think about it:
> mutant who almost immediately decides to be a hero on their own means rather than join Xavier’s scouting camp
> immediately loves these powers
> does good for the society around them no matter what
> just generally optimistic in general, with no caveat meant to crush her spirits
> oh, and also a good, wall-rounded family to boot
get my drift?

UFOs Are A Psyop Shirt $21.68 |
just to be clear, i’m definitely referring to the marvel universe
Terry Crews?
that’s actually Shaquille O’Neal https://youtu.be/QAG_BhuwvTQ?si=6I4ObKA65AKLcx2X
Static is DC, not Marvel. Meta-humans don't have the same issues that Mutants have.
i meant a mutant hero with the same attitude and beliefs as static tbf
would just get treated like spiderman
This just proves Miles should’ve been an electric mutant. All of Miles problems are solved if he doesn’t have Peter’s powers but does his best to mimic them anyway because he refuses to let the flame that is Spider-Man die out
He should have been mildly spidery and mostly electric, so his name could be Spiderbolt.
There's an Electric Blue Tarantula and some Spiders can use E-magnetism with their silk to glide, they should have just named him Tarantula and had him basically be Spider-Man Unlimited Spidey with gliding instead of webs.
nah; the core essence of spider-man is suffering for great responsibilities’ sake
this character probably won’t have to suffer for that sake, especially not to a degree akin to peter Parker himself
Kamala is similar I suppose. she only recently became a mutant though
ye but i'd like to see someone make a new mutant hero without all the baggage of previous years an' stuff
especially in the "100% mutant" and "solo hero" camp; i don't think there are any mutants who've refused xavier's call that aren't also villains afaik
Bang Babies faced similar discrimination, not nearly to the same level, but the bones are there.
That's because most of them are criminals.
A lot of that overlapped with a degree of racial and class discrimination, since in addition to the freaky powers most of the initial wave of Bang Babies were the victims of exposure to a mutagen mixed in with tear gas being deployed at a gang war, meaning a lot of gangbangers, homeless and unstable teens were mutating all over the place with only Static to really do anything about it.
Not only the concept but the execution was better written than x-men, even if it had hammy anti racism message, but it was better than X-men tokenism
Isn't that basically Ms. Marvel? Or Justice? Or Firestar?
i checked them out; kamala was initially an inhuman; and justice and Firestar kinda had their hopes dashed by the plot
That other anon is right, the X-men don't operate as superheroes like the heroes DC do. They're more celebrities with powers. Static would stand out heavily among their angst, navelgazing and drama.
pretty much, ye
i'm honestly surprised how several mutants happen to be self-loathing individuals who also happen to be self-absorbed
(it's kinduva shame, rly; they should at least have a friend to coax them into being a hero at least)
That applies to all Marvel "Heroes."
The Avengers and S.H.I.E.L.D. are government militarized tasks forces and police teams, they're not superheroes.
on another note, it’s kinda weird they don’t have any “mutant treatment centers” like in that one static shock episode either: https://youtu.be/it7GNp59tIM?si=zjwN9iev0C6MKo7n (3:17)
They've had several. On the Avengers. During Busiek's run on the Avenger's Firestar had excellent public reception among the citizenry. Justice was seen as a good and a dork. But that was because he was being a pud. Not because he was a mutant. Beast was constantly getting ladies digits when he was an avenger. Any mutant is almost always at least tolerated to liked when they're not on the X-men.
ngl all this really does make you realize how much flack mutantkind receives is usually at the fault of their "head-in-the-sand" leaders
seriously the x-men are basically the propagators of their own misfortune.
To be fair, that’s because inspite of the public perception of the Avengers being public stooges, they’re one of the few superhero groups willing to not only stand under constant scrutiny but also hold themselves publicly accountable for their actions as well as weather the PR storm from people that feel pissed at them for whatever reason that week. The X-men very understandably don’t want to deal with the ultra biased media circus, especially the incarnations that have kids in their care that need a stronger level of protection from supervillains and shit, but considering we have multiple superhero teams of “public approved” mutants, one has to wonder if the X-men’s mission wouldn’t be a bit easier if they were more open about themselves and their intentions from the start.
Man I miss this show. Static himself was a lot of fun.
It kinda sucks Static never had a successful run after the show finished and rarely shows up now due to the issues with who even fricking OWNS him and his rights
Always found it funny they went "just add him into the DCAU no one will be agasint it"
ngl the weirdest part about that IMO is how they gave superman blue eyes the time he appeared: https://youtu.be/UOP8ERkeYMs?si=ymL75J6qdiJ1DFqV
Superman has blue eyes.
aightrue; it's just surprising seeing him with blue eyes when we're so used to DCAU supes having dot eyes
That logo…Phyrexia?
He shouldn't involve himself with those muties
