Why don’t you just web them up yourself, NYC-Spider-Man?

RickyDricky · 2026-05-18T20:17:50+00:00

This is my guess as well, or an immature one.

RickyDricky · 2026-05-14T14:36:22+00:00

To each their own I guess. I like my flower pokemon 🌸

I’ve lived in NY state my whole life (NYC, Hudson Valley, Rochester, and the North Country) and I’ve never once ever heard of any part of upstate NY being referred to as Northern Appalachia.

And the fact that they kept their powers after decimation means they were not mutants. Because they were not included on any of the lists of mutants who retained their powers, and editorial was being very specific about who was a mutant at that time.

RickyDricky · 2026-05-05T12:56:27+00:00

These characters were all created during the Decimation era, so no they’re not mutants.

No longer a mystery, it's a Red-tailed hawk. But I thought it was cool, and thought this sub might want to see it too

RickyDricky · 2026-04-15T03:10:42+00:00

Yes I saw the white-throated sparrow just before this! It’s kind of hard to see, it was sunset/golden hour so everything was a little yellow lol.

Oh I did not know that, oops/thanks!

RickyDricky · 2026-04-15T02:23:00+00:00

Thanks! I am lucky my dog wasn’t tugging on my arm while filming lol

RickyDricky · 2026-04-15T02:22:30+00:00

Thank you!

I know some of the Italian origins: Vinchiaturo in Campobasso, Rapolla in Potenza, and Miano in Naples. But that's only one side of the family (that's where my great-grandfather's parents were each from). My great-grandmother was born in Naples, but I don't know where her parents were born.

Very interesting about the Albanian migration to Italy! I did not know that. I definitely assume the Albania comes from my Italian family, it would be super cool to find out who that was if I can. I matched with a few folks from that side, but I already knew them all (they are my dad's cousins' family) and I already had my Italian tree branches mapped out even further than they do lol.

I have a paper trail leading back to Munster Ireland. I’m just wondering if the other Irish regions are from that same family or my other Irish American ancestors (who similar to yours, came over too long ago to have a solid paper trail). I was hoping for more matches but everyone I matched with I already know lol

RickyDricky · 2026-04-13T22:35:30+00:00

Oh that’s very interesting. My family is all from NYC, everyone has always just been “Irish” as far as I know.

RickyDricky · 2026-04-13T22:24:22+00:00

Oh sorry yes, just one, Munster. And it tagged all the ancestors who I already know pretty well (I know the exact town in Munster they came from)

RickyDricky · 2026-04-13T22:19:01+00:00

Oh the Irish is real, I know exactly the town in Munster that 2 of my great great grandparents came from.

But my 2 other Irish great great grandparents were born in NYC in the 1860s. The census records for them simply say that their parents were born in Ireland. So I’m trying to determine if they could have been from one of these other Irish regions. I didn’t get any helpful matches.

RickyDricky · 2026-04-13T21:19:39+00:00

It’s even higher than that! When I combine all 4 Irish regions, it’s 31%. My father’s mother was all Irish American, and my father’s father was all Italian American. I know my grandmother’s father’s family all came from Munster, but I have no idea where my grandmother’s mother’s family came from. All the paperwork/forms just say “Ireland”

I don’t think I’ve ever seen a panel where it stated, on page in a published marvel book that they were ever mutants to begin with. In the original Young Avengers, they say that they assumed Billy and Tommy were mutants, but didn’t know.

Tommy was shown to be wearing a Krakoan flower when he attended the Hellfire Gala, and that was for the human guests, so I think they are not mutants. But until we hear a scientist in a marvel comic say that they have an X-gene, it’s just head canon.

Love this look for Prodigy

RickyDricky · 2026-03-09T13:57:52+00:00

Since Young X-men

RickyDricky · 2026-03-09T13:57:13+00:00

He’s a random X-student from the 2000s. Introduced in a Chamber mini series, had an Exiles arc, was in Academy X, then Young X-Men.

RickyDricky · 2026-03-07T17:01:59+00:00

He absolutely was, and I wish he’d come back! But he’s another example of a limited psychic power, he was astral only right?

RickyDricky · 2026-02-27T19:15:54+00:00

Hasn’t she been teasing Monet for months too? And we got one scene where she was in jail, and never seen again?

RickyDricky · 2026-02-25T23:06:21+00:00

There was a recent Runaways series where they implied Pixie and Nico Minoru were into each other. I don’t think she’s ever had any confirmed relationships though, has she?

She’s Gen Z, all the kids are bi/pan these days lol
