The New Warriors Wokeness Reboot got delayed, and then quietly canceled as they realized that trying to take back terms such as "Snowflake" and "Safe Space", while making all the characters SJW caricatures, would be an utter and complete failure.
I halfway wish they would have gone through with it, if only so we could see how fast the sales numbers on the book cratered and the book died. I bet it would have left a nice, Wile E. Coyote-style outline in the ground where it hit the bottom of the canyon.
Man, I could have eaten a bag of Scrabble tiles and shit out a better origin story than that. Whatever EIC at Marvel greenlit that garbage needed fired along with the writer.
They could have just used Nanites ffs.
That's exactly where my mind went when I heard about the character. Have it set up so that the uncle/father/whoever the hell was working on an experimental nanite cloud designed to maintain always-on Internet connectivity and enhance the human body in the process. Nanites infect the kid before they're ready for prime time, he gets super powers, and you get Chuck 2.0 in comic book form. I mean, hell, the unoriginal fucks rip off every other idea under the sun, so why not go for broke and go with one of the oldest sci-fi tropes in existence?
