Moonstone is, if I recall, crazy powerful; which is probably why she was able to pass herself off as Ms. (Captain) Marvel back in
Dark Reign. Flying brick powers, zap-hands, pretty sure she can fly through walls and survive in space; and she's not the type to just knock over the corner bank, she could use her powers to make bank legally or sort-of legally. For instance, I'm pretty sure she could put a satellite into orbit way faster than SpaceX or whatever, and she would probably only reasonably gouge you on it.
I was momentarily afraid that I had mis-remembered and Tigra didn't have tracking/sense powers; she totally does.
Hmm, so Moonstone basically did what Doc Samson and Ringmaster did to the Hulk during Peter David's run only, using in a more modified way. I have to say, an integrated MK like the one she's created would be a sheer beast of a force to deal with. Ha, nice helmet though. And a Moon Shaped shield is defintiely something Disney could've marketed to kids if the MK Disney + show was more kid-friendly. Maybe if he's ever included in the Avengers and/or given his own movie I could see that happening.
ReplyDeleteNice cliffhanger there. What's up with Sat? Hesitant to fight a fellow Thunderbolter due to Thunderbolt code? Maybe not wanting to mix it up w/ Khonsu? Probably something else, so I trust you.
Speaking of, you ever planning on doing a pregnancy scare angle for Sat? I'm sure her and Kurt are both very careful, but accidents happen...
I doubt that would be a problem- a spell of protection would be enough to keep anything from making it through.
ReplyDeleteI'm almost positive that Sat's out because of Thunderbolts code. Those sort of things cover all sorts of angles.
Even with The Ultimate Moon Knight (or whatever you want to call him), I don't know if that's enough to be working on a citywide scale. Moonstone's still hiding something. And, I know I'm the one who said 'a body's a body' but I feel like Marc, Jake, and Steven all have different scents.
I know Daredevil noted Typhoid Mary had a different heartbeat and respiration from Mary Walker. Presumably a different voice and scent, too, since he couldn't tell they were the same body. So the same holding true for Marc, Jake and Steven wouldn't be unusual.
ReplyDeleteAnd I was also figuring it was "Thunderbolts Code" that was keeping Satanna out. The only other thing I could figure was something about not tangling with deities in different belief systems, so no crossing Khonshu, but I can't see her giving a crap about that.
A question: does Typhoid really have a different scent/respiration, or does Matt just tell himself that? She did set a lot of stuff on fire around him, sure; but sometimes Matt will make honestly infuriating choices. The X-mas issue with the drink with the disguised Mephisto, DD says something like somebody who robs one dollar could be as bad as somebody who robs a million: I thought that was a violent crime vs. blue collar issue, but instead might just be Catholic guilt bullcrap...We're going to see Matt again in the strips soon; let's see how pissed off I am at him.
ReplyDeleteGoo threatening to put Matt through the motherloving ringer. Love it, want some more of it.
ReplyDeleteCorrection to my previous post: The thing about Typhoid and Mary's differences was noted in a scene where Kingpin's watching some video about her (when he's figuring out she's the perfect weapon to use against DD). That's where it's noted Typhoid and Mary have different brainwaves and heartbeats and so on.
ReplyDeleteBut Matt seemed to need it spelled out they were the same person, so I'm assuming it fooled his senses somehow. His radar sense didn't pick Typhoid up properly for some reason, I'm guessing to do with her telekinesis.
Daredevil seems to enjoy guilt, as long as he can use it as an excuse to do something other than confront what he feels guilty about. "Did I cheat on Karen and ruin my life? Better go fight some possessed subway! Apologize? Nope, no way." The Man Without Fear, everybody!
