Oh dear god.
I’m only reading the first annual, and already I’ve had
- Bucky and Toro flirting
- Namor getting undressed by the enemy while he’s unconscious
- Namor’s trunks apparently being unique and needing analysis by the Third Reich because they’re SUPER-DUPER IMPORTANT TO SCIENCE
- So much…
“Hey, don’t go all macho on us now, Torch! It’s the 80’s! Men are allowed to show their emotions now. Why… I guess you’d say even an android can cry!”
Loved him with this team.
Don’t love now that Marvel is acting like this never happened :(
The future is not new and strange to Jim gosh darn it.

Tom accidentally incinerated everyone who was around him during the crash. He was still sitting in the wreckage, naked and sobbing, when the police found him. You could argue that if he hadn’t instinctively flamed on, there may have been more survivors.
Like his mother and father.
That Toro was the reason no one survived the crash was always my headcanon too, so I was jumping up and down when I saw this in the book.
I mean yes it sucks for Toro, but it had been my headcanon forever that his first flame on had actually been duirng the train wreck and not when he met Torch.
So to see Brubacker suggest the exact same thing? Well, really, is there anything better than seing headcanon become canon.
Not much XD
My further headcanon is that he flames on if he has nightmares, or at least he did when he was young, and this is why he initially left the circus to go be with Torch. Toro couldn’t deal with the thought that he might hurt more people he loves.
The is still just my headcanon though.
I had forgotten about this until someone caused me to go look up Alpha Flight 106 (The ISsue Northstar comes out in). But here ya go, the ret-conned in a off and On Canadian Superhero to be an unofficial Invader.
And yes, he is MAJOR MAPELLEAF. XD
Is relevance to the story was that in the 60’s he retired from being a superhero to be dad, and his son ended up being homosexual and dying of Aids. So when Northstar found this little baby who had Aids, and Canadian media rallied behind the baby after ignoring and blaming his son and other homosexuals who had the same disease.
So, because this is a comic book, he showed up to …. kill the baby (not kidding) and ended up in a fight with Northstar in which he beat Northstar up and strangled him while screaming at him for beig in the closet rather than being a role model, which prompted Northstar to come out.
Namor and Jim, one moment they are snarking at each other, next thing you know one of them gets attacked and the other is flying after them.
All while Steve is yelling at them to get the fuck back because it’s a trap.From Captain America Sentinel of Liberty #2
