No kidding. Aside from a reference or two in Alpha Flight there's been no mention of any effects with the U.S's relations with other countries over Civil War, the Registration Act (Canada had it passed in 1995, the only physical fight over it was Puck having a bar fight in Halifax. Seriously), or the Initiative. Interesting idea, lousy execution.

Phy posted:Man, Canada really IS evil in Marvel, isn't it? Actually, no. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Registration_acts_%28comics%29#1993_Canadian_Super-powers_Registration_Act Whoops, I got a couple of the details wrong. 1993 not '95, and there's some debate about whether it's been repealed by Parliament (Brevoort says it must have been at some point, while Oeming's Omega Flight's characters mention the registration act going on for years, without stuff like being hunted down and the "42" super prison.) So I'd imagine it's more like "Sure, you can fire blasts from your hands or control small mammals with your mind, but if you want to actually do something with that power get a license. If you don't we'll write you a ticket, and I'll shake my finger at you very sternly."

Alacron posted:I think it's a pretty awesome speech, but only in a meta-sense in that it's more of a response to absurdly Utopian "harmony with nature" societies that pop up in things like Avatar and Dungeons & Dragons. That was pretty much the intention. Avatar was gorgeous, but I fell into the trap of thinking about it too much afterward. Another good treatment of the Fair Folk is in Terry Prattchett's Lords and Ladies, where elves are presented as a wholly alien Other. Shadowrun really cemented the opinion of "Elves are massive cockbags, really." in my mind. [/derail]

Fuego Fish posted:There was one member from 616, the rest were all alternate reality types. Kurt Waggoner was an American-born teenage Nightcrawler from a reality where humanity had been wiped out in a robot uprising, hence that scene. There was also James Howlett from a reality where he was an officer of some Canadian service, and his bones were plated with adamantine, the metal of the gods from Greek mythology, which turned out to be a gift from his secret boyfriend, Hercules. That's Governor-General of the Dominion of Canada , James Howlett, thank you. It means he was the direct representative of the Crown in Canadian Parliament. Technically, he was in charge of the country, and the Prime Minister had to get his approval, or Royal Assent, to any legislation he wanted to pass into law. It's a pretty big deal.Sorry.
