i meant the world of marvel, as in, things change, laws change, but the people are still the people. and does anyone honestly think steve won't be back?

therein lies the problem, imo...

edit: missed the bit about reboots. i wasnt suggesting they have a COIE. i was talking like, as you said, and OMD type thing... something done subtly and for the benefit of the character that needs it...

They aren't the same characters though, are they? Whilst they are the same people, they've progressed as people.

I think Marvel are a few years ahead in that sense, alot more of their books are actually making real progress rather than rehashing alot of the typical story lines. (of course there are exceptions, e.g the Fantastic Four, or Blue Beetle/Booster Gold)

I'm really against things like that (and retcons in general), because sooner or later someone's going to come along *cough*Joe Q*cough* and totally disregard it and/or screw someone over like that.

and Venom isn't? Venom has had many mini-series...something Cyclops does not

also, Venom is a hero...at least Brock version was. he just hated spiderman.

he has a mini. ok... has he been a main character of a major marvel comic for 40 odd years? has he been time and again a central character in almost every arc that involved the characters around him?

no?

no...I remind them of Starscream. wink

amongst my group of friends, we use "you remind us of Cyclops" as a euphemism for "please remove that stick from your behind"

not relly 😛

don't get me wrong , the thing I liked best about Starscream was his intelligence. to bad greed got the better of him.

he was also one of the less honorable Decepticons..

Looks like we all agree that Paul sucks.
