Soldiers of Fortune. I really like this team, too.

[salmonjunkie]

Man, I hate it when they try to make Elektra a hero, but she would work under Fury...
On the other hand, Polaris is my least favorite X-character of all time. I also have to vote against Judge Dredd because of Solly.

[Lucky]

Yeah, I think I'm just voting against Judge Dread and a really wacky team. And not "wacky" in the good way.

I can buy Fury keeping this crew in line for a little while. Just long enough for Elektra to stab someone next round.

[Stu]

Dredd would probably try to arrest most of his team.

[DevSop]

I really need to read a lot more comics. I thought Elektra was more of a hero than anything. I knew she had dark side leanings at times, but I had no idea she was as much a villain as you guys seem to be saying.

Any suggestions what to read for her?

[Lucky]

She's a middle ground character. An assassin with a dark side and selfish and vengeful motivations. But a noble samurai with a code and connections to heroes and people. Like Wolverine but without Wolvie's tendency to team up with people.

I don't really object to her being on a team, but I wouldn't want to see her as a full fledged "hero" (because that she's not). But this team is a team of mercs and that's fine for her. I was just sort of throwing in the joke because I totally could see her doing it.

[salmonjunkie]

I wouldn't call her a villain either, but she's no hero. She's an assassin, though. And she was most recently the leader of the Hand (although it was a skrull version of her, but still, it wasn't out of character for her to do that). She does have nobility and stuff, and the people she kills, she has a justification for.

Although for a long time, that justification was "I'm getting paid to kill these people."

Read pretty much any Frank Miller Daredevil/Elektra story. Or even Brian Michael Bendis' Daredevil/Elektra story. Also, read Miller's Elektra Assassin to see how fucked up in the head she is.


Man, this reminds me of how watered down Elektra was in the Daredevil movie. And I liked the movie, but goddamn, Elektra wasn't anywhere near the badass she was in the comics.

[Lucky]

That's odd because this conversation made Evanesence get stuck in my head.

[salmonjunkie]

Ugh. I apologize for that, Lucky.

[Lucky]

You should be.

[DevSop]

Well, I can cross that band off my list.

Ha! Y'know, with your tastes in music and movies, I really think you might be a better fit for my wife than I am...



































...as her gay friend.

Go pet a kitten and tell us all about it. Please.

Once. I did it once, two months ago. You remind us with every single draft we do, about your infatuation with teenage girls and their culture.

[Lucky]

And we mock him for it.

And its not the quantity that counts, its the quality.

[Habs]

Fury get my vote here.
