His face in the last one! If anyone wants to know what Peter Parker is like these panels are the perfect summery.

And then there's this one

#spidey's sense of humour has always made him one of my favourite superheroes#he was my fav growing up#i should go dig up my old spidey comics and reread them lol (via @roennq)

I know it’s essentially supposed to be a joke BUT if we consider the Fox X-Men Days of Future Past where Magneto is in prison for “assassinating JFK”, except he explains to Quicksilver that he was framed and was actually trying to *save* JFK because “he was one of us” (deep breath) AND we remember that in TWS HYDRA was all about Project Insight - targeting known and potential threats… it just makes sense.

HYDRA was always trying to do it, they just didn’t have the enormous firepower of Project Insight. Although Bucky must’ve been deep undercover because I don’t know how Magneto missed that metal arm.

Yes please I love that, I need more X-Men and Avengers crossovers and theories. Hydra would totally assassinate a mutant president and that's exactly the type of thing they'd use Bucky for, plus he's literally a trained sniper. Perhaps Bucky was far enough away for Magneto not to detect him and that's also why he failed to stop the bullet, it happened so fast and he just barely detected it and started bending before it hit JFK.

Maybe the place was just so loud and busy he couldn't focus, or maybe Hydra knew someone like Erik or other mutant supremacists would be there and they planned against them. They might have even tipped the government off on his abilities and the strange instance of a curving bullet to get him imprisoned 🧐

But that's just a theory, a game theory-

I suppose the chances of seeing anyone with a metal arm are fairly remote, so if you’re not expecting it 🤔 plus HYDRA/SHEILD would have a legit reason to a) be around the cavalcade and b) taking over certain buildings to establish “security”

The other question is what kind of mutant would JFK have been? I’m leaning towards something like Kayla in the Wolverine Origins film - suggestion through touch. A very useful “skill” for a politician.

That's why politicians shake everyone's hands omggg. That would be wild. Also why hydra needed to assassinate him - shield would have been influencing him and controlling global security, but once they realize that HE was controlling THEM because his interests diverged from their mission and they were losing their grasp on him due to his mutation, they had to come up with an assassination from "the outside".

Also it's theorized that JFK was killed for his efforts of emancipating African countries from colonialism (and just his overall progressiveness), he was really passionate about African independence and personally met with a ton of African leaders/Prime Ministers - it makes sense he'd want to personally meet with them to use his mutation to push them towards independence. (These countries are still to this day not free btw like it's very frustrating. Free Congo, free Sudan...)

Hydra would be all over controlling those governments, stealing their resources... so when they realized JFK was destabilizing their control they'd end him quickly, since they couldn't just rig against his re-election when he was so powerful and influential. So I really like your theory, that mutation would work well for him.

Why am I writing historically accurate mutant JFK fanfiction

It’s giving historical realism 🥰

Tying further into the Marvel universe I’d say JFK had underground ties with Wakanda who of course would have a vested interest in outside governments looking to “acquire” resources from African nations.

I’d say his mutation would work on the incumbent black panther *but* they see him for what he is straight away and accept that this coloniser might be workable.

(Why wouldn’t you write historically accurate mutant JFK fanfiction)

#*grabs popcorn*#I wonder if the event lead to#the winter soldier#going awol#as it’s a thing he’s mentioned as doing several times#and though he couldn’t really fight the orders given him#while under control#it’s possible that magneto being there#and using his powers had some effect on Bucky#even if Bucky was given some form of non-metal bullets#because Hydra is prepared in a verse#where magneto is running around (via @pollydoodles)

Darcy was fresh out of college, paying off her student loans through some illegal freelance hacking work, when she got sucked into the life of an Avenger by a man whose codename was – and she still snickered about it, even after all this time – Merlin, of all things.

“Where’s King Arthur?” she had asked with a snort, and the plain-faced man raised an unimpressed eyebrow.

“At headquarters, deciding whether you’re worth investing his time in,” he said baldly, and that had shut her up quick.

She took over the mantle of Gareth, after her predecessor was killed – being one of the rare few on the team with no metahuman abilities, it took more than a few years to shape the lazy, unmotivated college grad with no prospects into a highly trained killer with a penchant for knives and bespoke wool suits.

Leather and spandex were so early 2000s – give her a bulletproof double-breasted navy jacket with a matching skirt any day, with a dash of bright red lipstick to match.
