My commission of Triton vs Black Manta sketch cover by Jason "Spyda" Adams

We continue our Crisis of Infinite Earths in the ocean depths of Earth-616. The Inhuman Triton recognizes a villainous foe when he sees one. Can he get past the feeling there is evil in the Black Manta before the Anti-Monitor destroys his universe? Is Black Manta there to assist or betray?

Inhumans vs X-Men triple sketch card for Upper Deck's Marvel Premier 2021/2023 set, featuring Karnak, Gorgon, Black Bolt, Magneto, Jean Grey, & Medusa, and Emma Frost

I like The Inhumans, but learning about them makes me uncomfortable. I've complained that Captain America's Super Soldier Serum feels like Eugenics (and I won't budge on that), but now let's discuss the Inhumans. Because they're a bit nasty too. And again: I still like Medusa and Black Bolt and Gorgon and Karnak and all them. But their people's history is disturbing.

To skim the wikipedia page: The Kree made the Inhumans more intelligent than regular humans. Then they left shortly after. During that time, the Inhumans discover the terrigen mists and learn it gives them hideous deformities that sometimes manifest into superpowers. So then they employ selective breeding and eugencics to make themselves into the perfect civilization. Which, I don't know. Considering their king can't talk for fear of killing earth, the king's brother went mad and dreams to coup the throne and that one of the king's cousins can't survive outside of water due to these mists, I think it's safe to say The Inhumans are more messed up than humanity.

Also, The Inhumans have slaves called Alpha Primitives. That's kind of sick and messed up. Really, The Inhumans need some severe aid to combat their history of eugenics. All you need to do is destroy the terrigen mists. Get rid of them and the suffering stops. So that'd be my step one. Get rid of the terrigen mists! For Christ's Sakes!

whyyy do people keep listing Hank being allies with the Inhumans as if its as bad as all the other shit he's done

[leigh-mccoy]

Hank during Inhumans vs Xmen: WHY are we jumping to all out war??? I won't be a part of this. I'm going back to my lab to figure out how to solve this problem WITHOUT killing people

Storm and the other mutants, attacking Hank and imprisoning him: Wow Hank i can't believe you'd betray us like that :'(

Force fem Terrigen Mists send tweet

[willdoeswrite]

Dick: Okay, let me see if I got this right. You were bitten by a radioactive spider that altered your DNA.

Peter: That is correct.

Dick: So, that makes you a Mutant?

Peter: Eh, not actually. By definition, I am not under the umbrella term of Mutant, since my powers didn’t occur naturally with the X-gene.

Dick: Okay, inhuman?

Peter: Again, no. Inhumans are descendants of people who were experimented on by the Kree, and their powers only appear when introduced to Terrigen mist.

Dick: So, you are a super soldier?

Peter: Those are people who’ve been injected with one of the various versions of the super soldier serum, which I, and the spider, didn’t have.

Dick: Then what are you considered?

Peter: A Mutate, someone who got their powers through their genetic structure being altered by an outside force.

Dick: Like a meta human?

Peter: Meta human is a catch-all term that means anyone born with, or obtained later, superhuman abilities. It’s the answer to most of these questions.

Dick: Wait so, does that also include Superman? He has ‘superpowers’ here but on Krypton didn’t they all have his abilities so they wouldn’t be super?

Peter: Kind of. Superman’s superpowered abilities appear because of our Sun’s yellow solar radiation. Krypton had a Red Sun, so on Krypton Superman would be a normal person. But he is just considered an alien.

Dick: My head hurts.

Peter, patting Dick on the back: That happens. Don’t worry, I didn’t get started on the Eternals, Deviants, New Gods, and the Heralds vs Avatar debate.

i’ve seen a few comments recently about kamala’s marvel girl appearance in which she’s wearing a tighter ‘leggier’ outfit, and most are agreeing with the fact that it’s written to portray her family as an racist stereotype (which i agree with), but some of the sentiments that her outfit is fine and that she can wear what she wants (also true) seem to be missing the point of kamala’s character.

kamala wearing a superhero costume that isn’t extremely form-fitting does appeal to muslim/desi girls because of the representation it provides, but that’s also exactly the reason kamala chooses to do this in the first place.

at the very beginning of her story, she stumbles into the terrigen mist and hallucinates her hero, captain marvel. immediately, she expresses the desire to be as beautiful as she is. this includes being white, blonde, and wearing a ‘politically incorrect’ old costume of hers — meaning skimpy and impractical.

