I think that's one of the quibble points, confusing the SS-Serum's improvements to physical capabilities with compounds that have detrimental physical influences while perhaps at first giving some improvement to physical abilities. The SS-Serum isn't something Captain America takes on a regular basis and would suffer detrimental side-effects if cut off from it or from overuse. Ho

Are those fan stat pages? I ask since all the official material I've seen for him has never suggested he regenerates even to a mild degree, otherwise we wouldn't have references to his physical scars from time to time (even if we never actually see them). I've never seen anything to suggest he even mildly regenerates or heals outside human norms (albeit at the peak healing rate a

Well Quesada seems to be more about 'do it the way I would like to see it rather than what all the marketing guys say is acceptable to the market', like the oldtime TV executives for NBC, CBS, and ABC would do. They'd cancel shows just because they didn't like them no matter what the market share or demand a line-up heavy with shows that they liked even if the vast majority d

Something I've no idea where anyone gets the idea of it from, unless it's power creep. Which would be ironic with so many arguing that Cap's 'totally normal human' in spite of the SS-Serum and surviving decades in a block of ice to declare he can regenerate. At best we'v seen that for a short period he had Super-Strength (somewhere around Incredible I think) so if

Wouldn't Shapeshifting allow for Elongation as a power stunt at the same power rank or one rank less than the base power of Shapeshifting? The entire point of the power is being able to manipulate your form, with the size limit for the basic power pretty much a guideline for adopting forms significantly larger or smaller than your own. We often see characters like Morph and the Skrulls get

Considering Forge has always been drawn up as the mature and experienced veteran warrior like Cable was when he was introduced it fits having him be older than everyone else. Plus given his mutant and magical heritage they can better explain him still being relatively youthful as a Vietnam vet than they c

I just noticed (and can't believe I never thought about it before) but Forge is definitely missing the Military and Guns talents. Heck his original introduction and flashbacks for his past tend to center on his Vietnam trauma where he used the souls of his dead comrades to call up a demon gate on an enemy then called in an airstrike to cover up his actions.
Also would Forge be considered

Thor #5 - 16 years ago
With the publication of Thor #5 looks like this has been definitively answered, with Loki (of course) managing to see to it every enemy of Asgard was freed to take up residence on Earth as their new home; including Hela, the Frost Giants, Trolls, and 'him'self (although talk about a genderbender being reborn as a woman).
So does this mean then that the Earth-616 plane is now a defini

Wouldn't surprise me, when you look at the range of retcons and outright stupidity going on at Marvel anymore. I know, Spider-man gains the Time Gem and uses it to pull Uncle Ben forward from just before he got shot so that he never died. That'll make up for the discontinuity of the retcon wiping out the Spider-man 2211 material and the alternate Uncle Ben that showed up as well as Au

It always seemed to me that he was more called in for help as an outside contractor you might say, instead of a card-carrying agent. Either way he still had an aversion to the use of guns and other lethal ordinance once the war was over even if he was a member of SHIELD.

Check out events during the Second Secret Wars where the skrulls lost their shapeshifting powers due to that genetic bomb, you'll see the use of a power armor that required someone with advanced control over their powers to utilize, as it functioned as a 3-dimensional matrix and micro-porous construction. Even with his plasticity Mr. Fantastic couldn't have entered into it to use it.

And once he was out of the war and a civilian he put aside the use of guns and other potentially lethal military weapons because as a private citizen he wasn't licensed for the use of such and because he was tired of death and didn't want to resort to such lethal means of dealing with things.

Marvel has dozens of species at an evolutionary dead end (as depicted in the X-men annual for one), and with thousands of species seen so far having only one in that position is unrealistic. But the events of Kree-Sh'iar war and the Maximum-whatever storyarc have been retconned away using the lameness with Genis-Vell Marvel introduced in recent years. He was Marvel's excuse for a back

More like the introduction of mutant Skrulls is the retcon, not the concept that the skrulls are at an evolutionary dead-end as a species. Consider that comic-book evolution is NOT what we consider evolution. As is mentioned later evolution's 'purpose' is for an organism's species to adapt and become suited to its environment, comic book evolution sees evolution having a

Because they just didn't have the science and technology to create a tailor-made virus in the 40s, but they could have through trial-and-error produced a chemical/radiation combo that'd physically enhance someone.

They did have that lame What-If? where the SS-Serum WAS used as the latest drug of choice, giving short-term physical boosts due to the formula released to the public being tampered with, and supposedly the only way to 'cure' the problem was to have the newly-freed from the ice Cap drink a formula that'd revert him to a normal human.

He has the potential to work some incredibly vast changes, but only within the boundaries of whatever his agreement is. The nature of his contract with Parker and Watson was for the restoration of May Parker to full health and make the world forget Parker's secret identity and unable to perceive any records of it, at the expense of their love, making it as if they'd never met and marri

Makes for great reading, and has lots of nice ideas, like the teraports and availability of bulk matter-to-energy conversion processes as well as cheap fabrication facilities. The wormhole gates and bulk replication technology available through them was also fascinating. Kevyn's great, must have at least an Amazing Reason, bordering on Monstrous.

I'm not sure the SS-Serum really qualified as a steroid, super or otherwise. It in combination with a particular radiation treatment effectively caused rapid tissue growth and development (the radiation meant to stabilize the process), ending with a permanent enhancement to the physical body. Given the era involved it's an implausible retcon to call it some kind of virus when we didn&

Which the 'It's Magic' excuse fails so miserably in that Marvel's never been about such flimsy excuses. The committment to continuity and plausibly required them to give things that worked with some kind of rules and foundation, even the magic. I also seriously doubt Quesada forced the changes out of a 'love of the character'. He took 'I think the wedding was

You're neglecting the fact that Stark was only upgraded with the Extremis relatively recently and up until then he was totally human, just smart for a human. The Extremis itself isn't something you could consider a power per say either, it's more along the lines of cybernetic or bionic augmentation and not natural to him like the powers of Namor, Richards, Black Bolt, and Professo

Well Stark doesn't have any powers, unless you count his intelligence, and I don't think I've seen any indication that the Skrulls can instill augmented intelligence into their Super-Skrulls (otherwise the original Super-Skrull would have been far more dangerous than he already is), and Reed's powers really just augment your average Skrulls Shapeshifting powers.
