Yes, they still didn't mention Hellcow. I guess a 17th century swiss cow that got bitten by Dracula and turned into a vampire and now occasionally teams up with Deadpool isn't weird enough.

[@XLR8Games]

[@ScreamingScallop]

She's smart, too. She gets openly pissed at DP for indulging a torn-comic-book-page time loop in which she burns to death in sunlight and he keeps eating the "delicious" roast beef. Even though she can only moo, when DP finally breaks the loop her expression makes it clear their team-up is officially over. Also she wears a vampire cape.

[@robertagu5533]

Yeah DP finds all the weirdest allies. He could literally build most them into an army... Then again, he ALSO knows personally and has worked with some the most powerful, dangerous and heavy hitters like himself too

[@MyRegardsToTheDodo]

@@robertagu5533 The funniest part is: Hellcow is already part of the MCU (atleast as long as you consider Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. part of the MCU). In Season 2 episode 5 there is a short dialogue between Simmons and a Hydra scientist: "What kind of hellcow gives carmine milk?"- "I don't know, file just sais Bessie." I am rewatching old episodes on Disney+ and seem to have missed this the first time I saw that episode.

I used read indie comix in the 80s... When I saw Americop, I thought Marvel had purchased and tried to re-boot Marshal Law.

[@marhawkman303]

@@heroecolapso2831 Well Robo-cop and Judge Dredd are both publicly recognized as law enforcement. Dredd is (in-universe) the equivalent of Captain America in that he's the most well known and looked up to of all the Judges. Robo-cop(or Officer Murphy) is a beat cop who nearly died in the line of duty, then got turned into a cyborg to save his life. Then he goes back to doing police stuff. The flaw with Americop's design is that he's basically a cop who went rogue and tries to fight crime outside the law. One trope in comics is how prisons seemingly never hold anyone. Good guys catch bad guy, he goes to jail, somehow gets out shortly after. Basically he thinks the law is too soft. He's more of an anti-hero than anything else.

Captain Confederacy isn't technically Marvel - it was published by Steeldragon Press in 1986. Marvel Epic published the 2nd one, which was a total different person in a different setting.

[@dabunnyman9133]

It was also a very well written alternate world story, beginning with the premise that superheroics on the world was akin to pro wrestling, except kayfabe was maintained and the guys had real powers.. But the endings were predetermined and the good guy always won.

[@FeedMeSalt]

I cant really see the harm in it if its ust an alternate version and not a main stay story line. Hydra are the fuckin SS lol

[@johnburt7935]

Not a totally different setting, the same alternate-history setting a year or so later, when a different Captain Confederacy (a black woman with a white male sidekick, no less) had taken the place of the original white male CC.

[@whitespyder9]

I was gonna say... That artwork shown in this video in no way looked like Marvel quality.

[@adg3825]

And even Epic wasn't really Marvel--they did use some Marvel characters at times, but it was also the first time Marvel or DC had fully creator-owned comics, so Marvel never had the rights to use Captain Confederacy outside of the creator's control.

The original 4-issue "Slapstick" series is one of my favorite things to have ever come out of Marvel comics. My mother started driving me to comic book stores just to hear me laugh when the new issue came out. I consider him as one of my favorite 3 characters in Marvel's history -- especially as he appeared in those first 4 issues then again in "That's Not Funny." The anti-hero days weren't entirely to my liking, sadly.

1:19 Debrii worked with Cap's Secret Avengers during _Civil War,_ meaning she was an unregistered hero fighting against the SHRA. The image used is from the _Secret Avengers_ comic, where Cap (as the "top cop") puts together sort of the Avengers version of X-Force. 8. Excuse me, but you think I don't know about *Hepzibah* !?

I had never heard of Dina before, and now I can honestly say she freaks me out. She looks like one very bizarrely pink, and way too humanoid xenomorph that had a bat for a host, and that is super creepy.

[@briancorvello3620]

Possibly. The problem with Slapstick was, his title could never truly find a target audience. His comic was too goofy to appeal to fans of mainstream Marvel, but too serious to be a parody title. In the end, he was a concept that just didn't catch on.

[@awoken8infinite]

Domino for me. I think DP2 nailed how I first reacted when I heard of her, too "being lucky isn't a super power" until you see her in action. She's great. I'm also a big SG fan, I love how she is like a parody of silver age comics, and how she has the power over the narrative (similar to deadpool) only she's not self aware. Also her powers are really cute. I think maybe you need some comic knowledge to get the character though.. also she beat thanos with an acorn :D PS: by "power over the narrative" I mean that it's written that she can't loose, so she can't. she's like a walking deus ex machina. I guess you might call it "plot armour" or something?

Maggot is dead as far I know. He was killed in Weapon X comic in the 2000's. However his Maggots are alive.

Because they don't actually do very many obscure characters. Like... why is the ENTIRE CAST OF X-STATIX not here? :p Every character had a tragic origin, bizarre motives, powers that caused them harm, or a gruesome fate... sometimes more than one of the above.

[@kennethd.christy6326]

Beak was usually a well-written character. From X-Men to Exiles he was just a guy who got the short end of the mutation stick and eventually made the best of it.

[@danielniemeyer1987]

for a guy with no good powers he is surprisingly good. managed to hit magneto in the back of the head with a metal bat.

[@Xylarxcode]

Not a Marvel hero, but DC's Legion of Superheroes once interviewed a hero call 'Arm-Fall-Off-Boy', whose power is exactly what the name says it is. He can detach and reattach his own arms .. and that's pretty much it. Actually, the Legion has a hole cadre of substitute heroes whose powers are... questionable. Color Kid, for example, has the power to change the color of any object, but he eventually learned how to use that to camouflage himself, so it's not totally useless.
