    Hm...if his power is density control, shouldn't he get larger or smaller? Or does he use Pym particles to push and pull the mass, like Reptil does when he goes full dino?
    don't overthink it. comic book writers are, generally, not scientists. Vision can get really really hard or intangible.

    Yeah, you're right. But, I'm a physics major, so these things tend to pop into my mind. It doesn't take away any enjoyment, and I actually like coming up with explanations on how these things work. Like a game.

    So I could have skipped getting all those degrees before writing my first script??!
    "John Stewart. LAME! ...this guy having a ring is like giving the batmobile to a blind old woman with her left leg in a cast."

    "Pym biting Blobs head off seems like something that would have happened when i was ten years old and playing with action figures."

    "i always assumed that [the blob] had the same powers as his 616 counterpart because, if simply being a huge fat guy was enough to be considered a mutant then there sure are a lot of mutants in 'real life'. "

    Ok:
    They've said that Pym particles are linked to another dimension (the Microverse?), where they transfer mass to and from. Maybe, which happens is determined by electricity. When you run a positive charge through a Pym particle, it wormholes matter out of the dimension. Negative, the opposite happens.

    It'd be interesting to see a certain mix of reboot and relaunch. the past few years have been very convoluted and full of crazy-ness.

    I hope Phoenix brings an iron and irons all the convolution.

    so then Pym, Jan, or the Lang's mentally run a positive charge through their pym particle infused blood to activate the mass transfer?

    Reboots never do that though. DC should have learned that lesson a long long time ago. Layering retcon after retcon after retcon just makes things a bigger mess.

    99% of the time you're better off just leaving it be and moving on.

    Pretty much. Sort of like how muscles react, with electric shocks. They have said that they mutate somewhat, and in MA they showed that Pym has a genetic modification treatment to allow growing and shrinking. Whatever Skrull-Pym rigged, to kill Wasp. Eric got all of his from his suit, so that would be much simpler.

    So, how's that? Would that make sense?

    The Phoenix doing something to make a story less convoluted?

    You have much more faith in that plot device than I do.

    If I were in charge of the Avengers office, this is how I'd dole it out.

    Avengers-Hickman/Pacheco
    New A-Remender/Hardman
    Captain America-Bunn/Immonen
    Iron Man-Gillen/Kubert
    Thor-Asmus/Asrar
    I'll keep Fraction/Aja on Hawkeye as I haven't seen what they have to offer on the book yet.
    I'd also have an annual Hank & Jan mini with rotating creative teams.

    What about Secret? I think Parker would be good on New Avengers, and keep Remender on Secret.

    Is it selfish that I'd want Hickman to do his Parliament of Doom in Avengers instead of FF?

    What to do with Thunderbolts and Academy though...I'd probably merge the two and let Gage write it. Or, in a perfect world, give Bendis Thunderbolts since he can draw in readers.
