I'm going to remember this in 4 months.

Did you guys forget about that? I guess you did!

I certainly did.

Ignore my my post about the 3 three character minimum.

Stupid double post!

You'd know how to prevent this if you read X-Club. But instead, you're dumb and don't appreciate the power of science.




Have you read Atomic Robo and his Action Scientists? It's the same kind of humor as that.

Damn I should have looked into it before I said I would.

Remind me in four months Moses!

X-Club right?

I'm waiting for the last issue to release before I load the set on my iPad to read.

Don't do it Poker, stay strong with me and together we will fight the wave of X-Club love that Moses and Forehead have!

Plus I'll bring punch and pie.

Too late. I got the first four issues like last week when Moses told me to.

He was very convincing. It was like listening to Captain America tell you to go get them nazis!

Well have you read them? If not you can delete them and make a bigger statement.

I'm not wired that way.

If they suck terribly I will, but if I got them, I have to read them.

Besides, if they suck and I read them because of him, I can complain about it. Win/Win.

Okay Poker read them and then tell him they suck and that Dr. Nemesis will never be as cool as Beast.

Do it!

I'd like to see an All Star "Science Squad" limited series book.

Beast
Hank Pym
The Bearded Ballchinian Stark
Reed Richards

and a couple others. You need a "good guy with a bad attitude" type though and none of those fit it. Perhaps this Dr. Nemesis has a niche to fill?

I'll trade your Stark and Reed for:

Valerie Richards
Victor von Doom
Beast
Dr. Nemesis

And I guess Pym could be there.

That would be gold. To get Doom, and to get him to cooperate, you need Valeria there. I love the dynamic going in FF with the kids and him.

You don't need to wait until it finishes, Poker. Read one issue right now and tell us what you think.

That's another one, coxxy. You need to be reading FF. If you like the Wolverine kids, you'll like FF.

Yeah, FF and Fantastic Four are really good.

I don't get why we're trading out two smarter guys than Doom for Doom and Valeria?

Because Reed is BUSY.

And Valeria is basically Reed, just in a tiny girl form.

Plus Nemesis + Doom would be so much fun.

The trades for FF out yet? I could get that.

Dude, I don't even know what X-Club is, I'm still reading through Fear Itself(I haven't touched the pile in like two months, such is my coursework load).

You guys are gonna have a science squad and not have Spider-man? I'd take Moses team and swap Spider-man with Hank Pym. Maybe have Stark turn up every now and then.

Woah. How is Jon posting without saying anything? Kidding, I know exactly how he's doing it.

Some of 'em.

It's worth grabbing all issues of that (all by Jonathan Hickman), as well as all Fantastic Four by Hickman.

I never got into Fantastic Four pre-Hickman, but he's made it great, especially Johnny Storm.

He's on enough teams!

But yeah, I'd do that too. Peter Parker at Horizon Labs has been great fun for the character.

What's with the funny symbols when we do size 0 text?

Yes. Only in the Preview and Topic Review windows. Maybe I need to logout and back in. I don't have the + and - signs on the right either.

Me neither. I think it's only mods who do.

Logging off and on didn't help. I had them during the game (and even used them) but now they're gone.

I don't get the symbols or all the blank posts.


Someone please explain.


Just occured to me...0 size text.

duh

I never had them either, but the powers that be are using the heck out of them it seems.

We should have volunteered to help out with the game, rather than play. We could be infamying it up in this joint!

Gambit in the 90s animated series is one helluva badass.

You'd better believe it, petit.

Maybe it's because I grew up in the south...but I always loved Gambit. But I guess I really do have a soft spot for that 90s core group.

Blue: Cyclops, Wolverine, Gambit, Jubilee, Beast, Psylocke and Rogue
Gold: Storm, Bishop, Archangel, Jean Grey, Colossus and Iceman

I first started seriously collecting/reading comics in the 80s. So, for me its: Wolverine, Beast, Colossus, Nightcrawler, Kitty Pride, Mohawk Storm, Forge (for some reason, I really liked him. Put him on your super science nerd team!)

Isn't Magneto like...85? Why is Rogue getting up on that?

There was a storyline (70s or early 80s maybe) where he was transformed into a baby then later returned to his prime. This may have happened more than once, if I recall. So, while he's old as dirt, physically he's not so old.

I definately recall the "Joseph" faze in the 90s and I'm pretty sure it happened way before that, at least once, as well. I also recall him being reduced to the state of an infant and placed in, I think Moira MacTaggert's care for a short while. I'm pretty sure that was in the 70s.
