AFTERMATH: Even the author of historical past feels embarrassed

The "ethical" of historical past is sick

Normally, this comedian was thought of

Marvel's most problematic historical past
the date. It's much less due to what occurred to Carol (which is horrible), however her loving acceptance of the scenario. For Marcus's personal admission, he manipulated and assaulted her sexually. Marcus stole Carol's recollections, letting him really feel the unhealthy anguish with which he was tormented all through his being pregnant.
