"In re tonight's sportsball news"
|
LAST EDITED ON Nov-03-16 AT 02:45 AM (EDT) Many years ago, I read an X-Men comic in which some culty villain type or another had captured Shadowcat and was keeping her in a small room (don't ask me how) while endeavoring to brainwash her for some Manchurian Candidate scenario or suchlike bullshit. There's a page where he and his chief minion (think of Amon and Steampunk Batroc from TLOK1 if it helps set the scene) are watching the proceedings on CCTV, and Kitty's just flat-out not having any of what their mind control tapes are selling. She's not even too bothered about the situation. Just sort of biding her time and making sarcastic remarks about how deep they're burying themselves with this shit."She's resilient," Steampunk Batroc says, impressed. "She's a Cubs fan," Amon replies sourly. "They're not like other people." --G. -><- Benjamin D.

LAST EDITED ON Nov-05-16 AT 10:56 AM (EDT) X-TREME X-MEN #26, from 2003. Claremont, unsurprisingly, as part of his sequel to GOD LOVES, MAN KILLS (probably because X2: X-MEN UNITED was in theaters)."Amon" was William Stryker, and "Steampunk Batroc" was Lady Deathstrike (who was also in the film). Because I'm bored, here's a scan: http://imgur.com/a/719f7 Mario |

>>Somewhere in Excalibur, maybe? > >Now that you mention it... Arcade and one of his henchminions talking >does sound plausible (especially the "not like other people" snark), >and IIRC he was involved in one or two storylines on Excalibur. The >early (good!) stuff, while they were still based at the lighthouse. >Alan Davis. One of my favorite comic artists, co-creator of "D.R. & Quinch," and creator of the Clan Destine (who I wouldn't mind seeing in UF personally). Ebony the Black Dragon "Life is like an anole. Sometimes it's green. Sometimes it's brown. But it's always a small Caribbean lizard." |
