The best characters in Marvel are the ones that feel like relatively "real" people and make you root for them. They also have a great rogues gallery to pull from for story types of varying intensity and levity.

Kamala is on her way to being the next Spider Man. She just needs time to develop memorable enemies. Thomas Edison was pretty cool and I could see him coming back.

well then let's focus on that for a second; what makes an enemy memorable?

>>78570184
well being a super intelligent chicken man is a good start

Marvel creator: look at this cool character I made he's like superpowerful

Marvel exec: what flaws does he have?

Marvel creator: bad shit happens to him in the most unrealistic, cartoonish way possible

Marvel exec: make him black and give him a weekly set in Brooklyn

its implying that Marvel can't make a good character without making them witty quipsters unlike DC or Image

I like punkslut Storm, any more?

Usually being able to put the hero through the ringer in a way that tests their personality and powers. Also a villain should be adaptable or able to change his style of confrontation so they don't get stale.

Norman Osborn has gone Goblines San Frontieres in Amazing and it's Pretty cool.

Spider-Man villains are the best because (i) they have unique gimmicks beyond just being strong or shooting generic energy blasts, so he gets a variety of challenges and (ii) they're somehow interesting enough that you're willing to read about many them even when they're out of costume.

That probably the biggest problem a lot of new characters face. Lack of interesting villians.

Yeah, it seems that writers don't even try to make interesting villains. They are so confident in their OC "coolness" that they forget to write good characters to bounce that off of. Without that the MC just comes across as a Mary-Sue and boring, even if they do have a good gimmick or personal story. I think New Avengers is going to thrive because Ewing is pulling out some great villains to pit them against.

Is this suppose to be Storm because that's nothing like her character, even when she was in Punk mode she was never this in your face.

I think Kamran could be expanded into a great villain and nemesis.
He is not so great now, but his ideology would find takers. If he gathers lackeys he could become a terrorist or something as a dark reflection of Kamala's ideals.
Where she sees duty, he sees prerogative. Where he takes power, she takes responsibility.

>>78569306
They mean that the ideal Marvel character is teenage escapist fantasy. They're not wrong either.

>become a terrorist
They wouldn't dare. But yeah he will definitely show back up. He seems like the kind of guy that won't give up trying to convert Kamala to his ideology. I want Lineage back, but he seems too big/smart for Kamala to handle alone.
