>Wasn't made to be part of a team>Wasn't based off of an existing male hero>Wasn't made to be a sidekickUnlike...Storm, Rouge, Invisible Woman, She-Hulk, Captain Marvel, X-23, Spider-Gwen, Emma Frost, etc.How does she do it?
>>147113301She was a one-off joke, at least until Marvel decided to beat it into the ground.
>>147113412The internet beat her into the ground. Marvel dug up the corpse.
>>147113513As an oldfag, no, no one really remembered Squirrel Girl before GLA brought her back.There were maybe a few injokes in fan circles about her being Doctor Doom's most humiliating defeat that probably caught Slott's attention, but nowhere near mainstream, The era of internet jokes started only because of that
>>147113301She was a joke character made by Ditko in a Iron Man story my man.
>>147113301She’s a cute dork
>>147113412>>147113513It helps she's cute enough to beat off to
>>147113301She literally intro'd trying to be a sidekick for Iron Man.
>>147113558>Steve, will you PLEASE draw Spider-man again, just once?>Never compromise.>Well, we have a script about a dumb squirrel superheroine, probably a wash, but->I'm in.
>>147113601>>147113558>>147113412But she was no "Iron-girl"
>>147113301But all of those fit Carol too.
This again...>>147113601>a sidekick for Iron Man.Denied for being underage.>Meanwhile, Riri....
>>147113585But she's MY cute dork
>>147113301Being cute.
She's definitely a joke character, but at the same time so are guys like Plastic Man. I legit think she's a better "face of women for Marvel" than fucking Carol "raped, then became psychotically pro-military, and frankly her powers came from a dude" Danvers.I'll take the upbeat fuzzy-tailed Canadian with a major in Computer Science, a minor in kicking Dr. Doom's ass, and Galactus as a drinking (well, eating) buddy.
>>147113301I love this version.
>>147119419You make Carol sound a lot more interesting than she is.
>>147114634I've got some bad news for you
>>147113513>>147113412Sometimes you need to dig to find gold.
>>147119775I apologize, I left out the bit where despite all that she's still boring as fuck.
>>147119419>upbeat fuzzy-tailed CanadianWhen did Doreen become Canadian? She lives in Central Park and goes to Peter Parker's alma mata?
>>147120138Dunno WHEN she got established as Canadian, but she is. She has dual citizenship and travels to Canada every once in a while.
>>147119419why is red skull a pirate on this cover?
>>147113301>sailor doreen
>>147114634Don't know your comic history, eh?
>>147121852
Funny how Squirrel Girl went from "nightmarish freak" to "nut in the butt" so quickly
>>147124121Her later appearances definingly glowed her up as the kids say. Personally I like the old goofy look, it's cute in it's way.
>>147114634Should I tell him?
>>147114634
>>147119419You forgot her getting impregnated by her alien bf and then giving birth to said bf
Bump
Sod it, I'm going to storytime Great Lakes Avengers Misassembled so you can learn more about Doreen.
>>147124943That's under "raped."
>>147124943>>147119419Just give her back her drunk, skrull genocide happy personality and call it a day.
>>147124121If you think I wouldn't fuck this wall eyed creep, you're sadly mistaken.
>Third panelKek
RIP Monkey-Joe
And that's all for now. Even though Doreen was only really in the latter half of the arc.
>>147126135Cheers mate
>>147126611
>>147126338Some of these I recognise, some I don't, who's top right?
>>147126965Firestar
>>147113301>Wasn't made to be part of a teamActually that's exactly what she was, but she was such a giant loser Tony didn't want her on the Avengers
>>147127037Neat, that was my personal guess but I didn't know if she appeared after the '80s.
>>147124175This design gave me a giant buck teeth fetish.
>>147126322You know, given the number of superheroes out there, how many *are* urban myths?
>>147127078IMAGINE
>>147127078
>>147126691Note: Squirrel Girl's status as a mutant was later retconned to "she's not. "
>>147127461Ah so.
>>147127060Does she still have the knuckle spike?
>>147126258Wait, was that bit at the start of USG where she fights Galactus calling back to this page? Heck of a coincidence if not.
>>147129549Yeah. She uses them to beat Ultron in Unbeatable.
>>147129682Not... really? The only thing connecting them is the moon. She never even fought Galactus, she befriended the big galoot.
>>147120778Was probably meant to be Golden Skull, who - last we saw - had both hands, but also has a pirate theme, and fought Squirrel Girl.
>>147113412Fpbp
>>147126696ty for story time. I love Squirrel Girl in GLA. Everyone always plays up the Ws against S tier villains but they're mainly played for laughs here and I love that Squirrel Girl remains humble despite the achievements. Her retro dorkiness and cuteness are why she's so charming.
