Heroes Return #1: The Man Who Rebooted the World

[superboyprime]

"So in the midst of the last year that I think a lot of us would like to forget, or that we’re all looking to move past in some way and get back to some semblance of life as we know it, that was all wrapped up in this. Like this job that I’ve loved that I’ve wanted since I was a kid that I love every day. That all kind of disappeared. So coming back to it was very much celebrating what I love about this job, what I love about comics, as a reader, as a writer, someone who feels very blessed to get to play in these sandboxes with these characters in these toys. That’s all wrapped up in this and I think that hopefully you can feel that on every page of this story. From me and from the amazing group of artists who I’m getting to work with across these eight books. But it’s very much a celebration – a joyful celebration of the power, the beauty, and the fun of comics." - Jason Aaron

Feel like pure shit, just want him back:

Now that's the Nighthawk I want to root for

Not whatever this whiny little dipshit in this crappy Heroes Reborn story is

I think we need to get all the Nighthawks in one room.

616 Kyle Richmond (the original)
Squadron Supreme Kyle (either pre-death or bring him back)
Squadron Supreme Neal Richmond (his son/successor)
616 Joaquim Pennyworth (always forgotten)
Supreme Power version (the one who came to the 616 and had a miniseries and who died pretty much off-screen in Occupy Avengers, boo)
616 Mephisto version (i.e. the current one)

Then we can let them fight it out for the identity. Because as it stands, there's at least 3 living claimants to the title running around the 616.

And seriously, I can't remember if it's ever been explained how the hero community hasn't raised eyebrows at the existence of both multiple Kyle Richmonds and multiple Nighthawks. How has no one been all "okay look, we've had a white Kyle running around as Nighthawk for years, and now here's a Black senator named Kyle at the same time as a new, Black Nighthawk is running around and...) I guess Mephisto really did sweep some shit under the rug.

There can only be one!
... unless someone decides to gather all the Nighthawks and make them some sort of group or franchise.
Nighthawks Unlimited, if you will.

... actually, has there been any sign of Deadly Nightshade since Secret Empire?


This is the same universe where the very white Nick Fury can have a son who looks like Samuel L. Jackson and no-one bats an eyelash at that one.
And original flavour Nighthawk was a Defender. They got up to some weird stuff.
So maybe the heroes of the Marvel universe think it's something like that.

Seriously. "What if Batman was a pissed-off black man?" is so much more interesting than Batman But Evil.

Or at least follow up on Nightshade taking over as the new Nighthawk. An inner-city mad scientist turned vigilante is a great concept. This is a woman who used to turn people into werewolves. Let's read about her fighting street crime and white supremacists.

Fighting street crime and white supremacists with werewolves?

Hey, yeah, that was a series someone was posting for a while, wasn't it?
