Anyone know why this “❌” appears on Apocalypse’s door to his Lazarus chamber?
The best there is, the best there was, and the best there ever will be! Oops, wrong Canadian!
I made this post for everyone but Jitter because she's the only one with straight forward powers imo.
So
Deathdream is Danny Phantom can switch between a living form and a ghost form where he can control ghosts and turn into a smoke monster that's super strong appearantly. But he also looses control of himself when he goes smoke monster sometimes for some reason.
At first I thought Ransom's powers were purely physical, like a matter based version of how Shaw can absorb energy to become super strong. But then he "exploded" in issue 5#. I'm actually not sure what he did, but he ate some swords through his chest -> he "blasted" back 5 dudes while glowing purple?
And then we have Calico. Out of all the Outsiders, I feel like she's the only one where I have zero idea how her powers work or what they even are: she's a horse wisperer, but she can also create that weird armor around herself (and her horse). Is the armor magic? Is it supposed to be like Hisako's powers?? And then I thought she had to have her horse to use her powers, but then she tried to use them when she was alone??? Also, does she need to call her transformations, or is she just showing off? Did she literally summon the powers of Juggs for herself (+ horse) or was she just imitating him? Im confused
Here’s a sneak peak of an unfinished page from my fan comic “wonders of the white hot heart” :) you can see some other parts of it on my page
Haven't read anything involving Karma since her leaving the team in New Mutants, but I'm aware she shows up in the Wolverine solo. What's Exodus referring to?
Arthur Adams art, Linda Medley colors! Growing up i had this poster on my wall, and i had Mike zecks wolverine vs captain America
Scott: and that, Nathan, is how I met your mother.
Who else is on board with exterminating all of them?
I’m reading the original X-Men series run where they escape the Brood homeworld right now.
These guys are the evilest alien race I have ever seen in marvel comics that I can remember right now.
I made my X-men art into photocards!
It’s a 2000AD title apparently about mutants but not really sure what it’s about but I keep seeing it get compared to x-men.
I've had this idea for a while, but I think there should be at least 4 X-teams running around.
New X-Men (movie 1): Cyclops, Phoenix, Storm, Wolverine, Nightcrawler, Rogue, Shadowcat, Psylocke (Betsy+Kwannon). Beast and Forge are supporting characters in the lab. Gambit cameos.
Then Scott decides to split them into four teams to divide each other's tasks.
The Uncanny X-Men: Storm, Psylocke, Nightcrawler, Rogue, Gambit, Forge, Shadowcat, Glob (the team needs more mutants who can't pass as human and everybody loves Glob!). They're the team handling social issues, hated by the populace at large (think Mutant Massacre era).
X-Factor: Cyclops, Phoenix, Beast, Iceman, Archangel. Prodigy, Reyes cameo at the facility. The O5 disguise themselves as mutant hunters, X-Factor is seen as de factoheroes.
X-Force: Wolverine, Deadpool, Warpath, Domino, M, Manifold. Sage and Trinary serve as their computer whiz. Black ops team in charge of tasks the populace at large should never be aware of.
New Mutants: Mirage, Karma, Cannonball, Sunspot, Wolfsbane, Magik. Teenage team dealing with teenage drama and the like.
I think making Scott, Ororo and Logan the leaders of their respective teams would give each one of them their chance to shine, while also giving other mutants more to do, without being confined to one (1) team movie's lineup, like the fox movies.
Somebody needs to tell Robert Drake and Quentin Quire that they are OMEGA LEVEL MUTANTS. Meanwhile, Ororo and Jean are becoming gods, traveling the galaxy, starting foundations, saving the planet, defeating nimrod, saving the mutant race, and doing something with themselves. Just lazy. I'm sick of it.
I'm currently reading late 80s X-Men/New Mutants/X-Factor stories and it surprises me there are still some scenes in which regular human people are shown not believing mutants are real, and that they are just a rumor or something invented by the media. How is this still possible after years and years of mutant superheroes on activity - even in the Avengers -, and when do these kinds of comments stop being a thing?
I know Ultimate Firestar looks much more different (And yeah, Angelica isn’t canon in my narrative) but I drew a 616-inspired version of Ultimate Firestar anyway as per a request from a close friend.
My ideas so far:
1: Rogue and Gambit. Their powers are both touch activated. If they were to have a kid, and said kid has all of Rogue's control while also possessing Gambit's abilities, they essentially get a Midas touch. Except, y'know, instead of turning things into gold, everything they touch turns into a warhead.
2: Glob and Sunspot. I don't think i need to explain why thermokinesis combined with a wax body is a bad idea.
3: Jubilee and Dazzler: With how much sound Jubilee's fireworks would produce (I suppose you could debate wether or not someone with both of their powers could absorb that sound, seeing how Dazzler cannot absorb sounds she makes with her own body, but she isn't technically doing that here) and how much light Dazzler makes, this could quickly turn into a total disaster.
