He's a Professor, but I'm not sure if his area of study is ever mentioned. To be fair, until recently, Xavier's schools have had more in common with a para-military training camp for child soldiers than anything remotely resembling education.

Yeah, he's always going on about how he is not training them to defend themselves and to fit in with humans, but it seems that there are only two career paths that you can get out of Xavier's school.

- A trained murderer
- Dead person

I mean, all their science wizards for example were that before they ever joined X-Men. poo poo, looking at how long say, Iceman has been there, he should be a certified nuclear physicist at this point. He certainly has had the time for that and few other PhD's.

I liked that Cyclops didn't try to dance around the fact in Utopia but *sigh*

Isn't it strange that at least a few of those Manatees would operate in the same way as the human versions? I don't see what would be much different about Martian Manhunter, Green Lantern, and Aqua-Manatee.

Manatees have a terrible imagination as showcased by their years of writing Family Guy, they would make an awful Green Lantern.

Metropolis is the healthiest city in America, what with Superman picking random pudgy people off the ground and cracking jokes about them.

Next time there's an asteroid coming towards Earth I should just toss your gigantic rear end at it, breaking it right into little pieces.

That's not Kirby's original idea. He didn't start talking about that until the 1970's. In the 60's stories which Kirby drew and was involved in plotting, Doom's face is definitely hideously scarred.

Here's an example of that, demonstrating Dr. Don Blake's excellent bedside manner:

Mojo is great. I love when he appears in Exiles and he's all "Nah, there's just only one Mojoverse."

I have a soft spot for him because I started reading comics when he was like the main villain (or when those comics made their way to Finland which was like ten years later). That was an weird era. Longshot. Spiral. X-Babies. :allears:

I always wondered what the hell Mr. Fantastic was doing with the ropes. Did the tangle himself into them accidentally? Did someone toss the ropes at him? Did the monster have rope? He doesn't even look tied up for that matter, more like someone lazily just wrapped it around him. Way to go, genius.

And let's be realistic, we all know what the most homaged cover is

Originally it was "Magneto is just powerful" but then I guess they had to start really specifically narrowing everyone's powers according to their mutation so that they could make characters more interesting than "the power to have all the X-Men powers!"

Early X-Men were hilarious. I wonder if Cyclops and the rest reminisce often about the times when EVERYONE was on acid ALL THE TIME.
