A ruthless mercenary who has operated as the right-hand man of the Red Skull as well as a member of the Skeleton Crew, Serpent Squad and, surprisingly, Thunderbolts.
@Hit_Monkey: I agree a 110% if that is possible. He probably my favourite comic villain. In my opinion, he should have multiple mini series like Venom did.
@Cafeterialoca: I don't he's portayed as cool to be honest, just a really good bad guy to write story's with. Why couldn't the mini be about Crossbones being made to acount for the evil he has done. I wouldn't read a book with a convicted rapist and murderer if it reveled in all the nasty stuff he gets up to like some sort of snuff comic.
@Hit_Monkey: I guess I'm sort of bothered by it. The article for the one-shot had the editor going "Crossbones is a cool character to get into" or something along those lines. I'm against portraying rapists in that manner, and I also think it's a bad idea to redeem a rapist character. Why should Diamondback, the character he rapes fade into obscurity while Crossbones climbs in popularity?
@Cafeterialoca: I think he raped more woman than just diamondback to be honest. Doesn't his origin involve him sexually assalting someone? Also I didn't say reedeem I said 'account' for what he did, just because your past catches up with you does not mean your going to walk away all shiny, clean and new. I'm bothered by the idea of censoring a character just beacause he is a nasty piece of work. If you can make a good story with him then it ought to be made, While I agree that diamondback should get more face time, but I don't think it's got anything to do with the fact she got raped by crossbones. I think it's a bit unfair to cite that as having anything to do with diamondbacks diminutive presence in the marvel U.
