    In this series, we look at the characters behind the Marvel Snap cards, recapping their origin, their powers, looking at how well they fit their card, and giving you something to read.

      Yeah.
      Jay was sweet and I did find his interactions with Dust kind of adorable because they were like two very shy kittens.
      That issue where she meets his mum made me cry.

    One of my favorite issues as a teen was uncanny x-men 341 where Sam goes toe to toe with Gladiator. Lots of great art from Joe Madureira in that one.

    • @projekttaku1
      @projekttaku1 2 месяца назад

      I feel the need to mention that Gladiator wasn't in the best headspace there and cause his confidence was lower, his power levels were weakened.

      And, of course, if Gladiator pulls Canonball in Snap, Gladiator gets knocked into another location.

  • @FinnyThePoo
    @FinnyThePoo 2 месяца назад +6

    For card/character synergies, I think it's worth noting Cannonball also works well with Professor X. Cards can't move into Professor X's location, whether it's full or not, so he can help set up a situation for Cannonball to destroy another card

      I used to use something similar with Jean Grey & Juggernaut, play Jean first then Juggy (or Cannonball) if you like.

    @brianbett9196 2 месяца назад +6

    I didn't make the connection until your backstory that him leaving rocks behind harkens back to his mining background, which is cool!
    Really hope they go back to having him leave behind a rock after moving the opponent too, like the original data mine.

    All I need now is Karma for my full OG New Mutants deck. Something I like about Sunspot and Cannonball is how much of a bromance they have, but in my head canon , similar to Logan, Scott, & Jean, Roberto, Sam, & Izzy are in a throuple as well.

    I really appreciate the reading recommendations. Didn’t care much for Pixie strikes back, but I loved Hawkeye and Mockingbird (was not expecting Crossfire to be treated with that much gravitas seeing as I was introduced to the character in the 2015 Ant-man book).
    Excited for more😊

      Beto is probably the most common nickname for Roberto in Brazil, and he’s a Brazilian character. He’s very often called Berto or Bobby in comics, but Beto is better
