CapnAndy posted:I remember reading as a kid that there were three characters that literally everyone in the world knew -- Superman, Mickey Mouse, and I don't remember the third. Apparently if they'd had any contact at all with the rest of the world, there was simply no way to not know who those three characters were. It's an idea that comes up every once in a while. Kinky Friedman wrote a book titled "Elvis, Jesus, and Coca-Cola", on the idea that those were the three things everybody was aware of.

Sockser posted:What.... what did Blob want to ask him? Next page's not funny so I didn't post it, but basically he wants his girlfriend and their daughter to be brought there to live with him. Magneto's all "Nope, no humans allowed," so then Blob says "At least keep an eye on my kid, if it turns out she's a mutant too bring her back here." The kid, by the way, is Ultimate Liz Allan, A.K.A. Ultimate Firestar. Mikl fucked around with this message at 22:28 on Jul 15, 2014 |

If you're cyclops, it's probably more effort not shooting lasers. Which reminds me, how has cyclops not solved the world's energy problems with his INFINITE KINETIC ENERGY thing? Surely you could just have him stare at some kind of turbine all day?

John Dyne posted:I thought doing it too long drained him or something. No, Cyclops is never technically not shooting lasers. He's just immune to his own lasers and Ruby Qartz blocks/reflects it. I think some things have established the visor 'tricks his brain into thinking he's already firing' but there are enemies who used ruby quartz as a defense against Cyclops so...

CapnAndy posted:I've always wondered why Reed Richards isn't doing that. Just set up a room and have Cyclops come in and spend some goggles-off time, and when Scott has something else to do Storm can come in and zap the apparatus with lightning, or the Thing can pound on the walls for a while to work off stress, and so on, and so forth. He could even presumably build something into the goggles themselves, since presumably he's shooting stuff into them whenever he's not in the act of blinking, or asleep.

There was that one time (I think in the X-Factor "Fall of the Mutants" tie-in issues) where Cameron Hodge attacks him wearing this really dorky-looking Lego suit of ruby quartz armour.
