Wai-wai-wait.
Are we talking the tumblr stuff of Gillen's, or did I miss something somewhere along the way?

EDIT: Found it. The Marvel thing. Got it. Thanks buddy. Thought you meant Gillen's music video stuff on his tumblr.

Is it me, or does this not sound like Marvel Boy at all?

Noh-Varr has two saving graces. Firstly, he hasn’t collapsed completely. He’s instinctively a hero – his hedonism is almost impossible to separate from a hero. Superheroism as Point-Break Surfer-Zen, world disasters as a wave to be ridden and mastered. Everything has been taken from him, and he acts like a hero anyway, because being a hero is the only thing that has ever meant anything to him.

(Random aside: Noh-Varr was totally the Wesley Crusher of his Kree ship.)

His second saving grace?

He loves Earth. He loves it in a way which us Earth dwellers may find a little embarrassing. And we find it embarrassing just because he’s seeing it with fresh eyes and we’re covered by the tar the 21st century tries to funnel into our lungs.

But Earth is amazing. Marvel Boy realises it, and he’ll die in the hope that some of us will too.

Possibly. But I find it hard to match a "Zen surfer" with a fondness for Erath culture with the angry alien who gave Mnhattan a tattoo and had access to this:

Everyone starts somewhere, eh?
Pfft. Kids.
