.....dayum... Now that is what I call fucked up...

[shadowpsykie]

i don't get it... what did they do?

[flint_marko]

The Mongrels, the people they had Wolverine fight and kill, were his children.

[darkknightjrk]

First off--love the Tidus gif. :D

Second--HOLY SHIT. I mean, it makes sense--dude's lived somewhere close to 200 years he'll more than likely have gotten more than one child. But still...DAMN.

[espanolbot]

I know that that's meant to be part of Vandal Savage's deal, how a greater part of humanity is actually descended from him at this point, like how a fraction of all of humanity is related to Ghengis Khan or something.

[mullon]

That Tidus clip should have been the warning I heeded.

[thanekos]

" We trained them wrong. As a joke. "

[thatnickguy]

"How does my face to your first style feel?"

[cainofdreaming]

Fat Cobra did it... err, tragedier? With more tragedy. Hmm, lacks oomph.

[silicondream]

And Lobo did it with more comedy. And Vandal Savage just kinda does it.

[zechs80]

The moment I saw the Titus gif I knew this was going to be screwed up fun.

[suzene]

Umpty-ump Wolverspawn out there, and Daken's the only one who inherits the healing factor?

Ah, well. At least Flex wasn't in the line-up.

[long_silence]

Did any of them even have mutant powers? They all seemed completely human to me.

Or Amiko.

[proteus_lives]

Liked it better with Fat Cobra.

But thank you for the Titus gif!

[glprime]

Have to agree.

[thehefner]

Perfect gif is perfect.

Man, I still wish I had my Scott Tenorman style Titus icon that went "Na na na na NA na, I made you eat your chil-dren..."

[crinos]

Big second, I've actually seen Titus multiple times (In different Shakespeare classes I've taken in college), and that's probably my favorite scene (Mainly because of the cheerful music they play during the eating scene, and just how damn gleefully insane Titus is at this point.)

[espanolbot]

Logan: Eh, maybe if they weren't so ugly I'd care more.

[blackruzsa]

Hoshit.
Okay, it would be more touching and less creepy if that weirdo thin girl with the BDSM mask hadn't been doing that nasty flirting before.

But hoshit.

[drmcninja]

Eww, what?

[an_idol_mind]

I gotta admit, that's a pretty good way to get a win over on Wolverine, as long as you're okay with the fact that he's going to kill you slowly and painfully once he finds you.

[drmcninja]

I think a point is that they don't really care. They don't need to survive, they just want him to suffer, one way or another.

[grazzt]

People can hate on Julie Taymor all they want for "Turn Off The Dark", but she will always hold a soft spot in my heart for her direction of Titus Andronicus.

[thehefner]

Fuck yes. It's one of the all-time greatest adaptations of any Shakespeare play.

[thatnickguy]

Damn. That's ALMOST Old Boy levels of messed up right there.

Almost.

[lonewolf23k]

You know what would've been hilarious? If Logan then looked up at them and said "So what? I should care about all my bastard offspring?"

[bruinsfan]

Seriously, they're people he doesn't know who were dead set on trying to kill him. I don't think there's really much more personal tragedy or connection for him there there than doing the same with random people they picked off the street.

You want to destroy him, trick him into killing Kitty Pryde and Jubilee.

[whitesycamore]

Condoms, Wolvie: look into using them.

[blackruzsa]

To be fair, they probably didn't exist at the time.

HEY, does anyone still remember his Savage Land kid? Anyone?

Also, if Logan hadn't done 'em all in, Daken probably would have anyways.

[sianmink]

Yeah but did they feed them to him as delicious chili?
Far as I'm concerned the red hand murdered them as soon as they came up with their plot. Logan can't really feel guilty about that.

[flint_marko]

Except Mystique was trying to tell him, and he killed her.

[lakrids404]

There is perhaps a price of letting your enemies live, and there are surely also price, if you kill as easily Wolverine do.

[drmcninja]

Thats why I like the idea of this. Wolverine has kind of killed indiscriminately for a long time, it's nice to see how people actually react to it.

[crabby_lioness]

Damn, Jason Aaron hit that one out of the park! Finally, a good Wolverine story.

[biod]

I've been enjoying his Wolverine stories since Weapon X. He brings a delightful level madness and depravity to the things he writes. I think it suits Wolverine well, usually.

[turtlefu]

Why should he even care? His other living kid is Daken, who he certainly doesn't seem to give a crap about. And he shouldn't, because one of rules of being Wolverine's offspring is being evil.

[crabby_lioness]

I think it's the five-stage process. He's still going through a form of Denial with Daken and Laura. "They're not mine! Okay they are, but not really...."

Sooner or later the denial will break. This might do it.

[crabby_lioness]

That does help explain his attitude in Schism, if he was coming straight off this without having time to process it.

[biod]

Didn't even think of that. That's rather clever.

[halloweenjack]

"...

"...well, if they were trying that hard to kill me, I guess they weren't very good people.

"*shrug* Hey, I never did get around to teaching Laura how to smoke, did I? Gotta get that girl some cigars."

[flint_marko]

"...well, if they were trying that hard to kill me, I guess they weren't very good people.

Daken is probably worse, and that hasn't stopped Wolverine from saving his life.

[timgueugen]

I wonder how long it will be before they're retconned as not being his kids.

Nice shout-out

[capt_satellite]

I'd thought of Titus Andronicus when I read this too. Nice observation; GREAT .GIF.
