Important question for the flist

[elspethdixon]

If CLAMP were to make a manga/anime about the Avengers, which character(s) would end up losing an eye? (keeping in mind that Bucky/Winter Soldier already fulfills the need for a cyborg arm, and that Nick Fury probably doesn't count for angsty/slashy eye-loss purposes).

I have to vote Night Nurse so she can wear a latex nursing uniform with her eyepatch.

i'm gonna have to say clint, if only because losing an eye would really screw up who he is.

....and let's face it. comic companies? love fucking witht heir archers *pissed at dc for roy? what? really? ...naaaaaah, surely you jest >\*

I don't know from comics, but my chat room tells me the proper answer is "all of them, possibly in several different timelines."

Equally Important Question

Do you think Danny Rand has slept with any woman besides Misty?

DAMMIT NOW MY BRAIN IS TRYING TO PLOT OUT SUBARU AND SEISHIROU'S STORY ARC THROUGH TOKYO BABYLON AND X ONTO STEVE AND TONY

Because clearly the two sides in X is the whole SHRA thing, which makes Steve Subaru and Tony Seishirou, and maybe the whole Sakurazukamori thing is his, idk, drinking/bad decisions/something IDK, but then STEVE is the one who dies at the end, where in X it's SEISHIROU. So then TONY should be Subaru because he totally angsts and it pretty much just destroys most of his will to live-

LAKJSFNKJNDAKJGDSNG tl;dr

[iambickilometer]

CLINT IS FUUMA, YES? But Tsubasa!Fuuma, not X!Fuuma. X!Fuuma is DOOOOOOOOOM. does that make Reed Kamui

On the other hand... Jan is totally Tomoyo, so Hank is clearly Sakura, which poses the question of IS CLINT SYAORAN? SOURCES POINT TO OH HELL YES. Okay maybe not in that arrangement. WE WILL MAKE THIS WORK, DAMMIT.

...oh dear now I will never stop thinking about it

if I end up writing fic it is ENTIRELY YOUR FAULT.

It's got mythic resonance!

No idea what CLAMP is about (and I really don't want to know), but losing an eye? Thor. In return, he gets wisdom and a raven. He also gets additional father issues (angst angst angsity angst).

Also, didn't Jarvis already lose an eye, due to an attack by the Masters of Evil? I have a clear mental image of a Buscema/Palmer Jarvis with an eyepatch.

[marinarusalka]

Didn't Spiderman actually lose an eye in that bizarro spider-god storyline? Sure, he got better, but there's clearly precedent.
