Any Exiles fans in the hizzy?

[Vanguard07]

I always wondered why Exhiles mimic could only take half of the powers of the people he imprinted he was supposedly the same person as the 616 mimic just from a different reality. 616 got the full powers of 5 super-humans (not just mutants) as well as the ability to temporarilly imprint others. Also he got some of their skills as well.

Exhiles mimic got a s****y deal by comparison.

 

[Colossal Spoons]

Still a cool arse power.

 

[Vanguard07]

I agree. But i still wonder about it. Oh and also 616 Mimic was a human who gave himself the mimic powers with a machine. Exhiles mimic was apparently a mutant with those powers so i guess that explains the difference.

But they both get sick while around Hulk

 

[Roughneck]

Really? When? He buffed himself up to ridiculous size against the Maestro, but he admitted that he was nowhere near as strong as he looked.

Figting with Hyperion....He got all huge and Spikey and strong.

 

[RAMORE]

Thats actually pretty impressive. Good job man

Thanks man

 

[Horrorfan]

I still have to pick up a few trades I think....the third one, a blink in time, and earn your wings. are they any good? what happens in them? Im hoping for more weapon x, loved the whole evil iron man arc.

 

[supermarvelman]

issues 26, 27 Hard Choices was a cool story arc, it was pretty brutal.

Figting with Hyperion....He got all huge and Spikey and strong.

He got spikey, but he was still entirely ineffective. I don't think his strength increases by much, if at all, when he shapeshifts himself larger, which is supported by his own mental commentary during the recent Maestro fight. If he managed to hurt Hyperion (I don't remember), my guess is that he shapeshifted spikes sharp enough to puncture Hyperion's skin with whatever minorly amplified strength he could put behind them. Same way the Black Knight's Ebony Blade was so sharp that he could stand it up on a block of steel and its own weight would make it cut through the block like butter.

I agree. But i still wonder about it. Oh and also 616 Mimic was a human who gave himself the mimic powers with a machine. Exhiles mimic was apparently a mutant with those powers so i guess that explains the difference.

I think the Exiles' Mimic's reduced power compared to the 616 Mimic, whatever the intent, actually fits with the character quite nicely. He had a personal crisis early on with the Exiles because, although he was the greatest hero his Earth had known, he quickly found that in other realities the situations were much harsher and he was nowhere near as effective. Basically, he found that his Earth was practically the cakewalk of the multiverse. I think the fact that his own power level is well beneath that of his 616 counterpart is just a brilliant (though probably unintentional, I admit) mirror in Exiles Mimic himself of the relatively easy life he'd led before joining the Exiles.

Really? When did that happen?

 

[supermarvelman]

Does anybody else think it sucks that 616 Psylocke might join the exiles

 

[TheCorpulent1]

I think just about everyone does. It was bad enough for TWO AoA characters to be on there, but a bona fide 616'er is just lame. Of course, any angst over Psylocke's joining pales in comparison to the angst over Claremont's joining.

Really? When did that happen?

Exiles #5:

It was because he unintentionally absorbs trace amounts of the extreme radiation the Hulk emits.

 

[supermarvelman]

Beak was okay on the team, but Psylocke is just stupid. If anybody from the 616 should be on the exiles it should be Nocturne since she isnt a real 616'er. They really need to start addressing some of the loose ends in Exiles. I'll never stop buying Exiles but they need to have it feel like it did back when it first started.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

I hated Beak on the team.

 

[supermarvelman]

I didnt care for him to much either.

 

[supermarvelman]

Weapon X's team where way better, the only Exiles I really like are Mimic, Blink and Morph, everybody else I could do without.

 

[Darth Hyperion]

At least beak was kind of interesting. The whole time he was on the team i was just waiting to see when he would prove himself. I just not feeling this current line up though, and now that morph might not come out of this alive they are really messing with the core of one of my favorite books. In the past when a new character was introduced they at least took the time to develop that character and give them some history so that if they died or was replaced you accuallly felt like the team had lost something. Now they've added so many new people without proper development that the only way to achive the since of loss is to kill off and place the only three core characters we accually care about in unnecessay danger.

 

[Horrorfan]

I kinda agree that I liked Beak being on the team, just to see how he would prove his worth...and I liked the way it was handled. It's what I love about Marvel, you don't have to be an uber powerful hero to save the day all the time.

I mostly like Claremont, though I have stayed clear of most of his newer stuff ( I AM digging his X Men: The End trilogy though). My biggest problem with him is he just brings obscure little characters and events no one cares about to the fore for no reason, and it adds nothing (ie in the x men 3 movie video game script, he shoehorned hydra into it, and lady deathstrike who was already killed off in the movie so her re-emergence is pointless). I don't wanna insult the guy , he gets enough crap as it is, but I do think there are better writers for the exiles (and plus Pyslock is a character I couldn't care less about).

Not to mention the 616 Longshot....I know there is technically onlt the one Longshot....But hi is the one that was on the 616 X-men.....Memories asside.

This is how the 616 Mimic died.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

From vomiting? I guess Exiles Mimic didn't get the raw deal after all.

 

[Tropico]

Well, if Claremont is bringing in Psylocke into the team during his run maybe it's to make sure that she stays dead after he killed her in X-Treme X-Men.

 

[supermarvelman]

Maybe 616 Mimic was a mutant but the machine activated his latent mutant powers, and maybe the reason he is so much more powerful than Exiles Mimic is because the machine enhanced his mutant abilities. If a normal human where to have used the machine they would have got powers anyway, but since Mimic was possibly a mutant the machine kicked his powers up to the next level, like if wolverine used it he would have a Deadpool level healing factor. His father created the machine maybe because Calvins X gene was dorment, and it needed something to kick start it.

 

[THANOSRULES]

But exiles Mimic had more of the "captain america' type qualities that elevate him to a naturally strong position.

He was a good leader, team player and strong character.

that is an "x" factor that can make him even more dangerous and important than 616 mimic.

he was a solid character..and i wish he comes back.

 

[Horrorfan]

It should be illegal to badmouth anything AOA related.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Why? AoA as a whole was good, but there was plenty of crap that came out of it.
