It's one of those artist things that works with the story. I really enjoyed it but wouldn't if it was, like, Daredevil or Batman.

She's literally a ninja, she was possessed by the demon Ogun and granted a lifetime of martial arts training as part of that to become his ninja assassin and then Wolverine helped her purge the demon. this was in the 1985 Wolverine and Kitty Pryde mini. She's had ninja skills for the vast majority of her existence as a character, it just isn't used all that often for some reason.

yeah, one of the early arcs in Excalibur was about her taking time away to go to a boarding school that had her intimidate some bullies with her ninja moves. Then it turns out she had to become a cheerleader and she and the bullies had to defeat Fenris to save the school? Probably not worth revisiting come to think about it.

So can those soldiers understand her or not? Sword guy speaks English at the end, but everyone else is speaking <>. Can't blame them for not surrendering if they don't know that's what you are offering.

They're explicitly there to prevent Russian mutants from leaving, they're keeping them in cages offscreen, and one dude has a knockoff Iron Man suit with weapons designed to nullify mutant powers, and they specifically tried to shoot Iceman on sight earlier in the issue.

Considering her relationship with Peter and the fact that she’s a goddamn genius, I’d be willing to believe Kate knows enough Russian to get her point across.

Just to clarify Wyatt Wingfoot is a FF supporting character who's been around since the 1960s. It's a very comic book name, though.

He did. He also has no superpowers whatsoever, so I'm not sure how effective he'd be as a F4 member. Even though he kind of hung around with them when She-Hulk was replacing Thing.

He's the reason the F4 could defeat Black Panther in his first appearance (it was one of those "I don't actually have a problem with you, I just want to defeat you to show you how smart I am" situations).

Wingfoot is also like an Olympic class athlete i think? Or at least his Grandfather was loosely based on a real Olympian.

To be fair, according to the Marvel handbook, every non-powered person in the Marvel universe is listed as Olympic-level athlete, expert hand to hand combatant, and/or having 3 PhD's.

Yeah, but in his first appearance it's all, "hey Johnny, here's your roommate, he's as good an athlete as his Grandfather, the greatest athlete of all time."

If they are going to say that, why not just say that “hey Johnny, here’s your roomate, the greatest athlete of all time.”

I guess he really wants to respect his elders.

They were specifically trying to draw allusions to Jim Thorpe without trying to say this fictional character was related to this real person who'd died within living memory at the time.
