ghost scar headcanons (CW for his backstory)

no tattoo/no text version & explanation under the cut

CW⚠️ discussion of child abuse, torture, self harm & sa

since i headcanon ghost to have quite a few scars, i decided to make a "character sheet" or "scar map" to keep my art more consistent.

in the drawing, the scars are already labeled and i think pretty self-explanatory, but i will go into some more detail and elaborate on my headcanons. again, please read the content warning. i did my best at trying to discuss the following in a sensitive way, but it may be upsetting to read nonetheless.

let's begin with the ones that say "mission". i imagined they are just random scars he sustained during his service over the years, like gunshot scars or knife slashes from close combat.

but others like "roba's hook", the autopsy scar, tally marks, the whip scars and his glasgow smile are from during the time where he was captured and tortured. i headcanon reboot ghost to have pretty much the same backstory as OG ghost, with some slight differences and additions of my own.

things like the glasgow smile or tally marks are made up by me, and others like the being hanged from his ribs actually happened (comics). ghost was also canonically sexually assaulted multiple times, which gave me the idea of said tally marks to emphasise how cruel his captors were.

correct me if i'm wrong, but in the comics ghost doesn't have any scars after being tortured, any cuts shown on his body just cease to exist a few panels later. but considering what he was put through, i do think that there would be permanent scarring.

now, it's also canon that ghost was abused by his father in ways like him bringing large animals such as snakes in his room to scare him, or having him watch a woman die from OD, which made me consider what the full extent of his terrible father's "parenting" must've looked like.

ghost has a small, almost faded scar under his eye, he was too young to remember how he got it, only finding out when his mother told him. his father was being neglectful when he was supposed to watch him, and simon injured himself while wandering around.

now, it is unclear in the comics if mr. riley's abuse was purely psychological, or if it extended to physical as well (again, correct me if i'm wrong). but i didn't find it unrealistic to have the latter be the case, which is why simon has cigarette burn scars on his neck and legs. his father found it amusing under the guise of "making him a man" and seeing how long little simon could take it before he would start crying. nowadays the burns are barely visible.

and lastly, the self harm scars covered up by the tattoo sleeve on his left arm. considering what simon had to go through at an early age, it is not unlikely that he might have resorted to SH as a teenager. and later, he got the tattoo as a reminder to himself that those days are his past and not his present.

i really read the comics and said:

Marvel Debuts the First 'Avengers: Infinity War' Trailer at D23: Spider Senses, Thanos and Chris Evans With a Beard

Not to slight Comic-Con's infamous Hall H, but D23, Disney's fan expo, was the place to be for any card-carrying Marvel fan. One week ahead of Marvel Studio's SDCC takeover, head honcho Kevin Feige took the stage during Walt Disney Studios' live-action panel to unveil the first trailer for Avengers: Infinity War.

"Almost every single hero that we've ever introduced is going to be in that film. Why you ask? Because of one person." Feige told the crowd, signaling the entrance of Josh Brolin, who plays the Avengers' ultimate big bad, Thanos.

As for the heroes who will take the Mad Titan? Feige introduced them one by one: Paul Bettany (Vision), Elizabeth Olsen (Scarlet Witch), Pom Klementieff (Mantis), Karen Gillan (Nebula) and Dave Bautista (Drax). Is that enough to take down Thanos?

"Drax ain't sh*t," Brolin taunted.

Next came Don Cheadle (War Machine), Sebastian Stan (Winter Solider), Anthony Mackie (Falcon) and Benedict Cumberbatch (Doctor Strange). "The only thing that could make me geek out even more is if Spider-Man swung in here," Feige said. Enter Tom Holland, followed by "king" Chadwick Boseman (Black Panther).

"I'm feeling pretty cocky," Brolin said.

"We also have a Hulk," Feige replied.

Mark Ruffalo (Bruce Banner) and his "friend from work" Chris Hemsworth (Thor) arrived, at which point Feige teased, "I guess it's worth bringing out the man who started it all." At which point Robert Downey Jr. (Iron Man) took the stage, along with one half of the Russo Brothers, who are directing Infinity War.

Joe Russo announced they are currently halfway wrapped on the movie, which hits theaters on May 4, 2018, marking the 10-year anniversary of Iron Man. He then sneakily debuted the Infinity War trailer exclusively for D23. It's nearly impossible to describe everything in the footage, but here are some quick notes to tide you over until the trailer is available for all:

It begins with Mantis declaring, "We are arriving." Peter Quill (Chris Pratt) replies, "All right, Guardians, don't forget this might be dangerous. So, let's put on our mean faces." At which point an unconscious Thor crashes into the windshield of their spaceship, is taken inside and woken up by Mantis. "Who the hell are you guys?" he asks.

Meanwhile, on Earth, Scarlet Witch uses her powers near an exploded-out bus. Loki (Tom Hiddleston) wields the Tesseract. Spider-Man's arm hairs tingle, signaling an introduction to Spidey senses. "Death follows him like a shadow," someone warns. Another voice says, "He's coming to us."

"Fun really isn't something one considers with balancing the universe," Brolin said in voice over as a shot appears of Gamora (Zoe Saldana) amid indistinct destruction. "But this does put a smile on my face." Then, from the blackness, a badass Thanos steps out in his armor.

Then the shots get quicker: Thanos is fighting the Guardians with an assist from Strange. Peter Parker fights in the Iron Spider suit from the end of Spider-Man: Homecoming. Black Panther unsheathes his claws. There's a look between Scarlet Witch and the Vision. Captain America (Chris Evans) steps out from the shadows with a beard. Black Widow (Scarlett Johansson) is blonde. The Hulk Buster. "Tony, I'm fine," a clearly injured Peter Parker says. "I'm sorry."

The teaser ends with Thanos decking Iron Man using the Infinity Gauntlet, noticeably missing at least two gems. Still, he uses the glove to make a planet explode, if I'm not mistaken, and make fire rain from the skies. As the screen faded to black, the crowd stood to give a standing ovation and I couldn't help but scream, "HOLY SH*T!"
