Preview - X-Club #2

Newsarama have a preview

Now this is the sort of challenge that seems worthy of the X-Club



With the number of rogue organisations who might have access to mutagenic materials in the MU, it's perhaps a surprise this doesn't happen more often.

And parents lock up your daughters (and interested sons, though judging by this I don't think he would be interested in them), because Dr Nemesis is accesorising with mutant echinoderms!



TELEPATHIC mutant echinoderms. OOPS!

As sealife chapeau fashions go, it's the understated to Madame Hydra's Hive-given over.

Tonight the part of Madame Hydra will be played by Octavia from TigerSharks

[sinisterlink]

Why exactly DOES Madame Hydra have that thing on her head?

[thanekos]

She got doublecrossed and killed, so the mentally-powered-squids- wielding agent of HYDRA known as the Hive stuck it on her head to revive her.

She doesn't have it now, though; during her current team-up with Norman Osborn, what basically happened was:

" You know, we have two scientific supervillains and several members of AIM working for us, so we could probably get that thing off your head no prob. "
" Oh, could you? That'd be great. "

[sinisterlink]

Ha. That would be one of the suckier ways to be brought back from the dead. I can see her waking up with calamari hair and being all like, "You know, when The Hand revives people, they don't have to use smelly giant squids to do it. Just saying."

To which the squid replied "You think YOU have it bad sweetheart, I've just woken up to find I've got a bloody HUMAN growing out of my nether regions. How do you think that makes ME feel."

...okay, picking this up now.


Also, have we seen Dr Nemesis sans hat and mask? I only usually see him in stuff he appears in for about a panel.

[glimmung]

Does this mean that Dr. Nemesis actually has a filter on what he says!?

[terrykun]

His filter stops him from ever accidentally saying something complimentary to someone.

[terrykun]

DAT ASS.

Oh Dr Bradley, it couldn't have happened to someone more deserving. Gabriel should be pleased.

[curlyjo1]

Did Starro just cross universes?

[lieut_kettch]

My thoughts exactly!

[lieut_kettch]

"Petri Girl?" I see Nemesis has the stereotypical intellectual disdain that "pure" scientists have for those in the messy, icky fields of biology. Or worse, the social sciences.

Also, is there an explanation as to how Dr. Rao transformed from staid and matronly in Astonishing to "hot librarian fantasy figure?"

[terrykun]

The same thing that happened to Callisto and Marrow. They were deemed more important to the plot.

LAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAND.

So Doctor Nemesis is what Sheldon Cooper would have been if he'd become a Nazi hunting super-scientist? Now THERE'S a concept.

[eyz]

This certainly looks interesting enough :P

[meowshi]

SCIENCE!!
