Doug Apologizes to Amara.

Greetings True Believers!

Here is a scene from New Mutants #9 that I liked. Shows a bit how Doug and his power-set are evolving. Spoilers and enjoy!

Amara and Doug run into each other and they have recovered from their wounds/battle damage/psych testing.







Clever and slick. What does everyone think of the Doug so far? Too vulcan? He seems to be angst-free so far.

BTW, Rahne will just shit when she finds out.

Snow Crash, beeotch! Maybe Doug's new codename should be Namshub.

[thanekos]

ah, the new features of Doug Ramsey version 4.45.1 are explained

CREEPY FLAME ON EYES AAAAAAAAAAAAGH

"Captain Marvel Playlist?"

Wonder if Rahne's ever gonna interact with the New Mutants cast, even though she's on the same God damn island now!

Ugh...hate X-Force.

Intriguing, so now Doug not only knows how to say things, but WHAT to say to get a desired outcome.

Should also make telling his parents he's back easier...

I hope he retains at least a little of his "ordinary person" personality, though it would appear not.

I'm in my happy place!

(only a few more hours and this will be in my hands, too. yay!)

I don't really see this version of Doug as being "too Vulcan". He seems to have more of a Zen calm about him, kind of like Shang Chi.

I've seen this take on Doug's power in way too many fanfics, and the writers inevitably forget that one of the things that made Doug stand out on the NM team was that his power was exceedingly useful given certain situations, but not that powerful. Tweaking Doug's powers too much loses a lot of what made him endearing, IMO, and I was rather hoping he'd get semi-powered down after the TO virus was overwritten. I'm a little wary, but I don't find the path Wells has taken to get here illogical and he's still got copious goodwill with me for his Doug/Warlock interactions so far, so let's see where this goes.

I've never even heard of the New Mutants until very recently, but Cypher's powers do sound like they'd make for some interesting stories. :)

[pyrotwilight]

This kinda makes me scared of Cypher. He can pretty much figure out how to talk anyone into do anything from how this is shown and he sounds more robotic than human.

[autumn_lily]

Is it just me or is there something Steve Tylerish going on with Doug's mouth in a couple panels?

[shadowpsykie]

im curious, they explained who Illyana and her plan was didn't they? sooo which Illyana is she?

[tsunamiwombat]

I was expecting him to kiss her...

[kusonaga]

Am I the only that thought they were just going to make out? Something I wouldn't mind seeing, for the record. Doug/Amara OTP?

[salamangkiero]

I totally called this. He's like a mutant version of a type of literary criticism, where *everything* is text, something to be read. In another line of thinking, if you study a person long enough, or a mechanism or sequence of events or activity long enough, you can find the pattern, and thus "translate" and predict the next action, or at least profile it.
