Full disclosure: I considered a whole sequence of Scott and Xavier developing and testing the new visor, but ultimately decided it slowed things down.

SEE!!!  That sort of brilliance is what I'm talking about!  A balance of pacing that remains loyal to the craft!

"I spent my first year on IRON FIST thinking his costume was brown"

***

Wow.  I thought Iron Fist was Brown even today.  
It's not?
Yeah, I am color blind too.
At least green/brown and some blue/purple.

What's funny is I completely forgot that I was colorblind until reading this just now. It has probably been years since I thought of it.

Great Elsewhen page.  
I keep thinking "JB has hit his stride" and yet each issue looks better and better.
Just wow.

I am also color blind. Red-green (I think that's the most common in men).

I was surprised to learn once that it has some visual acuity advantage in addition to the obvious disadvantage of not knowing the color of Iron Fist's costume (medically referred to as ferrum pugnus confusione).

A tiny frustration since it became widely known that I’m colorblind is having to explain over and over that no, it doesn’t mean I see in black and white.

Does raise the old question, tho, of whether we all see the same colors. Is your red maybe my blue?

I can get brown and purple totally mixed up, plus one eye sees color warmer and slightly darker than the other.

I also remember a very odd photocopier that registered blues and red in b&w the opposite of the usual... I was hauling '40s-'60s comics there for awhile to get neat looking copies of the covers where anything in the one color showed up like no color. Between two copies from two machines maybe I could've almost reconstructed the original artwork.

I hope we get to see if Sprite can be untangled sooner rather than later; also a bit nervous there might be something along the lines of baby arms and flesh & bones! :^D

What has eight limbs, screeches and walks through walls? :^O

One more attempt at the M-men name:

meta-
denoting position behind, after, or beyond.

as in metamorphosis.

The "Meta-Men"?

My friend is colorblind. Mostly,  as I was told,  he has trouble with greens and browns.

Are there any actual cases of colorblindness where it is that they see black and white? It seems with all the cases I've heard, it's more about distinguishing between colors.

MH: Are there any actual cases of colorblindness where it is that they see black and white?

As with many things, there are is a wide range of variation in color-blindness.  Seeing in (effectively) monochrome is known as Achromatopsia.  This link takes you to a color-blind awareness information page:  https://www.colourblindawareness.org/colour-blindness/types- of-colour-blindness/

Come for the comics - stay for the knowledge - so many facts about color blindness.  Huh.  I'm a lucky one with no issues on that front.  Although, like JB I've always wondered if what I see as one color others see as a different one but we both use the same name.  Would explain the early Daredevil costume :)
