Then please don't go back and try and put words in my mouth - if you remember my comments, then you know my hatred for Modern hacks has nothing to do with Marvel or its history.
It's kind of like giving comics to your younger sibling and he rips them all to shreds - Marvel Modern hacks.
Wait, don't go back and put your own words in your mouth I like your takes too, and I actually agree with your take on MP 1 but it seems like your own words are fair game.
So when Hulk went back to grey and change his name to Mr Fix It if I recall correctly; is a new first appearance? "New" color, new outfit, new attitude. As for powers is FF21 important? Sue gain power of invisibility over other objects and able to project force field same character new powers How many costume changes has Iron man had? What about Hawkeye becoming Giant Man, new name, powers and costume? Its a new creative look and direction only. This happens with so many characters we would be full of new first appearances.
I understand JC hating modern Marvel but he is using a .com site that modern Marvel recreated while making fun of a reconn that if I am not mistaken took place in the bronze age. Never read Avengers that much. Might be later when AWC re-intro'd the original Human Torch in issue 50 still in the 80's.
