Since I assume it will come into play during this event now, did Nova's dad just disappear off panel or was it an on panel, but not seen by Sam thing?

Off panel. He's never been seen except in Sam having flashbacks to his childhood.

Yeah. I wouldn't be surprised if they went the Thor route of "well they are super advanced aliens with people have confused/accepted as Gods/Angels/Whatever".

Aren't the Asgardians supposed to be actual gods these days? Like, I know the whole super-advanced-aliens thing was their deal for a long long time and it apparently is in the movies, but I thought current comic Thor is a god.

Duh. The indestructible Nick Fury appears like a human cyclone like, all the time.

And yeah, at this point Old Nick is so unkillable it's ridiculous. He'll show up the minute a story demands him. Uatu's real dark secret is "poo poo, even I've lost track of where the actual Nick Fury is."

Didn't Fury burn off the last of the Infinity Formula in his system during his last appearance? Or it was...amplified or something, I don't know, I just remember there was a issue about his Infinity Formula.

There was something about that in Battle Scars but we don't talk about that because it's Battle Scars.

I just can't believe the Orb's involved with this. I mean, I get that his whole schtick is eyes, and apparently he was actually an interesting villain in Aaron's Ghost Rider, but the only thing I've seen him in was Aaron's Hulk and he was totally a gag villain that was there to get wailed on. It'd be like Paste Pot Pete enslaving Manhattan.

Also the hero working with them will be revealed to be Richard Rider. The reveal will be a splash panel of him yelling at Gamora "Did no one even loving look for me?"

I just realized something that really bothered me about this story is that Emma has her telepathy back when that's something she's not supposed to have post-AvX. DOPPELGANGER, SKRULL, or just Jason Aaron not bothering to keep up with X-titles? YOU DECIDE. (its the last one but it still just irks me)

Yes, Jason Aaron has not been keeping up with the X-Titles, especially the "Phoenix Five lost control of their powers" subplot, which started a year before he left two major X-titles and was the main plotter of a crossover directly involving his titles and the title with that character, not to mention being one of the main plotters of the original story which led to her being in this condition.

Oh yeeahhhh. Egg on my face then.

Someone remembered a panel from an old Bendis book that kind of foreshadowed today's events.

Huh, seeing as how that was set before Fear Itself, I figured it'd just be referencing Bucky's non-death there, but I guess this recent turn would explain everybody in the future hating him.


Also yeah, Fury's totally an LMD and Real Nick's the mastermind. Comedy option though: The now-dead Fury was the real one and he just didn't see anything when the eye-bomb went off because he's been playing puppetmaster in 616 so long he didn't really have anything left to uncover.

I wonder if there's any significance to the fact that they're all gamma-irradiated. Like, gamma specifically rather than just a vague "these bullets are radioactive". I don't really know Hulk's rogues gallery outside of Abomination, is there anybody even tangentially related to Banner who could be a sniper?

No matter how this all goes down, there's no way this doesn't end with Old Nick dead so Fury Jr. can be King Eyepatch in 616.

I do like his base full of LMDs because it reminds me of that level in Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2 where the base is Fury's secret hideout and it's populated by a bunch of Furys doing menial poo poo on computers in the background.

I think the only remote similarity between this story and VB is the character of The Orb. I mean, he's a guy with an eyeball for a head who is obsessed with stealing eyeballs. He definitely could've wandered right out of that show.

Other than that, yeah I don't see any similarities.

If it's been LMDs all the way down, what does that mean for Sam Jackson Fury in the comics?

No it's only usually LMDs all the way down. Real Nick's infinity formula only ran out recently, he could have fathered Fury Jr. before then.

But shhh, mentioning Fury Jr brings up Battle Scars, and no one wants that.

Did Fury Jr even appear in Original Sin? Seems odd that he wouldn't show up in a story that's meant to be the send off moment.

He's busy hanging around in Tony Stark's empty house waiting for the after-credits scene.

Of course, if Uatu were really ever down with the whole non-interference thing, he'd at least go and cloak his house and not just leave it sittin' there on the moon where anyone can just pop in and have a barbecue. poo poo, at least put your superweapons on Mars if you insist on not locking your doors/hiding, that'd at least put 'em somewhere where people would need a super-science ship to reach you.
