Armani posted:I remember a billion years ago reading a small one-off X-Men story about a girl who could manipulate the earth, like rocks and things. Would anyone remember her name and if she's appeared in other X-titles? I always thought her power was awesome. This is possibly Petra, from Brubaker's Deadly Genesis. She was part of Xavier's first team to go rescue the original X-Men from Krakoa, who all died.

For a while nobody knew, but they did know by at least Amazing Spider-Man Annual 3. (I think it's 3. The one where he tries to join the Avengers, and they tell him taking down the Hulk is his initiation.) Edit: They didn't know when he was on the team, if that's what you're asking.

The ROM thing is a good example of something that baffles me about fandom. There's no chance a new ROM book would be anything like the old ROM book. Neither of the original creators would be working on it, which you think would be the draw for people nostalgic about the old book. But apparently that doesn't matter; just having the property back gets them all excited. It's weird.

And to answer your other question, Magneto did it because Wolverine cut him. Why he didn't do that any of the other times they fought, I dunno; maybe he just got tired of Wolverine's poo poo.

All of this was, of course, an incredibly stupid and cynical thing to do with characters who were basically "assumed into heaven" at the end of the original Crisis. It's an excellent example of how Johns and Didio are only able to think on the most drearily literal terms about superheroes and superhero stories.

Wheat Loaf posted:Was "Only my ruby-quartz visor can contain my optic blasts!" one of Claremont's or was that used in the Silver Age too? Because it sounds like it should be a Claremontism. I don't recall when they started calling it "ruby-quartz", but I'm pretty sure citing the visor as the only thing that can hold back his optic blasts goes all the way back to Lee & Kirby. Thomas certainly milked it.

In answer to the question about good Avengers runs: I'd say the whole run through Englehart's departure somewhere in the 150s is pretty solid. Roger Stern and Kurt Busiek are also strong choices. Bendis I cannot speak for, but Hickman I have loved.

Anti-Monitor is evil for evil's sake, and you beat him by punching him really hard, and then he reveals his final form and you beat him again by punching him really hard. He is literally a Final Fantasy end boss.

CapnAndy posted:Adults in the 1950s were kids before comic books existed, so they did not have a habit to carry forward into adulthood, and very few adults look at the hot new trend among 10 year olds and go "yeah, I want to buy into that poo poo". Comic books got started in the mid-thirties. A kid who was ten when Action Comics #1 came out would be twenty right about the time the first superhero boom fizzled and crime/horror comics started coming into vogue. To say nothing of servicemen who read comics during the war and after because they got them in care packages. Adult comic book readers were a real thing in the early '50s. They were part of the reason companies like EC started doing material like they did. (Of course, kids read the EC books, too, because the truth is people of every age like a cheap, gory thrill.)

bobkatt013 posted:Captain America White. Issue 0 came out in 2008 and issue 1 is coming out later this year. The whole David/Nauck series of Young Justice is one of my favorite things ever, but for highlights, I guess I'd go with Sins of Youth and the buildup towards it, and the Our Worlds at War crossover and the aftermath. Issue 50 is really fun, too, as they recruit all the then-active teen heroes in the DC Universe and go invade a country. As to your second question, no.
