Dirty Deeds w/ Darkstar!

[worstblogever]

Dirty Deeds!

"Dirty Deeds" is a series of threads where a discussion can be held about the morally questionable, or outright evil acts of characters in comics. It might be a discussion about times a hero crossed a moral line they shouldn't have, or a discussion of a villain's most horrific acts in their history, but the premise remains the same.

Where possible, a poll will be included to vote upon said character's "dirtiest deed".

Please do remember that there are no wrong answers, this is all a matter of opinion. Since everyone has a different set of morals, please try and respect differences in people's own beliefs.

Sometimes, Dirty Deeds is all about the appreciation a regular of these forums has for a character. They just can’t help to want to clear the air, and assure everyone that their most beloved characters are either above any wrongdoing, or they want to talk about how awesome they are when they get their hands dirty. This time, we’re going to talk all about X-Forum regular Azure’s favorite mutant from Mother Russia. I’m of course talking about the late, great…

Laynia Petrovna…
Darkstar!!!

She’s been a member of the Russian Winter Guard, one of the Champions, and even a member of X-Corporation (until her head had a window put in it by Fantomex)! Now, vote for what you think is the worst of Darkstar’s “Dirty Deeds!

http://images3.wikia.nocookie.net/marveldatabase/images/5/50/Darkstar_%28Laynia_Petrovna%29_marvel.jpg

[Azure]

- Throwing Fantomex from his fourth-floor window? (The Darkstar Wars (vol. 1) #4)

- Attacking Sasha Letunova, her replacement, despite the fact that Sasha was possessed by Blackheart at the time? (The Darkstar Wars (vol. 1) #7)

Fan-wank twaddle.

Fan-wank twaddle.

Fred Van Lente-approved canon.

[Majinoaw]

I'm tempted to troll you about the Darkstar Wars for sake of turning into a full blooded-heel...but WBE - you gotta include her acts from the Darkstar Wars.... It's gotta be canon. Make an allowance please.

[darknessatnoon]

She doesn't count as an X-Man. Move the thread.

[Ryan W]

The list is too short to be relevant.

[worstblogever]

She doesn't count as an X-Man. Move the thread.

Whoever said Dirty Deeds threads were about X-Men?

She was a part of X-Corporation, anyways. That's like, gotta qualify her for health benefits.


The list is too short to be relevant.

It's pretty damned short, alright. I had to go over what Azure PM'ed me and then check to see if there were any that were missed... and I think I only stretched it from like eight to somewhere in the low teens.

When you're preceded by Quicksilver, and Exodus had a thread floating around, in comparison, you'll seem pretty tame.



But if nothing else, at least Azure can't say I never did a Darkstar thread. (double negative, for the win). And I'd also like to discuss the last picture I posted of her...

WHAT THE HELL IS UP WITH ALL THAT HAIR?

[Azure]

Anyway, the best thing about Darkstar is that she spent the entirety of The Champions being a Mary Sue, so she got to solve all the problems that were thrown at the team. Apart from this one time, when she accidentally released the Queen Bee from Swarm's pendant, and chaos ensued, that is! But then she moved on and spent almost all of her time being fooled by evil characters into fighting The Avengers and murdering civilians. I most liked when she broke Iceman's heart, though, and he only got over it once he persuaded Mystique to take Darkstar's form in the bedroom.

Also, I like the fact that she was somehow aware of the existence of a giant metal underground box somewhere around the San Andreas Fault, even though she'd never been to America before. "Don't punch your way out of the giant metal box, Hercules! You'll knock San Francisco into the sea!"

Oh, and she was the one who tried to kill Rampage by doing something mechanical to his suit which made him implode. And Natasha Romanov was jealous because Darkstar was prettier and more agile than her.

Sunfire had it coming. We love you Bill Mantlo!

[Azure]

And I'd also like to discuss the last picture I posted of her...

WHAT THE HELL IS UP WITH ALL THAT HAIR?

Young Darkstar had amazing hair! To see more, read Wolverine: First Class #7-8!

Oh, so they can be about unrelated characters. I apologize. I didn't understand the Dirty Deed "brand name."

You should accept that Darkstar is Vanisher's nemesis, and that she will soon return during Necrosha to terrorise him one last time. YAY!

Attempting to capture Black Widow and other "defectors" while attacking the Champions HQ?

Attempting to murder the Vanisher by using her powers to cut him in half?

Attempting to kidnap Dr. Ironwood and have him build an anti-matter bomb?

Killing Threkker, and attempting to kill Quasar to avenge her brother?

No, that's something else, entirely, it seems. The scene where she turns down Bobby, that I've seen, has her running from the room while protesting against his love, and most of the Champions are privy to the incident.

Sadly, Wasp's never been an X-Character, or even more than a one-off guest star. Darkstar is probably the biggest stretch of any of them so far, more so than even Henry Peter Gyrich.

Although, I have been considering Namor. But finding issue summaries of his dirtiness all the way back to the Silver and possibly Golden Age? Not gonna be easy.

Not close enough. Maybe if I ever get through my full run of X-Forum "Dirty Deeds", I'll take it to the Avengers board for more fun, and do a few there. I'll ask mattbib, as this run winds down here.

Although, I am quite frightened of the prospect of doing these threads on the Spider-Man Forum, for fear of every one of them somehow coming back to debate BND/OMD.

Ooh, well, I'm glad you asked. It's from 'What If.... Colossus Never Joined The X-Men', a one-shot from a long while back. I think we can all say that things would be better if he hadn't! (Apart from Magik fans, because Xavier killed her with a tractor, or something)

Try doing a Peter Parker dirty deeds and one of the first five posts wil be something like "making deals with the devil." Guaranteed.

I think it'd take more than one, but less than three. It's a given, unless Peter starts molesting children like that creepy chil-mo Skip did to him that one time.

I should have known. Everything he draws is just phenomenal. I wish Marvel would hire some of the talent found on these boards. Literally, I am majoring in Illustration right now and I have dreams to work at Marvel. If these guys can't make it (or have no desire to) then I may as well just like drop dead.

She's Vanisher's nemesis, he's terrified of her. Chris Yost and Craig Kyle have a great grasp of continuity, so I feel confident that this is the direction they are intending to take. Now I think of it, I'm not so sure that Laynia is even possessed. She's just angry.

And the capitalist pigs don't like her when she's angry. Nyet.
