If you live in the marvel universe

[rzerox21xx]

Im curious and ask myself this sometimes. you live in the world where you would get easily involved in a super hero battle, attack by a monster, with mutants.

how would you feel about mutants, would you consider spiderman a hero or a menance. insurance gonna suck. would you stay away from new york snice all the major superhero stuff happens. alien invasions, vampire, demons, ghost rider.

just imagine if you are a father and your 13 year old son just got his mutant power manifested, your nieghbors will hate your son. or you wander somewhere in the marvel universe where you can get killed. you go to the canadian woods and then there's wendigo. or you would vacation to a paradise like wakanda or latervia which is like going to north korea, kinda.

you go to a bank and then comes electro robbing your money and then you see spiderman. or you are a mutant and minding your business and then you see the x-men coming to your house telling you about xavier school or in a bad scenario, a sentinel lands on your lawn or magneto try to recruit you.

how you feel about monsters and aliens being real. heck, atlantis being real and dinosaurs still exist in the savage land. kinda cool and interesting but dangerous too huh? I woudl be afraid to come out at night if there are vampires and werewolfs as well as a supernatural threat that blade, ghost rider or doctor strange is used to deal with. or if my neighbor is a skrull hahahahha

[Arrogantcur]

If I were living somewhere other than New York, I'd probably be glad I didn't live there. If I did live there, it wouldn't be long before I thought about moving.

[rzerox21xx]

hahhahaaha. oh man I forgot, if hulk rampage in your town.I hope I would be smart enough to be his friend. I wouldnt want to live in new york either.

it would sometiems sucks to live in the marvel universe but hey, atleast Im not asking what would happened if we live in the age of apocalypse where most likely we would be all dead or marvel zombies universe were we all ended up chow

[Will.S]

Nothing ever happens to Staten Island.

Bwahaha!

[Chino]

If the MU were the real world I would be out trying to obtain powers of some kind myself lol. Or at least learn some crazy martial arts or magic stuff so I could become a hero :cool: ...or just get lots of guns and a leather coat.

[Hulk_Is]

Personally, just like these days, I wouldn't feel safe anywhere. Super Heroes and Villains go at it all the time, and while the Hero may try to contain the battle, it can spread into your area, and possibly kill you. The Hulk may be my favorite character, but in real life, IDK if I'd be too fond of him.

[rzerox21xx]

Im christian myself and for those of any faith, I wonder what would happened to your faith or belief if gods like Thor and Hercules walk among us and beings like Galatacus and thanos. I would imagine to believe in God would be more of a challenge. atleast ghost rider would be evidence that there is a devil or demons and angels even though it wont be a black and white as in the bible especially with good demons like Damian hellstorm or bad angels like the ones Ghost rider is currently looking for.

most people of faith would just consider thor and the others to be advanced alien entities. i think it'd be even easier to believe in god since miracles would, literally, happen all the time.

[rzerox21xx]

wow, there are so many possibilities and what if for us if we do live there. I mean this for those in the military, how you would feel that instead of being deploy in iraq, you and your army buddies have to take on the hulk snice the military is so persistant on taking him down. or a freaking skrull invasion or being attack by mutant terrorists

[Monty_Cristo]

why would people even want to enroll into the military or become a cop in the marvel universe. you'd always be taking a backseat to some flashy vigilante who has more power and less risk of dying.

[carswell13]

If I lived in the Marvel Universe, I'd move the hell out of Oklahoma before a Frost Giant eats me.

[Ghost Shark]

I would so do She-Hulk.

[Mr. Earl Brooks]

I would so do She-Hulk.

First of all, it would be more likely that she would do the doing, and second I don't think you'd have to try that hard.

[Monty_Cristo]

First of all, it would be more likely that she would do the doing, and second I don't think you'd have to try that hard.

Wolverine rejected her. i repeat, the guy who married Viper, rejected her!

[GalactaSurfer]

Id be looking for Luke Cage so I can hire him to stomp out some dirty cops here in New York.

That and i would go around trying to score with all the SuperLadies :wink:

[carswell13]

I'd get piss drunk with Pip The Troll.

