He used to be nearly as popular as Gambit and Cable and the like, and I think his energy absorbtion powers and time travel could translate into interesting game mechanics. And Forge too. He could be interesting with his power set. I can see a neutralization power, 5 turn countdown, while on the board the enemy team can not use any powers. Could be neat!

Malcrof wrote: Unreallystic wrote: Thor is a woman now!", If you actually read the comics, so many people and beings have been Thor, this was just another step on the path. Thor will NOT be coming back as we know him, he is back to just being Odinson, the title of Thor (regardless of what the movie said) belongs to whoever holds the hammer, be it Beta Ray Thor, Frog Thor, or the current Jane Foster Thor. This isn't diversity for diversity's sake, this seems to have been planned out years in advance. Really nothing else to add to the actual conversation, except this, i would prefer new unique heroes over retcons, Thor may be the only exception.. because in the 2 cases where the one other than Odinson was wielding Mjolnir was truly worthy, Odin made them their own weapons (Beta Ray Bill and Thunderstrike). Odinson knows who has the hammer (she whooped him, it was spectacular) and will not take it from her. So for Odinson to come back, and Jane to keep going would require making another weapon, which after Thunderstrike, it may not be possible. /end geek rant

Djimon Hounsou, in an interview promoting Guardians of the Galaxy, explained why he took a role in a superhero movie: His son went to him one day and said, "Daddy, I was I was white so I could play as Spider-Man." That's why he took that role. That's why we need diversity in media. That's why girls need Buffy, Barbie, and Michelle Rodriguez. That's why Marvel decided Spider-Man and Captain America should be black, and Thor should be Jane Foster. It's why we have Spider-Gwen, and why Kamala Khan is now an Avenger. Because we need characters we can see ourselves in. If you're white, you've never struggled to identify yourself with the characters you see, because you are the upside to a skewed system. You are an individual who identifies individually, so you can see yourself in any character. You can identify with Sam Wilson and Shang-Chi. People of colour don't always have that option because society is always telling them in a million little ways how white they aren't, how, "all of you people are the same." So maybe it is a little hard for them to identify with white characters.

Changing things for diversity purpose doesn't make me feel like "oh they got me", because as I mentioned previously, I expect it to go back to how it was with only a few exceptions (Nick fury being the biggest). Creating new characters that are diverse and PUSHING them, the same way the force feed us Deadpool and Wolverine is what would make me happy. In this game, I'm not worried about it. Not only is their a healthy number of black folks in the game, they are WELL represented, and strong. I'm not arguing against adding more, Deathlok, War Machine deserves a spot, Captain Falcon, Miles, Bishop, Misty Knight, etc would all be good adds, but I'm not really going to get up in arms about it here. I just dont' feel forgotten or biased...most of who's in the game makes sense. - Unreall
