Marvel's Voices Infinity Comic #97: "Unlike Any Other (Part 3 of 6)"

[alliterator]

"Legacy characters like Bobby, like Northstar, like Jessie Drake came of age when their stories were deemed "untellable", and I think – understandably – stories of queer suffering, of surviving tooth and nail, are less en vogue now, both for publishers and readers. But they’re still stories important to tell. Our scars still matter, even if not everyone understands them, or finds them harder to look at or market."
-- Anthony Oliveira



Emma Frost and Shela Sexton (also known as Escapade) are sitting in a fancy restaurant. Only...Shela doesn't remember how they got there. So Emma explains that there was an airplane and a Hydra hijacking that Shela herself stopped.

I like Escapade's character, but her powers make me deeply uncomfortable.

She can seamlessly impersonate anyone she chooses, taking their powers or abilities with no one around her being the wiser.

That kinda feels like a TERF argument

"She can seamlessly impersonate anyone she chooses, taking their powers or abilities with no one around her being the wiser."

I mean, sometimes, sometimes not. Sometimes she switches and people DO notice, it all depends. Certainly, in this story, everyone notices.

"That kinda feels like a TERF argument"

Considering she was created by a trans woman, I really doubt it.
