Valkyrie always seemed to me to be the closest equivalent to Wonder Woman in the Marvel Universe (aside from the obvious homage, Power Princess of course), so I thought that she should have a bigger presence. Now that she's a popular character in the MCU (well a Valkyrie at least, I'm not sure if she's officially Brunnhilde or not), perhaps that will change.
Wonder Woman previously met Valkyrie in STF #1357...
I was glad to use a WW image by the truly talented Jai Lee here. I was lucky enough to pick up a Wolverine sketch by him several years back:
I was gliding by when I noticed you had your high beams on. Those Horsefeathers are a lot more common than I thought. Any relation to Comet? Hell of a spot for a picnic, but great for a surprise battle. And that is not the Spear of Destiny right? This cover is worthy of an annual.
ReplyDeleteWhoa! When did Aragorn get super-vision? Or has Comet the Super Horse turn in his cape for wings? In either case, what do we have here? The result of collusion between Mandrill and Circe?
ReplyDeleteAs to the art work; interesting depiction! The hairstyle almost makes Logan resemble a Shiar impostor (a la "Erik The Red").
As far as I can tell, the MCU Valkyrie is indeed Brunnhilde, despite her darker complexion. At least, the MCU Fandom Wiki says so, and while that's not exactly an impeccable source, that and my memory will be good enough for me until I can rewatch Thor: Ragnarok to see if she has a name other than Scrapper 142.
ReplyDelete@Cary: Somehow, I don't think that that's Aragorn.
PS: If Valkyrie is the main Marvel counterpart to Wonder Woman, and Moon Knight is its Batman, who (disallowing the Squadron Supreme) would we put in for the rest of the Justice League? Makkari would the the obvious choice for the Flash, Falcon for Hawkman, and Hawkeye for Green Arrow. Nova is a less-obvious choice for Green Lantern. I'm not sure who would stand in for Superman, though... Adam Warlock?
ReplyDeleteExcept for Sam Wilson now being Captain America, the above characters would even work as an MCU Squadron Supreme (and at that he could always be an "auxiliary" member). I think it'd make a decent Disney+ series.
Then, it's got to be Comet magically mutated by Circe.
ReplyDeleteThat is; mutated even further.*
ReplyDelete*As I recall, he was actually a centaur named Biron who wanted to be fully human for his mortal girlfriend. Only to be made fully equine because he spurned Circe's advances!
@Carycomic: good memory! :-)