[The Black Guardian]

I'd be pro-vigilante, anti-Initiative, pro-mutant.

If my kid was a mutant, I'd hope she would have the confidence in herself and me to tell me. Then together, we'd book the next flight to Westchester or San Fran or wherever the X-Men are hanging to enroll her. Next, I'd move there, take an active roll in her education/superheroing and be an all-around proud dad.

If my wife turned out to be a Skrull, then instead of freaking out and running away, I'd do plenty of experimenting. *winkwink*

Cuz that's the way I roll.

But knowing my luck, I'd be one of the normal folks that never had anything interesting ever happen in their lives. :)

[CyberHubbs]

Since I'm not a teenage chick, I can forget about being Wolverine's sidekick. So, instead, I'd hang around scientists and their laboratories on the off-chance that some secret experiment goes awry and I end up endowed with the powers of a GOD!

Or at least a cool mutation.

I'd also be Pro-mutant and pro-Initiative.

[rzerox21xx]

I would stay away from people who study occult stuff snice they usually summon some menance that doctor strange have to fight off. or if there some strange artifact somewhere, I assume that might summon some sort of ancient evil like the n-garia, damn I wonder if they really do eat your soul, even if they kill you, you wont go to the afterlife. I hope that is not literal.

I would wear a cross or stay away from creepy people at night thinking it might be a vampire.

man supernatural stuff scare me more than aliens, super villians and evil mutants.

[rzerox21xx]

I remember reading maximum carnage and wonder why people live there or go out with a mass murderer like that. or inferno were new yorkers had to deal with a demonic invasion, or onslaught and sentinels overrunning new york or even that midnight sons crossover siege of darkness(I dont know why ghost rider, and his allies were the only ones dealing with this. the avengers, ff, and x-men should have been on that)were this mist would cover parts of the world and people inside would melt or get eaten by lilin. there the kang dynsasty when he blew up washington dc. wow. you might need meds for anxiety living in that world. especially new york.

[MakeshiftHero]

I dont think it would be that hard to believe, sure there are things that come along and shake a believer from their faith. It happens in everyday real life. Even characters in the comics are people of faith. Dust and Nightcrawler from X-Men, Ethan the Skrull from MK Spider-Man are such perfect examples. It would be interesting for a comic with any one of the 3 previously mentioned characters to talk about if they think Thor is a real god or not, but they know he is flying around and their still strong in their faith. And I think not only would it be the same but living in that kind of world would make it easier when the FF have talked to God and been to Hell.

First of all, it would be more likely that she would do the doing, and second I don't think you'd have to try that hard.
I'd so take it from She-Hulk

And along with the other posters I'd be trying to obtain powers myself or go off planet and be a space adventurer.
.

[rZi]

If i lived in New York i would probably wont to move. Alot of stuff goes down in NYC on a daily basis! And the Xavier institue was just outside too, and thoese pesky mutants are always causing trouble!

[StoneGold]

If the MU were the real world I would be out trying to obtain powers of some kind myself lol. Or at least learn some crazy martial arts or magic stuff so I could become a hero :cool: ...or just get lots of guns and a leather coat.

Heh, you'd so be cannon fodder in the next crossover. You know you'd be on the approved kill list, right?

[boshobosho]

First of all, it would be more likely that she would do the doing, and second I don't think you'd have to try that hard.

Which is why I'd love to live in the MU.

Though, as a point, we'd finally get to see how practical some of these female's super heroing costumes really are.

[Whitster]

I was gonna say be glad I live outside New York, then I remembered Londons been totalled about 3 times in the last few years of Marvel comics.

[mimic_616]

I'd probably be really uneasy about mutants. Teenagers that can blow up buildings and bend metal with their mind every times they got pissed at someone? No thank you!

Also the thought of the Hulk attacking or even worse Galactus? No. Just no. I'd live in a basement. :frown:

[rzerox21xx]

1. if you live in canada, never go camping in the woods or you'll get eaten by wendigo

2. never wander at night in a alley or anywhere in case you get attacked by a crook or even a demon or vampire.

3. wear a cross or any religious artifact, or decorate your house with that stuff in case a vampire or demon is around or dont invite anyone at night snice vampires in the MU dont go anywhere unvited.

