Oh right, that awkward time Marvel killed Northstar in three different timelines in the same month.

[rainspirit]

Wow, what?

[bj_l]

Yeah, wasn't the best idea, but IIRC, *at least* one of those titles was running at least a month late.

[daningram.insanejournal.com]

I remember that. Here, Claremont's X-Men forever thingy, and what was the third one?

[flint_marko]

Age of apocalypse

[dcbanacek]

So Wolverine running and jumping forward SURPRISED a speedster?

My god, he was even doing his growling yelling thing where he can only get consonants out, so no one can say he was being a ninja. Its not like Northstar didn't know what Kitty's powers are. "Huh, he jumped right through her, never seen THAT before! TABARNAC, I have been stabbed! owowowowowow..."

[atj99]

I had never heard the word "tabarnak".......awesome new swear word to add to the dictionary.

Cap, you hit him in the head with your shield, he is totally going to recover from that.

[fiddlingfrog.livejournal.com]

I know it doesn't fit the tone of the scene, but I feel a CLONG sound effect would have been really great there.

[sagrada]

"Heal this!" *WHONK*

I start to see why sound effects are being slowly phased out.

[icon_uk]

A sad loss to the comics medium... they'll be back in all their onomatopoeic glory I have no doubt.

[rfmcdonald]

I was amused by how the scene ended.



Not to be kind to the Baroness, but the Baron's plans were terrible. Had he no idea what he was doing?

"Hi, HYDRA-possessed Wolverine! What are you doing?"

"..."

"So, you're going to make Rachel Summers-Grey, one of the most powerful mutants on Earth and the beloved only child of the feared cosmic force that burns away what doesn't work, murder the American president. Oh, and you're also going to rape her and probably murder her because she looks like her recently dead mother. And you'll be going after her friends, too, the ones she saw die terribly in her native timeline. And she knows you're going to do this because she's a powerful telepath. Also a telekinetic. Also an avatar of the Phoenix Force."

"..."

"... No, that's a great plan. You've got claws. And a healing factor! You can totally take her. I'm just going over here."

[dcbanacek]

Well, the Baron was probably thinking "He's almost killed her before, so making him evil(er) is a guarantee of success! Studying strategy and tactics at the knee of Uncle Adolph has taught me much about such things! How can it fail?"

[rfmcdonald]

Yes, the Nazis did not exactly make good choices themselves,

[cainofdreaming]

Wasn't it revealed that his whole thing was an elaborate plan to convince everyone that he was dead on Strucker's part? Still, this is kinda phoning it in even if he isn't interested in Wolverine actually succeeding.

[rfmcdonald]

In a subsequent book out of this one?

In a pragmatic performance-based hierarchy like HYDRA, failure on this scale would be grounds for termination. I just wonder it got this far.

[cainofdreaming]

In another series (I guess some editors didn't think that highly of this either, since they okayed that). And that was just what Strucker got out of it, the other conspirators were really invested in this.

And what with Hydra owning SHIELD and all they had resources to waste, I guess.

[rfmcdonald]

This is true. It certainly got rid of the Baroness.

Three different browsers, and not a single one will load any image from this thread or the latest X-Men '92 thread. =\

Maybe my phone will work later...

[lbd_nytetrayn]

...and it does. Weird. And annoyingly inconvenient.

personally Microsoft edge has been the best browser for viewing s_d lately