>>147126696Thanks anon
>>147127109Gross
>>147127461Thank goodness, I can shoot a bolt to her in good conscience.
>>147129900And then that Ultron gets its memory wiped and is turned into a mechanical tree that is tended with love by SG's mom, so it grows up "good." Don't try to fuck with Squirrel Girl's parents, an Ultron Tree protects them.
>>147132069I’m glad she still has parent(s?) she’s such a wholesome little monster.
>>147132069>>147132561Why did her parents leave a 14 year old truant to fend for herself in Central Park? They should be in jail.
>>147127109thicc
>>147127461But she's still sympathetic to mutants.It was never going to work out, Sentinel #X-42903-22.
>>147132581>She probably ran away>It was the 80's
>>147126696Well, the thread is still up and I won't be able to post this for another 11 months otherwise, here's a late (or early) Christmas one-off.
>>147113301158 posts and not a single mention of mongoloid squirrel girl. Impressive.
My favourite story in the book.
That's all for now, hope you enjoyed.
>>147135802I love how in comics it's a given that there will be some casual firefight between two groups of super-affiliated persons at any given time.
>>147135788>>147136083RIP Ringo
>>147135911The Unrentable Squirrel Girl
>>147135934Damn what happened to shop girl's eyes?
>>147135943That's our Doreen!
>>147135998Damn, dad's a dick.
>>147136009So Santa can get through Thanos's security but not a gift for Doorman? Ouch.
>>147136023kek, that's bittersweet.
>>147113558I wouldn't call Squirrel Girl a 'joke character' in that first appearance, more a comedy-focused one off.There are plenty of characters in comic books who are used for just one or two issues.SG was one of them, until Marvel brought her back because she had a unique personality and appeal.
>>147136083That Tippy-Toe is the scariest thing I've seen all day.
>>147126577Wonder if Countdown was a jab at DC's countdown to event things.Or did Marvel do that too? I forget.
>>147113301
>>147119419She's fucked Wolverine in a Bendis story, this makes unforgivable and not worthy to be Marvel's main female mascot.
>>147137440Santa gifts are a privilege for the living.
>>147138342Retconned. She would’ve been like 15, frankly it's amazing it took more than a week to retcon. Bendis is a menace AND a threat.
>>147134205Sentinel bro will find a hot extra thicc alien with long fluffy tails like a Kitsune girl and itd be super cash money.
>>147139077>will findHe's still in contact with Doreen. They text. She's trying to help him overcome his programmed bigotry. She'll probably help him hook up with someone. It's what she does.
>>147138316nice
>>147138316Thanks!
>>147113301>How does she do it?Astroturfing.
>>147141058You are tiresome and ungenuine.
>>147141134Describe Squirrel Girl without mentioning her sex, appearance, powers, occupation or role in the stories she appears in.
>>147141384You are a retard.
>>147138316That is real nice.
>>147126109Grasshopper got us good /co/
>>147126119Not sure why but this guy being on skies is so silly
>>147126152She-hulk wasted this guy
>>147126283Isn't death, death in marvel?
>>147143116Death is what allows beings to die, but she doesn't come and guide their spirits afterwards.
>>147126322Before he became mainstream
>>147126343Marvelle cameo
>>147126347She kicking him in the dick?
>>147126393Of this was 2003 I wouldn't doubt they were being ironic but for 2013 it's harder to tell.
>>147126577Flatman small rodent rape expert apparently
>>147126594Monkey confirmed atheist
>>147126603Leather boy being straight is a funny twist
>>147126604Apparently not
>>147143386Well he does have a doctorate in Stuff after all.
>>147142293What's the matter? Can't say anything noteworthy about her?
>>147126245Actually kinda sad
>>147126294>my dignity, like my services, comes with a priceOh, Batroc
>>147126664Mockingbird was dead?
>>147138293Feels like a DC thing, don't recall Marvel doing it much
>>147143611Actually, given the shout out to Identity Crisis there, it's almost certainly a DC joke
>>147143575Who hasn't been by this point?
>>147126671>>147126676This is actually great
>>147141384Upbeat teen hero who borders on being a Pollyanna type, somewhat oblivious to how powerful she is but still wants to be taken seriously.
>>147143643Yes it’s a pretty clever trick.
>>147113301They're going to Harley Quinn her.
>>147143632Good point. You'd think doorman being an agent of death would be a bigger deal
>>147135962Will Neil ever bone his hot, hot sister? Stay tuned true believers!
>>147143690>>147136001The answer was no! Thanks for keeping up, comics fans! Excelsior!
>>147136073Christmas shooting star? That's what you get when you get someone who's never celebrated and possibly hates Christmas to write a Christmas story.
>>147143708And like the ‘star’ the joke went over your head.
>>147126103Eh didn't really like it
>>147143734I get the joke it's just that with Slott being Slott you know how what it was meant to be, why didn't he just write something about hanukkah.
>>147143783I mean I don’t think it’s unfair to say most people who ‘celebrate’ Christmas don’t do so as a religious observance as much as a generic happy fun time with the occasional miracle.
>>147141384Cheeky cunt.
>>147143783>What it’s meant to beTHE Christmas Star? The star of Bethlehem, as a shooting star?
>>147143873>>147143924I know but it's a clinical joke about it but maybe I'm looking too deeply into it but with them you can never know
She needs to get raped more often.
>>147144076>More oftenIt's happened before?
>>147141384Upbeat and selfless with a strong sense of justice (that does not always agree with the letter of the law), a can-do never-say-die attitude, and a firm belief in the overall goodness of humankind (although some people probably can't be salvaged). Willing to hear even her enemies out and treat them with respect. And she smells like hazelnuts. You didn't ban mentioning her smell!
>>147142293Didn't even try. Failed.>>147143646Disqualified for mentioning her occupation.>>147143896Decent try but no.>>147144443Finally someone has a proper answer, and it only took four tries. Pat yourself on the back, you've earned it.
>>147143646It's not even power, it's sheer effectiveness (and sure, some of that is deus ex machina, but when it's shown on-panel it's usually fairly consistent with the Marvel U we know). Half the time she just talks the villain out of whatever he's doing.When she "died" (someone faked her death, wtf) her funeral was jam packed with both heroes and villains, all of them on their best behavior and offering heart-felt eulogies. Hell, she saw through Nightmare's dream-invading shenanigans, foiled his plans, then took him on a dream adventure because he just seemed so FORLORN.
>>147113301People just think squirrels are cute
>>147144576>When she "died" (someone faked her death, wtf) her funeral was jam packed with both heroes and villains, all of them on their best behavior and offering heart-felt eulogies.Citation?
Ew unironic Dan Slott postin...You guys are gross.
>>147146054He sucks but somehow became very influential for better or for worse, for worse.
>>147143660I hope not.
>>147144559‘Hero’ isn’t an occupation (to a New Yorker it’s a weird sandwich to quote Oddball). Even if it is something you can do as a ‘job’ you know what I meant, heroic disposition.>>147144576Talking to squirrels and negotiating are powers, we just never put them up there with magnetism and prep time.
>>147113412How many comics has she actually have?
>>147146054>>147146937You are tiresome.
>>147148507Counting things where she's a guest star or team member? Probably in the ballpark of 100 appearances. Her book went to 50 with volume 2.
>>147138316Artist?
>>147145580Squirrel Girl 37.
>>147148877Hi Dan, Your She-Hulk run was more or less just incel revenge fiction.
>>147149846Chickpea/Liefeldianabomination
>>147113301China made an attractive thicc model. Her modern comics still suck ass.
>>147149942I will say this, they at least all turned up in black which is more than a lot of cape funerals.
>>147150397What has she been in most recently other than Spider-Boy?
>>147150412USAvengers
>>147150679Care to post some appearances?
>>147150701No I would not.
>>147150679she really doesn't do much in USAvengers
>>147150791Nor in the previous series but that's not the point. She's there at least. But that's just how irrelevant she still is. No amount of lust over his Rivals version will make up for the damage from the solo.
>>147150808>it was so damaging it got 50 issues and a radio showWish more books I like got damaged that much.She's a comedy character like Howard the Duck. They're hard to use as recurring characters outside their own books.
>>147120138I suppose since she's part of the Great Lakes Avengers, she's at least Midwestern, like from Minnesota or Wisconsin. In Rivals, at least, she has a slight Midwestern accent
>>147151409She's a Canadian American who spent some time in the Midwest before moving to New York.
>>147151422>Canadian AmericanWhat continent is Canada in again?
>drew a pic of Squirrel Girl years ago in response to 2010s redesign>remember somebody comparing it to Drip Rat's>drive died so I no longer have it
>>147151449You're speaking English, burrito-nigger. The word 'American' or 'America' exclusively means the USA.There is no word in English for being 'from the Americas' (referring to both continents of North and South America) Sure in other languages American does mean from the Americas, but not in the one you're using right now.
I'm nuts for Squirrel Girl.
>>147151409>I suppose since she's part of the Great Lakes Avengers, she's at least Midwestern, like from Minnesota or Wisconsin.The other GLA members are from the mid-west.Squirrel Girl was recruited in Central Park. She's a transplant. It's never been brought up before >In Rivals, at least, she has a slight Midwestern accentDoes she? I've only ever heard her say "WILD STAMPEEEEEEDE" which just sounds like cowboy talk to me and definitely not Canadian.
