He never got over losing the Nova Chief role to Liz Lemon's second in command.

In all honesty, Scott Adsit becoming a canon marvel superhero is still one of the weirdest real life to comics crossovers to me.


Edit: https://marvel.fandom.com/wiki/Scott_Adsit_(Earth-616) Long and Short, when Brian Posehn was writing Deadpool he added Scott as joke, other writers who had met Scott liked the idea and continued to run with it to the point that he's now in charge of the Nova Corps.

Gerry Duggan and Brian Posehn introduced Adsit as a SHIELD agent during their run on Deadpool, presumably because Adsit is friends with Posehn and he thought it'd be funny. Adsit then got transferred to the Nova Corps because that's somehow a thing that can happen, and then somehow became the head of the Nova Corps.

Then the whole Nova Corps died off screen (I think Thanos killed them? Can't remember). But yeah, Adsit isn't super, but he's definitely not just a comedian/actor in the Marvel U.

I appreciate your post, but the fact that Rick Jones was floating in the Negative Zone, and thought it was a good time to drop acid is perfect. And that it was effecting Mar-Vell was the icing on the cake.

Adsit is a huge fan of both Rush and Spider-Man. His office in the Helicarrier is full of posters of both, as well as a scale statue and a bust of Spider-Man. His computer password is "spideylover2112."[7]

Fun fact: he CAN'T be the chairman or any kind of stockholder of Phoenix Law Offices, unless he got admitted to the bar somewhere. There are certainly a few X-Lawyers who will do as he says, though, even if the most notable X-Lawyer would probably consider it in poor taste to call it that.

Well, it says right there his involvement has been kept secret, so I'm going to go out on a limb and say "shadow" chairman means he's not the chairman as far as legal matters go.

It's actually even better (or meaner). Since Rich is all PTSD-ridden what with being killed over and over again in the Cancerverse he's been having a tough time of things, and Annihilus goes "Nah, the Nova that killed ME was badass, and you're a spineless worm, so you can't be the same guy."

Are there any panels of Cable using his lawyer powers? Did he stop Superpro from getting convicted by telekenetically keeping him from putting the murderer's gloves on? Has he successfully employed the Mystique defense dozens of times? Has he successfully sued Empath for causing emotional distress?

Assuming it involves New York. he can be involved, but not secretly. See page 155 of the New York State Bar Rules of Professional Conduct. I believe they follow the ABA Model Rules of Professional Conduct, but I could be wrong and I don't feel like checking.
