Rom gets into his first misunderstanding fight and of course it is Jack of Hearts.


Is Jack going to take over and make everything about him like he did in She-Hulk's book?

I can’t be mad at Mantlo for trying to push his creation, but Jack of Hearts is no Rocket Raccoon.

Jack follows Rom into space.

Of course, Rom is only mostly dead.

Never really understood the fondness writers at Marvel seem to have for Jack of Hearts, because what little times he's been around it's either been angsting or fighting with other heroes.
Stuff like this? Not helping.
Yes, Rom's actions and unwillingness to explain himself don't make a good case, but Jack's belligerence and constant usage of the word "alien" is not a good look for him, either.


-"If I could come out of a battle with the Green Goliath, I can certainly survive a fight with you!"-
Gosh, Jack must've been crushed when it turned out Hulk's never actually killed anyone, but has been subconsciously calculates things to make sure he never deliberately harms anyone in his rampages.
"Hulk out-brain Jack of Hearts."

I thought ROM said he tried to explain, but they weren't listening?

I think they use him to prank their artists.

"Guess what! You have to draw one of the most complicated costumes ever designed, over and over, from multiple angles!"

Supporting evidence: They've tried to simplify his look twice, and it never sticks:

Thus we have Jack's only fight in which he's treated as a heavy weight.

After this, he soon barrels headfirst into the career of jobber.

So, no one I should be concerned with?
