From one of the alternate reality Excalibur specials, I think it's Weird War III which is mostly about Xavier being more evil then Hitler and the Red Skull together.

From Doom Patrol #34, Monsieur Mallah and the Brain break into the Doom Patrol's base to steal Robot Man's new body and discuss philosophy. Robot Man is currently having his body worked on, but everyone stepped out for lunch, so he's just a blind and deaf ol' jar of brain. Also this was probably for the best as his body achieved sentience and was debating about whether he should kill Robot Man so he could maintain free will. Also there's kissing.

He's got a good character arc throughout the Wolverine/Spiderman and the X-men stuff as an immature brat who slowly grows up. Before that I guess he was basically a wannabe mutant terrorist?

Oh it wasn't anything so dramatic.

Count Nefaria tried to take control of Norad with his ani-pals. The X-men promptly routed them, and while running away, Thunderbird jumped on Nefaria's jet and punched it so hard it exploded, killing him.

Close! His wings were damaged by the Marauders who worked for Mister Sinister during the Mutant Massacre event. Sinister was later revealed to have worked with Apocalypse in the past but was, as of the time of the Mutant Massacre, a free agent. The bit with Cameron Hodge is correct, and the metal winged Archangel eventually cut off Hodge's head because of it. (Hodge got better.)

How soon after was it revealed that Sinister was clone souping the reavers anyway? Because at the time, them driving Colossus to kill one of them was a huge character development for him.

Not a funny panel, outside of Riptide's face and that he's menacing a scrub named Harpoon but:

Sure, but a lot of them are going to rely on his superhuman strength and agility, and without his spider-sense warning you about danger his high risk acrobatic fighting is probably less practical than just training the guy like another human combat expert.

As I recall she had effectively zero fighting ability and could fly (her ability was to slow down people around her, so such luminaries as Wildside and Reaper could gently caress them up). So she was really working those glamour muscles for no good reason.

That team also featured a guy named Sumo, who was just a Japanese blob, Kamikaze, who had the ability to fly really fast into sharp objects once and Zero, a teleporting real doll Stryfe brought with him from the future.

How the gently caress does Golden Buckethead fit into this clearly themed team?

I don't think there was any kind of theme to them other then they had 3 Japanese members to go along with a bunch of 90's rear end roster fillers.

There were:

Tempo
Wildside - An extremely image comics scrapper.
Reaper - A juggalo with a scythe.
Forearm - He had four arms and existed so other big heroes had someone to punch.
Sumo
Kamikaze
Dragoness - Another Japanese lady. Could fly, and was a dragon furry.
Strobe - She also wore gold armor and could melt stuff
Thumbelina - She was short and squat and could shrink and had an even shittier brother who was on one of Mister Sinister's teams. By actually mentioning having a brother I think she had more characterization then the rest of them combined.
Zero - a mute android who teleported them around

all under the leadership of Stryfe - The dumbest outfit ever attached to a clone of Cable who... oh my god he sucks

Was it as hilarious as it sounds?

Pretty much, there's a page before this where he's flying at Archangel expounding about how he japanese stereotypes about honorable combat, but...



Yeah, Archangel didn't even notice he iced the guy. This was from somewhere in the middle of X-Cutioner's Song

See I was trying to imagine him having to stop and figure how to pull his mid thigh high boots up every five minutes when they start rolling down his leg. Alternatively how he deals with wedgies, because that costume looks like a wedgie machine.

I just imagine like most supers they have to spend a solid 30 minutes applying double sided tape whenever they suit up.

Also has Razorfist ever hung out with Master Pandemonium? Do they ever just sit around talking about how much they appreciate bidets?
