Ugly In The Morning posted:He's theoretically like a thermodynamic version of Magneto but that only gets explored rarely. Has he had any good what-ifs where they just go nuts with his powers? This is from pages ago, but there was a what if that went a little OP with iceman's powers. Gavok can probably correct me on stuff I'm getting wrong. IIRC it was a story where Juggernaut has killed everyone in the Marvel universe but for some reason he hasn't been able to take his revenge against Charles. After a lot of stomping around the countryside, he finds a giant wall of ice in a cave or something similar. After a short while, the ice wall tells him to gently caress off, because it's actually Iceman, making himself into a giant block of ice, big enough to seal off the mouth of a cave and also be several feet thick. Juggernaut, being a supreme dick, smashes through Bobby, killing him, naturally. Of course Charles is there along with maybe a few dozen people who were hiding out, not from Juggernaut, but some airborne super virus that was actually what killed everyone, not Juggsy. So now in the twist to the morality play that is the What If, Juggernaut has to forever walk the earth, completely alone.

mind the walrus posted:Scott Lobdell most likely discovered Shonen like DBZ where that poo poo is a common plot device Not to defend Scott Lobdell, but he was writing Generation X. A book about the latest class of Mutant children, growing up. Traditionally one of the biggest parts of X-books have been about characters learning how to control their powers, which is going to naturally lead to one or two cases of "don't you see. You are more powerful than you think you are!" The Jubilee part that I think everyone is talking about comes from the four part X-Men/Uncanny X-Men crossover that was setting up Generation X called the Phalanx Covenant. (While the X-Men have been kidnapped by the Phalanx; Banshee, Emma Frost and Sabertooth go to rescue a group of new mutants. Blink dies at the end.) During the story the big bad is defeated when Synch copies Jubilee's powers and blows it up. Jubilee is all "did I do that?" Synch is "no I did that with your powers." Jubilee gors :even better." So different person telling a character they can do more with their powers than they think, but it is coming from a mutant who can copy a nearby mutants powers and maybe use them at higher levels? Can't fully remember what Synch's full deal was. As for what Jubilee's powers are, while the cartoon displayed them as fireworks, it was just how a teenage Valley girl manifested the ability to make molecules explode. Her powers really would be hilariously lethal if she used them like that. Larry Hamma wrote a Wolverine story about her and Logan hunting down two criminals who killed Jubilee's parents and she is imagining how she is going to kill them with her powers. All the while Wolverine is trying to stop her from becoming a victim of violence and vengeance.

I mean,theres alot of powers where if the person had even a cursory knowledge of physics/chemistry, they could do so much with it. Like, It's Hal with a ring that can create whatever he imagines. So, he makes a giant fist to punch with.

There was also a relatively early Jubilee bit in the Acts of Vengeance issues for Uncanny X-Men, where she thinks Wolverine's died and lets rip with an explosion that tears the guts out of most of the building she's in.

John Dyne posted:"Cipher, you must listen to me. You are not using your full potential, and without it, all of mutantkind will be lost. Let me delve into your mind and remove the psionic blocks placed upon you by Xavier so you may unleash the TRUE power of linguistics upon the only Ultra Omega mutant on the planet and your only rival... Beak." You joke, but isn't this the kind of logic that led to Cipher becoming a master of martial arts because "something something body language"?

The Question IRL posted:Larry Hamma wrote a Wolverine story about her and Logan hunting down two criminals who killed Jubilee's parents and she is imagining how she is going to kill them with her powers. That was a really great little arc, I remember it involved them going back to the abandoned Outback HQ, which had probably only been abandoned for about three years in terms of publication dates, but which felt incredibly ancient and haunted to me as a little kid with practically no memory of that era.

Leth's Hellcat was so cute. I know it had its detractors on here when it was current and I had a hard time digesting more than 2-3 issues at a time but I think there was absolutely a space for that kind of low-key twee escapades type of book.

How Wonderful! posted:Yeah I don't know, her track record up to that point was, I believe, leading a team featuring the likes of the mighty Beef and then getting all of them killed. I liked her development throughout Gen X for what it was but I feel like any precedent of her being a pedagogical whiz or especially good mutant talent scout was just wishful thinking. Well, to be fair, at that point she was pretty much the only character who'd actually made an effort to run a mutant school as an actual school, rather than just throwing teenagers into the murder room every other day and saying it was 'training'. I mean, she wasn't great at it, but at least she was pretending to be an actual teacher.

Prior to Gen X, in New Mutants she was running a rival school for young mutants. They were basically the mutant equivalent of the Cobra Kai, but it was an actual school.

And look how that ended. Her team gets wiped out by mutant hunting killbots. Put down those text books and get back to the paramilitary training nerds. Man, I'm shitposting and realize that's exactly what Cable did to the New Mutants when he showed up.

A few questions. 1) Why did Emma blow up Firestar's horse? 2) How did Emma blow up Firestar's horse, she's a world class psychic, but not an explosives expert. 3) Why did Firestar even have a horse, she can fly while covered in flames, I feel like that cuts down on the desire to ride another animal.
