The Best X-Man [chat]

BogartBogart Streetwise HerculesRegistered User, Moderator Mod Emeritus
We all know the X-Men are pretty nifty, but which is the best one? Who stands head and shoulders above the rest of the group that is hated and feared by humanity? The answer ... is Kitty Pryde. But you can vote for someone else if you really have to, I guess.


uxew0vl4wfsd.jpg

Shadowcat! Kitty Pryde! Now going by Kate, with tattooed knuckles, a bottle of whiskey in one hand, a sweet red coat, a pirate ship and a pet dragon. Obviously the coolest by miles and miles, she once called Professor Xavier a jerk, accurately. Now kissing ladies as well.


4sd7g7di75dq.jpg

Angel! Vampire with a soul, fighting the good fight in LA. Basically a eunuch, though.


pm03b8xzj9k9.jpg

Cyclops! Everyone says he's boring but when was the last time you had sex with Emma Frost? Well, OK, he's still pretty vanilla, I guess.


gaixdzewr2wq.jpg

Iceman! Good at volleyball, constantly shiny, gay. I picked the Val Kilmer pic as a joke but honestly if they'd been making an X-Men film in the eighties this is exactly who they would have cast.


23214vy56bfy.jpg

Professor Xavier! Sinister and untrustworthy, like all bald men, Xavier runs a school shaped toilet badly, using them as an outlet for his own suppressed desires.


69soh0c5lsan.jpg

Wolverine! Tried to find a picture of one looking daft, but in every picture they look like scrappy little maniacs, so kudos to the wolverine.


crsva041gnhz.jpg

Nightcrawler! Actually Nightcrawler is a totally reasonable vote. Blue fuzzy elf with a sword. Awesome.

    Not because he's the best X-Man but because you used a picture of an actual wolverine and they're stupidly cool animals.

    Also I saw one in my parents backyard (in the middle of a 300k city) because wolverines just don't give any fucks about anything because they're wolverines.

    I'm watching Elizabeth Zharoff review I Miss the Misery by Halestorm and it's eyebrow furrowing to me how accurately she's explaining why she likes Lzzy Hale's singing because how dare you have the musical knowledge to express in a coherent way why I generally love Halestorm.

    Also, his "Twin Sister" from Morrison's Run, the worst.

    I'm talking, worse than Spidey and his clone shit.

    X-Men have soo many comics and lore and, it's just to exhausting now.

    The name doesn't come up in the comics much, though

    the one you see in the victory shot there is a skeleton you can get called Rider who rides around on a bike and gets crit from going fast
    when you upgrade the skull one of his skills is that you just ride around on your ghostly flaming bike while a motorcade of the damned follows you around running over people. when the skill ends your bike flies into the air and explodes. when you swap in you also do a very short, quick ride with the same bike explosion.

    my other skull was the Skeleton Bomber, who is a skeleton carrying a bomb (wow who knew!!) who always explodes after 5 seconds and immediately swaps back to your other skull. Sometimes you can get a skill that upgrades the explosion damage in exchange for resetting the bomb timer, and as you get to legendary rarity the limit on the amount of times you can do this goes from 2 to no limit, but every time you hit the skill there's a chance it will fail and you will detonate. my other skill made the bomb go off immediately, ignoring the 5 second timer. At legendary the bomb creates a mushroom cloud and basically hits the entire screen.

    verdict: great build and synergy

    here is a vid of aforementioned build

    (Wasn't the whole Xorn fiasco from a Morrison run? edit: Because I'm talking about Xorn)

    Xorn was a brilliant character and probably the single best reveal of any X-Men comic ever. What they did immediately after Morrison's run with Xorn and Magneto was a fiasco.

    The real answer is I put him in the best supervillain [chat] so he had his moment in the sun.

    Speaking of comics they are doing Heroes Reborn again

    And it looks like they are just copying the cartoon version
    where Squadron Supreme has the reality gem and removed the Avengers

    well at least based on the art shown and Thanos is missing an Infinity Gem

    Logan was a good sendoff

    Logan and The Joker are studiously avoiding popping up on any streaming services.

    Also, I'm sure Amazon Prime had some stuff I wanted to watch but having ended up with a free trial of Prime from a gift card that I had to spend I'm finding it very slim pickings.

    I tried a few episodes of Star Trek The Lower Decks but it seems unsure what it is and so it's neither funny or interesting but maybe I'll skip to a later episode and see if it sorts itself out.

    I have an odd feel like I'm unwillingly accelerating towards the point where 99% of my posts are just quoting Honk and then just putting italics around "Honk"

    I should find this unfortunate but instead it's like I may have found my true calling in life.
