I'm betting it's a secret triple cross... but Marvel has been dumb before about this sort of thing.

This one got enough attention that they were obliged to lie to the New York Times about their intentions. http://www.nytimes.com/2016/05/26/books/reintroducing-captain-america-and-dr-manhattan.html But no I'm sure Real Captain America is a Hydra terrorist and this won't be retconned within six months.

It was like a decade ago, it turned out he was just transported to an alternate dimension by the Red Skull for "reasons" but since it was Brubaker and the cosmic cube was a major part of the plot for a good chunk of his run I'll allow it. Edit : also that run opened with resurrected Bucky Barnes, the only Marvel character who'd been dead longer than Uncle Ben. Air Skwirl fucked around with this message at 03:12 on May 27, 2016 |

Kinda missed the boat on this topic, but I adore the fact that it took Hal letting Bruce borrow a Power Ring to free himself from a God Chair.

Well he sat in that chair for what, a full year? Six months, at least. His leg muscles had to be atrophied as gently caress

But, you see, that implies that at some point during the Chair Era he cared about what would happen post-chair.

Though Sulu, M'ress AND Uhura really get the shaft when it comes to comic book depictions. Here's some Gold Key adaptations.   To recap, M'ress is some sort of...erm...bluish, Sulu is black, and Uhura is white.

Checking the source material is for losers. I kinda love the star trek animated series, if only because being animated allowed them to introduce really goofy alien crewmen and villains that live action on a shoestring budget could never allow. M'ress was particularly great because she just talked normally but sometimes said "Prrr" in a really awkward way at the end of a sentence. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pIlAuCkKoF8

That's something that Peter David's run was very good at as well (That's where the Sulu/M'ress page with the sonnet comes from), right up until Paramount stepped in and said "Quit making other characters interesting. You have to focus on the film crew only!" and all the neat characters he'd been developing quietly disappeared.

Apparently, at one point some executive told David that the Gold Key comics were everything Star Trek comics should be, and David laughed in his face before realizing he wasn't kidding.

Clearly Gamora has infiltrated the Enterprise crew on a deep-cover mission, and Sulu had to visit a back-alley plastic surgeron (or bones just got drunk) because he had to breifyl change his face because reasons. This is comics, after all. Uhura...I got nothin'. Edit: Wait, Yeoman Rand is filling in, and Kirk called her Uhura by force of habit! Where's my no-prize?
