OK so code name change for Angel then time for Warren to become Beak. Interesting someone took his birdlike physiology and ran with that.

 

[Venom160]

eh it won't be permanent Gen Lee.

 

[Generation Lee]

I can hope lol.

 

[Havok83]

And Ultimate Angel gets even lamer than before by now becoming the Ultimate version of Beak, one of the lamest X-characters ever. The guy continues to suck

 

[MattThomasM2B]

Wow, I'm shocked. I come in here expecting to hear about some crossover event or special that bridges the canyon between 93 and 94 but it's nowhere to be found. Jean's had the shortest intergalactic journey ever and Nightcrawler's on good terms with the X-Men again. Cyclops' peaceful school plans go out the window in a flash. The status quo gets forced back together just so it can be blown apart by Colossus the druggie.

Wow, that's Angel 'roided out? I thought it was some other mutant or something.

 

[ProfeZZor X]

Uhh...Bobby's not dead, right?

No, Beast patches him up... and gives nods to his vast potential.

 

[ProfeZZor X]

Nightcrawler is kind of like Blink now...
Looks like Rogue doesn't need physical contact anymore...
I expected Angel to look like a Griffin of some kind, not an eagle...
And who knows what the hell those insect legs are doing sticking out of her shoulders...

Regardless, I can't wait to see what the others look like on Babshee. Especially Iceman. I just hope they do something different with his appearance, like convert him into a water or mist form. Even a hulkier and jagged version of him wouldn't be that bad.

I like it too. I really don't understand what the big fuss is about. Wasn't it not that long ago that most of the people here were *****ing that this book was becoming too much like 616 and didn't have enough differences? Well, here's your perfect one: Colossus doesn't automatically have superstrength. Don't like it? Well, you're not writing it so don't ask for something then ***** when it's not to your liking. A situation like this is a perfect representation for putting this universe in a world like our own. Why wouldn't there be some kind of drug out like this to upgrade mutant powers and why wouldn't some people use it for various reasons, good and bad? Yes, Colossus is using a drug, but he's not using it to hurt himself or hurt others, he's using it to try and fight evil. This whole thing is setting up for what could be a very interesting debate on the whole drug angle, so why don't all you complainers wait and see how this all plays out before you call for the new writer's head already.

For once I actually agree with you. ...

Same here. I haven't picked up this title since the introduced Mister Sinister. This book has gone so down hill for me that I couldn't bring myself to investing in such crap. I could understand keeping the core characters and introducing newer Ultimate versions of other x-characters in various storylines, but when Bishop takes the X-Men over and Kurt becomes king of the Morlocks, then I have to focus on some other book that make more sense - which is why X-Men First class took it's place (in my books). I mean looking back to the first 30 (maybe 40) issues of this book and it actually works for me. Anything after that is just hodge podge from a writer that just wants a paycheck.

 

[Obsidian Idea]

I don't think the other X-men are going to take the drug. If I remember one of the solicits right, the other X-men are going to get into it with Colossus's team after they confront Alpha Flight...

 

[javon]

Wait...what happened in 94? Why does everyone look different? Can someone give me a vast summary?

They took a drug called banshee which alters mutant powers. Those characters all got a boost

 

[squeekness]

I just realized that Rogue has feathers on her arms in the picture. Wierd.

Also, her skin looks metallic (Colossus) while her eyes are glowing (Nightcrawler). I'm guessing she's like Peter Petrelli now--she just sucks in all the mutant powers around her.

 

[Venom160]

Shes' absorbed their abilities before, well Nightcrawler's and Angel's anyway. I think what Banshee did to her was give her control over her power, allowing her to call forth abilities that shes absorbed.

Which effectively makes her almost unstoppable.

There's a reason that they never let her have complete recall in the 616-verse for too long... It created a mega deus ex machina. Rogue could whomp just about anyone.

I seriously doubt that. Every mutant in the X-Men line up has a weakness that can be exploited by another X-Man one way or another. Look at the Super Skrull... How many times has he been beaten by the FF?

and 616 Rogue sucked when she was able to recall every power she had. I was happy when she was depowered following that

It only works if Rogue was a villain, otherwise she will become another Phoenix that we absolutely don't need.

On top of that, there is no way she could even match Pandemic when he was powered up. I think he was a better thinking man in terms of utilizing each of those recalled powers than Rogue probably ever could be. A scientist versus a southern belle... you decide. It was unfortunate that he was depowered, but if given a second chance, I'm sure he would be smart enough not to let the same mistakes happen again... Rogue on the other hand...

 

[javon]

What's Dazzler's powers now?

 

[chamber-music]

So ultimate Colossus is a gay drug addict........... awesome

 

[Mogwai]

apparently she can form her light powers into solid objects.

 

[Mogwai]

but all he wants to be is a hero.

 

[Generation Lee]

And yet I cannot stop liking him, it maybe caused by drugs but his a kick-ass powerhouse IMO.
