Oh Snap!
Emma's comes off as a little insecure when it comes to Jean doesn't she. I guess the fact that we never found out who Scott had chosen before Jean died is part of why she's not as confident as she is when it comes to, well everything else. Still, I don't think Emma cares that Jean is a more powerful psionic than her.
Emma may never have been an ideal Phoenix host, but she seems to be mentally stable most of the time. Whereas the Phoenix seems to have a rather... destabilizing effect on the personalities of those who are anything less than godlike (I'm not speaking of the Dark Phoenix, just Jean post-return all the way to her death by Xorn).
Also, is it me or do Namor's spocklike ears (actually didn't Namor come first, so isn't that Spock's Namorlike ears?) make you think of his wife-stealing attempts as "She is yours. After a time, you may find that having is not so pleasing a thing, after all, as wanting." Sue and Emma and Namor would be a cute OT3.
P.S: What effect do you think the Phoenix force actually has on a host?
Re: Oh Snap!
Date: 2011-11-30 04:50 pm (UTC)that's... complicated... Rachel Housed the Phoenix force and she was fine. The original "Phoenix" used jean's "template" but lacked her essential humanity. When Jean actually got the Phoenix, she, like Rachel seemed to handle it fine. When she went kinda dark in Resurrection it was because Quentin Quire pulled her out too soon so she was in state of shell shock...
so i think its not so much what effect the Phoenix Has on the host, but what effect the host has on the phoneix
Re: Oh Snap!
Date: 2011-11-30 05:09 pm (UTC)I still don't even understand what's up with Scott getting all these bombshells fighting over him. He's the one who should be lacking confidence about his partners sticking around. I've read that some writers like to says he's Marvel's Batman or whatever, but Bruce, reticent and dweeb-ish as he may be, is a self-sufficient billionaire. *Emma* is single-handedely keeping Utopia running with her money.
"Oh, he's the leader of the X-Men!" Who gives a shit? Namor is right there!
Speaking of leader of the X-Men, considering how highly Xavier thought of Scott, was there ever a story about how Scott's mind is some sort of catnip for telepaths? Is that his secondary mutation? Living, breathing telepath catnip?
Re: Oh Snap!
Date: 2011-11-30 05:16 pm (UTC)That's actually a popular fan theory actually. Consider this: Jean, Betty, and Emma have all demonstrated an attraction to Scott. Though Betty's attraction is significantly less than Jean and Emma. It's highly likely that aside from having a) optic blasts, b) advanced geometric calculation abilities he might have c) a mind that is immensely sensually appealing to a telepath. We should put him in a locked room with a gay telepath for a month to test your theory about Xaviour. I'd never even considered what effect Scott might have had on Prof. X. Hmmm... maybe it encouraged strong paternal feelings sort of like a brood parasite (the real world behaviour of eating eggs and leaving yours behind, that will be cared for by the mother and then eat the mother when they hatch - remember the Simpsons?).
P.S: The brood parasite behaviour is probably where the idea of the "Brood" came from.
Re: Oh Snap!
Date: 2011-11-30 05:27 pm (UTC)Scott does have a fascinating mind. the fact that he DOES have an extremely advanced geometric calculation and strategic mind, must make his mind extremely complex. Also in WHedon's run *bows in reverence at the mention of one of my high gods* showed that he himself is blocking out his control of his powers BECAUSE he needs something to struggle with,, adds credence to this

That’s correct.
And you… led the team.
Exactly.
I CAN'T HANDLE THIS INTERVIEW'S BEAUTY
Date: 2011-11-30 06:01 pm (UTC)Well, I told them teamwork was valuable and that they should work as a team. I don’t know what more you could ask of me than that.
Really?
Some of them seemed to actually get a kick out of ignoring me. Heck, a lot of them still do.
I can’t imagine.
I still maintain that Thunderbird might have lived if we had been more coordinated.
You lost a team member?
On our second mission, yes.
That must have been terrible.
I told them, “This is what happens when you don’t work as a team! Next time listen to me better!”

Re: I CAN'T HANDLE THIS INTERVIEW'S BEAUTY
1. Battle plans (Read: X-Men vs Nul Breaker of Worlds)
2. X-Force: Which ended up becoming a divisive issue
3. Having Psylocke organize a new security division for Utopia: which he should have done when he bloody set up in San Fransico over a year ago!
Overall, his battle plans are essentially what an average comicbook reader would come up with. I think the writers have trouble coming up with ways to simulate combat with superpowers so they often end up with "You fail military strategy forever."
