Songbird Appreciation

[Countgate]

Melissa Gold was a troubled runaway who turned intro a wrestler and a villain and formed a romantic relationship with Angar, the Screamer. But he got killed in a bank robbery and she screamed in sorrow until her vocal chords got burned. Then, Baron Zemo offered her the chance of participate in a plan to conquer the world while posing as heroes. Melissa accepted and she became Songbird. Little by little, the once villain, turned into a respectable hero, and one of the most interesting Marvel characters.

Let's talk about Songbird here, and what you expect for Melissa in the Heroic Age.

One of my favorite characters,A heroine created with a interesting & compelling Backstory that doesn't rely on her being sexually assuallted to be "deep" and very cool visual power set, A full bodied functional costume and a kick-ass attitude

With this being the year for the Woman of Marvel, I expect a solo series or a mini in the works

[Gitaroo_Dude]

I appreciate that Bendis hasn't gotten his grubby mits on her yet and tarnished her.

I appreciate the 12 issues Ellis had to work with her.

I appreciate her hair.

Her Hair must taste like Cotton Candy

What comic is that picture from again?

I believe its from that oneshot Thunderbolts special. Each character got their one shot before the kill songbird arc.

What they should have showed is that hot picture of her against the wall waiting for Radioactive man.......Jeez that was a good one!


Love me some songbird and hope she takes over the Thunderbolts and make it an actual great redemption team for villains. She seems very good at converting people to the good side.

AMAZING idea for a thread! Songbird is my favourite Thunderbolt, after Karla and Zemo! Her character arc is one of the best in Marvel, in my opinion. Songbird IS a hero born!!!

And it's a few heroines who isn't a female version of a male character.

And I hope too, Songbird centered stories usually are great. Maybe she will be in one of the Avengers titles and they didn't want do spoil.

Ellis run was great, but my favorite Songbird story still is the serach for Hawkeye one.

My favorite TBolt was Fixer until the silent issue. That story showed how great Songbird is.

Absolutely agree! It's hands down my favourite Nuff Said! issue, because it could capitalize on the visual feast of Songbird's power. Plus it gave a great reason why no-one was talking (bravo Fabian, always did amazing tie-ins!). I generally am not a fan of the colour pink, but with Songbird it always works so well. Few other heroes (in my opinion) look so awesome (not just bad-ass, but AWESOME) using their powers of Mel.

AMAZING strawberry picture, by the way!

I think pink color suits her because is a huge constrast to her personality.

[CMBMOOL]

I'm a fan of her, as she has been through almost everything but actual book printing.

I mean having a role in Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2 and even a spot on the Superhero Squad show. She is truly going places.

I'll be surprised if she's made an Avenger after the events of the Siege.

over a decade before Pixie was created

Her costume could do with some heels.
