A Moment Of Marvel Aplomb

[bloodyrosemccoy]

Sometimes, Marvel can be pretty awesome.

Like when it creates a deaf superhero because a small boy is troubled that no superheroes wear hearing aids.

Also note, this is their second hearing aid-wearing superhero--they also sent him images of Hawkeye, who lost 80% of his hearing. I don't know anything about either of these heroes, but I am really hoping at least one also uses sign language and is capital-D Deaf, because that would be awesome.

Different Continuity. There are at least three different versions of Hawkeye (Original, Ultimate, and Movie), which are each somewhat different even tho they're theoretically the same Character.

Original Hawkeye was the one who went mostly deaf from an explosion and wore a hearing aid. I'm not sure if he still does or not, he died and got better, and sometimes that fixes other things as well ;)
