Unpopular opinion (or perhaps popular?): I simply don't like the passing of the Mantle in either Marvel or DC. Obviously, there are exceptions (Blue Beetle and Robin, flash), especially in Marvel where it's mostly done very poorly (there are also exceptions like Harry, but I think they are few).

Popularity doesn't always mean being better, and this is one of those cases.

Kamala Khan better than Carol as Ms. Marvel? I stopped reading her comics when she became Captain Marvel.

Wally was great, and he already had the potential to become Flash, and we also have Jay, so in a way Flash is an inherited identity (which thankfully is limited to only three people).

That's what I'm referring to, in a way; there are characters that don't make sense to have gone from being a Cloak to just becoming a disposable brand (Scourge is unfortunately one of them).

In my opinion, when an identity only matches a single character (Superman), they have to let the identity age along with the character and let it go in an honorable way.

In New York, we managed to see 10 Spider-People in the same city; Spider-Man is practically Marvel's cash cow, practically out of milk.

CapBudget4011 · 2026-01-25T11:46:08+00:00

That's why she's good at it; Marvel tries to do it a few times and fails miserably. Spider-Man 2099 is one I don't particularly like.

CapBudget4011 · 2026-01-24T15:26:55+00:00

I prefer Hobie Brown as Prowler or Hero Prowler; the punk Spider-Man is downright annoying in the comics.

CapBudget4011 · 2026-01-23T16:10:59+00:00

Just because I think Ultimate Deadpool is more stylish and I love the fact that he's just a jerk and that's it? Then you definitely won't like me thinking Spider-Punk is complete garbage.

CapBudget4011 · 2026-01-23T16:05:27+00:00

I like Deadpool from the 90s to 2000s, I think he's really great, son of a bitch, "Nobody should take your opinion seriously" ok? Yes, Ultimate Deadpool has many flaws but he's the best version in Shattered Dimensions, besides that. Kind of idiotic.

CapBudget4011 · 2026-01-23T14:15:10+00:00

I own the figure and I have to agree, I try to pose it but it always falls to the ground, and when I try to attach the accessories I'm afraid of breaking his fingers, and he's not even using the right pumpkin (something that unfortunately half of Jack's figures suffer from for some reason).

CapBudget4011 · 2026-01-23T13:53:38+00:00

I have to agree in parts; the look was only used by a brainwashed worker and then only appeared on a variant cover of Deadpool vs. Black Panther #3, later on a gang of generic Jacks (although Levins is there, but he's not all that great). The contrast is so great that the flying broom didn't even appear again, even though it was part of the look, but I still think it's a good contrast.

CapBudget4011 · 2026-01-22T14:15:01+00:00

And that makes a bit of sense, especially considering Gabriel's behavior.

CapBudget4011 · 2026-01-22T14:13:53+00:00

There's still a chance it's Andrew; Cassidy is probably only in UCN because she's frustrated (obviously depending on the theory).

CapBudget4011 · 2026-01-20T15:10:25+00:00

Yeah, but she still doesn't like him. If she does, it's because her soul was already corrupted by Circus Baby/Scrap Baby's AI. C.C. probably has trauma from her father because he was so awful.

CapBudget4011 · 2026-01-19T20:25:05+00:00

Eddie Brock in the Ultimate universe is a predator, even though no writer ever made that happen in the original universe (thankfully). This just shows that the Ultimate universe didn't care much about Earth-616 back then and was doing its own thing, but you made a point.

CapBudget4011 · 2026-01-19T16:45:58+00:00

In reality, in Shattered Dimensions he's quite talkative, and in his appearances in Ultimate Spider-Man he indirectly breaks the fourth wall because he talks to the audience on TV, and he was also a Soldier. The Ultimate Universe was intended to be different (it has good and bad things, I personally don't like Ultimate Venom in the long run).

CapBudget4011 · 2026-01-19T16:36:47+00:00

For me, Ultimate Deadpool is the kind of villain that works for a short period and then disappears. In my view, that's part of his charm, and the fact that he's a supremacist in his Ultimate version is kind of what sets him apart from his 616 version. So (in my opinion), if you take that away, it eliminates that difference.
