I really like Injustice Harley. Not just that scene, but her characterization as a broken person trying really hard to be better.

She may be the best version of the character, honestly. It always makes me smile when I see the Injustice 2 version with the bat symbol on her jacket. Mostly because, Red Hood idiocy aside, that symbol means something, and Bruce wouldn't let her wear it if he didn't believe in her. So it symbolises both how far she's come, how hard she's worked to process and live with her trauma, and also says a lot about the Injustice-verse Batman and how much he DOES believe in redemption.

I like her chemistry with Ollie. Boy, I sure am glad that Green Arrow lives to the very end of the comic book series!

Two things; did someone fix Xavier's back again? And while I'm 100% in favor of more superheros adopting Lord Humongous' fashion line, I have to admit the forehead belt is puzzling to me.

it's not a recent comic so normally you'd just assume that it happened during one of the many periods where xavier could walk

She seemed to phase out of her clothes on a regular basis when Claremont was writing. And was also the occasional victim of vore.

They should have left off the mid-chest horizontal strap and then they'd have a new X-branded uniform. Semi-related (crap image, I have a better one but I know not where) Entirely unrelated but gently caress it I found it again and it deserves to be reposted.

Every time I think about the Juggernaut, I think of what he looked like in his first appearance or two vs what he turned into in the 90s. Skinny dude who had armor into the Hulk on steroids with a bodysuit.

They really only changed how muscular his arms were drawn - he was big in his first appearances. One might say, too big for his britches.

I'm pretty sure that the Juggernaut and the Destroyer debuted the same month. Probably the two most popular unstoppable punch machines.

The Summers include siblings from explicitly contradictory timelines and sometimes alternate versions of the same person at the same time. What's the extra axis mathematicians use to describe stuff that's more than 3 dimensional? That's what the Summers/Grey need.

I imagine the Summer's family tree is like Charles II of Spain's, but with time travel instead of inbreeding.

Keromaru5 posted:Don't forget the Richards are involved, too, via Hyperstorm: son of Franklin Richards and Rachel Summers from an alternate future. And that has to be a different Rachel Summers than the one that's hanging around in 616. But Adult Franklin is a reality manipulator on par with any of the other ones, so that just gets way too confusing.

Where did all the Summers goofiness start? At face value, Cyclops and his power and personality do not seem to warrant such confusing timelines and family stuff at all. I remember even in the X-men cartoon, Mr. Sinister especially wants Summers DNA for some reason.

I think a combination of space pirate father and once Jean started coming back from the dead regularly, most of the wackiness started with her death and Madeline Pryor showing up looking like a clone of Jean and then you started to get a whole bunch of time-lost kids like Rachel as Phoenix in Excalibur, and Cable and Stryfe. At that point there's so many clones and time travel and poo poo happening that future writers just took that ball and ran with it. The Summers tree would not be what it is if Jean wasn't involved. Cyclops himself is kind of incidental to the whole thing.

Inferno is probably the boiling point, since that's where Mr. Sinister gets involved on both sides of the family tree.

I feel like it's mentioned somewhere, maybe in Excalibur, that Rachel Summers is unique across all timelines. There's only ever one Rachel Summers/Grey/Grey-Summers.
