@FrostUriah@derekbwriting "for plot"
Dude what?
He was officially captain america. The government owns the title of cap, they gave it to him on the comics for a while. He was cap.
@FrostUriah@derekbwriting Like dude just search what someone taking a mantle means.
USAgent had the mantle of captain america even if Steve didn't give it to him and it was only temporary. That's still categorically a mantle being passed.
@FrostUriah@derekbwriting Yes? He did take the mantle, even says that on the wiki and he was recognized as invincible for a time.
Do you think if someone only temporarily has the role that means they never took the mantle?
Was Tim Drake only ever red robin despite being normal robin for a while?
@FrostUriah@derekbwriting Except peter factually stepped down from being spiderman and had someone else the role.
Just like Steve Rogers did as cap
Or any of the robins did
Or dozens of other superheroes
@FrostUriah@derekbwriting And of course goes into slurs. Reread what you said and how it works both in peter or Ben dying. The mantle was passed of while both were still alive.
Idk why are still trying to pretend mantles don't get passed on, they're *mantles*
@FrostUriah@derekbwriting Peter Parker didn't die, he stepped down and Ben took over the mantle.
Peter officially quit being spiderman and Ben took over. Doesn't matter if he's a clone or not. Quit larping. You're just making it seem like you're just saying spiderman has to be white so ben gets a pass
@weredorf@derekbwriting Yeah he went to a different mantle, there are other robins still who never got a different mantle and there's multiple who are robin at the same time. There's other flashes who all go by flash.
@FrostUriah@derekbwriting What, 1956 is not far back enough in comics for mantle passing to be an established thing? Is Jay Garrick still the only person that should be called flash? Alan Scott the only green lantern?
Jason Todd wasnt Robin?
@weredorf@derekbwriting You know Miles isn't the only other spiderman even in the main universe right?
It's like saying Robin isn't a mantle and it's only dick Grayson.
@FrostUriah@derekbwriting "turn every iconic superhero"
Bro they started out like this, mantles have been a thing for so damn long in comic. You going to complain about the robins being power rangers?