4. if you see a strange artifact, leave it alone, make sure everyone leave it alone, contact dr strange or the avengers to see into that so you dont have to worry about a supernatural menace like the n,garia.

5. never practice the occult because the marvel universe make demon summoning and spells are real with bad consquences.

6. it would help if you have your bomb shelter in case of a alien invasion or if you want to survive a stamford or if kang will destroy your city like he did with washinton dc.

7. dont live anywhere near supervillian prison especially if mass murderers who have the habit of escaping like carnage.

8. dont join the military or instead of going to a pointless war, iraq, they might you do something even more pointless and chase the hulk and not leave him alone.

9. mutants can be your friend. so is atlantieans, inhumans, maybe a occasional skrull(lyja). even if magneto does take over, if you were in mutants good side, he will most likely have you be treated good. if apocalypse take over, then you are screwed no matter how much you like mutants

10 a giant green monster can be your friend, so dont piss him off, he not out to hurt you, all he want is to be alone

man Im sure there alot more things like dont make deals with the devil because it will happened and you will go to hell or don't become a cop because you will most likely be cannon fodder for a villian

[Azure Owl]

If I lived in the Marvel Universe, I would lobby for the government to force people like Reed Richards and Tony Stark to make their FTL technology available for everyone, so interstellar human colonization would be possible. Maybe even sponsored by the private sector

I mean, look at the tremendous stupidity of the Illuminati. They have FTL tech, and have found a peaceful and perfectly habitable planet. Do they try to sponsor an extrasolar colony there? Noooo, they kidnap one of their friends and try to maroon him there against his will!

Considering the prodigious amount of crap that tends to be attracted to good old Terra in the Marvel Universe, you’d think they would’ve tried to start a few colonies by now, just in case that… I don’t know… the Skrulls conquer the planet, or Galactus eats it, or Ultron blows it up, or the Elder Gods turn it into Hell, or God knows what!

Having a couple of colonies in some quite part of the universe would go a long way towards insuring that the human race doesn’t go extinct if anything happens to Earth.

[mikekerr3]

why would people even want to enroll into the military or become a cop in the marvel universe. you'd always be taking a backseat to some flashy vigilante who has more power and less risk of dying.

Duty , Honor Country they same reasons as now,

If Glory is a major reason you serve you are better off not serving, In the MU or the RW. Or wait until you grow up.

[Tobias Drake]

If my kid was a mutant, I'd hope she would have the confidence in herself and me to tell me. Then together, we'd book the next flight to Westchester or San Fran or wherever the X-Men are hanging to enroll her. Next, I'd move there, take an active roll in her education/superheroing and be an all-around proud dad.

*shudder* I would never let my child go near Xavier's Deathtrap for Gifted Students. I'd want my kid to learn to use their powers responsibly, not to be part of one man's secret mutant army. I would also rather my child learned the joys of integration between the two races, rather than segregating away from all the normal folks in his/her own special school where he/she never had to interact with people different from him/her.

Everything about that school rubs me the wrong way.

Where would he learn to use his powers responsible, A school; run by a Psycopath, A Skrull and a Nazi. With a choice of an criminal and a complete incompetent as trainers? Its not like there are any other options.

Gifted people in real life need some separation' of the non-gifted in schooling and a ability to spend time with their peers. A regular high-school can be a nightmare if your just too smart or "different" in any way. What would it be like for a mutant?

[mgs]

If i lived in New York i would probably wont to move. Alot of stuff goes down in NYC on a daily basis! And the Xavier institue was just outside too, and thoese pesky mutants are always causing trouble!

Exactly! I mean what better excuse for work or school...'Um, some villain or the Hulk [or somebody] just totalled the subway (my car, my neighborhood, etc), so yeah, I can't really make it in today'. ;)

[Monty_Cristo]

Where would he learn to use his powers responsible, A school; run by a Psycopath, A Skrull and a Nazi. With a choice of an criminal and a complete incompetent as trainers? Its not like there are any other options.

you must not be reading Young X-Men. the new kids are a bunch of assassins.

