Oh, look, it's Romeo, young Iceman's fake boyfriend! I just noticed that's the same character.

Crystal gain so many cool points with me for pointing out how fucking creepy Empaths are in Marvel comics.

[onsokumaru]

Not only empaths, psychics in general

[thehood]

The just changed digits, they aren't boyfriends yet. Fake or otherwise.

[onsokumaru]

That actually looks pretty good.
Wonder if that Romeo will be appear in Inhuman books, considering how useful his power is.

We'll be seeing a lot of him...

[7dialsmystery]

...since he's Bobby Drake's new love interest. Right up until their horrible tragic star-crossed deaths.

Smart heroes like Jess know to buy that Nokia phone, so they don't accidentally crush it with their super-strength.

[raspberryrain]

Those are tough phones.

[scorntx]

... last time I checked, Jess doesn't have super-strength. Just those bio-electric blasts.
Which probably aren't too good for a phone.

I thought she always had spider-strength...?

[scorntx]

...
Okay, I admit it, I don't know anything about any superhero ever! I just walked into a comic store when I was ten and I've been bluffing my way through every conversation since!

Er... that is, having checked a reputable source, it says she does have super-strength.
Sorry 'bout that.

[q99]

Heh :)

I can see missing it- it's not high level super strength, it's just low-to-mid level strength, often used for the task of punching people out!

[burkeonthesly]

I also thought she had spider-strength.

Today, the role of Captain Marvel will be played by Popeye the Sailor-Man.

I wonder if Jessica's upset because of Banner's death because of their friendship as seen in the Avengers Assemble book by Kelly Sue.

Tell me, has Jess solved a problem with something other than her fists outside the "Cool Motive, still murder" issue yet?

[long_silence]

She found the alternate universe Reed Richards in Spider-Gwen's reality and asked him to build a portal back to 616 for them out of legos.

While she first started a fist fight against her villainous male counterpart from that reality, they stopped and managed to talk each other down for the sake of her kid and walked away allies, something similar happened with his wife.

[majingojira]

Good to know. I skipped over that crossover event (it was around the time he made Warren/Laura into a truly toxic relationship so I swore him off completely even though his second #8 of Spider-Woman was really good), but I have to admit, something about what your describing seems . . . Off to me. I guess I'll have to read it for myself eventually.

I'm glad at least one of the problems I've had with that series was addressed though . . .

[thehood]

Several times already actually.

[majingojira]

Specifics would be nice.

Because aside from the crossover, and the "Cool Motive, Still Murder" intro to Hopeless' Spider-Woman, I struggle to think of any that didn't treat Jess as basically "The Muscle." As near as I can remember. And I stopped at the crossover (though I did check out the Wendgio issue which was another "Jess is the muscle while Porcupine humorously stumbles across the source of the problem!" story).
