VV There was another story where his whole priest training g and ordination was a hypnotic false memory.

He descovers it when he is sat at a table and just let's everyone know "Well, I've given up being a priest and renounced the whole thing." - Casual as poo poo - and everyone else is shocked that he was a priest in the first place.

That was the same story I think. It was all a sham for some reason even though their intention was making him pope down the line. I think the whole arc might have been written just to de-priest him.

Nightcrawler's an ordained minister? When did that happen?

Mike Carey's run, IIRC. The one everyone forgets because it was concurrent with Morrison's New X-Men. Then Chuck Austen came along, and, well...

EDIT: Nope, I'm wrong; Joe Casey. Mike Carey's run was later.

One thing I do know is that when Nightcrawler's priest career crumbled, he could always go back upon his lucrative career of making plushies.

It's a(n oversized) coupe glass. The actual problem is that he's keeping a still red wine on ice, and serving it in a glass used for sparkling wines. Unless it's a subtle comment on the sophistication level of southern Germans...?

Even if so, it's just tacky as poo poo. You're not going to go in for multiple refills of an aperitif, so put the bottle away instead of keeping it on ice because you saw fancy people do that with a bottle of wine in a movie once.

Also, the huge glasses. Dude is planning to get his sister wrecked if that's anything stronger than red wine.

It's not that he didn't do the ~*proper~* thing; it's that he obviously cargo culted what he thinks sophistication looks like, instead of either doing it properly or just doing his own thing. Falling between two stools like that is just tacky as hell.

Later that night, they're taking a bath together when Nightcrawler is suddenly contacted by Professor X, who orders him to teleport outside and grab Angel's girlfriend, who's been attacked by Morlocks. Nightcrawler complies, dumping her directly into the tub with his adoptive sister/girlfriend.

Who wrote the story about Polaris being Magneto's daughter after all (after multiple previous stories established this was absolutely NOT the case)? Same guy, or was that Chuck Austen?

There have been several. Peter David wrote the most recent one, but Austen did one, too. Austen was also responsible for "The Draco" and the exploding communion wafers story. And the story where Angel and Husk have mid-air sex right above the X-Men and Husk's family.

Chuck Austen's run was terrible, is what I'm saying.

Between this, his X-Men run, that creepy Superman comic where a Kryptonian/Kryptonian-alike hosed a human woman to death, and Tripping the Rift I'm beginning to think Chuck Austen has a hosed up sexual psychology. Don't know, just getting a feeling.

From what I remember, he also had a nurse character(who was based off his own real life wife) fall in love with and rape the comatose body of Havok at one point.

Somebody tried to justify TDK3 to me by claiming that Frank didn't actually write TDK2, but he totally, for real was writing TDK3.

I asked how that explained ASBaR, and he walked away in a huff.

Frank Miller not actually writing TDKIII is basically the only thing that got me to check it out at all. I sometimes feel bad about my no Miller policy when it comes to stuff I hear is real good like his Daredevil but just knowing it'll be a Frank Miller story makes it hard to want to give it a chance.
