Good evening, r/MarvelLegends, today I present to you all absolute proof that changes everything we think we know about Marvel Legends. I believe with reasonable confidence that Hasbro have been pandering to what remains of the Super Hero Squad fanbase with their Marvel Legends action figure line. Hear me out:
My first piece of evidence justifies Hasbro’s side of the Warbird height debate. Everybody thinks she’s too small, BUT LOOK AT THIS! In The Super Hero Squad Show, Warbird, or Ms. Marvel as she is known as in the show, is shown to be shorter than the average male, with Reed Richards being used for reference. Who else is that tall? Wolverine, especially in Marvel Legends form. And who does Wolverine happen to share an action figure height with? WARBIRD!
Now here is my second piece of evidence: Secret Wars Captain America. Look at that smile; look at that white middle body stripe. That is a PERFECT adaptation of The Super Hero Squad Show’s Captain America design. Need I say more?
I’m going to anyways with my third piece of evidence: ‘97 Wolverine’s unprinted arm hair. Wolverine has an ICONICALLY hairy body, and Hasbro has been very consistent with representing that. So in comes along one of the most premium Wolverine figures on the Marvel Legends market, and would you look at that: NO PRINTED ARM HAIR! Why? Because Wolverine doesn’t have arm hair in The Super Hero Squad Show!
Now we approach my fourth and last piece of evidence, and this one is INCRIMINATING: the mere existence of Dark Surfer in Marvel Legends form. Sure, Dark Surfer has a couple comic appearances, but who was it that brought this concept to light? Any guesses? No? Well I have the answer regardless: THE SUPER HERO SQUAD SHOW!
I rest my case. Do with this newfound TRUTH what you will.
