Shogun Warriors and Micronauts.

They're missing some other good ones like the Transformers but poo poo they probably would need to actually call a lawyer just to put a Transformers logo with lines drawn all over it.

Not that this makes it ok in the slightest but they weren't raised together and aren't related by blood at all right? I can never keep that particular bit of continuity straight from universe to universe.

How can you be brother/sister if you aren't blood related or raised together?

My understanding is that Nightcrawler was given up for adoption at an early age (to the circus or some priest iirc), while Rogue was a foster/adopted daughter who was actually raised by Mystique. I've never actually bothered to untangle all the Claremont necessary to know how it went down in 616 and instead am going off of stuff in other continuities like the 90s cartoon and X-Men: Evolution, so I'm still not sure if they knew each other growing up.

I suspect Bendis came up with that joke before they announced the Squirrel Girl ongoing, because I could almost see them doing that. If nothing else, I would be shocked if North and Henderson don't do a guest appearance/crossover with Rocket.

And that Power Pack one is barely a joke. Wasn't there an actual pitch for a MAX Power Pack series?

Wait, didn't Morlun try to eat spiderman years ago and it turned out he was rancid or something because of his radioactive blood?

Also, didn't he die like right after that? I think that was the first time we saw the spider spike things that haven't really been seen since.

Morlun was also a sort of mystic eater-of-animal-totems, who was perfectly happy noshing on some eagle-themed superhero from Germany, but now Slott's decided it's all spiders all the time for some weird reason.

As much as I'd been looking forward to a return to the "spider totem" stuff, it's not been handled in the best way so far. Slott's got a very energetic and haphazard style which can provide for some interesting stories, but it doesn't mesh well with the slow and patient build-up stuff that Waid was doing with Evolve or Die.

What was worse though was that the moment she got made pretty her entire personality immediately changed to her being really nice and pleasant to everybody and also a little timid. The message was HORRIBLE, so bad that I actually thought it was building to something where her mind had been altered and she would reject it and her "good looks" to be true to herself.... but nope, pretty people are just superior in every respect and genuinely better people than ugly ones!

Tattoo guy is Ink, a fairly recent character who is not a mutant but gets his powers from a mutant tattoo artist than can give other people powers using tattoos.

Didn't he show up in a Marvel movie or Agents of Shield or something? I remember a short scene with some guy using tattoo powers that was never mentioned again in whatever episode/movie it was.

edit: I think he had a bio-hazard tattoo that made people sick and/or die.

The first time was some Skrull machine that made her "pretty", and also completely rewrote her personality. It was such a gigantic shift that I was positive it was going to come up at some point that the Skrull device had brainwashed her in some way to be docile because otherwise it would be a stupid and terrible message to put out. Nobody ever questioned her change though, outside of saying how happy they were that she was finally being "nice".

Dare we entertain the possibility they will do weird goofy crossover stuff with Star Wars?
