Quick question based on DoFP coming to theaters soon: What's up with 616 Blink these days? She got brought back to life at the same time as Doug Ramsey, right?

What's the explanation for Bullseye's powers? Mutant? Yet another failed super soldier attempt? Just really put in the time and effort to get good at throwing things? I know he had to train himself to throw like a major league pitcher for his solo comic.

I'm trying to remember which it is, but I seem to recall a What If? where Spider-Man has become sort of an espionage/assassin kind of figure and I think in the issue he runs a mission with Wolverine and Black Widow?

It might've been What If Spider-Man Stayed in Germany? That is based off of a one-shot called Spider-Man Vs Wolverine back in the 80s where Peter Parker and Ned Leeds get mixed up in some adventured with Wolverine and an ex-KGB friend of his named Charlie. Long story short (and you really should read the original, it is really good), Spider-Man and Leeds get mixed up in the same forces that are gunning for Charlie. Leeds dies, later retconned into dying while he was changing into the Hobgoblin costume. Wolverine and Charlie are on the run and Charlie knows these men after her will kill her and asks Wolverine to mercy kill her. Spidey and Wolvie get into a tussle, Spider-Man thinking he can save Charlie. During the fight, Spider-Man senses something behind him and expecting it be Wolverine, fully punches the approaching force. It was Charlie. She died instantly at Spider-Man's hands. Pete and Wolverine later part their separate ways and return to their homes in New York. The What If takes the turn of Spider-Man and Wolverine still being on the run from the forces that were after Charlie. It was released 3-4 years ago and I haven't read it since then but Black Widow might be it. Spider-Man ditches the costume and basically wears super spy black clothes and stuff. Here is the Spiderfan.org summary of the What If issue: http://www.spiderfan.org/comics/reviews/what_if_one_shots/182.html notthegoatseguy fucked around with this message at 19:14 on May 20, 2014 |

If Beast could work out a cure I'm sure one of the many evil scientists could work one out too.

There are several explanations that have been given for Bullseye's adamanitum treating, such as Bullseye only having Adamantium lacing or reinforcement on his bones, as opposed to Wolverine having his bones wholly coated with the stuff. At one point it was theorized that Bullseye did have a low-grade healing factor of some sort in the Bendis run, but as far as I know that idea's been discarded. In any case, it's never been satisfactorily explained.

In the Kevin Smith (yuck) run Matt has a panel where he thinks "I'd heard rumors he'd reinforced his skeleton" and then kicks him which confirms what he heard as it hurt and stuff.

irlZaphod posted:Yes, and also in the film The Wolverine he didn't seem to be getting poisoned by the adamantium either, although he similarly was unfazed by being shot several times at point blank range so it's maybe not the best example of what would happen to Wolverine without his healing factor. The 90s show has the Savage Land nullify mutant powers. Wolverine goes "there's nothing mutant about these, bub" then screams in agony.

muscles like this? posted:Wasn't there someone else who had adamantium reinforcements too? Sabretooth once had a full adamantium skeleton because he shares Wolverine's healing factor. In fact when Wolverine lost his adamantium, Apocalypse gave it to Sabretooth then made Wolverine right him to get it back (it was the time Wolverine was replaaced by a Skrull who was killed by Apocalypse's horseman Death, who was actually the real Wolverine, because it was the 1990s). I think Hammerhead sometimes has an adamantium plate in his skull.

Genesis killed him by attacking him with flesh eating beetles to get his skin (full of adamantium) to give Wolverine a new Adamantium skeleton so he could be Death.

If wolverine's bones are coated with adamantium, how does his blood get to his bones to keep them alive, and how does his bone marrow get the blood platelets and stuff you need to live back into his bloodstream? Maybe it has holes where the blood vessels go in and out? Or I guess if you can heal from basically anything, maybe your bones constantly heal from being starved of blood and your body constantly heals from being cut off from your bone marrow.

After putting it off for too long I finally got around to reading Grant Morrison's New X-Men run, and while I really dug it overall, one thing that kind of bothered me was this curiously unexamined Orwellian element in how the heroes used telepathy. I felt a little creeped out by how far Charles, Jean, and Emma were willing to go in invading other people's thoughts, altering their personalities, and teaching their students how to do so -- I suppose it makes sense for Emma, who's supposed to be ethically ambiguous to begin with, and maybe it was Morrison's intention that I be creeped out a little, but I was a little surprised that a writer with such strong anti-tyranny, anti-conformist sensibilities would never directly address the fact that Charles Xavier was essentially a one-man NSA. Which brings me to my question: as someone with only a passing familiarity with X-Men comics, I know there have been stories like "Deadly Genesis" (which is also somewhere on my to-read list) that deal with Charles getting into some shady dealings and messing with the team's memories, but have there been any good stories that really examined the ethics of how much the telepaths within the X-Men interfere with other people's free will?

Although it was never directly stated, I thought the overall impression given was that ; it was incredibly invasive and that Professor X is more a do as I say not as I do type of guy. Dudes just incredibly unethical. Or maybe our baseline human morality doesn't apply to our homo superior brethren. Mister Nobody fucked around with this message at 19:02 on May 23, 2014 |

One of the things is that since Xavier was a Silver Age creation, his early appearances have him being extremely... flexible regarding the moral limitations on his powers, since it just wasn't considered as closely at the time. This, of course, has clashed with the repositioning him as a mutant MLK during the Claremont era on Uncanny X-Men, and so there has been some constant readjusting of his character of the years. The X-Men Legacy series from 2008 dealt with a premise of a brain-damaged Professor Xavier having to piece the story of his life together from the memories of others, and getting to relive all his mistakes and flaws from a more objective perspective. One of my favorite telepath bits was from the second X-Factor series which had to do with FBI agents investigating mutant cases, and there's a point in one of the final issues that one of the agents runs into Jean Grey for seemingly the first time, and then realizing she's been wiping his memories in order to take mutants to the school without interference, and is just like noooooo not again. Though the series itself wasn't particularly memorable, it was a great example of how the X-Men could come across as absolutely terrifying to normal humans.

I liked Deadly Genesis, but thought Brubaker's year on Uncanny was pretty bad. May be worth reading if you want to get into the cosmic stuff, but not really.

I believe Brubaker himself admitted he wasn't the best fit for the title.
