Half a page from Sentry: Fallen Sun

[queenursula]

The heroes are paying their respects to the Sentry.


What's the point of this? Why reveal they did the nasty when he's dead and this will probably never be referenced again?

Because randomly throwing in a reference to a past sexual encounter with a major heroine makes the male hero cooler. Especially awesome when the relationship is treated as just another notch on the character's belt.

Totally not sexist at all.

*cough*

[shadowpsykie]

well i think its the idea that he was one of the only beings rouges could have any source of physical contact without you know, killing him...

that said... wasn't Bob married?

[seriousfic]

Johnny Storm and the Dark Phoenix? Tapped that.

[punishermax]

Wait, what the fuck That makes no sense in any possible way. It's.....just fucking moronic.

Why do they always make the X-men look sooo bad
So this means Rogue was the other woman when the Sentry was with Lindy?
I wonder what Mike Carey thinks of this
Stay Classy Marvel

Adultry = yuck.

[auggie18]

Um, Rogue? What about that dude that Mystique was trying to set you up with? The one that could cancel out powers? The one you dated for a bit when Gambit went evil? Or that time you lost your powers and got all of those tattoos for awhile? Or when you dated Magneto for a while and could touch him for some reason?

I get that they were going for dramatics, but geez...

[milleniumrex]

YAAAAAAAAAY!!! Let's eulogize the Eldritch lunatic who just destroyed Asgard! Sniffle sob!

[queenursula]

But I don't know if Bob was the only one. Wasn't it established she could touch Colossus when he was in his armored form?

[auggie18]

I'd be cooler with this if it gets brought back later as a notch on Rogue's belt.

"Yeah, the Sentry. Tapped that." *nods*

(I know, still sexism. But whatever.)

[queenursula]

That's like saying they shouldn't have memorized Jean after she became Dark Phoenix and ate a sun. He was still a hero for the most part.

[milleniumrex]

Was he really? Dark Avengers made it look a lot like Bob was the illusion and Void was the reality.

Sentry was a mess of a character, really.

[crabby_lioness]

The more I think about it, the more grossed out I get.

[queenursula]

I never got that impression.

But let's say it was; in the Outsiders, Indigo was the fake persona and Brainiac 8 was the real one. The others still felt bad when she died.

[bluefall]

... how was this anything but parody?

[bluefall]

At least it wasn't a threesome with Kitty?

Yeah, I got nothin'.

[vitruvian23]

1) Wait - when did she ever even meet him?

2) Wait - if she did meet him, was it ever established that her powers didn't work on him? After all, in her very first appearance, she drained Thor's powers just fine.

3) Wait - what about the other people in X-continuity that she can touch without her powers hurting them? There are a few...

So... huh?

[sailorkrypton]

I'm sorry, what?

[shale]

Now let us never speak of him again.

Brought to us by the writer who thought Captain America was out of it for not having a MySpace page! Thanks, Paul Jenkins! I haven't been this pleased since you decided that Two-Face's bad side was named Murray! Way to goooooo!

[greenmask]

Oh wait, I wasn't done!

BLAUGHGAUGHHHHHAUGHHsplatter splatter splatter.

Sugah. No.

[queenursula]

Named after his evil brother!

[icon_uk]

Random, out of character for all concerned AND adulterous... that's a warped form of impressive.

[thehefner]

Behold, the scarred visage of pure evil! Evil named... MURRAY!
