Ask a Marvel

Do you have a question that is in need of answering? Are you just curious about something? Are you a fan of Marvel? Then you have come to the right place! Pick a character and send us a question, any question at all. It can be about Marvel, it can be love advice, it can be anything! Of course this is where I mention that I do not work for Marvel or own these characters and the views expressed here are not from Marvel comics.

Dear Ororo, A while back I asked about how to not be attacked again at college and it's worked out well. Thank you for all of your wonderful advise about starting college. So far it has gone wonderfully and looks like it's set to get even better. My classes are wonderful and so are all of the other students. Whilst of course I'm hardly a social butterfly, I feel safe for once. But if I ever get scared I just image you or one of the other X-Men standing by my side and I feel strong again. Thanks.

I am glad to hear that things are going so well for you. Just because we are mutants doesn’t mean that we don’t want to help out others in need. Stay strong and have faith, child. And know that I am always here if you need me.

Hey Cyclops, Why are all the characters turning gay? I'm supposed to help the community, I run into 10x more homeless people than gays, should i petition to make more homeless characters superheroes?? Just so that we get awareness out there?

I don’t think “all the characters” are “turning gay” here, my friend. As far as being homeless, we mutants know an awful lot about that. I fully support raising the awareness of homelessness, but not by complaining about other issues which happen to get more of the limelight these days.

hey, Deadpool my man! which province are you from in Canada?

Alright, I am gonna lay this out there straight for you. My memory is shoddy at best. I used to think there were some things I knew for sure, but now I don’t know so much. Let me get back to you on that one.

Hi! So I'm an 18year old girl & I'm a virgin. Most of my friends are younger than me & one of them who just turned 15 lost her virginity very early & she keeps on telling me that I need to lose my virginity so I don't end up as a 20year old virgin. & I don't really wanna lose my virginity to just anybody, I wanna save myself for the right person, I want it to feel right & that I actually love that person. & I don't like that she keeps on telling me this, it puts pressure on me. What should I do?

Listen, sugah, ya need to stick to your guns! Ah’m not here to tell you one way or the other which is right or wrong, but Ah am gonna tell ya to be confident in what ya believe in! If ya wanna wait then wait! It will make it that much more meaningful for ya. So just tell yer little friend there that ya want to do it yer way and that’s that!

Hi Jessica! It's your anon Doctor who buddy again :). How excited are you about Peter Capaldi being the twelfth Doctor? ^^

I try not to get too excited over these things. But I admit that I am indeed looking forward to seeing how he portrays our favorite time lord.

Dear Wolverine, seeing as you teach literature at the school, what are some of your favourite books? Are there any particular genres, narrative tools, writing styles or authors that you like more than others?

A lot of people are surprised that I do actually read from time ta time. I particularly liked J.R.R. Tolkien’s Lord of the Rings. Read it way before the big budget movies came out.

Hi Gambit! Just wanna let you know that you're my favourite superhero <3

As well I should be, mon ami!

Dear Any Member of the Jean Grey School, About a year or so ago I was assaulted and well..other stuff you don't really wanna know about, by another classmate who was meant to be my best friend. This attack was so severe it caused me to develop epilepsy from repeated blows to the head and this later caused OMD with turned in to bi-polar disorder. In less than a week I will be starting college and would like some help on how to avoid ending up in the same situation again please.

Most of the students seem to want to get some revenge for you. As does our esteemed Headmaster I would assume. I am terribly sorry that you had to go through all of that, and I can imagine that letting someone close to you again and trusting them would be difficult for you now. Being guarded isn’t necessarily a bad thing. Take things slow. Make acquaintances and do group activities as you start to get to know people. And know that there is a big change in maturity from high school to college, and that is where you are more likely to meet friends for life.

Best of luck to you.

Hi Bobby! Nervous new school girl again, just wanna say that I do own more X-men shirts but so far I have only worn one in my new school :)

I like your style! Please tell me you have at least one featuring yours truly!!

Bobby .. aka Iceman!

heyya quentin, i was wondering, what do you find attractive in a girl?

I generally like them maybe a bit older. Maybe a little curvy and … oh heck, I just like them all! Especially when they like me!

Wolverine why are you so smoken hot?

Is this some crack about one of the many times I have been set on fire? Or are you just attracted to my animalistic behavior?

Wolverine

[askamarvel]

Hi! Nervous new school girl here. Just wanna say thank you for the advices <3. I have just finished my first week in the new school & I like it a lot, I met some nice new friends, the teachers are good :). Also I wore my X-men t-shirt the first day & no one picked on me for being a nerd :D (I have also worn my Captain America shirt & my Iron man shirt during the week & no one picked on me)

Sweet! I am glad to hear that you have had a cool experience so far. Not sure about your choice in Avengers themed attire, however. I think you need to stick to us X-Men! The sane X-Men at least.

Bobby .. aka Iceman!

Okay so I'm an 18year old girl. I tried my first cigarette a couple of weeks ago. & since school started, a week ago some of my classmates that smoke asked me to buy cigarettes for them (they are my friends so they doesn't just use me for cigarettes also they are 16). & well I have felt a bit like smoking again since that first cigarette & since I started buying cigarettes for my classmates I have started to feel more like that. I know smoking is bad but I still feel like really doing it again

I don’t have to be a scientific genius to tell you that smoking is not good for you at all. I am sure that you are aware of all of the harmful effects that smoking can cause. It is also unattractive as well as expensive. I can not see any reason why you would want to continue doing such things when there really are no benefits to it other than thinking you look cool. But even then you only look cool to other smokers. Others will just think it is rather sad. Stop now before it is too late. The longer you continue to smoke the harder it will be to quit. Please take my advice and leave the cigarettes behind. You will be doing yourself AND your friends a favor. Which reminds me, stop buying them for your friends. A real friend would stop them from getting too addicted. Plus it is illegal to provide cigarettes for them.

Ok I have a question and I don't care who answers it just please answer it. So the Marvel NOW Young Avengers series and I've been reading it and I still can't tell. When they were on Earth was it set on the Regular Marvel Earth of 616 or another one?

Ah yes I can see how those events could confuse someone even with such an obviously advanced intellect such as the one you possess! I can tell you that the times that were spent on Earth were in what you mortals call the “616” universe. Except for the times that we weren’t. And now we aren’t. Voila! Thank you for the marvelous question, friend!

Merci beaucoup!
