Question for the marvel fen about Eli Bradley

[fightingarrival]

I'm fairly certain that it's never mentioned in canon whether Eli Bradley practices any particular faith, if at all. But considering his family, it's always been my head canon that he's muslim - though I'm not positive about which branch. I'm fairly split between the Nation of Islam and Sunni Islam, but there are of course other branches and off-shoots... (Is it ever elaborated on in canon what branches Faith Shabazz and Josiah X belong to? The name changes imply Nation, but I'm not sure if it's ever actually outright said. This is what I get for not having read The Crew yet.)

What's your opinion? Do you have head canon regarding other characters religious affiliations (or lack there of)? Share!

Legalese: from Dark Reign: Young Avengers because it still remains awesome always and forever.

I think Tony's dad is WASPy, but his mother has an Italian name, and Tony is often drawn looking quite Mediterranean. I suspect early Catholicism inside a very WASPy mainstream, so probably a Protestant or non-religious school.

Yeah, I always assumed his mother was catholic.

OTOH, I have a hard time seeing Tony as a believer. (feeling guilty for not believing, sure!) But I just don't think he has the mindset to believe.

Tony doesn't believe, no

But like a few of us recovering Catholics, he still knows the prayers. For instance, during Civil War when Pepper asks him to kill Happy (because Happy was in a coma and she knew that Happy would have rather been dead than a vegetable), Tony says The Father's Prayer.

I haven't been to a Catholic mass in years, but best believe, I still know the rituals.
