Why not and who says change is always bad?
OK, I'll say it. The former Ms. Marvel is more like the original Cap't Marvel then
whoever stars in "Brother vs. Brother". Which isn't saying much.
Once there was a young boy who went thur a LOT of trouble to
prove he was worthy of his father's name. Until everybody agreed
he was, indeed, Bate's son.
Billy and Mary's parents, Merrill and Joycelyn Batson died in a
stupid pointless car accident. Joyce had only been expecting
one baby and been surprised by twins. They only had one crib. Tomorrow
was Christmas and all the stores would be closed. They left the kids with
Nurse Sara Primm and went to buy another crib.(1) They never got to the store.
Their car slipped on a patch of black ice, skidded out of control and crashed
into a tree. And that was all she wrote for Merrill and Joycelyn Batson.
When Nurse Sara found out, she left the babies with her next door
neighbor, a fellow midwife/babysitter whose discretion could be counted
on (2). Sara went to Anne Bloomfield (3) to tell her what had happened. Right
after Sara got there, Anne went into labor early...fainting after the girl baby
was born. Anne only heard Sara say "it's a girl!" and did not see the baby
die shortly thereafter. (4)
So Nurse Sara made Anne comfy and went back for Mary Batson. Sara
buried dead baby girl secretly, gave Mary to Anne and said nothing so
Mary would have a good home.
Which is why the Marvel Family spent their long and distinguished career
preventing automobile accidents.
(1) Joyce did NOT trust Merril to buy a safe and proper crib. But he knew how to
drive and she didn't...
(2) The nice lady had a lisp and seldom spoke lest people mock her.
(3)Poor people didn't have phones then.
(4) Babies died like flies back then.
