Dumb Sex-Parrot posted:what the flip is a morph?  back in the 60's, there was an x-men character called changeling (during the run of the comics that turned out to be so unpopular that the series was cancelled and they just started reprinting old stories with new numbers on the cover instead)he was a minor villain who appeared in 3 issues, and he and Blob and two guys that nobody remembers turned on their leader, Mutant Mastermind, when he turned out to actually be a space octopus that was trying to start world war 3 (watchmen stole this). changeling used his powers exactly once and everybody acted shocked that a character named "changeling" had the ability to change into other people, and then he disappeared and was not mentioned again because he wasn't important and nobody cared about him. later professor x died for the first time, and they went like two years with him dead before the writers decided they wanted to bring him back, and the way they did that was, he shows up, and everybody's like wtf, and he reveals that the him that died was actually changeling (remember? he got tricked by a space octopus back in 1967), who'd been dying of cancer and had come to professor x to ask for the chance to redeem himself at the end of his life (even though he didn't really do anything wrong except be tricked by an octopus?) by joining the x-men, and professor x was like "no, I'm a jerk. instead, secretly take my place and die nameless because I don't want to be bothered while I go prepare for an unrelated alien invasion." so when they started developing the x-men cartoon, the people making it wanted to establish the background of tragedy and lost comrades that sort of define part of the relationship the x-men have with each other and the world at large, so they decided to take a member of the x-men that had died shortly after his first appearance and move that story up in the timeline so they could include it in the cartoon series. and the character they picked was, of course, but, as production approached, the showrunners became uncomfortable with the idea of having exactly one native american character specifically just to kill him off, and they sure as hell weren't gonna have two, so they dug through the archives looking for another x-man who'd died and nobody cared about, and that was changeling... even though he was never actually on the team. so effectively what they came up with for the cartoon was an entirely new character who just shared powers and name with changeling. but then, whoops, in the intervening period between the character being killed off and the comic becoming relevant enough to get a cartoon, the Distinguished Competition had snatched up the trademark to the name "changeling" for their own shapeshifting comic book character,

redshirt posted: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. hiroshima pre-dated the adamantium skeleton, he only survived because he was well outside of the immediate blast radius. with nitro, his skeleton was fine and he regenerated from tissue that was shielded from the blast inside of his skull, so he grew back around it. that time with the sun he actually didn't burn too bad before he got out of there, because he mercy-killed jean and that re-awakened the phoenix force and she saved him, when horde killed him he was supercharged by the crystal of ultimate vision and basically had god powers for a minute if you're talking about that issue of venom, that was because daniel way is epic    ahh ooh owwww, the nuclear explosion, it almost burned my t-shirt off haha

counterfeitsaint posted:They should do the Fatal Attractions story. That's the only one I remember reading as it came out and there was no way they were ever doing it on the first xmen cartoon. thin blue whine posted: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 Smugworth posted:Remember when magneto ripped out wolverines adamantium in the comics

I remember I went to rewatch gargoyles like 10-15 years ago when a goon made a thread about it and I was so bummed out that it only went 3 seasons then I found out the second  season had 52 episodes and I don't think I even made it through like the first half of the second season. not that it was bad it was just a lot of loving show
