How many F4 villains are rulers of sovereign nations? Moley Doom Namor etc....

Annihilus tends to be the ruler of an entire zone.

Negative.

To be fair, Namor was a ruler before he ever met the Fantastic Four. He just fit perfectly into their narrative.

Turning Namor into a villain was a genius move by Lee and Kirby.

I don't know if you can really call him a bad guy, all he wanted to do was to go to war with the surface world, be best friends with Doctor Doom, and bang Susan Storm.

He tried to pursue legal action first but the surface world's primitive lethal system just didn't cooperate.

Trolling Link for a decade


Tyrannus will divert the minister somehow, then shows up disguised as the minister. Then just as he's about to reveal himself and spoil the wedding, Kala shows up and says 'I thought you'd try something like this' and she shames him into actually marrying the couple by threatening to take away his fountain of youth.

After the happy ceremony, Molesy and May head off into the sunset while Kala batters Tyrannus three stooges style with a rolling pin.

It would be covered under an entirely different licensing contracts to the film stuff, so it would never come up. They basically have access to the comics catalogue.

Whedon didn't ruin cyclops, the phoenix 5 and that dumb loving X face outfit ruined cyclops. Then he died so now there's only time displacement cyclops which I do not have strong feelings about.

If writers had actually followed through on the "solving his dumb psychological power block" plotline going forward, he might have had some interesting character development. But, nope!

Cyclops the X-terrorist was a natural progression of trying to change the character from Leonardo to Raphael. You can't have the leader be the one who doesn't care about the rules and is a gritty badass.

Whedon undid that in the storyline he introduced it in.

That did not happen until after this storyline. He's very much a Leonardo during the breakworld arc.

Lurdiak posted:

Debateable - he's seen putting the visor back on because it's "difficult to hold it in", but then the fact that he is able to stop optic blasting at all was ignored and forgotten.

That's some primo chekhov's gun material, but instead he gets possessed by 1/5 of a cosmic bird and loses his bladder control completely

I remember when Cyclops and White Queen were first made a couple it felt so weird, but it's been at least a decade they've been together now, right? Well, apart from the whole Scott being dead now thing. A lot of people probably grew up never knowing anything BUT that relationship between them.

Closer to 15 years really. I grew up with Jean/Scott and I'm still a diehard fan of Emma/Scott. It's such a good dynamic, and Emma Frost is top 5 X-men GOAT and I will fight you on that.
