WOLVERINE AND THE X-MEN: Scott drops by

[starwolf_oakley]

Here are a few panels WOLVERINE AND THE X-MEN #10.



I decided not to post the entire two page spread of Cyclops and Wolverine walking through the Jean Grey School and talking. So here's just the top part.



Well, we're getting a sense of what Cyclops is thinking. If the Phoenix Force wanted to destroy the world, it would have done so before now. And there's really nothing any of the X-Men or Avengers can do to stop it if that's what it wants to do. But, so far, it has acted in bringing Hope and the Five Lights.

So, Cyclops is being a fatalist? Sheesh, good thing he never led a fight against Galactus.

"So, this being eats planets? Well, nothing *we* can do will stop him."

Some teachers at the school voice their disapproval with staying on the sidelines.



Rachel: FINALLY, someone remembers! Of course, just because Rachel could control the Phoenix Force doesn't mean Hope can do the same thing.
Gambit: I've heard worse reasons for hating the Avengers. Hey, what about Monica Rambeau/Captain Marvel/Photon/Pulsar? Isn't she from Louisiana as well?
Chamber: Nobody cares about Chamber. He's probably lying about having friends on Utopia. Poor bastard.

Well, at least some characters are giving reasons why they think Cyclops is right. Of course, that also means they think Captain America is wrong. Which is never a good thing.

Instead, he's betting everything on a hunch that maybe the Phoenix will help him out.

Oh gods yes! I mean lets look at the other known hosts that could control the Flaming Parrot.

Jean Grey- THE most powerful and highly trained telepath on earth next to Xavier himself, and even she bobbled with the power, went insane and commited suicide to stop herself from reducing the planet to ash.

Rachel Summers- Jean's Daughter, another highly disaplined and trained telepath who by her own admission only accessed a tiny sliver of the Force and never any more with the fear she could loose control and it would consume her like it did her mother.

Both women had years of training before they got the Parrot, Jean had a powerful empathy that was nutured by her family and friends, Rachel didn't have that growing up...but got one when she came to this time they had powerful anchors to humanity and that helped them ALLOT, both were of the same bloodline and it was because of that bloodline that the Shiar murdered all the Grey Bloodline to PREVENT another Host from ever being born/created.

Hope?

Hope didnt' get her powers till very recently, a year? Maybe? Has had minimal training other than as a soldier and survialist, she's screwed in the head you CANNOT come out of the childhood she had without some mental problems. She's been told she's a Chosen One since she was old enough to understand. Attempts to reign her in or disapline her have been half hearted at best, useless at worst she almost mind raped the other 'Lights'. And now she's to be the host for a Cosmic Being...one that gives the best a run for their money...

And when Jean went insane, she ate a sun and doomed a nearby planet's people.

Cyclops is quite literally playing with fire. Worse, this fire could potentially destroy Earth. Heck, it's already destroyed a bunch of populated worlds on its way to Earth.

The Avengers may be ill-informed about the nature of the Phoenix, but they at least are actively trying to FIGHT the fire, not feed it.

The last "hero" I remember that was told he would be a savior, and began training for such an thing late in their life turned into Darth Vader.... >_> Just saying.

Except you're forgetting Luke, who started training when he was at least ten years older than Anakin, had a few weeks Jedi training IN TOTAL, and DID defeat the Empire.

[autohobbs]

No one was hounding him about he was the Messiah though. He was also alone.

[icon_uk]

Though I agree he wasn't viewed as a Messiah by most, Yoda did tend to stress the "You're the last hope" with a heavy subtext of "Do what I say or the galaxy is hosed".

"mind raped"

Mind controlled, violated the minds of, stole control of, etc

Would all be better, if you please.
