The Disney + She-Hulk series hopefully will include Jennifer Walters taking on superhero-related court cases. That will provide an opportunity to feature characters that might never get a movie or series of their own. Dazzler would be a great candidate for this, I'm sure there's something in her performing career that might require legal expertise.
So, if Jennifer Walters will take on superhero cases, does that pave the way for her ultimately to meet Harvey Birdman?
ReplyDeleteAn unexpected pairing that seems natural. And Night Nurse might need Jen's help too.
ReplyDeleteWhat?! Dazzler needing legal help? Impossible(s)!
ReplyDelete@Anon836: GROAN!!!!!
ReplyDeleteWhere's a vaudeville hook when you need one?
I could see Jennifer representing the likes of Patsy Walker, Emil Bronsky, and (as HHH suggests) Claire Temple. There are rumors that Matt Murdock might show up on the other side of the aisle from her (though it could also be on the same side). I could even envision her taking on a case for the Vision on issues of personhood and ownership. And it's only a matter of time before Samuel Sterns* rears his (increasingly) ugly head.
ReplyDeleteIn the STFU, those issues for the Vision could be touched on in a story with her representing someone like Red Tornado.
As for today's cover, it has a great look, but why Captain Atom? Unless things have changed since I last looked, Alison's mutant power is converting sound into light. Wouldn't her power-up involve someone with sonic powers, like Black Canary? (I'd love to see those two together in any event.)
Speaking of the great look on this cover, that's an especially good job on the SFX of Captain Atom's powers surrounding Dazzler. The blending makes it look like they were drawn together. I haven't been so impressed with this sort of thing here since #2595.
Seeing Kitty Pryde on that cover made me think: if the X-Men were to battle Brainiac, she could really create some havoc when she starts phasing through him. It'd probably be a major pain to find images to show her actually doing that, but the idea could be there regardless.
*For those who don't want to go look it up, he's The Leader.
@Bob: maybe that's part of the upgrade. The Leader wanted Dazzler's sonoluminescent* power for some reason. So, he used Amazo to duplicate Rogue's mutant ability, of tactile absorption, to get it. But, this has had the unexpected side-effect of _giving_ the latter ability to Dazzler! Sort of the polar opposite of the Mimic and the Adaptoid being mutually _unable_ to duplicate each other's imitated abilities.
ReplyDelete*Genuine biological term for "light-from-sound."
I don't see Rogue allowing Amazo anywhere within a mile of her. Not unless he first duplicated Mandrill's narcohypnotic pheromones!
ReplyDelete*Insert "shrug" icon here.*
ReplyDeleteThat still doesn't explain why the Leader would go to such complicated lengths for such a (somewhat) minor super-power.
@Cary: Maybe he and Prof. Ivo want something from Maximus the Mad. And Amazo, using Dazzler's power, could/would protect them from one of Blackbolt's super-shouts.
ReplyDelete@Anon152: I like that idea! It could even lead to a mistaken identity slugfest between the Light Brigade and the Silent Partners.
ReplyDeleteHow about it, Ross? Think a super-clash like that could be done for STF #3625?
ReplyDelete@Cary: Either of those two teams would be interesting to see paired with Blind Justice.
ReplyDeleteHey! You're right. It's been quite a while since anybody's seen them.
ReplyDelete@Cary: please tell me you did NOT just say that! :-(
ReplyDelete;-D
ReplyDeleteCary, that's ok. I thought that was very in-sight-ful.
ReplyDelete@Mike: YES! All hail the new king of punsters. :-D
ReplyDelete@Cary: Don't be too hasty about that. If you disrupt my vision, I might just make a "seen."
ReplyDeleteNow, now, now! Let's keep things at eye-level.
ReplyDeleteDon't you mean "see-level?"
ReplyDelete"Eye" give up.
