    I kind of hope that someone like Kitty or Storm or Beast calls up Havok and yells his ear off next issue.

    Interesting to see various different internal reactions from mutants against oppression

    very Marvel style, that

    Oh wait, flatscan reminds me of Guido sticking his foot in his mouth and making things worse:

    Alex didn't like that new phrase.

    What the hell everyone was all like "wow awesome moment of the week best thing I've seen from mutants for a long time sums up everything wrong with cyclops," and now look at you all. Turning on havok. Did he not have enough concentric circles for you.

    I really, really think that article is below their usual standard

    I've got into this argument a lot on the internet and if anyone wants to get into it them sure

    but I do feel that people are being very poor at understanding that people feel different about words and terms and labels and Havok disliking being called a mutant is hardly something that doesn't track into the real world.

    Yeah, Alex is speaking his own views that he has learned through his time with X Factor and Xavier and after the events of AvX.

    He ain't speaking for every mutant out there. Uncanny X-Men exists for that reason. Scott probably wants to punch Alex in the head for saying that on nati onal tv. And I can't imagine Beast would be ecstatic either.

    I'm with the new cyclops. He's like magneto except all he's doing is rescuing mutants from oppression. I can get behind that.

    I want to apologize for the inflammatory comments I made on Twitter a few nights ago. I was stung by an accusation made about a character — i.e., that the point of view expressed by a fictional character in a book I write revealing me to be a racist. It was late at night, my feelings were hurt, and I lashed out in anger without thinking things through. I’m deeply sorry for my unfortunate choice of words and any offense taken to them.

    i'm super mad that he's the one apologizing when it's the other side on twitter that was being terrible people

    Well he's not apologizing about what Alex said, just for being unprofessional and pretty rude on Twitter. Which he was.

    Whatever the other people said I think its fair to apologize for telling people to drown in hobo piss.

    Yeah Remender needed to take the high road here, and not all the people being critical of him on twitter were being assholes. Let's hope he can defend his work with more class in the future, he's too good a writer to resort to petty insults.

    I'M NOT FINISHED WITH YOU!!!

    So I found out after that post that he said much more inflammatory stuff after I quit following it all the other night.

    So you know, let me find somewhere to put this foot

    Man after reading the page that they're up in arms about I'm even more angry. "Don't call me a mutant see me as a person" that is a completely acceptable point of view to have. Everyone needs to chill out.

    Regardless, telling fans to drown in hobo piss is not cool.

    I think that Remender probably got rather distressed over the response and reacted poorly at the time

    which is understandable, if not excuseable

    and now cooler heads have prevailed and Remender has apologized, as is only right

    Comics Alliance should apologize for that article as well

    Between Cyclops, Vulcan, and Havok it is clear that Havok is the inferior Summers boy.

    Things Havok has going for him:
    1) Best classic costume
    2) Lorna Dane
    3) Once blew up Storm while she was being kidnapped by an insane robotic nanny

    To be fair, telling someone to drown in hobo piss, is just how Rick Remender says hello.

    I dunno, I feel like the smart play, is always to say that just because the character said it, doesn't mean it's true, or right.

    It is the smart play but you'd probably also get called up on that. They'd get all meta on you and give it a post modern reading "yeah but the artist constructs the text so everything the 'good' characters say is a reflection of the artists intent."

    Liberal Arts majors... You don't want to mess with them.
