Dramatic irony: an illustration

[salinea]

I'm not sure if it's more sweet, sends shivers down the spine, or is kind of hilarious.

Knowing modern Marvel, this will follow the usual pattern of being sweet, nice and a little kooky, and then it will promptly turn to shit when the two are forced to fight and/or kill each other in some bullshit event.

[salinea]

well as long as they don't help one another to become Apocalypse again and destroy the world...

[mrstatham]

I think we both know it's inevitable. Marvel can't have nice things just as much as DC can't.

[salinea]

It is slightly less grimdark than the DCnU though. On some series it might even be downright zany, and sometimes reformed villains & the like do have a chance at long term redemption.

[spacebetween]

All it takes is one writer to send Genesis down the path. Same goes with Kid Loki. :/

[mrstatham]

If anything, Kid!Loki's more inevitable than Genesis.

It's Supernatural Season 5 all over again!

[long_silence]

Oh god they're going to Fusion Dance and combine into the giant Super Apocalypse from the future Deathlok saw in WATXM #4 aren't they?

[mercia]

I can only conclude that the "Fusion Dance" will be conducted to Barry White and candles.

[darkknightjrk]

I certainly hope not--Evan's barely a teenager, for crying out loud!

[salinea]

... that would be the shiver down the spine option.

[sherkahn]

Sorry, I know what your words said, but I was just dancing to the 80's during my lunchbreak and I got the Pointer Sister's "Neutron Dance" in my brain... Children of the Atom indeed.

[icon_uk]

EVERYONE should have Neutron Dance on their brain, it's one of my all time favourite numbers!

[greenmask]

If they don't, I'll eat a chocolate hat.

[halloweenjack]

That's not much of a bet, if it's actually made of chocolate.

[greenmask]

I want to express chagrin with comics but not enough to leave room for having to eat an ACTUAL hat. And a chocolate hat is a lot of chocolate!

Challenge enough.

[grazzt]

Oh my god. Are the tags lying, or did they really keep "Sabahnur" as Evan's last name? Because that strikes me as incredibly hilarious for some reason.

"Hi, my name is Ned, Ned Lathotep. This is buddy, Cal. Cal Thulhu."

"I've never heard those sorts of names before."

"Oh, I'm Egyptian, and Cal is of Pacific Island descent."

[salinea]

I looked up the character's name before adding the tag, and yeah, it seems so: http://marvel.wikia.com/Genesis_%28Evan%29_%28Earth-616%29

and yes, it does seem horribly corny, but well, the character is and so is W&tXM.

[sir_mikael]

We saw in Uncanny X-Force that in his home in his simulated upbringing there was a lovely sign with "God bless the Sabahnurs" on the wall. :P

[grazzt]

That's the most adorable thing ever. Has it already been put on this site? If not, can you point me to somewhere that it has been posted? I want that sign as my icon.

First panel:
DYNAMIC ENTRY!

[outlawpoet]

Maito Guy and Rock Lee could actually be directly transplanted to the Marvel U with little difficulty.

Hidden Villages and Ninja Clans already exist.

And just imagining Maito confidently explaining Spider-Man villains while Lee diligently writes down notes in the midst of kinetic mayhem makes my soul happy.

"Wise words, Guy sensei! So simple but filled with such profound meaning!"

[darkknightjrk]

If you had wings and could fly, wouldn't you use that to enter places ALL THE TIME? I know I would.

[protogarrett]

What bugs me is Warren is a 30-something billionaire CEO.
1) The kids have no problem with a 30 years old classmate.
2) No one in the world wonders where the famous 30-year old CEO and public X-Man vanished, to? This would affect scores of people and stock market. People would notice and investigate heavily.
3) Why have none of the kids just said, "Hi, Mr. Worshington." And blown the secret?

Even in comics this cover-up and secret makes little sense.

[lascoden]

He's not a billionaire, his company declared him mentally unsound. I think most people would see the way he is now, and just assume something superhero related was going on. Plus, he may not be 30 anymore. He got stabbed with "life" so it could have reduced his age some. He knows who others think he is, Bobby called him Warren, it's not really a secret. He just doesn't really believe them.

[darkknightjrk]

Like the other guy said--the Life Seed basically created a new young adult life that happens to look like Warren--he isn't an amnesiac who lost his memories, he never had them. To him, he's just Angel.

[nezchan]

Memory or no memory, Warren knows how to rock a suit.

[md84]

I don't see why anyone is especially worried about Genesis.

So he's a kid with incredibly destructive power. In the Marvel Universe, there are plenty of those running around even after M-day, and Genesis probably isn't even among the ten most dangerous ones. Frankly the new Hellfire club lead by evil genius teenagers is more worrisome.

[salinea]

I don't think they're worried about his power. They're worried about whom he's a clone of.

[md84]

Are they worried that he still has Apocalypse's memories or something? I'd make fun of that, but in comics I guess that is a legitimate concern.

[long_silence]

Well there are people like the Clan Akkabba, who once they realize who Evan is are going to try to brainwash him or find a way to give him all of Apocalypse's memories.

[md84]

Yeah, one of the reasons Apocalypse was such a huge threat despite not actually being the most powerful mutant the X-men have faced (though he's certainly very powerful) is that he has a cult of fanatics and a truckload of Celestial technology.

Now I'm getting flashbacks to Castlevania Dawn of Sorrow and the insane cult that wanted to make the hero (Dracula's reincarnation) reclaim the Dark Lord mantle.
