows the deep rooted hate towards Black veterans…

Undying Avengers Issue 4: the Lady's Favor by Conner Thrakaboom and Gene @avengerphobic

Snarls and howling fill the air as Monica and Dane are overwhelmed by wolves. It is a wild hunt, unbearably loud and unbearably violent. Monica rises above the violence and fires shots at them, but for every one she and Dane fell, another ten take their place.

Monica desperately tries to wrack her mind for memories she just can’t reach. They are on the tip of her tongue, phantom thoughts that she hasn’t used in years. “I know I know a way to deal with this magic. I just need to think,” she says as she lasers another wolf down, who yelps. 

“Can you think faster? I’m getting overwhelmed here!” Dane yells up as he is getting- literally- dogpiled. 

A wolf claws his belly and hot blood blossoms on his tunic. It’s nothing to him, he knows pain, but he cries out anyway from the shock of it and stabs through the wolf. “It’s like they’re targeting us specifically!”
