I can't remember who created him right now, but Japheth was the first in a series of "experimental" mutants that ended up giving the world questionable gems like Beak, No-Girl and Glob Herman.

This is where editors are necessary, the creatives will run far outside the lines if they don't hear "no" every so often.

Most the X-men characters created after Claremonts original run (1975-1992) were :hhh:

You might be referring to Grant Morrison's run on X-Men, but Maggott was created before his run began.

That character is gross.

My boy Maggott! :krs:


Other than Sync and Prodigy, ain't too many Black male mutants. (And no, Bishop doesn't count.) :francis:
I stopped reading after I got tired of waiting for them to create a strong black male lead.

Bishop is weak AF and they couldn't even clear up whether he was black or aborigin.

He's got exactly the same powers as Carol Danvers Captain Marvel but they put limits on him because.....reasons...

And how the heck you're named Black Panther and forget about Nezhno :gucci:

You're right, but I meant moreso in terms of writers at the time gaining an understanding of the value of creating their own characters and being credited for it in the long term. Once Marvel had to pony up with Stan Lee, the gate opened a bit.


Marvel only just settled with Ditko's estate in Dec '23. :francis:

Synch is reduced to an old man in a prof x wheelchair in the coming X-Men comics. Probably got one of the best powers in the Marvel universe, but can't ever let him shine :mjlol:

Could you imagine living with her? Constantly trying to feed you her a$$hole ice cream. Or worse tricking you into eating it!
