Your baby boy sounds darling! He has a crush on his teacher? :-) Does she know her student is dressing up in orange suits to try and get her attention? Maybe learning his spelling or multiplication tables will be more beneficial to him? :-) Is his teacher pretty? |

Back in 1982, writer Roger Stern & artist John Romita Jr. created perhaps the most powerful black hero in the Marvel Universe, Monica Rambeau. They created her during their legendary, and my all-time favorite run on the Amazing Spider-Man. Even before she got her powers, she was strong-willed & true. I love her classic, original costume when she used the name Captain Marvel. ![]() ![]() Shortly after her first appearance, the Avengers almost immediately offered her membership. ![]() |

Roger Stern was writing Amazing Spider-Man & the Avengers concurrently back in the 1980's. I recently read a slew of trade paperbacks from Stern's Avengers. She went from a new member to the leader of the team. Even before she became the leader which was a milestone for a black character, she was having to regulate her powerful & head-strong members. Normally, Captain America is the calming influence on some members of the team. Namor, the Submariner, and the legendary Greek god Hercules. Namor & Hercules have a love/hate relationship, and both are strong enough to battle an enraged Hulk on numerous occasions. Whatever.....Monica has no time for foolishness.

Speaking of Hercules, after his own overconfidence caused him to be nearly beaten to death at the hands of the Avenegers' enemies, his family mistakenly believed he was betrayed by his team. Zeus, driven mad with grief, gathered his children, the half-siblings of Hercules, and attacked the Avengers. Monica was just elected the team leader, now she had to lead the team against the legendary Greek gods. ![]() To top it off, the team's biggest gun, Thor, was far from 100%.

The Avengers were spirited to Olympus to face the wrath of Zeus. Several members, including Captain America, were injured. ![]() ![]() Here is Monica putting the smack down on the goddess, Artemis. ![]() One of the key battles was Zeus vs. Thor, but due to injury, Thor was not at his best. ![]() ![]()

Here is what blew me away. Monica, a sista from New Orleans, standing up for Thor....against Zeus. ![]() She quite literally....lite his culo up. ![]() ![]() Despite that, Zeus still stood. She did far more than Thor could. ![]() Neither Namor, nor the She-Hulk, could do any better. ![]()

These are the Avengers, and they are quite resilient.![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() The figure in shadow was Hercules, awoke from his coma to stop his crazy father from attacking his friends. This was a truly epic story that I think would work great as a live action film. I love how Monica's first mission as leader was against the Greek gods. Monica showed that she was on par with the gods of Olympus. Edited by Doctor Magnus Warlock, Sep 28 2014, 08:13 PM.

Monica kinda fell off when the 1990's came around. Thankfully she is featured monthly as the field leader of the Mighty Avengers, currently. The book will be repackaged as Captain America & the Mighty Avengers. Sam Wilson, aka the Falcon, is the new Captain America, and many are wondering if that will cause any conflict with Monica. I love her in front of the group shots, where she belongs. ![]() ![]() ![]() The guy with the red shades is Blade. As you can see, Monica & She-Hulk have been friends for a long time. Do your thing, Monica. Edited by Doctor Magnus Warlock, Sep 28 2014, 08:25 PM.
