Patients 1 and 2 are Miles Morales and Carl Manvers.

Disagree. #1 is Squirrel Girl, a character whose claim to fame is that the creator undermined some of the Marvel Universe's best villains by having them job to her.

Honestly, Squirrel Girl was kinda fun for everyone who was down with the in-joke nature of the character before the Wokeness Brigade got their mitts on her. If you look back at her original appearances (ignoring the Steve Ditko horror-show version of her), they had her set up to be the cute, plucky, sidekick type with a gag power and the meta-joke of her being able to use that to beat anyone because you're not so tough when a squirrel runs up your pants leg and bites you in the nuts. Unfortunately, the SJW clique got their hooks into her and turned her into the fat, buck-toothed, wokeness mouthpiece she exists as now, ruining all the fun.

beat anyone because you're not so tough when a squirrel runs up your pants leg and bites you in the nuts.

Especially considering that anyone witness to this is going to start laughing their asses off at you while the squirrel is trying to gather your nuts for the winter.

That would be fine if she was the star of her own comic book universe. But when you're playing in somebody else's sandpit, you should be more respectful. Because the armoured sorcerer-scientist with indomitable will is that tough.

I have no proof but I am willing to bet $100 Marvel comics forced Squeenix to put Kamala into the game.

Now that's not fair, I doubt anyone at Squeenix even knows about her and when Marvel said they would have to put "Miss Marvel" in to the game they thought it would be the cool, pre-hormone treatment, Carol Danvers one.

And I wouldn't even put past that the ugly characters are due to the artist being pissed off by that and doing a half assed job on purpose.

Half of her lines were cringeworthy reactions to doing things or meeting people. She acts like a teenage girl near her crush whenever anything happens and it's honestly painful, but I was expecting her to be full "future is female" cult material.

Kamala's shtick is more of a "ZOMG I'M SUCH A SUPERHERO FANGIRL AND MY FAVORITE HERO GAVE ME HER NAME!!!" thing. She's an Inhuman who was blessed by Carl Manvers herself with the "Ms. Marvel" name once she got smacked with the Terrigen mists and got her powers. Her comic book character is just about as awful as it sounds, because it's either fangirl SQUEE'ing, her pulling a Mr. Fantastic-style ripoff of changing her body's size and shape to fight street-level crime, or being a mouthpiece for whatever SJW writer du jour is handling the book, with added bonus of the character being a teenage Muslim girl.

Given that, I'm not surprised that the majority of her lines were total cringe.

Ironheart would be Patient #4 (or maybe #5 if you backtrack and count Squirrel Girl's transition to wokeness as the #1 and shift everyone forward), and her origin is a complete shit-show. "She's a black teenager that's smarter than Tony Stark!" Yeah, if that were the case then why'd she have to steal Tony's armor designs to build her suit?

So, basically, to "fight stereotypes", they just build a character out of nothing but new and acceptable stereotropes and demand we worship the shit. Got it.

I guess "false idols" come in many different forms, and from many different places, after all.
