That's not a limitation of the time, that's Liefeld being a garbage artist.

It's better than what he someone similar would do, which is just put in a gradient.

As for "Shatty don't" guy, the rest of the males on the team were Cannonball, Rictor, and Sunspot, but that guy looks way bigger than any of them (and doesn't like nigh-invulnerable when he's blastin'). It might be Cable and the letterer put the bubble's tail going to the wrong person.

But it can't be Cable because Cable told him to kill Masque so the real answer is "the 90's". Most of the team is missing in that last panel, too. That might be Domino crouching down but theres no Wolfsbane or Sunspot or anyone so maybe it was some dumb crossover.

THEY'RE NOT PIECES OF MEAT :negative:

As E&C talked about above, this version of the OHOTMU was at least intended to be used as reference guides for the characters in it. So obviously they have to show off their butts so artists know how their costume looks in the butt area.

As far as fat fetish poo poo goes, Claremont has nothing on the comic strip "Rose is Rose" from 10 or so years ago. It seems to have largely stopped doing it in more recent strips, but for a long time, there was an ongoing bit about how the dad would try to feed Rose to make her fat, and would show his dream fat version of her.

http://cartoonfatness.wikia.com/wiki/Rose_Is_Rose

Also, there was another teleporting robot, Eleven that showed up in, I believe, the first Cable ongoing in some of the future bits. It *might* have been in X-Force, but these seem to have story right up to about X-Cutioner's Song, so it would be probably concurrent to when this was being published, since that ongoing came out when Cable returned from being marooned in the timestream with Stryfe.

"Rendered Xavier a cripple" is some really awkward phrasing.

Anyway, off the top of my head, Xavier has been crippled by:

Lucifer
Shadow King
Stryfe/Apocalypse*
Magneto**

*He was able to walk briefly as a result of being infected by Stryfe with a TO virus which Apocalypse cured. He used his time to rollerblade with Jubilee

**Magneto "fixed" him as Xorn by dumping a bunch of nanosentinels in his body. He then removed them after revealing he was Magneto*** all along!

***Actually he was Xorn**** pretending to be Magneto to be Xorn*****

****The evil Xorn

*****The evil Xorn's good brother Xorn

At one point around the start of New Mutants he was taken over by a Brood, killed and then the Starjammers built him a new body and then he could walk for awhile but would randomly fall over screaming in pain.

I forget what put him back him in the chair that time.
That was the Shadow King one. He broke his back in ~the astral plane~ during the Muir Island Saga and it also broke it in the physical plane.

Wheat Loaf posted:

Remember how in early X-Men, Professor X was (like everyone else in the cast possibly including Bobby) secretly in love with Jean Grey and had all this internal angst over, "How could she ever love... a cripple?!" Strange times.
I think this is some common Marvel angst since Donald Blake did the same thing with Jane Foster. Because, really, how could any woman love a man who has to use a walking stick?
