Hopeless' Cable and X-Force was quite good. I never thought I'd like Domino so much.

He said she was essentially foisted upon him by editorial against his wishes because they wanted more than just Cable on the team for continuity with the X-Force name. Now he's written a Secret Wars tie-in focused around her and Colossus plus a story in her Annual from last year.

Yvonmukluk posted:Yeah, I seem to recall Dan Slott fell back on that logic a fair bit, too. I wonder if Rosenberg's going to do the same thing. A lot of Rosenberg I've seen was 'man everybody liked X-Men Red what am I doing wrong?' and then being unwilling to take criticism (which is admittedly probably buried under a lot of typical internet comics hate).

The Question IRL posted:Also I just am not down with Teen Cable. I haven't read enough with him but I sort of want my old and busted Cable. That's one thing I really enjoyed about the aforementioned Cable and X-Force. Cable there really was this tired old soldier who was moving at about half-speed.

Parallax posted:think i mentioned this before, but reading through claremont's run there's a bit after jean's death where scott mentions difficulty communicating with a woman he likes because jean could always just read his mind and know what he actually meant. so nah, i think scott cheating on a telepath with another telepath who's more willing to delve deeper inside him is consistent with his established character He also had that weird sorta crush on Psylocke for a while, but I don't believe it ever went anywhere.

CubanMissile posted:I remember when Ghost Rider got infected with a brood and everyone poo poo their pants, and then I think Betsy just hit him with her psychic knife and it severed the link between the brood and Danny Ketch and it was just a big nothingburger. That was a weird time for Ghost Rider, too. Blackout had just torn out Danny's throat so he was stuck as Ghost Rider or else he'd, you know, die.

danbanana posted:As someone pointed out, he wasn't THAT serious during the Claremont stuff. I think his actions were but the character was always over-the-top. And that trends with what was supposed to be his origin: that he was a 12 year old mutant posing as what he thought a bad guy should look and act like. How long was he written as though he was the bogeyman for all intents and purposes? I feel like at least up through Inferno.

Fritzler posted:This is from memory but Exodus is a French dude from crusade era. He was friends with Black Knight of that era. He was trapped in stasis. Magneto freed him and he became Magneto’s number two guy. That made his previous number two, Fabian Cortez mad. He led the acolytes when Xavier mind wiped Magneto. He is pretty powerful and fought off the Avengers and X-men of the time together singlehandedly, till he was beat (maybe on the Astral plane?) by Xavier. I think somehow current Black Knight helped Xavier. Exodus was peak 'super powerful 90's mutant' which meant your eyes glowed, you had power blasts and could mostly do whatever you wanted.

BrianWilly posted:I have to wonder about Franklin. Is it actually confirmed that he has the X-gene? I suppose it'd be weird if Reed hasn't had it genetically-confirmed. Franklin has always been a mutant, as far as I know. And it was thanks to the cosmic rays, which I believe also made the birth hard for Sue.

DivineCoffeeBinge posted:Also.... no, Franklin's just about always been considered a mutant, dude. The fact that he wasn't wearing an X or anything never changed his mutanthood (the way Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch were explicitly made nonmutant). Like, this was a thing in the '80s when the Mutant Registration Act was a big thing in the comics: I've been trying to find the first time it went from 'Franklin has powers because his parents took a cosmic radiation bath' to 'he's a mutant' and without going through the issues and reading some 70's FF issues, but no luck. He absolutely has been a mutant as far back as I can remember, which does include the mid-80's Power Pack stuff. And that was funny because Reed did everything he could to shut down Franklin's powers and Franklin still could do the astral projecting while sleeping thing (hence the name Tattletale.)

If I remember right, Bryan Edward Hill is writing that which is a little funny as he's also writing DC Laura in Cassandra Cain over in Batman and the Outsiders.

Parallax posted:yeah it's kind of weird to throw all the Summers clan together as this one big, happy family. not that they don't deserve to be happy, but historically I think that hasn't been when they're with one another The rest of the issue I liked well enough and I'm not even really opposed to 'new status quo' but it was jarring to read that from the dude who was kinda reponsible for Inferno because he was a deadbeat dad.

Although that does explain where the Colossus/Callisto thing comes from.

Wanderer posted:I like the fight choreography for Kitty vs. the soldiers, although phasing a gun into two of them is one of the more borderline-lethal moves she's ever pulled. That did raise an eyebrow. The only time I can remember her phasing stuff into people or vice versa was, like, taking on the Hulk.

amigolupus posted:This is a pretty good post. My favorite version is headmaster Logan from Wolverine and the X-Men. Something about Logan taking his role as mentor to teenage sidekicks to the logical conclusion by taking up Xavier's role as the new guide and protector of young Mutants was really interesting to me. Plus him naming the school after Jean, one of the bravest and kindest person he's ever known, was pretty touching. It was also nice to see Kitty at the logical conclusion* from The Youngest X-Men to actually be the professor (who may or may not be a jerk). *Even if 'privateer captain for a mutant nation' is cooler.
