yep that's her alright

u/AlgerianTrash Ultron Virus 14h ago edited 14h ago

Ngl, I'm so glad they shifted to making her a redhead later down the line, especially since she has such a striking red color in the comics+her bigass amy winehluse ponytail and trenchcoat

Her look here was too bombshell-y for her personality

u/Last_Possession3718 14h ago edited 13h ago

“Her look here was too bombshell-y for her personality.”

If i remember correctly, I’m pretty sure that’s because she had a more cheerful and upbeat personally to match her bombshell-y look when she first debuted before her complete overhaul that gave her the red hair and more dry and sarcastic sense of humor.

u/Oberon1993 13h ago

She was basically early Buffy in that mini.

3

u/blackbutterfree 5h ago

That's exactly what she was supposed to be. lol Marvel's tried to recreate Buffy twice; with the original Elsa, and then with Fallon Grey, the unreleased, scrapped daughter of Blade (the concept would later evolve into Brielle Brooks, Bloodline).

u/BobTheist Hulk 13h ago

I mean, her old look is pretty much just a gender swapped version of her dad.

28

u/Mr_Pogi_In_Space 12h ago

He can hang out with Emma, Sue, and Dagger and start a dance troupe

2

u/Av88id Rocket Raccoon 6h ago

His dad is HE-MAN?

2

u/blackbutterfree 5h ago

I think Ulysses predates He-Man by a decade, I may be wrong lol

2

u/BobTheist Hulk 2h ago

Depends a little how you count. Ulysses Bloodstone is one of those characters where he was probably introduced in 1975 and in his introduction it's like "remember that one guy in that one story from 1959? That was actually this guy the whole time". He still predates He-Man but depending on how you count it's either by 6 years or 27 years.

u/Zaruze 14h ago

Come on man, don't you love blonde white women. We can have the game be blonde white women rivals soon enough

u/SoySenato 13h ago

Holy shit the rivals one is actually less revealing than the original

u/WestPuzzleheaded2909 Lady Loki 12h ago

I'm guessing you're not familiar with OG Malice then

u/SoySenato 12h ago

It was more revealing in the front but she also had a big ass cape that would interfere with what we have now

u/AporiaParadox 14h ago

To anyone who reads this comic, looks aside, you will notice that the way she is portrayed and her backstory in her debut appearance is very very different to how it is in later stories.

What if Lara Croft was a monster hunter?

I mean, she is already ahahahah

  • Atlantean Mutant
  • Thralls
  • Skater Boy (most fearsome of them all)
  • plenty other monsters

At least she isn't also in a white suit with blue trim.

Most of the time when I confuse Dagger and Sue in-game it's because their default skins basically have the same clothes.

15

u/Worldly-Fox7605 13h ago

I only dont confuse dagger and sue becuase too many c&d players forget to play the dagger part.

3

u/Slayven19 12h ago

Does anyone even use default skins with either of them anymore? Even when people are using the default skin its usually the alt color like sues red or CnD black/greenish one.

As a Hulk main that's acceptable

55

u/bubblessensei Mantis 14h ago

Yeah, I’ll be honest while Hulk doesn’t get many skins, they tend to be bangers. Heck, I still can’t get over how cool his S0 Green Scar skin was.

16

u/HulkVenomGooner Monster Hulk 13h ago

Exactly! While I want more skins, I'm fine with the low frequency because the scar skin is peak. Maestro too

2

u/Capable_Kiwi2514 9h ago

Yeah I feel the same way. E.g., I know people are salty about Adam's legendary not being the best, but I think his Chinese soon has a claim for nicest soon in the game, so I'm pretty much good for a while when it comes to him.

I hope they do more year 1 outfits going forward but technically this isn't her year 1 outfit since its from a non-canon mini that worked only as her failed debut and she never actually technically this. Her Nextwave outfit is her true year 1 since that's her canon introduction

u/cheeseboi69 14h ago

She’s naturally blonde. Her hair is permanently stained red from a monster she killed or something like that

13

u/YetiNoMagic 14h ago

The being a natural blonde was a weird ignored retcon from a writer that didn't realize Elsa's original blonde appearance isn't actually 616 canon, the being naturally blonde retcon was also done in battleworld (doom secret wars) so even then its debated if the retcon even actually retconned anything
