Remember that time Iceman got cock-blocked by the entire team?

Backstory: Infectia (think Poison Ivy... and yes, Bobby sees nothing strange about dating a woman named Infectia) is trying to seduce Bobby in order to mutate him with her kiss. X-Factor, knowing that woman having a sexual interest in Bobby could only be a villainous plot, set out to stop her.

I love this era of X-Factor, and yes I had this issue. It was pure fill-in, but fun nonetheless. And you're right about the name, you'd think she'd have bothered to use an alias or something, but Bobby was so desperate for a piece he apparently didn't care about the huge red flag waving in his face. Then again, she almost got Beast too if I recall correctly. Which if nothing else is a case in point for why having only one adult female on a team is a bad, bad idea.

Yup, definitely a higher point of X-Factor.

The repetition of the close-up on the lips is a neat trick. And this is just hilarious XD

I've seen that cover before...

I recognize this ship from an episode of the 90s X-Men cartoon! As I recall, it and Beast had kind of a thing going on.

1. The Simonson art makes this marginally more bearable.

2. So did anyone else look at the cover preview and wonder why Jubilee was flirting with Bobby?

2. Raises hand.

Yo.

[ashez2ashes.insanejournal.com]

*meekly raises hand too*

[ashtoreth.insanejournal.com]

I didn't before you mentioned it. :(

[salad_barbarian.insanejournal.com]

Yep, I saw it too.

[kagome654.insanejournal.com]

Yeah. I was kind of creeped out.

[vignettelante.insanejournal.com]

...now I can't /not/ see it.

[kitty_tc_69.insanejournal.com]

I'm pretty sure Jubilee didn't exist as a character yet, unless I'm getting my dates mixed up. Jubilee definitely didn't come in until after Inferno, and I'm pretty sure the Infectia issue is pre-Inferno.

Can anyone confirm this?

2. Is it flirting if you've chained someone to a wall and stripped down to your skivvies? I think I may have been doing it wrong.

[cmdr_zoom.insanejournal.com]

For characters who are or ever have been written by Claremont? Pretty much.

[psychop_rex.insanejournal.com]

OK, the bit where Infectia skids off the repulsion field is hilarious. It reminded me of something from 'Zits' involving Sarah Toomey wearing too much lip gloss.
