The question of causes is an interesting one and one fundamental to most people living in any part of the civilized world (that is to say the whole world). What do we stand for and how do we achieve it? Is it OK to achieve our goal at any cost? Where do our own ethics begin to play a role. After all Magneto is in many ways just a mirror image of Xavier, they both want what is best for mutants, and both have at least some apprehension towards humans.
When you consider your cause, there is also the issue of a legacy. For instance MLK had his historic "I have a dream speech" but then on its anniversary this last year, the nearly brain dead Glenn Beck has his own rally on the same day. Was Beck's cause as important as the Doctor's? Of course not but his name was attached to it by proxy. Legacies can be a tricky thing and they can be used against us long after we are gone. Will future mutants long after the passing of the two mutant leaders be acting in their names in ways that the two never imagined? Well if it was the real world then for sure yes.
@SC: Just because I write a short paragraph on something doesnt mean I am going to blog about it :P. It would be an interesting topic though, considering how many villains really are just antagonists, and how villains are quite often looking for redemption.
Well inherently it is is not to me to define villain when I am writing about a book which defines them. But I would say villains are those that break societal rules and norms (and commit mostly what we consider felonies). Physical abilities don;t really factor in, the Joker is one of the worst villains and can't do anything out of the ordinary. You could make the case that Bat Mite and Mr. Mxyzptlk are not villains, rather pests, but villain is often used to encompass any major antagonists, just like J Jonah Jameson could be cosnidered to be a villain of Spider-Man, though he doesnt break any laws.
Thats what I figured, so why did the "Tea Party" ish version ever get approved in the first place? Even if Reagan was instrumental as winning the Cold War as most Americans think he was (and as a non-American well read in Russian history my opinion is that he was more of a catalyst), his economic program had nothing to do with winning, and even if they did how does this relate to the random appearances he has made in comics.
Unless it is some sort of template for beating enemies - can the Joker be beaten with Batmanomics? :P
The only way the Jim Lee costume is realistic for me is if I imagine she has some sort of flesh coloured fabric on her thighs and midriff. That having been said I loved her pre-Lee costume
@daredevil21134: The only way I can imagine that uniform to be practical is that she wears a flesh clored fabric over her legs and stomach. The Pre Jim Lee costume was better.
Would it be possible to make a template page for each of these types of articles. Like find a character that doesn't need updating very often and make the perfect page then somehwhat lock it down. I would like to help editing, but I am more of a see and do type of person as opposed to hear how and do.
