(And, yes, I get this is a gag. But for being a "school" they have surprisingly few qualified teachers. Also, I see no note that parents shoudl take out life insurance on their children as there is a good chance they will get killed within the year.)

And it could end by Gambit suggesting a threesome, which Cecilia is excited about and Beast goes along for the new experience and to make Cecilia happy. OT3.no subject

Date: 2011-10-27 10:29 pm (UTC)I believe it was a bone of contention with Byrne and Claremont when creating her. Byrne wanted her to be a much more average kid, no unexpected areas of mental brilliance, but Claremont wanted her to be a child prodigy as well as a mutant.
She was also brilliant at electronic engineering and computer hardware, one reason why she and Doug got on; she built the computers, he programmed them.

Date: 2011-10-27 12:13 pm (UTC)Like, only Doctor Mid-night (and the actual one!) is a full fledged real PhD certificated Doctor.
Doctors Light, Doom, Strange, Octopus,...? not these guys.
Was Professor X an actual Professor anyway? Or did he brainwash people into giving him the qualifications?
no subject
Date: 2011-10-27 01:38 pm (UTC)Both/All the Dr Lights have been qualified Doctors of Optics and/or Physics.
Dr Otto Octavius was a noted physcicist before he was fused to his arms, so yes, he's a Doctor.
I thought all the Dr's Mid-Nite (and the short lived Dr Midnight) were medically qualified as Doctors.
Stephen Strange was a qualified MD and surgeon, so would be perfectly entitled to call himself Doctor. (Though if he was in the UK as a surgical consultant he might have used "Mr", but the exact titles used in British hospitals confuse me, never mind the US, so it may be the norm for a surgeon to be Doctor.)
"Professor" means something different in the US to most other places. In Britain (and Europe in general) Professor is a legally distinct title (like Mr, Miss, Ms or Dr etc), and is conferred to a specialist in their field by a University usually to indicate a Department Head. In the US, it's a job, not a title and can be conferred to any teacher (though usually in college or higher educational establishments)

Date: 2011-10-27 10:31 pm (UTC)I'm not sure Latveria is large enough to have more than one University, if it even has one (Doom likes his peasants to know their place and a university would be too ripe a source of rebellion)

no subject
Date: 2011-10-28 10:44 pm (UTC)You're also right about universities being a hotbed of rebellion... but if the Latverian youth had no colleges in the country, those that did not stay and till the land would have to seek education abroad, where they'd be exposed to influences that might harm their patriotism. Better to have a fully-funded state university, with mandatory classes like "Great Deeds Of Doom 101" and "Advanced Techniques for the Final Defeat of RICHAAAAARRRRDDDSSSS."
...I still bet Doom would be offered the occasional honorary doctorate from universities outside Latveria hoping for funding, though.
no subject
Date: 2011-10-28 08:02 am (UTC)And I'd imagine Doom would have more reason to call himself "Professor Doom" than "Doctor Doom".

I'm certainly not saying there's a "right" or a "wrong" way to speak, but there is a sort of spectrum of accents ranging from "Soothing to the ear" and "Assonant as all get out". And most of us could think of accents from both ends of that spectrum.
As someone from a part of Scotland with a powerful, and frequently near incomprehensible to outsiders, dialect and intonation, I am more than aware of the problems that can present.

Study Abroad at Wakanda sounds neat. Though I'm wondering how that works. Presumably that's via Storm's connections? But isn't she with Scott? And even if she isn't isn't Panther no longer a part of Wakanda? Is Storm still Queen regardless?

"Tell me about the the battle of Bunker Hill!"
~The student grins~
"I know that Professor Logan had sex with three women at the same time while battle was fought!"
~Jean's smile deflates as quickly as a balloon in a needle factory (that analogy brought to you by Anal Co, you can't spell analogy without Anal!) she points to another student~
"Um....Tell me about the New Deal..."
~the student grins~
"That's what Professor Logan called his penis during the 30's! He said that the women he met called it a new and very big deal!"
"Logan, please tell me you haven't just told these students about the women you've slept with."
"Of course not!"
~Scott sighs out of relief and puts down his milk carton shiv~
"That's my 3:00 class, this class is all the women I've made love too. I'm thinking of starting another one for the women I've screwed and maybe a quick summer course for the guys I've done."

On the one hand, he really seemed to care about the kids and I could see him going back to that. On the other hand, Scott may be a controlling d-bag, but working under the guy who disemboweled you is a whole new level of awkward.
