Marvel "revelation" I'm surprised hasn't been used yet...

The Marvel multiverse is a figment of the Scarlet Witch's imagination. She's in a psyche ward somewhere go catatonic.

It makes more sense than almost anything else Marvel is coming up with these days.

Be bonus points if the the psyche ward was located at St. Eligius Hospital.

Damn you Joephisto!!!

The man needs to be taken out and.... given some meds that would cure his obvious condition. He is making a mockery of Marvel comics.

And, yes this is the wrong section. Mods, please move this when you get the chance.

Wrong forum, indeed.

Oh, it probably hasn't escaped them.

They're just holding it in reserve for the next time they need a piece of massive retcon-fodder.

Clicking on the linked image above will take you off the City of Heroes site. However, the guides will be linked back here.

If someone walked up to Scarlet Witch and put a bullet in her head would all the mutants get their powers back?

Bonus question: If you're going to kill Jean Grey off for the 34th time, could you not also get rid of her deus ex machina, Phoenix, at the same time? That's my HOPE.

Indeed, part of why I gave up on Marvel was the fact that they not only built, but use a dues ex machina character and use her to explain any changes to the way the world works on their whim

Granted, I enjoyed the Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya, but at least there you halfway know what you're getting into

It's comic book release day, please don't get me down before I go give Marvel more of my money!

I think there was a FF story that dealt with something like this. And I hated it. It was the worlds most powerful mutant from another reality who was in a coma creating the multiverse. And then a future self comes back to the past to kill himself. In the process he starts wiping out other alternate realities and using the heroes of those other realities as pawns to help fight the FF and kill his past self.

Way to many alts.

I see what you did there...

Was that the Onslaught thing? Franklin Richards?

I never followed FF that closely, but I think what's that all involved.

Thanks for eight fun years, Paragon.

I did too, until they tied her to that tired Phoenix nonsense. I like that Hope, despite her taken name really didn't have any familial connection to the Summers clan. At this point, I half expect them to retcon that Cable got with Hope's mother in Alaska so she can REALLY be Cyclops' granddaughter.

Time travel is a tricky thing. Muddling around with it can make anything possible at any time.

So yeah, probably.

And didn't you see it coming? She has red hair! I think the only redhead in the MU to NOT be a Phoenix is Mary Jane, and that's only because Joey Q. hates her.

Thanks for eight fun years, Paragon.

No, it was a few months ago. Pretty forgettable story written by Miller.

Edit: Clyde Wyncham, the worlds first mutant and creator of the Marvelverse.

This is what I was thinking about. He was our worlds first mutant who had reality altering powers. And responsible for the creation of the comic universe.

Way to many alts.

You know, I see people say this about one of the big two or the other. (Playing a bit of devils advocate here). DC does this too. They very firmly established that recent retcons or continuity errors are from Superboy Prime punching reality. Which one is worsse?

(And just for the record I do feel that Joephisto needss to be beaten witin an inch of his life, taken to a hospital to get better, then beaten again)

As for the Scarlet Widow comment.

*blush*

Don't do that.

I gave up on both. I prefer comics that have a single author and artist and have a coherent beginning, middle and end to the story. And then I go on to the next story.

I think I gave up upon realizing that Peter Parker had been born sometime in the 50s but was still just into his late twenties.

Don't forget Franklin Richard's Bart Simpson Syndrome. It's because in the Marvelverse, only roughly a decade has allegedly passed since the first issue of the Fantastic Four was released. Sliding timescale, y'know.

Scarlet witch. 'no more mutants' and 'disassembled' were worse travesties than the 'RETCON PUNCH!' and there are only a few errors directly attributed to the RP, the last few years they've even admitted in the DCU itself that a lot of errors have sprung up because of the original Crisis (and a lot of the subsequent Crisis trying to 'FIX' the first one). In Marvel's case, they aren't continuity errors, it's Joe letting his popular writers do whatever the hell they want without editorial oversight unless it's one of his pet characters. (Spider-Man for example)

how about we try to fire the guy and put an actual EIC in place that will exert actual editorial control without being a frak up?

Rieze · 10-06-2010 05:10 PM

Give them time. Dont forget about Children's Crusade. On a side note, Avengers #5, i think it is, has a timeline in it. Some rather interesting events planned... maybe.
