One more request: When Kitty met Ororo

[kingrockwell]

There was a request about this scene, working from hearsay that Kitty was surprised that Ororo was black. As you'll see, this isn't quite the case.
One panel from X-Men (v1) #129, collected in the Dark Phoenix Saga TPB.

It wasn't Ororo's skin that surprised Kitty, it was her eyes!

Anyone else think we might could do with a tag for filled requests?

As awkward a question it is... I would ask it to.

Is that Logan in the back, grinning over a Hustler with people giving the back of his head dirty looks?

[perletwo.insanejournal.com]

Yes it is. With Peter hovering over his shoulder looking appalled.

[amazingman.insanejournal.com]

I don't think he's appalled so much as completely flummoxed.

Though isn't this after he loses his virginity in a Savage Land threesome?

[icon_uk.insanejournal.com]

Possibly, but Zabu was a very gentle lover.

awesome

Awesome.

My brain is safe as I don't know who Zabu is. Obviously, someone must rectify this by posting scans.

[perletwo.insanejournal.com]

Hint: He's joining the Pet Avengers.

No scans to hand, but you might want to try here (http://againwiththecomics.blogspot.com/2007/04/absolutely-zabu-lous.html) and "here (http://marvel.wikia.com/wiki/Zabu_(Earth-616)) for a little background

Ah, sabertooth-tiger-on-giant-Russian-metal-dude action. Gotcha.

[sandoz_iscariot.insanejournal.com]

Oh, this panel's awkward.

[icon_uk.insanejournal.com]

Of course, Ororo is merely the latest blue eyed, white haired, black women in her family line as it's a matrilineal trait IIRC. Though that probably wasn't retconned in at this point.

I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE Scans Daily!
Next time I see that guy, I'm going to tell him he was wrong!

[taggerung301.insanejournal.com]

which guy?

[silvercatmon.livejournal.com (from insanejournal.com)]

The guy who told me that Kitty was surprised that Ororo was black.

[unknownscribler.insanejournal.com]

I thought he was pissed that Ororo wasn't black enough

[silvercatmon.livejournal.com (from insanejournal.com)]

Nope, he misremembered and thought Kitty was surprised that Ororo was black.

[mullon.insanejournal.com]

Ooh, diss on Ororo's part.
