Today sees the release of Avengers #685, with the big Red Iron Hulk vs Revived Banner Hulk fight. Plenty of fists are thrown, though my attention was most taken by this scene. Quicksilver can see blue spots?

I know he's been through a lot, being frozen and unfrozen… but something's clearly going on here. Something to do with the hows and the whys of so many superheroes being frozen in time for this alien grudgematch on Earth to play out. And all down to some flying blue dots.

And possible revealed the potential to be a little non-binary in the process.

But it was not to be. However, it did seem that we entertained Assistant Editor Alanna Smith, who wrote,
