Marvel Boy

And to keep this all nice and legal, here's a cover by Skottie Young.
(Admins, could we get a tag for Miss America/America Chavez? I think we're going to need one.)

I keep thinkning that maybe Loki is intrested in Billy because he's supposedly a part of of Mephisto, and Mephisto is an ally/enemy of Loki's. But Kieron pretty much said he won't delve into Billy's origin.

Date: 2013-01-22 07:58 am (UTC)From one of the posts:
"He’s also hot.
Ever since our work on Phonogram, Jamie have strove to make our comics – for want of a better phrase – slash-fic-able. If you’re working in certain heroic fantasy genres, that’s part of the emotional churn. And that part is what loses the sort of person who thinks by Jamie redesigning Ms. Marvel’s costume he’s destroying the “sex-cake”.
(Oh man. Someone really did say Jamie had removed the icing from the sex-cake. Sometimes all you can do is blink when doing this gig. Blink so hard you hope your eyes open on some kind of better world. I digress.)
Anyway – point being: characters being sexy is cool but objectification in the process is bullshit. An inability to see the difference is a fundamental weakness. My wife’s in the next room watching Lord of the Rings, and I guarantee she’s thinking sexy thoughts about Aragorn. But that works without anything which annihilates him as a character, y’know? The readers mind will latch upon this stuff."
Aw, who am I kidding. I kind of want to marry his brain, there's no point in denying it.

Give me the 411 on Ms America, here
Date: 2013-01-22 12:07 pm (UTC)Never mind, I saw the tag, thanks.
Re: Give me the 411 on Ms America, here
Date: 2013-01-22 12:12 pm (UTC)She is Hispanic, though, which has led to some idiot-ball moments where people have claimed she can't be called 'Miss America' because of it, conveniently managing to ignore that there's also a *Central* and *South* America she could have come from.

Date: 2013-01-22 08:36 pm (UTC)It's a huge failing on Heinberg's part, in my opinion; especially after he goes out of his way to present the Kaplan's as great parents in the scene when Billy accidentally comes out to them. Everyone's experience is different, of course, but speaking from my own experience, adoptive parents and real parents are synonymous. Heinberg doesn't seem to get that.
Based on what Gillen said in early interviews, way back when the book was first announced, it seems like that's an issue he plans to deal with pretty directly. At least in regards to Billy.

Date: 2013-01-22 08:37 pm (UTC)In short: he’s on the team. But is he on the team’s side? We’ll see.
It will be a fun time. No-one will cry. No-one will be upset. No-one will die unmourned and unloved.
Honest.
No, really.
Why do people always presume I’m lying?
I have to say i bothlovehim and hate him......

Date: 2013-01-23 12:45 am (UTC)As for Kate love her, but dammit has she and Eli finally dated? Sorry, but I'm on that ship. They clearly have feelings for each other but never pulled the trigger and she dates someone else. When will the payoff happen? As for her sex, life, I personally say, "Do your thang girl." Just hope her and Marvel Boy are just casual and nothing serious. Mainly because I do not care about him nor have I yet to find any reason to like him. Someone wanna tell me his so-called appeal? Also is he a teen or grown man? I swear he ages then de-ages.

Date: 2013-01-23 01:03 am (UTC)As for Noh-Varr, he's been written so completely differently by each writer who's had him I'd say your best bet is to wait and see Gillen's interpretation and make your own judgement call. It already seems drastically different AGAIN. And if I had to guess I'd say he's 19-20? He's definitely aged since his introduction and he was recently dating a university student, so...
