I think Marvel recently detonated the Terrigen bomb to sidestep that 20th Century Fox Mutants barrier. That possibly substitutes in the word "inhuman" for "mutant". Consequentially, the 616 universe now has redundancy between the two populations.

Hah! I didn't even think anything of my misinterpretation of Storm's look. I just thought that was her thing; like some form of progeria (though I didn't know what progeria was back then). By that point in my life I had consumed a lot of folklore and fantasy horror, which pretty much inclined me to expect and accept…
I knew the Phantom from the Sunday papers (and, later, the Defenders of the Earth cartoon) when I was a kid. I never thought of him as black because I had seen him without his costume first. As an aside: I expected someone named B'wana Beast to be black (was that an unreasonable expectation?)!
Unfortunately, historical significance doesn't guarantee public popularity. In the comics he's currently in a good place, I think, because of his integration into the Illuminati book, and the fact that writers have made him an essential part of the X-men and Avengers story lines. However, his presence in other mediums…
Unfortunately, that was four years ago, and like all the other Midnight Sons, Blade just can't seem to land a more permanent and prominent gig. I don't think Marvel knows what to do with its magic and horror lines (even Dr Strange struggles to sustain a solo book). They should try disengaging Blade from…
I still associate him with Roswell, even though I knew him first from Deep Space Nine.
Unfortunately, if you're blatant about being manipulative it never works. She's no Puss in Boots. So, although I get what she was trying to accomplish, I don't get why she decided to be so obvious and exaggerated about it (unless, as Waxlion suspected, that was solely for the viewing audience: breaking the fourth-wall…
Yeah, like you I couldn't tell if the director told the actress to mug for the camera, or if her character really was doing a self-aware smarm. It was just weirdly artificial and looked overly-rehearsed. I know of the actress only through World War Z, but she totally behaved normally in that movie, so I know she's…
Yes, Blade guest-stars in other people's books, but he does so sporadically. To me, that comes across as Marvel doing maintenance on the character rights, LOL! "Guys, we haven't used Blade in three years; we need copyright activity and trademark refreshing ASAP!"
Yah, your familiarity with the current comics continuity would affect your perception of both Luke Cage and Black Panther. If you don't follow what's happening with the Avengers, your ranking of both characters will depend on how you know of them outside the comics (or which of them you last read in comics). Storm…
Well, I guess I'm defining "prominence" as being currently relevant and in the public's awareness. To me, Storm is the most visible, not just in comics, but in mainstream media as well. She is a big deal type of character.
Yep, Raina's behavior in the car was bizarre. It was super exaggerated, like you would do when you're condescendingly showing a child how mock-hurt you are, but I think she was serious. Worse that the dialog she had to deliver was not helping the actress whatsoever.
The most prominent African-American superhero in Marvel Comics is Storm. I'd say the Black Panther is 2nd most prominent, with Luke Cage sliding up alongside him within just this past decade. Then probably War Machine Rhodey and the Falcon (and maybe Blade) are the thirds (mostly owing to their presence in cartoons…
I think @corymccasland:disqus is fondly remembering that one time when Blob was hungry.
Touché. Sorry, diacritical police.
I like that no one has disabused you of your notions.
I wish they'd shown the fire sage using fire cups for healing, or even electroshock; anything instead of repeating the water healing gestures. I hoped that, just as each element has its own martial art, so too would it have its own healing art. Even just shaking burning incense over her while surrounding her with lit…
Sounds like Metalachi:
