Attempt at a Meme
Once more, I have no blog post. So I'm going to try a meme suggested by a friend via email. It's primarily for fanfic writers, I think, but heck, I've written one fanfic once. So hey, why not?
Essentially, you suggest a character, and I will tell you something that I believe whole-heartedly about that character that has no merit or basis what-so-ever in the actual comic books.
For example, I believe that Guy Gardner, though he will never admit this to anyone, bakes a mean quiche.
Don't let the name fool you. Quiches are indeed manly.
I also believe that back in the days when SHIELD's headquarters were still enterable via Barber Shop chair, Nick Fury would come in jauntily whistling "Johanna", just to freak out any showtune-familiar new recruits.
So...please suggest a character! Since empty memes always look so sad!

As someone who's written a fanfic or two I'd be interested to see what you believe whole-heartedly about Rogue.

Several names are fine. :-)

Of COURSE Guy can make quiche. It's a pie full of eggs, you don't get much more manly than that!
That said, I'd love to know more about...
Buck Wargo
Mace Gardner
Peggy Louise Gardner

Speaking of Rogue reminds me that in the issue in which she joined the X-Men (UXM #171), Colossus was seen preparing to make quiche in the X-Mansion's kitchen just when she arrived.
Also, if several characters are allowed, I'd also like to hear about:
Arrowette
Impulse
Valerie Cooper
Mary Jane Watson-Parker
Gen (Usagi Yojimbo)

Hmm, if several are allowed, how about:
Kyle Rayner
Hercules (marvel version)
Power Girl
Captain America (Steve, the other guys, or Buck)

I am also whole-heartedly convinced that Guy Gardner is the man that everyone wants to make their holiday turkey. Deep-fry it and use a bourbon marinade. Very manly, and very tasty (the bird, not Guy -- but I'm sure he is both of those things, too).
And:
Tora
Bea
Kyle
Hank Pym
Also, I will probably snitch this meme from you in the near future.

The Riddler
She-Hulk
uh... Frankenstein's Monster

Since She-Hulk has been mentioned, why don't you complete the trio with:
Susan Storm-Richards
Janet van Dyne
Also, what do you believe about Jaime Reyes's mother?

Dang it, someone already mentioned the ones I was going to, so -
Movieverse!Pepper Potts
Movieverse!Tony Stark
Non-movieverse, emo Tony Stark
Movieverse!Samuel Sterns - that psychologist from The Incredible Hulk who was dating Betty Ross until Banner showed up.

Okay, you people officially want to see me die of exhaustion don't you? :-P
For my sheer sanity, I'm cutting suggestions off here. :-)
