In the last #hkmc, we show Bucky without his prosthetic, bc superhero comics are super weird about disability

There are a few canon-disabled characters, but their superpower is always that they’re... able-bodied*

*unless in a wheelchair, then their superpower is THEIR BRAIN
I’m not saying disability should be the story, because struggle porn is a drag, too, but just... show disabled people being people, and living with their disability, don’t give them a superpower that obliviates that part of their character
Anyway I’ve just spent a not inconsiderable time talking to disabled vet friends (both invisible & visible disabilities) for consulting on Bad Karma (the screenplay that grew out of drunk HKMC convos) and a friend might make action figures of our disabled leads & I am excited.
Also, hire @snarkbat to write a Daredevil mini, you cowards
