HELL-O and SORRY for my bitching mood.
Today i have my war shoes on.
As a long time x-men fan, i was SOOOO happy when they made Northstar (the first open Gay superhero) an x-man. In a comic that is supposed to fight discrimination to the minorities, it was a big step since what´s-his-name(Jim Shooter) said "NO GAYS IN THE MARVEL UNIVERSE". (ME TARZAN YOU CHEETA @$$hole caveman)
THEN they kill him in 2 different storylines (or was it 3, 4 i lost count), bring him to life BUT make him evil, reprogrammed him more evil, yada, yada, yada. I was pissed but at least he was back.
He is (supposed to be) back in x-men, a good guy again, new powers (more powerful), "new" personality (he is still a lovable jerk), and so on and on. BUT they only use him in like a few pages. DOING NOTHING MOST THE TIME!!!!
I know there are WAY to many people in Utopia, BUT NOT EVEN IN THE NEW story arc in uncanny x-men, where he is supposed to be PART of the street team, he is ONLY in a few panels.
DC comics have like 1,000,000 different Flash, AND THEY ONLY RUN FAST BUT THE HAVE THEIR OWN COMIC (2 or 3 actually).
Why is it so difficult for marvel to put Northstar in a comic, even if not his own solo serie? He is faster that Quicksilver, but even Quicksilver used to have his book (crappy as it was), can flight, have explosive blast (thank you, children of the vault) semi-invulnerable, stronger than average (not hulk strong, but strong [he destroyed a steel door barehands in x-men: Supernovas]) and yet he only is ALWAYS a background character....
AND TO MAKE THINGS WORST is not enough that capcom have lame @$$ Sir Arthur (I don´t know why is Sir Arthur pissing me off) instead of VERGIL BUT marvel ALSO put Super-Skrull, M.O.D.O.K. AND F*c**ng Shuma-Gorath (DLC none the less AND VS brainwashed sexy costume Jill Valentine {hint, hint brainwashed as the reason of her VS Northstar}) in the game instead of, lets said, Northstar??!!! (NONE OF THEM HAVE A FANBASE {super-skrull maybe})
WHY THE HELL?
Is it because he don´t have costumes? no he have like 5 different (classic, the end, red alpha flight, blue x-men, hydra and children of the vault (look in my gallery
fgomez.deviantart.com/gallery/… for some of them) so it is NOT the costume.
Is it to difficult to put an speed demon in a fighter game? NO, IT IS NOT. (See flash in DC vs. MK, the only fun character to play with)
Not enough powers? Come on, I designed his specials powers and hyper combos (on paper
) and i am NOT a game designer.
Don´t have a fan base? YES HE HAS!!!
There isn´t enough market for him? I am sure that most the gay community will buy the game only because there is a gay character in it.
SOOO WHY?
It is january, year of the lord 2011, and it is so sad to said, STILL the only reason he is not in some relevant role is because he is gay.
May God bless all his children.