[Magneto Rocks]

Where would he learn to use his powers responsible, A school; run by a Psycopath, A Skrull and a Nazi. With a choice of an criminal and a complete incompetent as trainers? Its not like there are any other options.

Well, since two of the three are gone and the Nazi doesn't actually run the school at all- not to mention that we haven't seen any particularly incompetent training, I'd say Camp Hammond's a much nicer place now than it was a year ago. Throw in that they've only had one student death ever (Well, two, I suppose- Dragon Man) and the people responsible for both those are gone.....

...Well, you then compare that to Xaviers. With its habit of being blown up and having its pupils crucified, murdered, "cured", etc, etc.... and then, yeah, you remember that the leader of the school these days appears to occupy his time by creating death squads and actively siccing kids on enemies to kill them- all the while he vacations in a tropical paradise- and I think it's a clear choice.

Seriously, I know you despise anything remotely pro-reg but you do realise Cyclops these days does 99% of the things you hate most?

[akumasan]

I would so do She-Hulk.
Man she'll break your weapon Think about it what if she reaches an orgasm?:eek: As strong as she is she may take over the bedroom. Does she hold back. I hope that I have the strength of Herc for me the hit that.
Wolverine rejected her. i repeat, the guy who married Viper, rejected her!
I dont get what the women in the marvel U like in a short hairy troll?

Exactly and i agree very strongly. I would snap if cyke or one of the teachers show up to my house asking for my kids. I know for sure that I would be one of the parents that would be involved and dayum near create a mutant version of the PTA.


But for me I would like to have the abilities of energy sourcing (solar) and telekinesis. Also rather than have xavier or the inititive knock on my door. I'll just wont use my abilities at times. I'll use it to get the things I need to enhance them but not for combat to be dumped off and fight. Of course they'll come around asking for me to join. Also I would so be an asshole or make jokes on a number of the "boyscouts" in the MU.

Matter of fact i would be the type of person that isnt a hero, anti-hero or villian. i'll do me and do what I must. But since baltimore is rarely involved in anything im good.

They last issue showed the same Pym as before sending kids to their deaths.

Gauntlets incompetence was shown in MVP's death that was shear stupidity, live fire with new recruits and no protective measures taken. A read DI would have gone to jail for a decade or two.

His participation in the cover-up. Showing ethical behavior is part of what comprises a DI's job.

The Congress critters behind Gyrich are still in charge and Gyrich got away scot free. So I foresee no major change on that front, they will just install anther thug.

When Cyclops become a guy who hunts down people for no other reason than governmental panic and to feed the mob I will agree with you on him being like Stark,

I think Cyclops is a dick and have said so but not nearly as bad as Stark. At least In the X-men there are some people in power who actually care for the kids. At CH the only one that seemed to want to protect them in the first class was the Skrull.


How did they fit a year of training in between CW and SI, looks like CH training lasts about a month or so. Only 2-3 months have passed max since the CW ended.

[Un0]

I'd find out where the hell Hypno Hustler has been.

[Tobias Drake]

At least In the X-men there are some people in power who actually care for the kids.

....and who might that be? Aside from Cyclops using some of the kids as his personal death squad, the rest of the kids have been thrown out on their arse. Ask Surge, Hellion, or Anole just how much the people in power in the X-Men care for the kids.

Armor's still around because she proved herself useful. Who knows what happened to Elixir, but he's a resource I strongly doubt Scott's going to dump. Laura was taken away from her psychological recovery so she could be assassin X-23 again, completely destroying all progress she had made for the sake of Scott's death squad. And a few of the kids are being mobilized for another hit squad, which actually seems redundant alongside X-Force. The rest of the kids can go to hell for all the X-Men seem to care.

Who, exactly, is in power that seems to care for the kids? They've been used, abused, and then cast out when they were no longer convenient.

[Hit And Rum]

I'd get Stiltman's old suit and stand outside all the stadiums and watch the games for free.

[Jeremi]

I’d go scavenge for the Basilisks power gems he’s been dead for like 20 years real time and no ones thought of picking up those babies? I’d be a beast!

[Seikun21]

....and who might that be? Aside from Cyclops using some of the kids as his personal death squad, the rest of the kids have been thrown out on their arse. Ask Surge, Hellion, or Anole just how much the people in power in the X-Men care for the kids.

