An Emotional Mort


Last weeks morts were the Young Avengers. I guess there is nothing worse for a blog like this than a confusing picture. For the record, I was thinking that the whole team would be the morts (notice the title is plural), but since I was unclear, Randy gets full points. As for the rest of you, check your own papers (starting with the girl with a bow):


Hawkeye (Kate Bishop)- Kate was the first person that the Young Avengers tried to save, but being new at the hero game, they messed it up pretty badly and had to be rescued by her. She's good with a Bow and Arrow as well as other types of weapons.


Hulkling (Teddy Altman)- One of the things that makes the YA's interesting is that very little is as it seems. Although one would assume that this junior Avenger had some sort of a run-in with a gamma bomb, he is actually the half-skrull son of the Kree hero Captain Mar-Vell and therefore a shape-shifter.


Patriot (Eli Bradley)- The masked guy holding the metal head is the team's Captain America, although his lineage actually traces back to Isaiah Bradley, the so-called "Black Captain America".


Iron Lad (Kang the Conqueror)- A teenaged Kang the Conqueror learned that he would become one of the Avengers most persistent enemies and so traveled back in time to enlist the aid of the Avengers to keep him from this fate (time travel makes my head hurt). As you can see, the plan didn't go so well.


Stature (Cassie Lang)- The daughter of Scott Lang, the second Ant-Man. Interestingly, Cassie also appears in the kiddie title "Marvel Adventures:Avengers" as Giant Girl.


Wiccan (Billy Kaplan)- Although he looks like the knockoff Thor, the current theory is that he is one of the twin children of the Scarlet Witch (his "brother", Thomas Shepherd, has also appeared in the series).


Alright, hopefully there will be no confusion about the new mort. For the record, he isn't technically a Marvel or DC character, so maybe everyone will be on equal footing.

Wait, Wiccan is the son of Scarlet Witch? Is he one of the kids whose supposed non-exsistance eventually caused House of M and got Hawkeye (Clint Barton) killed?

Oh, my guess for the name of the new mort is Facebook.
