I haven't kept up with X-comics in a while, is Iceman permanently in ice-mode now or something? Seems like every panel posted he's always iced up.
It hasn't been addressed directly (at least not in WATM, but maybe in one of the other books I don't read?), but that seems to be the case.

Every version of Cap would have been revived post-Cold War at this point. The 616 sliding timeline puts his revival right around the late 90s or early 2000s.

I think it happened after I stopped actively reading, but they decided to make Polaris Magneto's daughter after decades of quite deliberately showing that she was NOT in any way his daughter (including having blood/DNA tests done), right?
Yep. It was some Austen bullshit.

Edge & Christian posted:

It doesn't make it any less weird to look at now., but they did not establish that Wanda and Pietro were Magneto's children until several years later. So at the time that comic produced, it was just Magneto punishing a runaway member of his Brotherhood, not his daughter.

Which is still creepy.
Yeah, it's pretty weird and creepy, but even after the revelation, they made it clear that neither of them had known their relation prior to that.

Well they did have that one page where they describe Richards and Stark as the Explorer Supreme and Engineer Supreme respectively...

I can't account for Reed, but that really is the best description of Stark. He's an engineer, not a scientist. Waid is saying basically the same thing in Indestructible Hulk right now, so it wasn't actually the worst idea Slott had.

I can't tell if Spider-Man is joking or if this is uhh, the "Superior" Spider-Man if you get my spoilery drift.
Considering it was spoiled like three posts up, I don't think you need to be subtle. But yes, that is Superior Spider-Man.

Honestly, I wouldn't be surprised if Immonen was channeling Davis a bit. He's an incredibly varied artist when he wants to be.

Less concerning than the fact that Val wants to use nukes to power a time machine is the fact that apparently the FF have nukes just lying around the place where children can mess with them. Y'know, in the Baxter Building, which only comes under attack every other Friday.
They don't necessarily have nukes just sitting around. Val can probably build one while watching Saturday cartoons without much trouble.

From what I've heard from a local comic store owner, the only time comic movies ever lead to significantly higher sales is if it's a stand alone story like Watchmen or V for Vendetta.

Generally, there's a bumpin collection sales around a movie, but that's about it.

There was a short story in some special a while back where Forge was trapped in a giant fortress full of strange broken machines and some murderous pink blob that was trying to eat him. He had to repair the machines in order to defeat the blob and escape and then it all turned out to be a hallucination where he was really just fixing his brain.
That was in the Marvel Now teaser book and a teaser for this series.
