Quasar: Who would you choose? *Possible Spoilers*

[aniscape]

Ok... so by now we all know what has happened to Quasar. He was atomized by Annihilus and the bands are now currently being cared for by Phylla Vell.

My question is this. In the Quasar mini coming out later this year if you had the choice would you like to see Wendell regain the Quantum Bands and restablish himself as the rightfull owner of the Quantum Bands and true protector of the universe or do you really believe that Wendell had his day in the sun and it's time for someone else to get the Quantum Bands?

Wendell Vaughn the man is my hero and I personally think that he hasn't even yet begun to show his true potential. Given the right creative team I believe the Wendell Vaugh as Quasar could be an amazing cosmic character for Marvel!!

Vote well!!

Or would you chose Phyla Vell, a character unencumbered by nearly a decade of mixed storytelling? The cloned daughter of legendary hero Captain Mar-Vell she seeks to prove herself as Captain Marvel, as well as establishing an identity for herself in a new age of space drama.

:)
(Thought somebody should make the pro-Phyla pitch)

Also, she has lesbian hotness!
Beat that, Wenny!

[Enigmanaut]

Wendell. Every time.

[Expletive Deleted]

Wendell.

That said, there are perfectly valid reasons to go with Phyla. Her limited number of appearances to date give writers more freedom in terms of characterization, she brings diversity to a subgenre that's basically white guys and aliens, and there are some interesting legacy angles to explore. And, perhaps most importantly, she's not in Gruenwald's shadow. Wendell is, in a lot of ways, Grue's character.

i'm totally against anyone else being called 'Quasar' because it's not a title. it's actually a pretty goofy name. is 'Elvis' is really dead, the name should die with him. can't she just use Photon like her brother did?

[SalazarSleaze2]

Wendell is dead.
Let Phyla keep the bands and yes, so NOT use the Quasar name.

I completely agree with this. Also, I've just never cared for Wendell--ever--so it doesn't bother me to see a character I do have an interest in gain some momentum from his death.

I don't think "Quasar" is any goofier than "Photon," and I'm not really sure why you do. Of course, I don't really care for either one.

Quasar is the name he chose for himself, to establish his own identity outside of CM. So like others the name should die with him.

First he got "Bill Foster'd" now he gets "Firetorm'd" lol, man they weren't playing when they decided to go another direction.

I voted against Phylla.

Someone has to stop the Vell family's rampant identity theft ring. Genis stealing Monicas identity twice, and Hulking stealing Hulks... now this. They need to be stopped.

Ha ha. Well, to be fair, Monica and Wendell have both taken code-names of other heroes, so maybe it's just karma.

To be fair ;) Wendell never took anyone's name. Marvel Boy was given to him by S.H.I.E.L.D. which he then changed to Marvel Man... and when his father told him he thought the powers of the bands came from Quasars that is when he then chose it for his name.

Wendell would never take on someone else's name and the moment he wasn't in S.H.I.E.L.D anymore he changed it...

nope no karma here if anything people like to piss on Wendell and they expect the fans to just roll over and take it. And yes I am more bitter today then I was yesterday... I fluctuate... hopefully after a good nights sleep I will feel better so I will just apologize in advance for today :evilsmile

No iffense to you Deus Ex...I like you ... you snarky person you :D

A question: Did Phyla actions in Anni #6 sway anybody?

I still don't like her assuming the name, but she did at least show some backbone in #6.

Well, she did nothing that bothered me, but she didn't do anything exceptionally extraordinary either.

She grabbed the bands, put them on, then got blasted. I guess we can say she did better than Wendell did (though he was dealing with a much fresher Annihilus).

Uh, she saved Nova's ass, is what she did. She rammed Anni, took the bands and blasted him. Then anni blasted her, before Nova jumped down his throat.

I really sympathize with the Wendell fans, my favorite hero, Thor, has been missing in action for what 2 years now? Quasar's death was not in vain though, he saved millions of lives.

I voted for Phyla. Who was the last female to feature prominantly in the Marvel cosmic arena?
