Oh my, that is not a good look.

Something about white haired gentlemen in baseball caps just screams midlife crisis.

[brooms]

and he's been courting a young lady in her early twenties, too. he's ticking all the mid-life crisis boxes :| :| :|

[lieut_kettch]

Has he bought a Porsche yet?

[brooms]

not yet, but he made a juvenile condom joke about tony's magneto-proof suit in issue #1!!

[sherkahn]

I'M a white haired gentleman who wears baseball caps!

[salinea]

Do you wear a lot of purple? XD

[sherkahn]

Only my underwear.

[salinea]

You're only wearing your purple underwears? *leer*

[viridian5]

And possibly a baseball cap.

[salinea]

since I'm European myself I do not have strongly unpleasant association with those :p

[quietbang]

Or, in this case, a late-in-life crisis. Isn't he, like, 80 by now? ;)

I don't think I like this take on Astra and Joseph. Whilst retconning in another founding member of the Brotherhood was sort of okay, I liked that IIRC she left on a point of principle, and resented Magneto, but not in a borderline psychotic way, he annoyed the hell out of her and she saw no reason to stay, and left to pursue a rather dilletante lifestyle around the galaxy (the joys of galactic distance teleportation as a power)

Her grand revenge plan against Magnus wasn't even a particularly grand one. As she said herself when it was all wiped out "You've ruined yea... WEEKS of careful planning" which was refreshingly honest.

She was also an older woman, a contemporary of Magnus and Charles, and whilst her getting some sort of a makeover from her purchased alien tech is not really unexpected, it's a little too easy to make her a young and nubile.
Plus Joseph was HER puppet, not the other way around, so I'm not a fan of her lolling at his feet like they're re-enacting Leia and Jabba.

And if we believe Apocalypse (okay, not exactly a reliable sorce, but Mags didn't really object to the statement), she wasn't even really behind Joseph. As Mags had dealt with her prior in such a way that, well, it sounded terminal to me.

[long_silence]

With all of the other Brotherhood clones I'm hoping this is also a clone of Astra and the real one is behind the scenes manipulating Joseph.

Per SP's response to me below it occurs that maybe she's just topping from the bottom.

...Yeah, probably not.

[daningram.insanejournal.com]

I guess since Magneto is the mini's star, the writers feel the need to made whoever he's facing worse.

Regardless of, ya know, past characterization and/or logic.

[fifthie]

I like a good "let me show what a badass dude I am by casually choking my lady" scene as much as the next guy but it's a little stupid when the lady is a teleporter.

[shadowpsykie]

Some people like being choked with chains me me me! can't think of any though.... just kidding i don't like being choked with chains.... at least i don't think so...

[autumn_lily]

But we can find out dear! We'll find a strapping young man and I think I have everything we need in this box here that I just so happened to find in my closet!

Now, just pick a safe word and we'll get started.

[shadowpsykie]

Teehee, can he look like catman, bunker or tim drake?

[autumn_lily]

I'm fairly certain I can find one of each, that okay? Stamina is sometimes a problem but I have things for that in the trunk as well.

[shadowpsykie]

.... I'm going to hell... im gonna be trolling the net for slash that involves these three now...

[autumn_lily]

If you're going to hell for that, then save me a bed cause I'll be along shortly as well!

[shadowpsykie]

or Hercules!

[autumn_lily]

If I had one that was like Hercules (large muscle bound guy with body hair and can make sure my feet don't touch the floor for an evening)? Well then I'd have to be selfish and keep him!

[shadowpsykie]

fine.... give me the other three, at least catman has chest hair... and he licks :DDDD

[autumn_lily]

I'm sure three will be more than enough to keep you satisfied! ;)

[shadowpsykie]

Says the person who's got a god all to themselves. What evs, got a latino, a brain and grrrrrrrr : D

[autumn_lily]

Hey, I'm a difficult gal to please, what do you want? If it'll make you feel better, I can always find you an Ares or a pre-mutation Hank McCoy if that'll float your boat! And I might be willing to share, just as soon as you find a way to wrestle Nightcrawler away from Icon_UK.

[crabby_lioness]

Magnus, we appreciate that you're trying to go incognito, but how well do you expect that to work against someone who looks just like you?

Oh, you were trying to get captured and brought before Joseph to save yourself some time. My dear, not even Kirk can pull that off reliably.

[eyz]

I'm starting to get hyped for a Marvel event/crossover! Finally! 'haven't been such since House of M to say the least~