(ms marvel (2014) #1)

when kamala’s powers manifest, she automatically shapeshifts into a younger version of captain marvel, old costume and all. the only thing she can think about is how she doesn’t feel like herself. she’s literally wearing another girl’s face and she’s coming to the realisation that wearing her costume makes her feel wrong.

(ms marvel (2014) #2)

there’s a lot of self-reflection and kamala realises she feels most like herself when she’s wearing what she wants to wear and not a costume that she doesn’t feel comfortable moving around in. also, her powers are embiggening herself — she literally needs the wiggle room.

(ms marvel (2014) #4)

kamala’s clothes, desi clothes, they’re all so important to south asian culture and it really is a bigger deal than some people think it is. for her story, they act as a way for kamala to realise her self-worth as a brown, muslim superhero and as a teenage girl who is about to be under the scrutiny of the public.

artists representing her being happy with tighter, shorter clothes aren’t being progressive, they’re erasing character development right from the beginning of her story and doing the exact opposite of what they think they’re criticising.

and as for kamala’s father:

you can’t convince me he’s anything other than supportive of kamala and the new storylines they’re trying to hit us with of a family that would be ashamed of kamala… ridiculous and offensive. this is literally only 5 issues into kamala’s solo run.

#Earth199 — Kamala Khan was a huge fan of superheroes, especially Carol Danvers a.k.a. Starbrand. After the Terrigen Mist, she gained amazing abilities and now acts as Ms. Star, following the same heroic path as her idol!

Black Lightning #1 just came out

If this limited series sells well enough, Jefferson could finally get the respect he deserves in an ongoing main title.

A lot of this issue seems to be preparing the audience for two things.

1. Black Lightning is a premiere A list now

where he BELONGS

2. We're doing X-men, its X-men now, the lawyers have assured us that we can get away with it as long as we never admit that what we are doing is definitely the x-men, so we're doing it, x-men time, nobody say x-men.

or terrigen mist definitely don't say that either

So excited, please support this limited series so the DC execs run out of excuses and allow Jefferson his rightful spot alongside the premier JL members

This panel below is from an older comic

If Batman admits he belongs in the power trinity why wont DC let him in the BUILDING? they claim its because he doesn't sell solo titles so lets show them they are wrong.

My first of four Inhuman sketch cover commissions with Criss Madd! Triton and Lockjaw at the pool!

How do you feel about revolutionary era cyclops? Both in premise and execution?

A fascinating premise fatally undermined in execution by contradictory editorial and writing choices.

To start with, Revolutionary Cyclops was a completely logical extension of where Cyclops’ character arc had been going ever since Utopia and AvX and the Phoenix Five. All his life, Scott Summers had been Charles Xavier’s perfect soldier - not his favorite student or his most trusted student, by the one that Xavier could count on to put the mission above himself no matter the cost. And for many decades, that’s who Cyclops was, to the point where it destroyed his first marriage and caused his second to founder under the weight of his repression and trauma. But after the Decimation, Scott had to move past that, to take up the mantle of independent leadership for mutantkind - something he pursued with unflinching pragmatism and ruthlessness, before it culminated in the ultimate Oedipal rebellion. So having completely severed himself from the legacy of Charles Xavier and his dream, Cyclops had to find a new purpose, a new direction for his life, and he found it in revolutionary politics. I think that’s a quite compelling arc.

Where I think the execution got messed up was that editorial clearly wanted to portray him as being in the wrong, another well-intentioned extremist in the vein of Magneto (who not coincidentally was increasingly loyal to and admiring of Cyclops as time went on), but Brian Michael Bendis never quite agreed. We would keep reading stuff about how Scott was going too far, that his ends couldn’t justify his means, and so on - but when it came to actually showing on the page what he was doing, it wasn’t anything more extreme than the X-Men had done in their “outlaw” era, and arguably much less morally questionable than the stuff he did when he was running Utopia and was coded more consistently as heroic. (This reached its peak of ridiculousness in the post-Bendis era with Death of X and IvX, where turned out that the thing that had convinced the world Cyclops was “worse than Hitler” was to make a big psychic projection of his head and destroy one of the Terrigen Mist clouds that were threatening to wipe out mutantkind.)

So, the X-Men nod at the end was explained by the comics written by the showrunner and Iman Vellani. Like, the main Marvel Universe comics.

On Earth-616, and presumably on Earth-199999/MCU as well, Kamala is both Inhuman and Mutant. But she can't have both powers at once, they both work against each other.

On Earth-616, exposure to Terrigen Mists activated her Inhuman abilities and forced her Mutant abilities (which has been confirmed to be the hardlight) to be dormant.

