I thought they were

eating her body's tissue.

You're probably right. I was reading it late at night.

One of the few times reading a comic has made me feel physically ill.

Superhuman strength
Superhuman durability
Flight
Psionic protection

That's...kinda boring.

 

[odiin]

That's...kinda boring.

Doesn't matter since they're pretty much totally irrelevant.

 

[jon bones]

That's...kinda boring.

go read Alias

 

[Ithil]

That's...kinda boring.

Her powers are more or less irrelevant to the series.

 

[Slayven]

I think Mattie is a Mutant, some thugs used her as a source for Mutant Growth Hormons.

Mattie was empowered by the fathering of Five and taking all the powers from the previous Spider Women.

That's...kinda boring.

tell that to Man Mountain Marko

 

[Jables Swan]

Her powers are more or less irrelevant to the series.

and totally not boring.

 

[Father_Brain]

Her powers are more or less irrelevant to the series.

Eh, she flies and uses superstrength a bunch of times.

But her origin and power set are very much intended to be generic; the entire point of her character in Alias is basically "generic superheroine gone wrong."

Quite how that aspect will carry through into the Netflix series remains to be seen, as the MCU has a much more limited history and that sort of origin and power set isn't really an established trope in-universe.

 

[mreddie]

That's...kinda boring.

It's not about her powers, it's her attitude that sets her apart.

 

[Pachimari]

Wait she can fly!? Whoa didn't know that. Actually I know nothing about her, so I'm excited to see what kind of show this ends up as.

 

[Dalek]

I wonder if they can tie DD, Jessica and Luke Cage having the origins of their powers be related to the same chemical/pharma company.

You've all convinced me to read Alias. Can't be darker than Crossed...

 

[Slayven]

You've all convinced me to read Alias. Can't be darker than Crossed...

Alias is the opposite of Crossed.

 

[Loke13]

You've all convinced me to read Alias. Can't be darker than Crossed...

Yeah I think I might want to read Alias now.

 

[Funky Papa]

You've all convinced me to read Alias. Can't be darker than Crossed...

Alias can be dark at times, but it's more neo-noire than anything else.

Crossed is another vehicle for Ennis to project his internal traumas.

 

[jon bones]

You've all convinced me to read Alias. Can't be darker than Crossed...

it's definitely not, but if you're interested in this show at all you absolutely should read it.

 

[Slayven]

Greg Land should do a "remaster" for Alias for the launch of the tv show.

Eka Darville, Erin Moriarty and Wil Traval are joining the cast.

Darville will play Malcolm, a neighbor of Jessica’s whose life will cross with the private detective's in a surprising way. Moriarty will play Hope, a young girl who becomes a client of Alias Investigations, Jessica's business. Traval is playing a by-the-book New York Police Department officer.

 

[GAMEPROFF]

So they basicly confirmed the first Story Arc of Alias with this.

 

[Penguin]

[Delio]

Mike Colter talks about Luke Cage:

What can you tell us about the Luke Cage TV series on Netflix?

Marvel actually gives you a special training class in how not to say too much in interviews [laughs]. We’re in the middle of shooting AKA Jessica Jones and Luke Cage is a very interesting character who just happens to have super strength and unbreakable skin. He’s a neighbourhood hero, very much linked to New York and Jessica Jones. It’s all part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe but Luke Cage is a darker, grittier, more tangible character than Iron Man or Thor. He likes to keep things close to his chest, operate on the hush-hush. He has these abilities but he’s not sure how and when to use them. He’s a very nuanced character.

 

[More_Badass]

So all these heroes pop up post-Battle of New York? Any explanations how they get their powers in the MCU?

Terrigenesis?

Is that from AoS? I don't watch the show

 

[Father_Brain]

...maybe that will be addressed in the actual series?

 

[jmood88]

Why don't you just wait until the shows are actually out?

 

[Blader]

So all these heroes pop up post-Battle of New York? Any explanations how they get their powers in the MCU?

Probably more so that they feel more comfortable operating out in the open in a post-Avengers world.

 

[Callibretto]

So all these heroes pop up post-Battle of New York? Any explanations how they get their powers in the MCU?

in Agents of Shields, they mention that people with powers do exist and SHIELD keep a list of people who they know. some people got their power because of accident, contact with alien artifact or some kind of experiment and there are some who we just got no explanation at all.

 

[Slayven]

I am pretty sure they will do the prison pressure cooker thing for Luke Cage. Maybe make it an Hydra project gone wrong. But in his show.

 

[Thatonemoor]

Is that from AoS? I don't watch the show

It'so how Inhumans get their powers. But yeah AoS is currently focusing really hard on inhumans.
