Being a mutant has only gotten her killed or stuck in shitty story lines. Her best ones are the ones that deal with Limbo, or magic, and being near Colossus turns all her motivation to "muh brotha". She would be better off not being a mutant or at least being allowed to leave the X-men.

This motherfucker.

I was so disappointed in the reveal in Geoff Johns' run. So Aquaman killed his dad? I mean, sure, that's a great reason to hate a motherfucker and all but it's so boring and pedestrian compared to anything else. His reason for his complete and utter hatred for Aquaman should be ambiguous as fuck. I feel like the more they reveal, the less impressive he becomes.

I agree. I prefer the idea of them constantly teasing reasons why Black Manta loathes Aquaman, hinting at possible origins, but often with details that conflict with one another. At the end of the day I'm not even sure he needs a reason. Aquaman is the White Whale to his Ahab. That really is all there is to it.

And do what? She'd have no place in any other book. Illyana's story was done when she was reverted back to a kid and then died. The only mistake they did after she was back was Bendis' complete character assassination when she got turned back into "professor" Illyana with a personality circa 1980s New Mutants.

I don't understand why everyone has such a hard time with it. Keep the reincarnated Egyptian lovers thing. Golden age Hawkman and Hawkgirl are superheroes during the 40's, but sometime after the war they die and the lovers are reincarnated on the planet Thanagar. Make it so that the reincarnation is only restricted to Earth.

The more we get away from WWII the more off his origin feels. Make his story tied to the Balkan wars. Or if you really wanted, I actually think Magneto is a great candidate for a race lift. Make him a kid during the Rwandan genocide

>Aquaman is the White Whale to his Ahab
That could be a pretty cool motivation, like he just has a compulsive need to prove that he can take down Aquaman. He's just a normalish guy who has some sea background but he becomes consumed with the idea of the hunt. Aquaman's got no clue who he is.

I think Clayface being almost a completely different character every single time he shows up, even if if the appearances are supposed to be mere days apart, is kinda fitting in that he's a shapeshifting actor. Now if they could just stop doing that to half the other Batman villains it'd be great.
>>
>>83846908

For some reason i imagine him like Roger from American Dad where he would just have loads of personas everywhere in Gotham just because he loves acting and with his powers he can look like anything so he can be any role.

Imagine an entire story where you get to the end and just find out over half the characters involved in the crime Batman is investigating were clayface.

Also anytime he commits a series of crimes, the personas he operates under and the things he's stealing are so radically different, not even Adam Wests Batman would be able to figure out a connection, even with superior batlogic.

Yeah. There was no sympathetic angle.

He was a bank robber who drove his getaway car into some chemicals that gave him ice powers.

Waste of Clancy Brown, who could've played a good Freeze if he'd had better material (they gave him all the Arnold cold puns like "ICE to see you!").

I think they tried toning it down a bit but he still had some kind of retarded forehead ponytail brushed back over his head thing going on last I remember. Hopefully now that there's been writer/artist changes he'll show up and be bald at some point, cause goddamn does every design with him having hair look awful.

It's fine for now, but in about 10 years they're either going to have to start seriously aging her up, or come up with some other reason she quit West Point.

Xavier fits perfectly on the sliding timeline, he's not tethered to a real life event like Magneto, they first meet as young-ish men in a clinic for traumatized Holocaust survivors, all that needs changing is making it an Holocaust museum or something, it makes no difference if Magneto is 30 or 60 at the time, as long as he appears the same age as Xavier.
