Lies! Read Deadpool MAX, it's awesome, just don't expect Taskmaster to be anything like the regular version of the character.

I don't know, if your costume is basically "tactical grim reaper" and crazy isn't part of your shtick, you were arguably doing something wrong all along.

Some teeth long for ripping, gleaming wet from black dog gums. So you keep your eyes closed at the end. You don't want to see such a mouth up close. before the bite, before its oblivion in the goring of your soft parts, the speckled lips will curl back in a whinny of excitement. You just know it.

The bathroom scene in Pixie Strikes Back #1 is my favourite Rockslide & Anole poo poo outside of X-Dudes.

I was lucky enough to score this issue in a used book store a few weeks back and wouldn't part with it for the world.

^^ Come to think of it, they did Dr. Strange + QQ/Pixie/Eyeboy in A+X, why not Hawkeye + X-Dudes? Or Daredevil + X-Dudes, since that was who they were emulating to begin with.

No, we need Rockslide and Anole in "X-Bros" where they take the train into NYC at night to be superheroes.

Anyway, the reason Rockslide rules is because he thinks being a giant rock monster is totally awesome. He's like Ben Grimm minus the angst.

I think that was one of the only half-good ideas Rob Liefeld ever had - IIRC the Youngblood universe's Thing ripoff, Badrock, was a asthmatic loser kid before he got turned into a superstrong rock monster, and as far as he's concerned it was the best thing that could have possibly ever happened to him.

It's actually a pretty good (if not terribly original) idea, and it certainly deserved being elevated out of an endlessly-rebooted Rob Liefeld project.

Do you know about the X-Men miniseries "X-Men: Protect And Serve"? It had a 4 issue backup story that was exactly this. Rockslide and Anole donned masks and went into San Fran to fight crime.



I wish I could find the next page online.

It's just a splash page of them punching some bad guys stealing a truckload of cash. But to finish Rockslide's sentence for him,
"We are pimps. Super hero pimps.

Seriously, if everybody here goes and buys "X-Men: To Serve and Protect" we might get a sequel from it. Plus the story about Dazzler and a roller-disco MODOK was written by one of our own.
