    Cable sucks.

    It's just 20+ issues of Cable on the run with hope with Bishop chasing them hopping through time.

    What did you just say?

    I loved the Cable series, him hopping through time with Hope, killing bug men, shooting Bishop, getting shot by Bishop. It was good times.

    Because Cable is one of the top ten Marvel badasses and if you don't like him then you hate America. Why would you hate America? Why would you hate freedom?

    I'm British, we dislike freedom intensely. Especially if that means hoodies scrawling graffiti on the end terrace.

    Well, if they break into your apartment (or "flat," as you call it) and you catch them, just sit on them and wait for the cops until your roommate lets them stay on the terrace and they call for their other friends to bust them out and they call you clean shirt.

    After reading the Proteus arc of X-Men: Legacy, I'm wondering why Scott didn't just move all the mutants to Muir island and avoided all the problems they've had with Utopia. Yeah, it belongs to Scotland, but Canonball could have beat up William Wallace and then the X-Men would have been able to have adventures with MI-13 every month.

    That actually makes a lot of sense. And in the UK it's been established they like having a super hero team around to help out.

    I read this comic it was wonder full the Blade, Lyra, and Spider-Man are all characters that could be considered mutants in some sense, but I'm not sure about Elektra... she's had psychic tricks before, but I was never sure if she was just being cool or actually had some superhuman powers besides never staying dead.
    She did have some awesome powers in her equally awesome Jennifer Garner movie, though. I need to watch that again soon.i really wait to watch.

    She will go "I am the Pheonix" and start bitching and then use her power to kill alot of humans.
    And thus the mutants being locked up in camps future comes true.

    Probably before he was married. One thing we know about the Sentry is that he was crazy about Lindy. Literally.

    The uniforms they wear aren't the day-to-day outfits. Soldiers don't go to funerals dressed in fatigues.

    And superhero outfits are skintight and often display generous amounts of skin.

    But 99% of the time, the only thing most superheroes wear is their costume, unless they have a secret identity. This is usually because the artist can't make the characters recognizable without them, but we always see the X-Men and Avengers and everybody sitting around the hideout, eating pizza and watching TV in their combat suits.

    It turns out superheroes have been fighting in their pajamas this whole time and no one ever knew.

    They are so many ways to null one powers eg. like those neck braces they used in genosha and none of the writers are smart enough to let her use one so she can touch someone.

    That always bugged me as well...she could be de-powered in battle, but not everyday life?

    On an unrelated note, Rouge, Sentry and his wife have all the right players for a great episode of The Jerry Springer Show.

    So not only does she get Kurt killed, but now shes gone and got Telford(vanisher) killed.

    Hope can eat a wiener. I am a Hope atheist. She sucks and I am now officially a believer in Bishop.

    Also, just when I thought we would finally see the end of Sentry and all his terrible terrible stories and marvels feeble attempts to make him seem important they go and
    retcon him and rogue into being some kind of romance, virginity losing, terribleness.

    Hope and Sentry boooooooooooooo

    I'm a little surprised by the negative reaction, at least as it relates to Rogue's history of not touching people. Is the abstinence angst still central to her character? I thought she moved past that, just like Cyclops did with his ocular difficulties.

    I do get the annoyance about her being a notch on the bedpost, though. The bit about The Wrecker killing a bus of kids is the worst part about the story, though. You can't have shit like that happen without making the entire superhero conceit seem ridiculous.

    She would've probably forgotten thanks to his mass mindwipe. Besides it never says he's her first, just they they were together at some point.

    The point was that the loneliness was a huge part of her character at one point. It's like a character is a hero, and in a throwaway side story off panel it's mentioned offhandedly that he's tortured a couple of kids or something. It just doesn't work.

    Actually, it would be like you have a character who is powered by the sun and a magic drug, and then in one panel he is also somehow the angel of wrath, but it is never mentioned again.

    It makes no sense, has no real bearing on the story or the characters, and is only there for the "OOOH SENTRY IS TEH AWSOMEZRZ!!11!" suckoff factor.