The X-men just went through a war, and the students had a terrible year. Sending them home and not forcing them to stay as mutant soldiers was an act of compassion. Of course a few of them wanted to stand by the X-men and feel abandoned by them but that's not necessarily the case for all of them, the X-men have made sure that they're all safe and taken care of. And now they've slowly started to take back some of the willing students and are training them once again. Or at least taking care of them.

So far Pixie is going to be featured in Uncanny and Armor in Astonishing.
Elixir was last seen in X-Force alongside X-23 (and Wolverine has already stated that he didn't want her there, he knows that this is a large step backwards for her, he cares. But it's her choice)
Dust, Rockslide, Blindfold, and Wolfcub are being used in Young X-men where Cyclops is most likely being impersonated.
Martha Johansson was actually remembered by Beast in Mike Carey's Divided We Stand story and then taken with him (presumably) to the new base in San Francisco.

Surge and Anole were on the cover of Young X-men # 6. It doesn't mean they're on the team but they haven't been forgotten.
Mercury is going to be in the X-men: Manifest Destiny mini.
Nezhno is going to be used in Yost's Storm series next year.
Trance will be used in the Wolverine: Killing Made Simple oneshot.

Out of the student body before Messiah CompleX that leaves Prodigy, Hellion, the Stepford Cuckoos, Match, Loa, Indra, Onyxx, Bling!, and Ernst unaccounted for (11 students out of 25).

But we haven't even really seen the post-Uncanny X-men 500 status quo yet. We already know that Cyclops only "disbanded" the X-men in order to get Tony Stark and the government off his back. And we've heard rumblings of him restarting the school in some capacity.

Mike Carey said that he'd be using the former New X-men in the Secret Invasion: X-men mini. And Peter David has promised that a former New X-man will join the cast of X-Factor.

So I don't know if all of the former students will reappear post Uncanny 500, but they haven't been forgotten and you can't say that the X-men don't care about them. They've given them the chance to live in the real world again and live normal lives. The X-men have trained them to use their powers responsibly and how to survive if they're ever attacked. That was the whole point of the Xavier Institute, train them, teach them, and then let them go back into the world. Not everyone has to become an X-man.
And ignore the Skottie Young Anole story in Divided We Stand, that was just horribly out of character for everyone involved. In fact most of the Divided We Stand series should just be ignored

[MakeshiftHero]

I'd find out where the hell Hypno Hustler has been.
Drug overdose, died 20 years ago. Thats what the police report would say. It was just never a big puplic issue.

But come on, am I the only one who would be a space adventurer. Doesn't intergalactic travel, smuggling and being an all out bad ass semi pirate(Han Solo/Corsair style) sound good? This all comes with alien/tech implants and abilities/powers.Maybe even a bit of power cosmic??

Then after I was done getting rapped by She-Hulk, like the other posters, from a quick stop on Earth, I'd go get myself "destroyed" by Gamora. Wouldn't be able to walk for a couple days, but oh well.

[Asian_Invasion]

I would be moving to Alaska. Get away from all the super-powered people.

[MakeshiftHero]

I would be moving to Alaska. Get away from all the super-powered people.

Untill you guys get hit by The Collective again?

[Chino]

I would be moving to Alaska. Get away from all the super-powered people.

Read Messiah Complex? :tongue:

[And_Hex_begat_Awesome]

I would get a job at the next A.I.M. recruitment drive and sign up for every crackpot human enhancement experiment they need a volunteer for. The guys would be cool; we'd rag on the Serpent Society and steal HYDRA's mascot and stuff. Professional henching is where it's at. Just stay near the back and know the quickest way to an escape pod when the heroes come.

But what if you get turned into the next M.O.D.O.K. that would suck.

With any luck, I'd be turned into M.O.D.O.L., Mental Organism Designed Only for Loving. Hello, ladies. Daddy's home.

[Joe Acro]

Well, if I lived in the Marvel universe the same as I do now, I'd be in North Carolina. Nothing terrible ever happens in North Carolina in comics. So, since it is a super society, I imagine the only difference would be me being more paranoid.

