I'm trying to write marvel fan fiction in the hopes I can really write for Marvel one day and I'm trying to learn exactly how characters are supposed to be written.

I find it's easier for me if I read what their character is about first so I can see how it plays out in the runs I read. Does anyone know where I can find a thorough analysis of Janet's character or maybe give me a breakdown of it in the comments?

I understand why people say it was a good thing ATLA ended when it did, but even though the execution was terrible the comics proved there was still story to tell.

Also come on, each season was an element! Four elements, four seasons!! Am I seriously the only one whose thought this?

Anyway probably my biggest idea, that's also my own, is having the Airbenders survive just in hiding. The Air Nomads were the most spiritually attuned people, it doesn't seem like too much of a stretch to me that spirits could lead them to, say, a Lion Turtle (not the one that gave energybending to Aang, another one). A sanctuary that constantly moves, has people that can summon mist around it and has a lot of spiritual energy, making my spirit guide idea make sense.

The airbenders aren't unharmed. They don't have tattoos, traditional airbender attire and are less then 500. This preserves the weight of what the Fire Nation did, without them having completely succeeded.

I don't know how to write an impactful death scene. I need to know the tenants of writing a good death scene, especially since this isn't quite a death scene.

Let me explain. The demigod son of Cibeles whose been shot while fighting on the Second of May in Madrid and has taken refuge in convent of Santa María. There his mother turns him into a statue in order to preserve him.

However it still counts as a metaphorical death in my eyes at least. So can you please give me some pointers on how to do this?

I have an idea for a fictional city that's cursed in a bubble of perpetual Midnight and is protected by a Batman-like superhero. However the more I think about it, the more I realise I need serious help with this concept.

This is how my Batman-hero emerges, by fighting back and inspiring others to do the same. However I began thinking why wouldn't there be more benevolent factions like the Firelight's in Arcane? On the subject of factions how and why would they emerge?

Then there's the gov. My initial idea is that they eventually reach out to my guy and give him resources to act on their behalf since he has the trust of people inside and knows the city like the back of his hand. Wouldn't they send more agents in there? And if the city were not just in eternal midnight but also haunted/affecting people around them, wouldn't they abduct civilians to examine them?

I just have so many questions in my story that I don't know how to answer

This includes Janet van Dyne, who while I have read some comics about her can't seem to get a good grasp on her character

My current idea is that a supervillain cursed the city in a bubble of perpetual Midnight and the gov sealed it off for fear that it would spread like in the game Infamous. My problem here is that it's magic not a disease so why would the gov think a quarantine would work?

It may just be me but the women in MHA don't really get much leading roles. What I mean is compared to Midoriya, Bakugo, Todoroki and Kirishima they don't have their goals, characters, rivalries etc as defined. I'm planning to eventually rewrite MHA and one of the main things I'm changing is this.

I've already got a few ideas for improving Yaoyorozu, Uraraka, and Asui, but an idea that's been floating around my head for a while is that non of the girls have the fiery drive to be the best like Midoriya or Bakugo. I decided to give that trait to a character you'd least expect it from; Hagakure.

Seriously the girl has so much potential for an in depth arc if you think about it. She was born with a relatively weak quirk so it drove her to learn a variety of skills that would be useful for a hero such as martial arts, bomb diffusal, gymnastics, the works.

Also there's the never being able to see yourself or by others. That difficulty with stable self-image, feeling unseen, emotional communication issues etc.

Wonder Woman was created by the psychologist William Moulton Marston, who believed that human society was excessively violent and dominated by masculine ideals of force and conquest. Marston argued that women, possessing stronger emotional intelligence and empathy, were better suited to guide humanity toward a more harmonious future. This philosophy is embodied in Wonder Woman’s homeland, Themyscira—often called Paradise Island—a society in which women have created a peaceful and flourishing civilisation free from the violent structures of “Man’s World.” At first glance this seemed naïve or overly idealistic, but a much more nuanced meaning of Wonder Woman lies in the symbolism embedded within her mythology.

One of the most unusual elements of Marston’s conception of Wonder Woman is the recurring imagery of bondage. While often misunderstood, Marston used bondage symbolism to represent the dangers of domination and the importance of restraint. In later interpretations such as the run by George Perez, the Amazons wear their bracelets as a constant reminder that they were once enslaved by men. When people forget that they once lacked freedom, they also forget how precious that freedom is. In Pérez’s mythology, the Amazons are even created from the souls of women slain by men throughout history. Rather than seeking revenge, they are granted Themyscira as a refuge where they can build something better. Their choice to pursue peace is therefore not naïve idealism but hard-earned wisdom: vengeance would only perpetuate the same cycle of violence that destroyed them in the first place.

