Uncanny X-Men #120

[iamrman]

Vindicator has returned to bring in Wolverine and he has brought back-up that is far more interesting than he is.

Since when nas Captain Boomerang worked for the Canadian Government?

The X-Men split up after Sasquatch of Alpha Flight brings down their plane in a conveniently empty corner of the airport.

The next time they do an Amalgam they ought to cross him with the Eradicator to create the Vin D. Radicator.

...why would they capture Nightcrawler?

Wanted: Wolverine! Dead or Alive!*

*And by that we obviously mean alive. He can't work for us if he's dead.

Cunningly disguised as then-Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau, no less!

Ooh, punch cards. Department H was really state of the art.

I could never keep track - is there a difference between Guardian and Vindicator? Have both James and Heather used both codenames? Are they different suits or roles or something?

Also, the "The way to use the element of surprise is to blast through the ceiling where they're not then casually walk into the store they're in" is hilarious. Doubly so that's followed by "do nothing, get my ass handed to me instantly, fly back out through ceiling hole".

Because forcing the the guy with knives in his hands, a bad attitude, and a berserker to abandon his friends and work for you is going to work out so well even if you succeed and don't just make an enemy of a powerful super group (who would likely stop at nothing to get him back if you did).

Like, best case scenario, you bring him back and he escapes the second you leave the screen door open. The worst case version he does it and you all have several bloody holes in you.

(There's a What If that suggests they actually needed Wolverine for a specific mission involving the Negative Zone, but that's obviously not in continuity or applicable).

...they misspelled "Ottawa."

What are they doing up here, anyway?
