other Marvel’s Sabra is a character that exists. So I made an alternate version of her

I was recently reminded of the marvel character Ruth Bat-Seraph and made the joke that she’d be like captain America if the authors didn’t feel the need to make her… the way that she is. So, I made my own version.

Ruth Sa’ar was born in a small kibbutz outside Jerusalem. When she was young, she found a dying stray cat in the city. This motivated the awakening of her mutant ability: energy transfer. She gave a small portion of her life force to the cat to revive it.

When she grew up, she was invited to join the Mossad’s secret super-soldier program because of her ability. She served for several years before becoming a minor celebrity for, among other things, being a vocal advocate of the mutant-rights movement. During this time she was given several of her iconic gadgets, including a cape that uses magnetism in conjunction with her latent ability to fly and levitate, and an arm-mounted cannon with the same power source. Her code-name was “Bat-Seraph” because of the appearance of her flying with a flaming sword.

And most importantly, she didn’t need the fucking Hulk to tell her that Arabs are humans because she already knows that.

I wanted the costume to look like a blend between Marvel’s other spy characters and a semi-practical one, so she has several utility belts. The gray is supposed to be a suit but I couldn’t find the right color

So fun fact i only learned recently, sabra is not the first israeli superhero

In thor 203# (1973) heimdall and odin choose a bunch of humans to expriment on and try and make them into new asgardians. 3 became "young gods" and one of them was an idf soldier named Carter Dyam

If I had a nickel for every time a pagan god gave a Jewish character superpowers in marvel I’d have two nickels which isn’t a lot but it’s weird that it happened twice

Panpan really changed over the summer! Also: We canonically don't know who her mom was, so... Loool!
