    Jessica has potential I think. They'll probably revamp her image once the comic gets going, I do agree that the costume is a bit . . . outdated. I didn't even now what her superhero name was prior to this thread, the first I ever saw of her was in New Avengers: Breakout.

    I kind of like the costume. Really like it, in fact. Don't get all the dislike.

    As for her name, I think she was once known as Knightress.

    It seems like a tube top would be really impractical for superhero-ing.

    Nearly every superheroine costume is highly impractical. Ms Marvel's thong ass and thigh high boots, Starfire's tooth floss bikini, every Star Sapphire, Gamora's body straps thing...

    Honestly I think Jewel doesn't have it so bad. I was reading about this on scans_daily and someone brought up the lack of purple hair. I have to agree, it does add some nice colour and looks great, would like to see a return to that.

    Pasties and half a turtleneck that are used to form an "X" through negative space are incredibly practical.

    Wait, X-Men is about a group of strippers trying to make it to their gigs and extract payment from recalcitrant clients, right?

    Wait, I may be confusing them with the XXX-Men. Shit, this is just like that thing with the Fantastic Foursome.

    I wonder if a super-villain has ever tried to just rip off a super-heroine's top in order to cause a distraction so they can escape? I wonder if they would even let it phase them or just continue to kick ass while bear breasted and worry about modesty later?

    Eh. I feel like it's just an excuse to show skin, and the fleshy parts could have just as easily been covered with form-fitting fabric of a different shade, and the "X" shape would have remained the same. Not that it matters, as all superheroes pretty much look like they're wearing body paint anyways.

    At least Emma can turn into diamond, so the costume's not as impractical as it would be on someone who wasn't bulletproof.

    Someones never tried to get a pair of 83 inch waist, crotch-flattering shorts tailored before/.

    Also Grimm sucks. Though not as much as Reed and Sue so I guess hes ok.

    EDIT: These slogans make everyone sound like they're running for President or something, I'm gonna miss DR.

    Well, Ben is one of the more sociable Marvel characters. Look at Marvel Two-in-One, or his solo series from a few years back. Dude knows everyone. Plus, if he's still rich, he can bankroll the whole operation. And he has a great interplay with pretty much everyone, due to his Joe Superhero persona.

    I love the Thing though, so I'm probably biased.

    Ben Grimm is a great character, and it's a shame his solo series didn't take off like She-Hulk's did despite having a recognizable character and Slott at the helm. Honestly, I wish there was a Grimm & Johnny on-going, because they always feel like supporting characters rather than co-stars in the main FF book.

    If he had money, he could afford a second pair of pants.

    Or did they think we wouldn't recognize him if he was wearing different undies?

    I do find it amusing that the NA line up is Bendis pet characters, the guy that is in every book, and then suddenly the Thing out of nowhere.

    We'll probably find that the New Avengers will mostly be the ad-hoc collection that busted Luke out of Osborne's grip. That included the Thing, didn't it? Plus Dr Strange, Valkyrie, Daredevil, Iron Fist...

    You know, so far none of the characters in the NA make me want to buy the book. Luke Cage and Jessica Jones are meh, Spider Man is fun but not worth buying a book over, Wolverine can fuck off, the Thing I have no interest in and really should stay with the FF.

    Now, if they put Iron Fist in there I would be more interested. Really, he should be. He's not doing anything else right now, and the friendship between him and Luke would be fun. They are really best friends so I can see Danny coming along to back his boy Luke up.

    I'm starting to think they only include Wolverine so each team can have someone who can kill people and not have it matter.
