Date: 2018-01-23 07:28 pm (UTC)It's funny how writers sometimes get super in to a character for about ten minutes, like Bendis did with Noh at this point.
So he's in Secret Invasion, where he contributes nothing to the plot.
And then he's here, where he contributes nothing to the plot, then quits.
Then he became the Protector for about five minutes, was in the Avengers, where aside from the time-travel storyline he didn't do much...
And then Avengers Vs. X-Men where he betrayed the Avengers, lost the title of Protector and got chased off.
Which is an oversimplification, but it's odd how much attention Bendis gave him just to amount to so little.
Also, that photo of Karla as Ms. Marvel.
By this point she's been an Avengers for about... a day? Two days?
And somewhere in that time, she's gotten a photo of herself, had it developed, framed and placed in her room, while off fighting Morgana Le Fay.
Is that why she's acting so distracted?
"Hmm, was Alien Boy saying something? I'm too busy thinking about my awesome painting of me. Maybe I should look at it again. Yep, still as devastatingly brilliant as it was two minutes ago."

It's kind of tragic that letting Norman Osborn have any kind of power isn't even the worst failure of the Marvel Universe's Bush government.

I'm honestly surprised Marvel didn't manage to go as far as to let Norman run for President. If the storyline had run now, I'm sure they would have.

Date: 2018-01-23 11:17 pm (UTC)"Is that how humans usually...?"
"Sure"
"i dont know how I feel about that"
And he ran away and was never seen again.

The reference to the Daily Bugle technically backing him up against Spider-Man is a nice touch. The chemical imbalanced bit is also nice, but there is still a tremendous amount of stigma against those of us with neuro-chemical issues, so that would likely not work in his favor.
Karla and Noh in bed: Gotta love the L-shaped sheet. I wonder what they got up to that has Noh-Var so nonplussed.
