Is there a mutant slur in Marvel Comics?

@@jaredgarcia8638 Kinda yea. Marvel mutants are basically an equivalent of the n word.

Oh I thought the slur was “mutie” I though mutant was equivalent to like black-person or white person.

@@rubiconprime1429 good point

Electro is racist

He had it in the Brand New Day/Grim Hunt era as well. That's where they adopted the design from, I believe.

I want to see that Electro evolve to pure energy like he wanted.

@@ellbent To overpowered

I honestly think that’s how most people would turn out if they actually got powers 😂

@@sweatshopkids yeah, but this guy controls electricity, so he would be on a whole other level...

Lightning in my hands! Lightning in my hands! 😎

That's always what I thought

The ability to control electricity is one of the most underrated powers ever!

@@petrutorlac7840 it was awesome especialy when he got venomized it was terrafiying

Just don't forget his name or birthday.

@@anubusx or have cameras focused on you and not him

Reminds me a lot of spectacular Spider-man's Electro.

No Way Home did Electro justice. Hell it did EVERYONE justice. If you catch my drift ;)

@@connordougherty9860 honestly the only villains I liked it no way home were otto and norman

The point is almost every spider-man villain could be good or not commit crimes if they were more responsible

Boss: "Oh you almost got toasted to death? Ok. But will you be here tomorrow morning? Max: "Uhh..." Boss: "Good, now get back to work! Max: "But..." Boss: "And the time you were out I'll tax off your paycheck, people could've thought I don't pay for your safety"

@@TheOfficialPYTC pretty sure that's the point of literally every villain ever, even with bad people in real life. I don't think that's exclusive to Spidey, my dude.

They actually also did that in the Amazing Spider Man 2

I mean that's more of a reveal than a retcon. But that makes so much more sense tho

@M V no, he is underrated. The most people have seen him in action is in the amazing spider man 2 movie. And that had not so great writing for the character. Before then the best we got was the animated series electro i.e. Spectacular Spider-Man, the original spiderman animated series etc He's not really a fan favorite villain, unless he actually is and I've been living under a rock, then that would be shocking. (Hehe get it?... Ok)

@@JstormZx hes loved

@@Ahzuv ah okay then.

@@JstormZx i dont see many epople saying electro sucks or just nobody talking about him, for me thats mostly vulture and sandman

I think Kraven is Spiderman's most underrated villain. He's fairly strong, a top fighter, and a central character in one of the best Spiderman stories, but was made into a joke in the ultimate universe.

I thought that was Loki? Or did he have something to do with that prior

@@2saintlovature Loki was responsible for the formation of the original avengers team, however, Electro was responsible for bringing together the 2011(I think) iteration of the new Avengers (though they were just a regular avengers team, it had Cap, Iron man, Hawkeye, etc.)

@@rubiconprime1429 the New Avengers incarnation of the mid 2000 or so. By 2011 the Avengers and X-Men were fighting over the Phoenix Force

@@luisalejandrolopezbuendia9686 whoops

Wasn't he judt being payed by someone tho?

I think his spectacular Spider-Man look was the best

It wasn’t bad plus him falling in with the eels and making him look like an eel was cool

I thought electro's design in TASM 2 looked more menacing and evil, especially them eyes. And the neurons glowing in his head made him look powerful, but i respect your opinion

it was a good and logical remake, i agree with you.

Besides he literally can travel through wires and circuits to other places and reform his body out of nothing

@@dangerber23 exactly! The new suit looks like a regular guy.

Finally someone praising that look.

not to mention the dubstep potential

Livewire

@@andick00 lazers are light, not electricity

Lightning Lad from DC was originally white, but was retconned to be black in recent years. I don't usually mind those kinds of retcons because I'm all for modernizing characters that were created in the '40s or '60s (which were ridiculously white for obvious reasons), but find it hilarious that they picked Lightning Lad of all characters to do this with. They could've gone with, say, Saturn Girl or Matter-Eater Lad or anyone else. Or just made Lightning Lad another race or ethnicity. I mean, not everything's black and white. Literally. The guy who introduced that iteration of the Legion of Super-Heroes also created Miles Morales, incidentally, who has bioelectricity powers and is heavily inspired by Static (he's even named after the Milestone imprint that published Static Shock). I think the most commonly accepted reasoning for the prevalence of black comic book characters with electrical powers is that Storm was very successful (even though her power wasn't electrokinesis, but weather manipulation, which included lightning) and everyone wanted to capitalize on that fame by replicating the general aesthetic. Likewise with Black Lightning, whose power may have been a coincidence, but the ones who followed surely weren't. It's the same reason there were so many skateboarding black superheroes in the '80s and '90s (which Dwayne McDuffie, who happened to create Static and Night Thrasher (examples of both tropes), wrote a very critical essay about). Anyway, to give another example of a white electric superhero, there is Cole MacGrath from the first two inFAMOUS games (not a comic book character, I guess, but the cutscenes were basically comics and he did have a tie-in comic book). Surge from an iteration of the New Mutants isn't a "white guy," but she is East Asian. There are also Crystal of the Inhumans, Thor, and Shazam, though the latter two also have a lot more going for them than just lightning.

Mine to

Who gives a crap about the Human Fly

Agreed and the design keep the iconic look but making it badass and mondern at the same time.

Yep!

I didn't like his classic starfish mask I always thought it looked too goofy but now that it's made of pure electricity in No Way Home I'm honestly more excited to see it maybe well see him supersize the mask around his face and throw like a giant ninja star

That'd be a pretty smart misdirection tactic if he were more knowledgeable about and skilled with his powers when he designed the costume. Honestly, a lot of Spider-Man villains may seem underpowered from his interactions with them or how they utilize them, but if they were given to people as smart as Peter Parker is, they'd be absurdly powerful. Hydro-Man, for example, is just brimming with bottled-up potential, but the man himself doesn't really know how to apply it. Or just doesn't have the ambition.

Frank did try to kill Norman Osborn so why not have him try to kill Electro because...... why not

Maybe this Wednesday as the crossover ends but I dont have hopes for thr origions of desperate since NWH hope train is on

Chilllllllll it’s not that deep

Electro has fought Daredevil and a few other heros before
