Oh you're playing my jam today! First thing I think of...of course the MCU pops up. But reading spider man as a kid and how he was just a kid like me was when I first started. Of course the X-Men cartoons in the 90s played a bit role but the big moment for me was the Age of Apocalypse arc.

So hard to pick. I loved the Avengers before they became a household name. But my favorite is Ta Nahesi Coates run for Black Panther. Also Gail Simone is doing amazing work with her Run of Uncanny XMen. From the opening issue she tapped into a very emotional story.

Good Lord you're not making it easy. So many incredible characters. But I have to go with Riri Williams. Child prodigy from Chicago. Eve Ewing tapped into something special I meant to mention her in the second answer. Loved the TV series too.

My family is from Louisiana so back in the 90s I was all about the Ragin Cajun, Remy LeBeau aka Gambit. His arc in X-Men '97 was beautiful if tragic. And had echoes of Age of Apocalypse where Magneto and Rogue were married and had a child (named Charles of course). Now it's Riri Williams
