CapnAndy posted:She is the daughter of Scott Summers and Jean Grey from an alternate future that will never happen who came back in time. Her family consists of her half-brother, who is the son of Scott Summers and a clone of Jean Grey who was born in the present and then sent to an alternate future that will never happen to be raised, except it was a different alternate future than Rachel's so she grew up without ever knowing she had a brother until she came back in time. WickedHate posted:She actually has two alternate reality brothers, Cable and X-Man(singular), both named Nate Gray because their alternate universe versions of each other, Cable from the main universe(who's still alternate since Rachael is from yet another timeline)and X-Man from the Age of Apocalypse.

Wait, is Rachel Grey the same thing as Rachel Summers, from Excalibur? Have not read X-anything for a while.

You know, it just occurred to me that after reading those Rachel/Nathan/Nate recaps I nonchalantly nodded my head because it made complete sense to me. I don't know why, but I love that kind of alternate reality and time travel shenanigans.

You could simplify it as "Natan Summers and Rachel Grey are successful time travelers." Which they are, they go back in time to stop their lovely future and succeed eliminating the lovely future they came from and since they don't Marty McFly after changing the future you don't even get the old paradox of not being around to alter the future because they altered their future.

Both of these are the funniest faces I think I've seen today. I can't stop laughing at Mags biting his lip in the first one.

Metal Loaf posted:Nate Grey was also romantically involved with a psychic copy of an alternate universe clone of his mother at one point. It was an alternate universe evil Jean Grey who killed and was impersonating this universe's Maddie Pyror who had been resurrected as a psychic ghost by Nate Grey when he crossed over into the main marvel universe. I love explaining the Summers family to people.

The trading card I got on Magneto way back in the day said he could manipulate the entire electromagnetic spectrum, so he can indeed do absolutely anything he wants. If he wasn't such a loving idiot he'd just make every city on Earth crumble to dust so the mutants can take over.

I don't know what's funnier, that some Gomer Pyle motherfucker insists that Magneto's purple rotorless helicopter sled is a car, or that Magneto has to stop at a gas station to ask directions from a flatscan. An anarchist supervillain who just wants free parking everywhere would be pretty cool. Get the Flag-Smasher on this, stat.

Before the Mega Man/Sonic crossover happened, they were right in the beginning of doing the Mega Man 3 storyline where Mega Man is fighting Break Man (Proto Man's villain identity). Now the crossover is over and we can get back to work. Nobody remembers the crossover, but as we can see, the mad scientist bromance is over.  Mega Man #28

What an exchange. "Besides, fuel is for lesser men! My vehicle needs no gas!" "You're puttin' me on! Every car needs gas!" "You witless young fool! This is not every car, and nobody may dare contradict me, for when they do, I get angry! And when I get angry, things begin to happen!" If they ever make another X-Men cartoon, they should totally get Ed Asner to play this version of Magneto.

Damnit, Magneto, you fight people who fly without engines all the time. You fly without engines. If you see something flying, you don't dismiss it just because you don't hear engines! Magneto's magnetic force field would stop Cyclops's force beams, so there's pretty much nothing it won't affect.