>>147148227Negotiating is not a power.
>>147154073neither is archery or marksmanship.
>>147146054/co/'s hateboner for Slott baffles me. I'm certainly not his biggest fan, he's written some stinkers, but he's written some stuff I very much enjoyed to. More to the point, he's written hundreds of comics. The way some anons act like it's not possible anyone enjoys his work comes off as severely mentally challenged.
>>147154090Sure, but it goes back to anon's claim that she's oblivious to how powerful she is. The thing is she's tough as fuck - maybe Spider tough - but she's still fighting (and winning) waaaaaaay above her weight class, by being just so damn resourceful, clever, empathetic, etc. I wouldn't list any of that as her being powerful. She's able to save the day from guys like Doom and Dormammu DESPITE being way less powerful than them.
>>147154180>I wouldn't list any of that as her being powerfulAnon, there's a power that comes from deep inside of you...
>>147154249
>>147154159You have to be a complete retard if you like any of his work, It's all derivative garbage he's stolen.
Why did Ember spawn in a dragon instead of giving herself the Mace of Molag Bal and doing the Fortify Restoration loop so she could kill and soultrap everybody in one hit? Is she stupid?
>>147154180Original anon here, when I say powerful I meant in the sense that she is able to regularly do the things she does. I would say that ‘luck’ or ‘deus ex machina’ could count as a power in the same sense ‘preptime’ does. You’re correct that she’s not powerful in the traditional sense of controlling the weather or punching really really hard, but there’s *something* she has that makes her able to do the things she does. Sorry if I wasn’t clear I was trying to be succinct. I guess the general theme of Squirrel Girl apart from the face value gag of being absurd is that despite being the nominally weakest person on a team by appearance she’s arguable the most ‘powerful’ in terms of accomplishment to effort, but she’s still this sweet little nutty woman despite that.
>>147154680>Nobody is allowed enjoy any part of a 34-year career encompassing hundreds of comics What an exhausting and embarrassing way to act.
>>147155233He's never wrote a single good comic in all those years that's the real embarrassing part.
>>147155233Dan Slott bring out the worst in characters, They're just all unlikable & mean spirited.
>>147155587¯\_(ツ)_/¯I enjoyed the Great Lakes Avengers story in this thread more than you hated that She-Hulk story.
>>147155937I doubt that.
>>147155957
>>147127078I wish squirrel girl had braces.
I just think she’s neat
>>147153454Well first off, it's "SQUIRREL STAMPEDE"Second, you can hear for yourself.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b5BZhv5U6RQI don't know if I'd call it completely midwestern, but it's not a southern drawl nor completely Canadian either. It's a dorky inbetween which kind of fits Squirrel Girl
>>147156756You drew this?
>>147156756Tummy.
>>147157713I wish.
Thread's still up, let's have a quickie Man I'd love a quickie with Doreen *shot*
>>147158148
>>147158151>You'll never kiss her nutty lips while her breasts press against your chest.
>>147158109I hate that the purple haired anime woman on the top right is supposed to be Firestar.
>>147159124>Firestar with short hairwut?
>>147158131>>147158138What's his deal then?
>>147159343he vipes the vindows
>>147159573kek
>>147159124damn
>>147159124I only know her from the old cartoon, have her comic appearances been good?
>>147161029Not really, no.She had a good run in the Spider-Man <3 MJ books. Most writers at Marvel hate Firestar and only wish to see her suffer.
>>147161370>Not drawn like a naked woman just coloured yellow.Okay maybe that would have been much, shame to hear though. She was made because they didn’t have the rights to Human Torch IIRC (for the show).
>>147161808>She was made because they didn’t have the rights to Human Torch IIRC (for the show).That and they wouldn't allow Peter to be roommates with MJ. (80's censors deemed that would have been immoral.)
>>147159135they gave her short hair recently as well in X-men so she didn't outshine Jean
>>147162194Ah yes ‘living in sin’, things sure have changed.
>>147121852nice gif.
>>147113301Post more of magical girl Doreen.
>>147158168nice lips
>>147113301Steve Ditko
>>147159343Dude worked for an insurance company, checking out all the stuff people used to protect their valuables, then turned around and put on a silly mask with a voice modulator and stole the shit. No powers, no gimmick, nothing, but he's the first villain Speedball ever took down and he's got a weird obsession going on.
>>147168200Ah, okay, thanks.
>>147167389
>>147167095I dunno man, looks to me like all the Ditko-isms of her first appearance were all but completely phased out by the time she joined JLA.Like it or not, most of her modern appeal is thanks to Slott, seems like.
>>147138342>>147138949Don't forget the dozens of Hydra dudes she slaughtered.
>>147168583>with her fat ass
