a light goes out

[brooms]

The Lights show up already Kenji-less in UXM #9, also released this Wednesday:



Uncanny X-Men #9's (which deserves your money imho tbh) creators are Kieron Gillen & Carlos Pacheco.

right? specially since martha blows him up in an illusion.

also, were that real!magneto and real!emma? so weird.

[ruthk]

I believe they were, but they were under Kenji's control.

[brooms]

i kept doubting it. kenji must have been a bigger powerhouse than i thought to get through magneto and emma, and i already thought he was p powerful.

i know that kenji actually had his tentacles all up in magneto's eyeballs in a recent issue, but still. to control BOTH to that extent. wow.

Not a slash ship I ever expected to see fodder for :p

I guess it helps when you can leave little pieces of yourself inside their brain.

Man was he overpowered

[salinea]

I think so, but they were mind-controlled?

[icon_uk]

Someone mind-controlled EMMA? And it wasn't treated as a big deal?

[salinea]

... I'm not a big fan of Asmus' handling of Gen Hope either.

[drmcninja]

I'm not a fan of Gen Hope at all. Not since they lost the only actually original and interesting character.

[salinea]

... which one?

[spacebetween]

Oya (Idie Okonkwo) left them to go with Wolverine's faction

[salinea]

which coincides with the transition from Gillen writing to Asmus.

your icon is AMAZING!!!

do you have a scan of that or remember the title/issue?

[icon_uk]

Sure, it's from this issue of Angel. Use with pride... or apathy!

[bruinsfan]

I'd actually think Magneto would be the bigger deal, as he was shown to be able to fight off the mental control of Amahl Farouk back during the initial Shadow King storyline. His mental defenses are supposed to be good enough that even Xavier has trouble taking him down psychically.

[salinea]

Magneto's latent/defensive psychic powers have mostly been retconned by now though, in favour of movie verse helmet's tech (when it comes to resisting Xavier).
