Oh, I do not doubt that there are ways for the X-Men to legally teach at their school. I was more commenting on how next generation mutants wont be able to solve simple math problems because all their teachers know about is Transdimensional Transportation and Stabbing 101.

Is it government policy to let a dude run a school for children in what is basically a war zone? I would have shut the place down, like, the third time it got leveled.

At least in that case you can assume they're being accredited offscreen and we aren't seeing it because it's boring minutiae compared to their adventures, it's not like you need multiple PhDs to teach kids. And do private schools even need formal qualification for their instructors?

Did Havok ever manage to get his geology PhD?

What insane parent would let their child go to the Professor Xavier School for Child Soldiery? Does post-traumatic stress disorder and an enduring fear of magnets look really good on a college application?

According to the Marvel Comics Database, no. Also, in a vacuum that question sounds like a Seanbaby riff.

I dont know about the US, but in the UK private (paid for) school teachers dont actually need a teaching qualification. If you want to work in a public school you need a qualification, but private schools can hire anyone they like as long as they can pass a criminal record check.

pass a criminal record check :colbert:

Has anyone done a story where the sheer amount of asteroid bases, space-stations, orbiting doom-lasers and misc. portals just all crash into each other one day Kessler Syndrome-style? Because it has to be a risk at this point.

Well obviously it should then be about one of the lesser known departments of SHIELD, namely cleanup duty. Because someone has to go out there and deal with all those things and it sure aint the heroes because they're too busy being heroes so that job falls to average Joes at the SHIELD Clean up - Exosphere department.

Bobby Drake the Iceman teaches maths and used to be an accountant, which is kind of hosed up IMHO. Also I think Gambit taught sex ed, which should definitely be illegal.

I would totally read a SHIELD Gravity special featuring decades of supervillain doomsday devices going off in LEO after the Red Skull spills coffee on his old Nazi space station V3 console or something.

The Xavier School for the Gifted has an almost 99% employment rate for it's graduates, as teachers for the The Xavier School for the Gifted.

Remember when Kitty Pryde was a successful business woman who ran for the Senate? Then Whedon couldn't get an erection with out her on the team so she became another sad loser hanging out at a school she graduated from a decade ago?

Whedon also apparently thought she'd been a virgin for this entire time, all the better for him to write a big dramatic sex scene involving her.

Ok, he didn't actually have an explicit sex scene in there, but she basically took her clothes off and gave Colossus a speech about living life to the fullest, then it cut to the bedroom curtains. It felt a little self-indulgent.

Nah, the anatomy is still buggered. For a start his left arm would have to be made of rubber or it broke as well, also his body should be on Walter's right side from the momentum of the grab and the punch. It's just a bit of bad art.

Hey, look. Look, if- if you screw me on this, I shall become more powerful than you can possibly imagine, you rat bastard!
I'm just taking it as such a powerful punch combined with his arm getting pulled in from about 2 feet in front of the one guy's front to right into his right hip that it's a combo of being hit and being pulled-spun by the arm at the same time making him rotate hard.

I think he grabbed his other hand when he punched him, but that's not well-communicated. Meanwhile he punched him so hard he snapped his spine clean off in several places and shattered his rib cage. I yellow card this post as needing to go in the funny panels thread instead (if for nothing else than to save the thread from Sonic fanboys).

No. It's the same hand. The body spun around 180 degrees. His front is towards the camera. Judge by the free hand.
The arm being bent back and the cross flipping around make it confusing. Did ancient robes ever have front shirt pockets? That would've been useful.
