What's the odds of them doing the Dark Phoenix arc?

Exactly 0 because they already did it in the 90s show that this one is a sequel to.

Oh cool it's a sequel, I thought they were just remaking it.

Yeah, that's the reason why it's called X-Men '97, because it picks up right where the old cartoon ended in 1997.

I only read the comics in the 80s, I never saw the show. I was too cool in the 90's, man.

Question for the X-Men experts: In issue XXXX Wolverine was absolutely obliterated, but was able to eventually regenerate just from a small remainder of skin and blood. While I accept that as possible, how was the admantium regenerated to cover his skeleton? Since it's not natural to his body. Thanks.

the admantium was magnetically bound to the x-factor in wolverine’s dna. that’s why he survived the weapon x project, why it grew back, and why only magneto was able to truly separate wolverine from his unbreakable skeleton

From my many watches of X-Men Origins: Wolverine, this does not check out.

I once saw someone ask a serious question; "Who would win in a fight between Superman and Wolverine?"

It turned into a serious debate. I didn't involve myself but kept asking who was the sexiest comic book character. Somebody called Mr. Scolex said "It's me, I am." Apparently he wrote for independent comics. I looked at his profile pic. He wore his coat zipped up past his nose and was carrying a handpuppet around in public - Mr Garrison style.

Yahoo chatrooms, riveting stuff.

"Who would win in a fight" is one of the foundation discourses in comic book lore

Not a fan of this X-Men lineup. Feels real imbalanced. Got a couple of energy thrower types.

Where's the heavy hitter? Where's the slugger? Who's standing up to the various bad guy heavy hitters?

I question Xavier putting this lineup on the court.

I thought it, and Spider-Man, were pretty ugly shows at the time, but '97 looks quite nice.

I like X-Men, but the show put me off reading American comics because the serialised nature of everything gave me anxiety. I'm supposed to be here EVERY Saturday morning to get what's happening? That's hosed up - what if there's an emergency?

lol I'm not ready for that kind of heavy commitment!

Real talk in the X-Men cartoon thread:

When I was 12 or 13 I developed migraines which were 100% debilitating. Complete dizziness and nausea. Can't even stand up.

As a young kid these hit hard, at school, during marching band, etc. I became "the sick kid" and I didn't like it, but what could I do? Randomly this migraine would descend and I was debilitated.

I could read, as long as I stayed perfectly still. And so I read. I read and I read and I read.....

A lot of X-Men. Dark Phoenix real time story line, I was freaking enthralled.

I assumed these migraines were my mutant power manifesting, and I just had to power through the change till I was an awesome badass like Colossus.

It helped.

magneto isn't the master of metal okay he's the master of magnetism which includes the earth's magnetic field to which he can manipulate to some extent. i know no one cares about the explanation, including the comic book writers, but i've read nearly every x-men comic and it had to have all been for something so please allow me to explain

How can his mastery of electromagnetism result in washboard abs?

The whole 'master of magnetism' and him going to metal for his basic offense makes one forget that his power is not magnetism, it's ELECTROMAGNETISM. One of the four fundamental forces of the universe electromagnetism. With that, Magneto can control electrons. You know what has electrons? Everything.

Seriously, forget just magnetism and electrical power stuff. If he really can control electromagnetism fully, he could in theory 1) turn invisible (due to visible light being a type of electromagnetic radiation) 2) phase shift (electromagnetism is what keeps solid objects from passing through one another and thus he could deactivate this and walk through walls or go beyond that and become completely invincible) 3) unleash any kind of laser blasts at his foes (once again, light is electromagnetic radiation, as is everything on this chart, so that's also heat vision, x-ray vision, being his own radio and can scramble any others at his leisure, and producing microwaves, macrowaves, and the deadliest form of radiation on a whim), 4) Create optical illusions via, again, manipulation of light, 5) explicitly control half of physics, all of chemistry (which when boiled down is the study of protons, neutrons, and electrons), and most of biology (which is a combination of chemistry and physics), 6)manipulate valence electrons, in which he can force chemical reactions to occur that are normally impossible or make reactions that normally occur not happen, 7) Manipulate nervous systems to turn people into puppets or kill them by just turning the electrical impulses that govern nervous systems off, 8) Also hijack electronics via a similar method, 9) flash freeze or heat matter by imparting or taking away kinetic energy through protons and electrons 10) transmute anything into any other thing by rearranging particles at the subatomic level, 11) disintegrate anything larger than a nuclear, and there's yet more.

Basically, absolutely anything that can be done by natural means, Magneto can theoretically do. How does he fly? I could give you a list of ways.

Why don't you just join up with the Evil Mutants?
