It always feels weird to me when female characters have Latin (i.e., Ancient Roman) names, but in the male style.

[remial]

that bugs you too? oh thank god, I thought I was the only one.

[captainbellman]

*Sniff*...it truly is never just you.

(I mean, you wouldn't call the World-Eater "Galacta" unless it were female-identified, would you? Why this double standard?)

Numinus? As in the Numinus who was basically "What if Whoopi Goldberg wore a Jack Kirby style cosmic outfit as the universal embodiment of wonder"?

Why yes, I think it is

[icon_uk]

Though she seems to be taking over the role associated with another cosmic agent, one of Infinity's chosen, known as "Origin", who is mostly responsible for creating all the heroes and villains on Earth (Though she later admits as her host body got older she'd been getting a little tired and had created a lot of characters who were mutants because their origins were so much easier)

[tugrul]

Wow, love it when they dig into old characters and do something good with them.

[beyondthefringe]

It's sad that I actually remembered this character from their one and only canon appearance. Wow.

[baihu]

Omg!

I still have that issue! Cosmic Whoopi Goldberg helping the Power Pack!

But considering that's where she's from, I'm surprised that there IS no Power Pack in her recollections and/or Kymellians :(

[thanekos]

Oh, meta, you're always both earnest and trite.

[raspberryrain]

I AM GROOT.

[beoweasel]

Soo...it's just the EARTH that both of them are using to give evidence to their beliefs about the universe being a mess or not? One tiny planet out of countless others? Jeez, that's a rather narrowly-defined judgement for all of creation.

[tugrul]

Yes, while reading I thought to myself, if she is what she says she is, she shouldn't have been discouraged to begin with, but for the sake of the feel-good story I'm going along with it.

Check out the events they're both referencing. This isn't an argument about whether or not the Universe is worth it.

This is an argument as to whether or not the MARVEL Universe is worth it.

Numinus shows all the events that more or less went bad.

Groot counters by showing everything that's gone Right.

This is a message to us, the readers.

That last part you mention its rather interesting given how a large majority of creators in media (looking at Teen Titans Go posted on Scan) tend to attacks its viewers and critics, its rather refreshing.

[beyondthefringe]

I'm sad that Numinus no longer looks like Whoopi Goldberg.
But good grief, this is really digging into the obscurity bin. This is Mark Gruenwald levels of obscurity digging.

[icon_uk]

And, like so many of Mr Gruenwald's efforts, it works! :)
