>KURT WAGNER

You know, one of the great things about Excalibur in the beginning was the small team and the great characters; you've brought the two best over. I can see Kurt really digging the concept of Rose Duels and getting along famously with Liza (swashbuckling, you know) while Kitty is kitty and can survive just about anything. Someone better replace her 'Cats Laughing' albums though...and both are already veterans of dimensional travel (and met a really warped version of Kei and Yuri at one point...) so you'd think they're almost used to this sort of thing.

For when you just need things broken.

Because everyone needs a sidekick...

Re: Redneck's post...I agree, it makes my head hurt...
Doom could have given Largo ego lessons.
Thing would probably be a lot happier in the UF world, he doesn't stick out so much...could he survive on Hoffman without gravity gear? He'd probably try just to see if he could

>ANTHONY STARK
>HENRY McCOY

Now, as they were both Avengers, they actually know their universe's version of Thor and some of the other Asgardians, it would be interesting to see them meet the UF versions for sheer shock value.

Other than Stark I used to love these characters (well, loved to hate Doom) and seeing them get a little screen time warms my heart. And if you want to read some Exaclibur Gryph, I've got a complete run up into the mid #80's of the book. But after #50 it wasn't the same...don't really think you missed too much.

I agree that Liefield should die for ruining the New Mutants.

You know who would have fit into UF really well? The Peter David X-Factor team of Havok, Polaris, Strong Guy, Multiple Man, and Wolvesbane. They were all completely crazy and it was the funnest (if silliest) X book, and was always worth reading when Peter David was writing it. Alas, with no more Marvel crossovers, I will simply have to imagine...

(too bad I can't type well enough to post without typos the first time)
