@raf Nice! Unfortunately Psylocke hasn't held up well, but she's still a good figure.

On a side note, is it really worth the time and effort people going through to denote certain characters as the 'real' version or 'fake/pretenders' or whatever? I get that everybody has their preferences, I really do. I do too; I like certain characters in certain roles over other characters in those roles. But just because I like Wally West as The Flash, does that make him any more, or less, of The Flash than Jay Garrick or Barry Allen?

If you want to denote which version of a character you're talking about, then just say which version. Saying things like 'the real Wolverine' when talking about Logan, or denoting Sam Alexander as not really being Nova just because he's not Richard Rider, or the Quasar example that got me on this tangent, it just makes you look bad, like you're snubbing anyone who likes a different version. It's almost a variation on the 'No True Scotsman' fallacy.

Wholeheartedly agree. It isn't clever to belittle legacy characters, a concept which has existed within Marvel and DC comics for decades. Whether Marvel is currently creating an influx of diverse legacy heroes or not, it doesn't change the fact that a younger protégé stepping up to helm the mantle is a tried and true technique of superhero comics.

Like Bucky as Cap? Sam? Danielle Cage? You could just be a fan of Steve, that's fine, but it is possible to enjoy multiple versions, and it doesn't make you less of a fan to like newer iterations.

I know his comment was lost in the SDCC mania, but huge amount of respect to DarkToyLord, who didn't think much of Kamala but gave her a go and now at least appreciates her.
