Marvel Now/ReEvolution Ongoing Discussion (Spoilers)

[Guy Gardener]

I want to see the moment where Cable calls Jean "Mom".



Hank replaced the original X-Men with dopplegangers before taking them out of time.

Hank plans on eventually wiping the original X-Men's memories and returning them at some point.

Hank collected the original X-Men from a parallel time line that is not the 616 continuity and doesn't have to return them, and their removal has no effect on the 616 present.

[Admiral_Young]

That is if Nathan even appears in the book...we might not see him until Cable and X-Force begins in Feb.

[Guy Gardener]

Cable was in something last month, he gave Hope a pep talk when she was all glum.

Which could have just been a psychotic break for all we know?

[Admiral_Young]

That was "AVX: Consequences #5" and that conversation set up "Cable and X-Force" of which Hope will be a member with her father.

Thor: God of Thunder #1 was pretty much everything I expected...meaning it was awesome. I'll be following this.

When/where/what issue number did Old Hank timeslide

If I recall correctly, Bendis said in an interview that it was sometime within the first ten or so issues.

[Guy Gardener]

At that pedigree, entry level characters, even Power Pack could kick their ass.

Although in my mind Jack Power could take out a tag team effort from Wolverine and the Hulk.

[OdoWanKenobi]

Someone needs to give John Cassaday a swift kick in the ass. You can always count on a book he draws to be delayed and delayed and delayed. His art is fantastic, but my god man, learn to meet your deadlines!

[Mr Light]

I didn't read Astonishing X-Men at the time but was that horrifically delayed?

FF #1 was just alright for me. Av Ass #9 was also pretty ho-hum. With Bendis gone it already feels like a superfluous book.

There were some pretty big delays that were irritating at the time.

Sounds about right, since Jean is wearing the standard mask and not the pointy one from later issues.

Those entry level characters defeated Magneto in their first outing.

[Guy Gardener]

Magneto couldn't or was pretending that he couldn't fly in the beginning... Is that right?

In flash backs I know he flew away with tall hat Nazi gold he stole off Strucker 20 years before the founding of the X-Men, but Claremont didn't have to worry about continuity when he wrote that... There was also another prequel/parallel story I read once where Magneto and Charles were having a conversation during that fight about how much/little he thought of Xaviers students. It was all for show. An introduction.

And really, Magneto was trying to recruit, becuase what's the point of making a mutant nation if you only have 5 mutants in your brotherhood?

That was the taking over of a small south American Country?

Good lord, Magneto can't have been bringing anything close to his A game if Toad was riding Shot Gun.

It's almost like he thought the X-Men sucked, and collected an equivilent counterforce to enforce the nature of fair play and zero sum.

Does anyone think that Toad and Paige Guthry getting it on (In Wolverine and the X-Men) is kind of grotty becuase he's a decade at least older than she is, and TOAD?

[Admiral_Young]

Yes the Toad and Paige story line is pretty icky, but then it's supposed to be.

[Turtletrekker]

X-Men 8. Now who will stop Unus the Untouchable?

[Guy Gardener]

Until Paige, I thought that Toad was Untouchable Too.

He spent his first half dozen appearances hitting the Scarlet Witch, i have no idea why magneto or Quicksilver didn't castrate him, even though continuity wise it's dodgy as to whether Eric knew those two where his children.

Cassady's lateness is a known factor.

I think the blame lays in the editor who gave him the gig despite this. Bet it was the same genius who put Marc Silvestri on Aaron's Hulk.
