Everyone has a different experience at different points in their life, and its wonderful to see this represented.

And it's really fun. It fits into the same kind of space as Damage Control did, skirting around the edges of the rest of the Marvel universe, trying to make it make some kind of sense In this case, a role for those with powers that doesn't make them superheroes or super villains, just really useful and[...]

From Star Wars: A New Hope Chewbacca: Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrgh! C-3PO: He made a fair move. Screaming about it can't help you. Han Solo: Let him have it.

And the Terrigen Mist that triggers the latter, killing the former. Possibly due to the new physical structure of the All-New All-Different Marvel Universe that has seen ISO-8 become stable in normal space How is that going down? Well in New Avengers, which we already commented on for it's Kree/Skrull hookups, not well for Sunspot[...]

From today's New Avengers #4… we have a story of two people, one Kree, one Skrull… destined to fight each other. But instead of fighting… they did something else.
