Wacky Races?

[crinos]

Looks like.

Who are the other racers? I recognize Wasp as the American driver. (Which yeah, if you're having a super science racing contest I imagine Nadia would be like "Sign me up!" I imagine the only reason Lunella wasn't invited is because she's too young).

[cainofdreaming]

The winner looks kinda like Danny. Green bodysuit, sash around waist. But he's not showing up on the headshots.

Which country is the third one anyway? I recognize Brazil, USA and Sweden but I'm stumped with that one.

[agent8]

the third country would be Taiwan, which i'm surprised at since the PRC is death on just about any acknowledgement or depiction of them in media.

[lieut_kettch]

I'm guessing Marvel comics (comics, not movies or other media) isn't big in mainland China, and editorial thought this would fly under their radar.

No Dick and Muttley?

Oh, that's right, they're with DC now ...

[crinos]

Who would be the Marvel Super heroes equivqlent of Dick Dasterdly and Mutley?

I mean for Dastardly I would probably make it Baron Zemo, or Red Skull, or Deadpool. For Muttley maybe MODOK or Toad? Let me get back to you on that.

[cygnia]

Karnak & Lockjaw?

[zachbeacon]

Red Ghost and the Super Apes.

[laughing_tree]

Perfect.

[lordultimus]

Are those kids in the last panel supposed to be the "Children of The Atom" kids that are coming up?

[alliterator]

I believe they are -- the blonde woman certainly seems to be the Cyclops-analogue in Children of the Atom.

[arilou_skiff]

Wait, Forge has *fans*?

[coldfury]

Oof. The movie synergy has hit T'Challa & Shuri hard, hasn't it?

T'Challa used to be one of the top engineers in Marvel continuity, now he's 'moral support'.

Shuri used to be the Queen of Wakanda, now she's a 'Princess'.

[scorntx]

Could've been worse.
At least Shuri gets to be a genius inventor, rather than, say being reduced to an angry jerk or complete idiot.

[zachbeacon]

I really miss early 2000s Starlord and Classic Hawkeye.

[scorntx]

I hold out hope that having Ewing writing Guardians means we might get some of old Quill back.
... might be a tiny stretch at the moment, mind.

[alliterator]

Have you read issue 2 of Ewing's run? You should probably read issue 2 of his run.

[scorntx]

I have in fact read issue 2.
Hence "might be a tiny stretch at the moment".

[donnblake]

Oh, a race like with speeds and times and finish lines. My first thought was that we were looking at a Very Special Issue. This is kind of fun.

[lieut_kettch]

I hate how they dumbed down T'Challa to build up Shuri. Especially jarring for those that grew up reading Christopher Priest's run where he's basically richer, smarter Batman.
