Date: 2012-10-18 04:28 am (UTC)Huh. That's...
...neat.
Against all expectations, Marvel is starting to put out comics I actually want to read again. (This, Hawkeye, the new Young Avengers.) After the way AvX played out, I thought I'd never want to pick up another Marvel book again, but now they've got a whole crop of cool looking stuff.
Dammnit, I was saving so much money...

Date: 2012-10-18 10:43 pm (UTC)Which why I think where they are holding Scott for that very reason. By letting his X-Men team breaking him out would damage Scott's profile and his team's profile. Plus it is good for anti-mutant propaganda.
Still it could be the government released him.

Date: 2012-10-18 03:50 pm (UTC)It's a minor gripe, but between that and Spider-Man's recent behavior, I think the word responsibility now means something different in the Marvel Universe than it does in our world.

Date: 2012-10-18 06:26 pm (UTC)Though it can be argued that the X doesn't stand for Xavier, that's a dead theory. It stands for the X gene, and he has been leading the team for quite a few, if not most of his years, so if anyone gets to do it - its him.

Date: 2012-10-18 11:42 pm (UTC)I don't know when the term "x-gene" was actually coined in the comics, but I think the "X" just stood for unknown.

Date: 2012-10-19 04:49 pm (UTC)So I guess Scott can throw up the cheeky gang sign if he wants.
no subject
Date: 2012-10-18 11:10 pm (UTC)Regardless, the team has a lot of history with him. The school which is a majority of the time their central base belongs to his family. So really even with him not there the team is still very much his team being the founder.
no subject
Date: 2012-10-19 04:52 pm (UTC)The school's gone now isn't it? The new one has very little to do with him.
It'd explain why everyone carried on using the name as soon as they pushed Xavier out as a leader of the group. It doesn't have anything to do with him anymore, they are not Xavier's men.
God that be a weird group name.

Date: 2012-10-19 12:14 am (UTC)imagine if someone guilty of murdering a bloke named keith lambert was leaving a courtroom, saw all the cameras and gestured K and L with his hands.
you could argue that - little known fact! - the convict's beloved granny kathy lee had just died of, idk, emphysema two nights before and he meant to pay his respects.
it's still tacky.

no subject
Date: 2012-10-19 04:58 pm (UTC)And not the same thing at all.
Your comparison would make more sense as a comparison if the murderer was previously in a group that used the letters K and L as their signage, if they did, his finger signs would have a whole new layer of meaning.
Scott has just as much claim to the X-Men... 'brand' as Xavier does, he lived and breathed it, lead it, and protected it; he doesn't believe in Xavier, he believes in the X-gene, hence the wacky gang sign.
I don't think anyone in Universe would think of him making the X sign and thinking, 'he's totally shaming Xavier by specifically signing the first letter of his name!', though they'll certainly be thinking "He still thinks he's one of us?" - wether or not that's a fair question is a whole other story.

Date: 2012-10-18 09:19 pm (UTC)I guess it could be both. Either way, I like it. This is far more desirable than AvsX and the bullshit that came about because of it.
