Were they ever good?

Whatever happened to speedball after that?
Yes. The Darick Robertson issues were neat.
He went back to his old costume and name puts on a happy face but he still feels enormous regret and guilt about it all and cuts himself still
He went back to being Speedball
That was a pretty amusing gag. Really funny joke.
Fabian Nicieza wrote almost every Marvel book in the early 90s, they’re the X-Force for the Avengers’s X-Men. I think it was Nicieza who started the “Nova Corps is the GL Corps for the Marvel universe”.
What happened to Night Trasher? He was supposedly to be Marvel’s black Batman but got totally forgotten even in the diversity era of today.
When I was 10 they were the best
Yes, not perfect but good. They were the underdog team of teenage superheroes.
Man, Nova really came a long way.
Reminder that today is Nova's 43rd Anniversary (his comic came out in June 15, 1976) and he's still suffering.
I'm hoping he gets an announcement for something at comic con this year.
He hit a good peak but it's pretty downhill ever since. He's now relegated to being a glorified cameo. Currently with Cates' GotG and he now has a rifle for some reason.
I guess him having that funko exclusive and the rumors of him having a movie is giving him some buzz but other than that he's been pretty in the shitter.
Didn't Ewing said there were still plans for him and Quasar? Hopefully Ewing is handling it and it has to do with his new Cosmic Herc stuff.
I blame the artist for that, but still, what the fuck
I liked them back in the day. one of my favorite comics was #16 when they fought Terrax. I dont know why but something about this single inconsequential issue excited me. I re-read it several times
Their first run was pretty good. They were taken seriously as a team and people liked them.
The whole shitty reputation as a loser team full of pretending morons was something the terrible third run came up with and that reputation stuck forever after.
They really could have been Marvel's Teen Titans. I liked them as the teen team a lot more than any incarnation of Young Avengers
Bill gets Ghost Rider chains, Groot cuts himself to make mini Groots, Rich gets a gun and everyone else is pretty much the same.
Pretty sure Rich used a gun when he was younger (and in a New Warriors comic no less) but back then he didn't really shoot stuff IIRC and just flew around so it made some degree of sense. But now that he can do all sorts of shit it seems redundant.
This.
They were like a likable Avengers. I never cared for any Avengers line up well into the 00's but I liked every single New Warrior. Back then at least.
I don't remember Rich having any energy shooting powers at all in the 90s
>What happened to Night Trasher?
He died. He's not dead anymore because but I'm not sure anyone cares at Marvel.
I agree and it's also what lead them to die in Civil War, read the last two paragraphs.
Not to mention the third volume got collected with a Civil War Prelude banner, lmao, Marvel is fucking shameless.
I think in his older comics he would absorb energy and then shoot it out and that's pretty much the only time he would shoot things but he was mostly just a fly and crash into things type of guy, hence the human rocket.
only Nova and Speedball are good or worth mentioning
Who was the better Vance? Justice or Major Victory?
Always.
He just met his buddy Quasar! and got mad at him but everything is going to be fine
Rich couldn't stay mad at Wendell for long, he's too pure and wholesome.
best duo of the galaxy
For real, I might like them better than Nova and Star-Lord to be honest, I just don't think Peter and Rich really had much built outside Annihilation and the stuff in Thanos Imperative.
I also wouldn't mind a Nova and Quasar comic. Ewing is now one of the popular writers with Immortal Hulk he can pull it off now.
>
Something something Collector something something out of time something something Maestro.
I honestly wouldn't mind if they found a way to make the New Warriors becoming cosmic, I mean they have fought cosmic villains and they went to space.
Probably will stay gone until Ewing decides to acknowledge him again.
>Speedball fucking dabbing
Gage fixed him, mad him grow as more mature and responsible. He even made peace with Myriam Sharpe.
Then Yost turned him into a idiot who still feels guilt, but acts again in a reckless and immature way.
Nicieza wrote all the bad ones, Lobdell all the good ones
Speedball was ahead of his time, he even predicted Civil War.
