They Killed Cap!

I think Ronin of the New Avengers is actually Steve Rogers.

I'm not totally sure I follow. If I'm understanding this right, I'm not sure that there are many people that would consider the Hulk a hero, so I'm not sure how he could push the pro-reg point. Keeping in mind that I have no idea where the Hulk's intellectual level currently sits.

My point is this:

When the Hulk returns to earth if he's

A) Rampaging crazy hulk then he's going to go into his break stuff routine, thus reinforcing the Pro-Reg side that people with powers need to be registered or contained.

B) He comes back as Banner/Hulk hybrid and is STILL PISSED that his supposed friends tricked him into space then jettisoned him through a wormhole. Even as Banner, he's still gonna be looking to get even. Unfortunately the people he's gonna be looking to get even with are on, and in Tony's case leading, the Pro Reg side.

Right. It might be that Hulk will redisign the Iron Man armor into something that you set and forget, but I suspect that at some point he'll become less than discriminating in his destruction.

The Hulk isn't subtle, his rage will almost certainly put innocents at risk, and that's not something that either side of the registration debate will stand idly by and watch. Heck, it's more than possible that the heroes on either side won't stand idly by and watch ANY lives be endangered without springing into action. The enemy of my enemy is my friend. Hulk will be the common enemy, and the common ground bringing the sides back together.

All speculation of course.

Currently, the Hulk's intelligence is pretty good. He's not a Banner-level genius, but he has an instinctual feeling for fighting and commanding. Plus now he's a king and a husband!

I eagerly await World War Hulk, but the simple fact that one of the first announced issues is Hulk going after Professor X (who had nothing to do with the betrayal) makes me lose faith a bit.

Professor X definitely DID have something to do with what happened to Hulk.

Prof X is a member of the "illuminati", the secret society of marvel movers and shakers that came up with the plan to put Hulk into space.

Illuminati is Iron Man, Prof X, Reed Richards, Dr. Strange, Black Bolt and Namor.

Yeah. That's exactly what I wrote.

Could you please not put spoilers in the subject?

Lol. Well given that it's on Marvel's front page, every comics news site, and arrived in my email (in the subject header no less!) since I subscribed to Marvel's newsletter the original poster prolly figured like I did, that it wasnt a spoiler.

And again, NO WAY this is really him.

Are folks this naive? Marvel brought in an A-list writer, relaunched Cap's title, put an A-list art hotshot on it, AND made him one of the focal points of their big event, all to make Steve Rogers, Captain America, relevant again.

And it worked.

And NOW they're going to kill him?

Have you guys never read a comic before? This is how the game is played.

BRUCE WAYNE, MURDERER. Shocking!

EDIT: My mistake, it should have the 50 State Initiative. Apologies for my limited geographical knowledge.

No problem. Somebody caught on to my goofaw on one of my earlier posts. It's fun to laugh at ourselves; although not as much fun as laughing at other people.

Did anybody get the Civil War:Initiative one-shot? It's got this little comment from Pro-Reg's own Ms. Marvel: "He's not [dead]."..."He's tucked away safe on the raft. No one knows. NO ONE. They're trying to save his life even as we speak."

Hmmmm.....

Vigilance · Mar 10, 2007

^^^ Wow. What a shock.

You mean they didn't relaunch his title, put an A-list writer/artist combo on it, and make Cap the focal point of their big event of 2006 just so they could kill him?

I'm shocked. Shocked I say!
