Recently I made this postGrem posted:Like a whole book about how Quicksilver doesn't like standing in lines at the ATM? Pass. in the DC thread that references X-Factor 87.  The comic is engraved in my brain as a childhood memory. There are so many of these mid-90s comic scenes just stuck in there that I can't forget. Anyone else have these unforgettable and really ultimately unimportant memories? What are they?!

I remember way too much about the Age of Apocalypse, and I haven’t read it since the nineties. Jay and Miles recaps have been filling in the bits I didn’t remember.

Another panel I keep remembering is Cyclops being shocked Storm got hit by lightning and telling Professor X that he thought Storm was immune to weather. Professor X then berates the absolute poo poo out of him for saying something so dumb, asks if he thought she didn't get wet in the rain.

Grem posted:Recently I made this post That issue always sticks out for me from my youth, probably because it was so....different. When I think of other comics that are engraved on my brain I have The Dark Knight: Blades - mostly because of the beautiful lush artwork and what a young Madkal thought it was the pinnacle of a love story. I also for some reason had that one X-Men issue where Jean Grey's arm are tentacles in my brain. I guess mostly for how weird it was.

I have some X-Men issue in my mind where it turns out the X-Men vs X-Men conflict has all been a simulated wargame and Wolverine extends his claw to tag Xavier on the forehead and Cyclops tells him to back off. And then somehow someone was turned to stone, I think? Because something to do with Magneto on Asteroid M? It's very vague in my head, not sure why it's stuck with me.

Cartoonist kayfabe just put out a video with it which is the only reason I knew that right away.

X-Men #1, a comic I also read a million billion times when I was a kid. My brother and I each had a copy because the comic shop my dad stopped at on his way home from work was doing a giveaway or something, and both of us toted it around so much that the covers just shredded to dust after awhile.  I think if I close my eyes and try to really viscerally remember what the early 90s felt like a lot of it would be the chunky heft of this specific issue, the feeling of rolling it up and shoving it in a back pocket, the smell of the paper stock etc., and the memory of reading it at a public pool in that kind of heavy, chlorine-y summer air.

I have never seen this but this is the funniest mental image because I'm legit imagining Xavier going to town ripping on Scott here. I'm cackling at my desk.

I wish I could find the panels somewhere. He goes down a bunch of weather events, like "did you think she doesn't get bruised by hail? Did you think she didn't get wet in rain?" It was played straight but I still chuckle about Xavier just being absolutely pissed about how wrong Cyclops was.

I hadn't realized it until somebody pointed it out, but Chris Cooper, the birdwatching guy who got targeted by the racist lady in Central Park yesterday, is the same Chris Cooper who wrote the under-rated Darkhold series for Marvel in the early 90s, as well as a bunch of other comics credits and LGBT activism.

Huh, weird, I'd never thought about that before, that Xavier gave the X-Men their code names. Poor Beast! Do they ever explore that in the comics? Or even address a mutant choosing their own name?

His sister who was also there wrote some comics too, I think. It sucks they were in that situation yesterday, but fortunately the racist lady's the only one who got in trouble.

The three of them are stuck in the Antarctic tundra, and Cyclops is surprised that Storm has gone into shock. Turns out her body is raising its temperature to compensate for the cold, and she's overheating.

Xavier gave her the name Sprite, and she’s fine with it as long as nobody makes any jokes about the pop. The name didn’t last a single panel before becoming a joke. This is right around the same time Wolverine switches to the tan costume with the explanation of that he felt like it. Not that there’s anything wrong with that, but I had it built up in my head that the costume change was going to have a reason. EDIT: Just realized you’re probably talking about the Arial name and the accompanying costume.

One more post to remind people to sign up for the comics fantasy draft: https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3924491 Make up a company, pick creators, talk about them.

DC been saying the right things in regards to the protests and that is heartening to see. It's nice to see the publisher of Superman smashes the Klan. Actually back it up.
