Seriously, how does that X-visor work in terms of opening/closing?

Also any time you have to mention powers needing special gear to contain them, I immediately think of lovely shonen anime and bad 90s superhero comics.

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.

He's wearing it as intentional iconography. The rest of his X-Men are all in black and white, and then he's got the big red X right on his face. He's literally making himself the face of the mutant movement.

The same way the classic one works, Scott puts his hand to his head and magically beams shoot out. The visor doesn't open or anything, just BEAMS. Alternately, occasionally he just blasts without even putting a hand near his visor, so really the visor just works on the power of "when it needs to work".

Actually the times he does it without touching the visor is because he uses controls in his gloves. Something like touching certain fingers together.

An old comic I have somewhere explains it! There's buttons on the sides of the visors and also in his gloves. He can also control the size of the opening so if he wants a small beam to press a button in some insane Kirby-machine without destroying it, he can do so.

Also, the visor controls are more sensitive, so unless he touches those it's just your bread and butter mid-power beam.

The real "how does he shoot" question is how does he shoot when his eyes are behind the black portions of the costume?

Whatever. Cyke's Racer X mask is rad as hell, and it makes him look cool., which is like the whole point of a costume. Take a look at Magneto right now. Now THAT is an awful costume.

Atomic Robo and the Shadow From Beyond Time (Number 2 I think?)



It feels a little like cheating posting from Atomic Robo. I'm mostly picking this one cause I'm sure it is a Back to the Future reference.

The X-line as a whole is quite possibly the best it's ever been. There is seriously not a bad book, and several great ones.

I'm sorry, but even putting aside my distaste for Bendis' work (All New and Uncanny), the new Uncanny X-Force is disliked by quite a few people. Mediocre and boring at best, dreadful in its nonsense and plots going nowhere.

The other X-Force book, though? Cable and his strike team? Never hear anyone talking about it, but I enjoy it a lot. It's like the best parts of the 90's in modern writing and good art. For similar reasons I ignored it as long as I did Scartlet Spider -- my mistake. Don't judge a book by its cover.

Uh, didn't realize I wasn't on the X-Men thread. Have some 80's Iron Man (#223):

Clearly he just crosses his eyes towards the red part and prays to God that his target isn't moving too much.

Yes, this is the professor showing off the honorable and great martial art of savate in Flight 714 to Sydney. His proficiency for savate is shared by popular super-villain Batroc the Leaper.
