Jocasta has a great design and interesting origin and in my opinion is always a welcome addition to any Avengers line up. I'm not sure whether she's hanging with them these days or spending time with Machine Man as she often does. It's high time she got the spotlight a mini-series of her own. She's spent decades as a supporting character, let's see how she does as a lead.
Great cover! This makes me miss the Classic Avengers line-up from the '80's! My favorite!
ReplyDeleteSome real possibilities!
ReplyDeleteHow's Challengers of the Unknown vs the Impossible Man? (or the Marvel universe?)
i'm not a robot ........with this cover? hoo boy!
Only a vague acquaintance with Jocasta, but I'm willing to get to know the lady better. Amazo is a Big Bad that loomed large in my early comic reading years. I always felt he could have been developed far more - as the kind of hero-villain Sub-Mariner was. A wasted opportunity. Maybe you can right that for him on STF. Amazo and his Amazing Android Allies?
ReplyDeleteHer solo mission, here, is one I'd buy in a New Yawk minute.
ReplyDeleteGenius pairing, Ross! :-)
And, yes, I'm not a robot, either. I've never even played on TV! Audio books for the blind, yes. But, never on TV.
This cover does indeed look like it'd have an exciting story within.
ReplyDeleteI think it'd be interesting to see if there's some way to bring Jocasta into the MCU. In the comics, she was built by Ultron, and that's a little impractical in the MCU, but shuffling heroes' origins isn't anything new there. A series for Phase 6 would definitely draw my attention.
Someday it might also be interesting to see Jocasta teaming up with her namesake Jedi archivist.
An interesting proposal on Bob's part! And I've got the near-perfect premise. Jedi Master Nu has come to Earth looking for the long-lost scion of two more Jedi Knights from the Old Republic. And with her dying breath, she names the biological parents in front of her cybernetic namesake and the rest of Robo Force.
ReplyDelete"Her mother...was Bultar Swan. Her father...Danva. Joclad---Danva!"
The only remaining question: Is that child's name Linda or Carolyn?
Yes, I know. They're already supposed to be biological sisters. But, look at it this way, Ross! You could make it a two-parter, at least, while making up your mind as to whether or not the similarity in surnames is just a red herring.
@Anon: seeing as this is the Rossverse, why couldn't Fred and Edna Danvers have separately adopted _two_ orphan baby girls, and merely _raised_ them as sisters out of convenience?
ReplyDeleteamazo. amazu. Could he become a great photographer? great artist? His counterpart on
ReplyDeleteJ L unlimited seemed to be able to develop in any way it wanted.
Amazo vs Namor - Battle of the points of Ears.
Amazo was programmed by Ivo. What does it want to do now?.
ReplyDeleteTeam up with Ultron, perhaps? Agreeing to destroy each other's enemies?
ReplyDeleteWho would Amazo be willing to partner with? Who would he "trust"? For how long? Would Ivo have long term plans that he might not take part in?
ReplyDelete@Comment Deleted: Well, Amazo is among The Totalitarians, so there's that.
ReplyDeleteBut can he adapt Super-adaptoid' s and Mimic's abilities too?
ReplyDeleteBoth the Mimic and the Adaptoid of Earth 616 proved mutually incapable of duplicating each other's acquired abilities in their one-and-only run-in. So, I doubt Amazo would be the exception to that rule!
ReplyDeleteGreat cover, Ross.
ReplyDeleteWhat was it that Jocasta knew?
ReplyDeleteThat Tyler killed Tippecanoe?