This philosophy shapes Wonder Woman herself. Diana is not heroic simply because she is naturally kind; she is heroic because kindness and restraint are necessary if the world is ever to improve. Her tools reflect this philosophy. The Lasso of Truth is not a weapon designed to injure enemies, but one that subdues them without harm and compels honesty through submission rather than torture. Even her origin reinforces her symbolic role. Born from clay and brought to life by divine power, Diana has no father and no direct tie to patriarchal lineage. The imagery evokes a kind of messianic symbolism: she is sent from a peaceful society into a broken world to guide it toward something better.

This all came to head when I read the Wonder Woman/Captain America crossover comic. Both heroes are living legends who represent bigger ideas in the larger world. While Superman just represents what a hero should be in general, Wonder Woman represents what a hero CAN be if taken to new heights. They could not only save society, but change it for the better so that crime happens less in the first place.

Ultimately, Wonder Woman represents more than a powerful superhero. She embodies Marston’s belief that true strength lies not in domination but in compassion, self-control, and truth. Her mission is not simply to defeat villains but to demonstrate that humanity can escape the cycle of violence and build a more just world.

I feel too few people died in the PLW arc and Final War arc. I just feel the gravity of 'war' is lost when not many people die. Trouble is I don't know who to kill without it being just for shock value and still have the heroes believably win.

For example in the PLW arc I would have had Gran Torino die when he gets disemboweled and the rest of the Pussycats get disintegrated. Imagine how devastating it be for Kota to lose another chunk of his family to a villain after he finally started warming up to them and for Ragdoll to lose what's essentially her family. Now she's all Kota has left, because Shigaraki continues the cycle that created him in the first place. As for students, I'm not sure if any should die and if so many pros we've grown to love dying is enough.

Then there's the FW. I had the idea that Bakugo dying would be rich as he started as a jerk and anyone who hated him in the beginning experience a 180, which accentuates his growth. How he dies, I thought his fight with Shigaraki was too much for him but he gave Deku the opening to beat him. Alternatively I was thinking Edgeshot manages to bring Bakugo back long enough to beat AFO and then die. However I fear that may invalidate Edgeshot sacrificing himself and make Bakugo's death feel redundant. I have the idea of Melissa making herself a mech suit like she did All Might and join the fight, could she take either of these fights? Who of the Pros, 1-A and 1-B should die in the final War?

In season 5 episode 3 Sameer said V1 hadn’t been in circulation since the 50s. Does that mean there are more V1 Supes running around? If not, why didn’t Frederick test more in between 1945 and “the 50s?”

Also I read Godolkin U was founded 1965. Okay, but would there have been any Supes of appropriate age to go to college then? Let’s say V1 “stopped circulating” in the early 50s. 1953, 52, somewhere around then. The only Supes in 65 would be either 13, 14 or the WW2 Supes. And Godolkin is a UNIVERSITY, meaning only 18 year olds.

I'm taking notes about how The Boys has fallen in terms of quality and I was thinking one way to improve it would be improving how it parodies American culture. Trouble is I'm not American so I'm an outsider looking in, which makes it harder for me. I've been watching videos and reading history in attempts to catch up, but I'm still so lost.

I was thinking one way to do it is by writing better parodies of superheroes, which I have done with Tek-Knight (made a post about it a while ago), as well as what's happening in America. Instead of making America Nazi Germany, it should be closer to what ICE is doing; untrained civilians and supes rounding up immigrants, dissenters, I'm not sure and deporting them.

This is why I'm asking you for your opinion. What do you think would make an interesting parody that reflects hypocrisy, American culture, Trump, etc?

The Quirkless are woefully under explored in My Hero Academia and I want to change that in my eventual rewrite. However, I'm at a loss on how to explore them.

I see Midoriya's school laugh at him for wanting to be a hero and for no one to really defend him, but I'm not sure if that reflects broader systemic problems, or his meagre nature at the time. Bakugo did bully him and say he was worthless without a quirk, but again that's something more personal to Bakugo than actual bigotry.

From what I've been able to see, if you just sign up for a program and train, regardless of hero or no, you can use your Quirk for whatever job you apply to. This would naturally create a discrepancy between people with quirks, who could do the work of ten quirkless with their ability.

It seems to me that unless it's police, military or something of that nature, your options as quirkless are severely limited.

I need to know to do this right, because I have an idea for a Quirkless revolution and the last thing I need is to find out it's unfounded halfway through writing it.