[Tobias Drake]

Nothing terrible ever happens in North Carolina in comics.

I have often wondered about this. Wherever superheroes go, be it North Carolina, Russia, the moon, another dimension, anywhere they go to they will always find supervillains to fight. This leads me to wonder: are there no metahumans where comics aren't showing, or are the supervillains simply going unopposed? Do places like Oklahoma and New Hampshire have no super-powered weirdness going on whatsoever, or does super-crime just have nobody stopping it in those places? Or, alternately, perhaps they just have competent law enforcement.

[Murrocko]

If the MU were the real world I would be out trying to obtain powers of some kind myself lol. Or at least learn some crazy martial arts or magic stuff so I could become a hero :cool: ...or just get lots of guns and a leather coat.

Magic, I'd learn so much magic and throw in some martial arts. Now I wouldn't necessarily be a hero, but I'd be well equiped enough that if the hulk or the green goblin decided to rampage through brooklyn I'd be able to defend myself ..... and otthers I suppose.

[Cyclopsj316]

I wouldnt live in new york.

Hell, I think the north pole becomes suddenly appeasing ...

I think that Super-villians will be scarce in rural OK now though:biggrin:

The States they don't show tend to have populations that shoot at criminals raising hell in the street.

[Raptor]

Assuming I know nothing about mutants, secret identities, super hero motives, etc. I'd likely be afraid just like most people. I'd do some thinking, realize the initiative is a bad idea. ( if I were a hero, I'd go do my justicing in a country that appreciates me and give the finger to the US)

I'd likely take some time to quell any bigotry in my heart as I do now and find out there are good nad bad mutants.

I'd reccommend a bullet for Banners brain. I'd tell Tony Stark, thanks for all the hard work, you're still and asshole, and now you're power mad. Go F*** a tree!

I'm smart enough to know I'm not good looking enough to score with any superhero ladies or mutants. Which of course means I'd actually get off my ass and work out hoping my fanboy heart might get some. In then end, I'm too smart to think it'd work.

I'd probably get smoked while trying to so the Punisher thing but I'm not good enough.

If I had a mutant kid, I'd keep him from Xavier until said child was of age to make it's own decisions. (for those of you who ask what age that is....I'd say once they start being at least half as logical as I am...likely age 12-18)

I'd be just as inspired by Captain America as anyone, but he wouldnt be my favorite hero still.

As a person seeking where my spiritual side lies, knowing Gods, like Thor exist would royally screw up my views on that.

In hte end, my life wouldn;'t change too much, farms in IL don;'t get much attention from supervillains, much like we don't fear terrorists attacking us. However, after the first accident, I'd move to Wyoming or Montana, where even less intersting htings happen.

I'm sort of a vindictive fella, so I'd go seeking fortunre, super powers etc once I lost my family or friends due to some stupid hero/villain/anti-hero screwing up/"helping"/attacking me.

If I know what I know now ( about comics that is) I'd be pro heroes, even vigilate justice (suits me fine). I'd help them all as best I could, right until I got killed by falling debris or vengeful villain. God help me, I'm just not bright enough to leave well enough alone.

I have often wondered about this. Wherever superheroes go, be it North Carolina, Russia, the moon, another dimension, anywhere they go to they will always find supervillains to fight. This leads me to wonder: are there no metahumans where comics aren't showing, or are the supervillains simply going unopposed? Do places like Oklahoma and New Hampshire have no super-powered weirdness going on whatsoever, or does super-crime just have nobody stopping it in those places? Or, alternately, perhaps they just have competent law enforcement.
Well, more often than not, when a hero travels to some largely ignored (in comics) part of the world, they conveniently do so at the same time as some well-known villain. Or perhaps they're tracking that villain.

I think it's likely that villains, like much of society, fear change. And so the idea of changing cities, let alone states or countries, to do their operations might make them apprehensive.

Or perhaps those areas do have heroes to oppose super-villain, but they're more along the lines of neighborhood heroes--little press, rarely seen, keeps a low profile, etc.

If I lived in the Marvel Universe, I'd live in Smallville, Kansas. NOTHING ever happens in Smallville, Kansas :p
