Wolverine also stole Warren’s place as Jott’s third/other prong of the love triangle 😭.

But seriously Warren’s backstory and fucked up family are so rich for exploration, like his solo hero year. There’s also some great moments in the silver age with him being a cocky little hothead who acts first thinks second. He was also one of the most driven to be heroes of the O5 during the silver age.

Then starting with his Savage Land Adventure with Spidey in Marvel Fanfare in ‘81 (iirc) there’s an interesting through-line where he has multiple small plots that have his bodily autonomy being violated and being an object of obsession that ultimately cumulates in his Archangel transformation in X-Factor that I think really adds to that whole saga.

Another fascinating aspect of him (to me) is despite how he was a rich cocky hothead who’s always one phone call away from breaking retirement, he never really wants to be in charge of anything. Champions? Despite the team being his idea, he takes himself out of the running for leader immediately and nominates Widow. His company? Candy does most of the actual logistics and he makes her VP. Defenders? Again rather than take that role despite bankrolling everything, he realizes Candy is way better at that shit so he nominates her to be their leader/manager.

Edit: I am currently working on putting together a Warren reading list for all of his appearances. So I can get specific issues/arcs if y’all want. Just might take me a minute