So, presumably, on Earth-199999/MCU, the Negaband energies instead activated her Mutant abilities, while rendering her Inhuman abilities dormant.

Basically, the difference between each version of Kamala's powers is down to how each universe has played out, which is neat in my opinion.

Random Scogue Headcanon/Trivia: Scoguelings! (<-reminder of what they look like as I make myself gradually evolve the wip into an official image 😅😭)

Their first two kids (Kirby and Roberta)’s mutations include being unaffected by the negative side effects of their mother’s mutation at least or completely immune to it at best.

When Rogue learns this after Kirby is born, she has a hard time trusting the news at first because what do you MEAN she can touch someone via skin to skin without any negative consequences without having to consciously regulate her emotions/hearbeat/etc ,but after the initial hesitancy, hardly a day goes by where she isn’t absolutely all over her baby boy, giving him smooches and kisses all over his chubby cheeks and tummy and feet and touching his grubby lil’ fists to her face.

Scott likes to tease her and tell everyone else that their two kids get more kisses from their mother than he’s ever gotten from her since they started dating and within their married life.

Their last and youngest child, Morrow, is actually the most openly affectionate kid in the family.

Unfortunately, the Inhuman’s terrigen mist temporarily (?) shattered Rogue’s fortified self-control and instinctual ability to depower her mutation during pregnancy, nearly killing Morrow by destroying whatever mutant genes she had while still in her mother’s womb and nearly having her life get snuffed out almost within a blink of an eye, and almost causing her to be legally considered stillborn while an emergency c-section had to be performed.

As a result, even though she is able to grow up to be a healthy and happy baby so far, the very nonmutant human Morrow is rarely able to experience physical contact with her own mother unless there are sufficient layers of fabric or clothing between them and poor Rogue is confident enough to rebuild her self-control of her mutation from scratch.

Not sure how closely you're following Ms Marvel but- did they ever explain how Kamala can be a mutant-Inhuman hybrid with both Inhuman and X-gene powers, even though the whole thing with Luna was that they cancelled out so she COULDN'T be a mutant? And I just. Missed the explanation.

Well, Luna is no longer relevant to this conversation because-- and I feel I'm tapping the sign from that Simpsons meme every time I say this-- the Maximoffs are not mutants and have not been mutants in canon, or treated as mutants by editorial, for a literal decade. Come this autumn, it will have been a full ten years since the AXIS retcon, and there have no signs that Marvel intends to change it back. I know it wasn't a popular decision, but I think it's silly that people are still pretending it didn't happen.

Anyway, like I said, the Maximoff retcon happened nearly ten years before the Kamala retcon, so any precedent Luna might have set had already fallen by the wayside a long time ago. My no-prize explanation is that when Luna was born, everybody misinterpreted her situation because they were working with false information about Pietro's genetics. Therefore, we should just disregard it as bad science.

As for Kamala, it's been stated a few times that because she underwent terrigenesis before her mutation had a chance fully develop, the terrigen mists basically suppressed her x-gene. She still has an x-gene-- and she still registered in the Cerebro system, which is why they resurrected her on Krakoa-- but it's dormant. So far, Kamala still hasn't manifested her mutant powers.

Iron Man and Magneto VS Stark Sentinels, Nimrod and Feilong

Iron Man, Magneto and even Feilong are figuring out on what to do in shutting down the Stark Sentinels and the AI takeover on Orchis. Iron Man, Magneto and the reluctant Feilong team up by taking the Sentinel Buster with them to the Sentinel Factory. Magneto and Iron Man pilot the Sentinel Buster by having the former (Magneto) pilot the through the chest core while the latter (Iron Man) pilots through the cockpit. Feilong reluctantly teams up with them as he is needed to help in shutting down the Sentinel factory. Their Sentinel Buster destroys the factories and the Stark Sentinels around them until Nimrod comes charging in and knocks down the Sentinel Buster with a punch. Iron Man has to hold the train to stop it from falling into the hole, leaving Magneto and Feilong to deal with Nimrod. Magneto tries to crush Nimrod in the coils but he gets gassed by Terrigen Mists as the killer robot claims that it knows the mutants' weakness to Terrigen Mists. Fortunately, Iron Man comes in to blow away the Terrigen Mist gas from Magneto. Thus, Iron Man and Magneto team up to take down Nimrod by using Mysterium and pure energy. As Nimrod is finally defeated, Magneto leaves the tied up Feilong to Iron Man who punches him in revenge for ruining his life.
