Cringeworthy Comicbook Moments: Jessica Brings Up An Unfortunate Part of Ms. Marvel's Backstory

Possible trigger warning for discussion of rape

From the sequel to Jessica's solo series Alias, she's beginning to give birth to her and Luke Cage's baby. He feels that this is a good time to bring up her friend Carol Danver's last pregnancy, much to the discomfort of everyone of the room.





And I swear that I'm not posting this just because of that Todd Akin guy's moronic comments a few days ago.

Carol, this might not be the best time, but is your superhero outfit really the best thing to be wearing in a hospital?

And it just occured to be that getting mysteriously pregnant is something that she has in common with Power Girl, who pre-Crisis (I think) she was impregnanted by the universe for some reason (yeah, really). Since this was shortly after she slept with Hal Jordan, he naturally decided to act like an ass and start yelling at her for denying that it was his baby.

I always said that was a bright point for if/when Cass comes back into the DCnU--all of her shitty history can be thrown right out the window. :)
