Cyclops has many plans...

[proteus_lives]

Greetings True Believers!

Juggernaut/Kuurth Breaker of Stone is stomping his way to Utopia.

He must be stopped.

Easier said then done.

Enjoy!










I like the teamwork and plans. Hate the art.

See, this is why nobody fucks with the Cyclops.

Also: Rockslide is never not awesome.

[shadowpsykie]

yep cyclops is a great strategist: last issue

Cyclops: Okay time for plan two.

Mayor: Don't you mean B?

Cyclops: that would imply I only have 26 plans.

[joasakura]

I love how excited rockslide is about blowing up.

[arilou_skiff]

Amen to that.

[proteus_lives]

Putting Cyclops in as the master-planner is one my favorite bits from the last five years of X.

[nightauditguy]

I thought Adam X was dead or was he brought back by Selene?

[crinos]

Well they ARE mutants. for the average X person Death is just a firm suggestion.

[valtyr]

At this point it might be simpler to move Utopia.

Also, Magneto, do not be in between.

[shadowpsykie]

Also, Magneto, do not be in between.

bwaahahahah i only just saw that....

[auggie18]

...wait, why isn't Pixie's teleportation thing working on him? Does he have some sort of Asgardian anti-teleportation mumbo jumbo protecting him?

[shadowpsykie]

isn't one of Mjornr's abilities to teleport Thor?

[espanolbot]

Heh, Pixie being refered to as Scott's personal transport makes me think he's riding around on her back or something.

[shadowpsykie]

Scott: Weeeeeee!
Pixie: You know... I can just you teleport you where you stand....
Scott:..... WEEEEEEEEE!

[glimmung]

The Siryn/Dazzler combo is pretty brilliant. Has that ever been done before?

[long_silence]

I think He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named did the combo in 2009 in Wolverine First Class.

[long_silence]

Siryn/Dazzler team ups are always run.

And it's really cool seeing all of the underused X-men actually showing up and using their powers for once. The X-men have been this huge mutant army living on an island together for years now and we still almost never see some of these characters do anything. But I really could have done without seeing a liquid metal orgasm face.

lol Adam X.

[shadowpsykie]

lol Adam X.

I can just image the reactions


X-Men: Yay he's on fire!

Kurrth: Argggggh!

X-Men: Oh shit! he's on fire!!!!

[darkknightjrk]

I'm with you--love the unique plans Cyclops is using, DESPISE the art being used.

[crinos]

Also: I looked up Project Purgatory in Wikipedia, I am SO using that for my game.

[icon_uk]

I must get around to posting some of that...

[glimmung]

Flaming unstoppable Juggernaut is hilarious. Dr. McNinja has ruined me.

[thanekos]

I bet one of his plans involves the irresistible force paradox.

Of course, that one's probably near the bottom of the list..

[icon_uk]

Who do they have who could duplicate that level of power?

[joasakura]

yay! Adam X!

:enjoys a moment of giggling nostalgia:

[proteus_lives]

The '90s baby, the backwards-facing basball cap is still there.

[hyperactivator]

Ooo! OOO! I got one! Have Kitty turn him intangible like she did with the big bullet.

[proteus_lives]

Result: ineffective.

[squirle]

In these scans the art is actually pretty good, except for the women...

[thatnickguy]

"Largest mutant-generated force blasts recorded..."

Which they don't even show.

FAIL.

[proteus_lives]

They didn't show Mags crashing the carrier down either. With Kitty, Peter and Magick being the main story, probably couldn't spare the pages.

[omgwtflolbbqbye]

Psylocke looks like she was teleported onto Juggernaut's head without warning and has no idea what she's doing there.

[proteus_lives]

Ha. She does look like that.

[zenbro]

Well...if we're dealing with a truly unstoppable force I would forget direct engagement and go for confusion and misdirection away from its target. It must have some system of perceiving its environment so theoretically those perceptions can be tampered with. A super blast of Pixie dust? Empath making him lose his sense of purpose? Lady Mastermind creating an illusion to draw the thing away and into, oh I dunno some container that gets shot into the sun?

[proteus_lives]

They've been trying all that. Telepathy is a no-go, power-draining, teleporting, even changing the path itself have all failed.

[omgwtflolbbqbye]

Also Cyclops's 'Plan 33' with Syrin and Dazzler also happens to be his 'Plan 1' for throwing raves at the X-Mansion.

[biod]

*ahem* LAAAAAAAAAAAAND!
That out of the way, you have to love heroes cutting lose completely and a villain that just ignores it all. And Plan 24 made me laugh for a minute.

[bruinsfan]

I'm trying to think of what the X-Men have in their current repertoire that might be effective, and it's really hard to come up with tactics to use against Hulk-level physical might plus divine possession that apparently shrugs off everything exotic they throw at it. I suppose Illyana would be their best bet to fight it on its own level, but if we're talking about a god whose powers are equivalent to Thor's I don't know that even she'd be up to the task.

My best guess would be to use a combo of (1) Mercury insinuating herself between Juggernaut's hand and the hammer to break physical contact, (2) Magneto yanking off his helmet, and (3) Karma trying to possess him in the hope it would snap the link between Cain and the spirit in the hammer.

[proteus_lives]

I like your thinking but it's mostly been covered.

1. Cain's been shown throwing the hammer and it returns to him ala Thor.

2 and 3. They already yanked it off and tried for the telepathic whammy and Emma ended up in a coma. Rogue tried for the power drain and went down for the count. Plus Santana tried possessing Juggy in the Thunderbolts but it was a no-go.

[blackruzsa]

1) ROCKSLIIIIIIDDDEEEEE YESSSSS
2) Juggernaut on fire reminds me of something you MUST NEVER DO IN LEFT 4 DEAD:
Never throw a molotov at a witch unless you can run really, really fast. Because in any level above average, witch is much better than angrywitchonfire.
