She was a sympathetic character. I read most of the above mentioned issues at the time,and was puzzled that marvel gave up on the character. She was quite beautiful in human form , I thought Ben was an idiot to dump her. Then again, the whole ff team basically dumped her. Some friends they were.

I doubt what Wyatt said is much more than what Ben himself has said or expressed in the past (in fact, that 'you'll have to go through me' line seems like an almost irresistable invitation... though maybe that's just me) but the latter's virtually pushed off to one side. Shades of Leia and Chewy in Star Wars: The Force Awakens!<br /><br />I have to say, also, kudos to Marvel for trying a female character with a monstrous appearance that she had to deal with, in the vein of Ben Grimm. Makes a slight difference to other female versions of monstrous male characters...<br />(I was going to link to a She-Hulk pic, but just a quick google image search tells me that might be redundant for most comic readers' recollections)<br />Although for all Ben's angst over the past 50+ years, I don't know if he was so violently suicidal. It could easily be put down to Ben and Sharon's different personalities, but it also reminds me a little of 60s Star Trek, where the worst thing that could happen to certain female characters - especially Uhura - was to lose their looks.Warren JBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11743987856127631574noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4142199900369238852.post-305214747283164002017-01-16T19:40:44.910-05:002017-01-16T19:40:44.910-05:00Warren, perhaps it's as simple as Wyatt put it...Warren, perhaps it's as simple as Wyatt put it: "She's a good person at heart." There were also the words that Ben exchanged with her that may have had an impact in terms of her fighting the wrong battle; she's been raging about her circumstances for a long time, and I can buy the fact that she might simply be tired of railing against factors beyond her control. What I <i>couldn't</i> quite buy is the hug with Wyatt--I can see her standing down, but an embrace I would have expected to happen with Ben, not a virtual stranger.<br />Comicsfanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10064955427593820783noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4142199900369238852.post-65232116524491342402017-01-16T18:37:17.828-05:002017-01-16T18:37:17.828-05:00"The Ms. Marvel You May Not Remember"
I...<i>"The Ms. Marvel You May Not Remember"</i><br /><br />I knew there was a 'She-Thing' (the kiss scene tends to turn up in 'top ten bad ideas in comics' lists, and suchlike) but had no idea of her past as a new Ms Marvel before that, or her history after that. Thanks for that!<br /><br />Although I'm left a bit confused about what made Wyatt so persuasive.Warren JBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11743987856127631574noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4142199900369238852.post-19766368567759083352017-01-16T16:59:12.295-05:002017-01-16T16:59:12.295-05:00Thank you for sharing the story of Ms. Marvel that...Thank you for sharing the story of Ms. Marvel that I never knew. Now maybe I can quit complaining that my original characters The Ladies Of Portobelo will never have a comic book or cartoon series since they are not the "in" heroes.
