Superhero Sex and the City

[stubbleupdate]

Since this post raised the question, I dug back into the archives to see Emma Frost and Sue Storm going out on the lash.

It's from Marvel Knights 4: Impossible Things Happen Every Day, by Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa and assorted artists. This is from issue #21, with art by Valentine DeLandro.

It's Sue and Reed's anniversary, but Reed's gone off to Washington for a conference, so Sue wakes up on her own.

After beating up the Mole Man, Sue takes Val out to Franklin's association soccer match (and RAS gets in a Mary-Jane Watson dig) when Alicia phones to ask Sue for a girl's night out.

Carnage does not actually follow




And, in the theme of kick-arse women from the last decade, Wu Ao-Shi, the Pirate Queen of Pinghai Bay will fuck you up bad

I thought it was after. Because this was an unexplained regression.

That's what I said. IIRC She had the PowerBrokers super-strength upgrade (and whatever happened to him I wonder), became a heroine going by the name Ms Marvel then went she-Thing and then yes, I thought she'd reverted.

I'm confused: there are 2 Ms. Marvels? Avengers Carol Danvers Ms. Marvel and a Thing Ms. Marvel? Didn't anyone notice that they had the same name?

At the time Sharon was using the name Carol was using the codename and powerset of Binary and was offworld with the Starjammers.

It happens quite a lot, look at how many people have used Captain Marvel just in the MU

I thought there where only 2 Captain Marvels? The Jim Starlin dude and the woman who was in Nextwave, right? Oh yeah, I forgot about that whole Binary deal... so what did the pre-Thing Ms. Marvel look like? I've only heard of her in passing. And how did she become a Thing? And is there a reliable IMDB-like site for these questions? (Not Wikipedia!)

Mar-Vell was the first, Monica Rambeau (Avengers/Nextwave/ect) was the second, then we also had Genis-Vell using the name for a while, then IIRC Noh-Varr used it, and possibly an alt-Carol Danvers too IIRC

Sharon, as the second Ms Marvel has an entry here and her history is outlined in much more detail than I could know here
