So, here’s the Thing …

This was originally posted as part of an extensive thread on disabled protagonists in action-adventure media; however, since I’d been composing it in my head as a stand-alone post for several weeks, I thought I would preserve it as one.

On the topic of disabled heroes, let us not forget Benjamin J. Grimm. The Ever-Lovin’ Blue-Eyed Thing. The Idol of Millions.

We shouldn’t leave him out of this conversation just because he doesn’t have a “real-world” disability. Ben has been regularly and consistently portrayed as disabled since Fantastic Four #1, and, as @captainlordauditor points out, it’s integral to his identity as a hero.

Ben’s very first words are his frustrations at living in a world too small for him. He’s a two or three times as broad as a normal man, and covered in an orange, rocky hide. He weighs a quarter of a ton. He needs custom-tailored clothing. He needs special furniture. He’s an accomplished pilot, but he can only continue in his chosen profession because Reed builds the controls to suit his scale and his huge, four-fingered hands.

Early on, people faint at the sight of him, at the shock of his disfigurement, until he becomes well-known and popular enough to be seen as a hero, a big cuddly teddy bear, rather than as a monster.

Ben isn’t representative of a specific disability, but in the obstacles, inconveniences, and prejudices he faces, he most definitely counts as disability representation.

thinking about how this is the perfect time for the MCU to inflict Johnny Storm’s presence onto Peter

johnny’s inferiority complex is so justified

Wolverine, Avengers, Axis – Marvel február

A New 52 színvonalromlását sokan a Convergence event bejelentésével látják alátámasztottnak. Ilyen alapon viszont a Marvel NOW!-t is bukásnak kellene elkönyvelnünk a közelgő Secret War már előre bejelentett következményei miatt (CoIE 2.0). Ezt maximálisan megcáfolják a Diamond eladási statisztikai: a Marvel olyan szinten elhúzott a DC mellett minden mérhető szempontból, hogy lassacskán nem lesz…

“Got splashed by Captain America and his sidekick in the face, and it’s nowhere near as cool as it sounds”-Johnny Storm, probably.

Now that MCU is finally trying to unlock the multiverse, what is the wackiest encounter you can imagine?

No lie, the alternate Mr. Fantastic being the “world’s smartest man” (and having the scientific achievements to back it up) but also so lovably dumb that he gets the entire Illuminati killed by impulsively mentioning what Black Bolt’s powers are to Wanda is the most hilariously accurate-to-the-comics thing in the world.

I heard really bad news yesterday, Marvel is cancelling Futurure Foundation after issue #5!
I know there’s a Power Pack mini series on the way but I’m sad to know that teenager Julie is probably going to limbo again for I don’t know how long.
It also makes me sad for the creative teamin charge of the book because they put a lot of effort and love in that series.
