Heard about the g/t community. I loved the borrower books as a kid so y’all are cool in my book. Anyway here’s a canonical g/t character from marvel. He’s so underrated and honestly one of my favorite minor characters.

His names shortpack and I need him to be appreciated, if my comic nerds won’t do it then I’m going to y’all instead.

Do you have a favorite X-Men/mutant that's like, not one of the more popular ones? I should have worded this better. Do you have a favorite lesser popular mutant/X-Man?

hi. oh my god gripping you. buddy you have no idea.

idk if jono starsmore is that popular but he is my fave 'obscure' one. i call him obscure bc a lot of people dont really know him? at all?? which is wild. to me he is popular. i have a lot to say about him sometimes.

but like my most obscure fave is this guy named shortpack. idek why he was my fave? i dont remember the comic he was in (the only one he was ever in) being too good (it was weird. i remember the villain being. not the best. some parts were ok i think just not.all of it.idk.) but like. he's 8 inches tall and silly. look at him.

he hasnt shown up in any comics after this. which kinda sucks but whatever. he was kinda left to die in the comic but we dont know if he did or not.. sad.

basically he was like. part of xaviers secret(er?) agents and did stuff without even the main team knowing. he had a partner but she supposedly died. so. sucks for him lol

Round 1 Side 2 Match 2

Brigid O'Reilly/Mayhem (Marvel)

Shortpack (Marvel)

Voting ended onJan 22, 2024

propaganda under the readmore

Brigid O'Reilly: She used to be a detective investigating cloak and dagger but then was killed and empowered by both the dark- and light-force and came back as MAYHEM. where she focused on taking out (killing) corrupt cops. she used to view herself as, like, the vengeful ghost of brigid o'reilly before accepting that she and brigid o'reilly are the same person, pretending that brigid was dead was just easier for her to accept than actually dealing with her trauma. also look at her insane dyke energy

shortpack: He showed up in one comic as a member of like The Secret Agent X-Men run by Xavier and was left in the middle of nowhere to literally die. His fate hasn't ever been expanded upon we have to believe he died and no one bothered to bring him back on krakoa (as he is a mutant). He's silly he's the size of a doll he has ranged telepathy and his comic was a bit weird. Can we PLEASE have a win for the literal Little Guy? If he doesn't I'll put him in the microwave.
