Comics Official ULTIMATE X-MEN Discussion Thread

[Superbeasto]

Well, Ultimate Nightcrawler was part of the Weapon X program which makes him a little more rough around the edges than 616 Nightcrawler. He's been going through some bad times, emotionally, because Colossus, whom Nightcrawler was good friends with, revealed to Nightcrawler that he is gay. Anyway, Nightcrawler was kind of at a loss and he found solace in Dazzler, who was lying in the hospital in a coma.

Spoiler

In the Annual, we find out that he kidnapped her from her hospital bed and took her to some cave with no exit, and lied to her about it. He wanted to force her to spend time with him so that she might fall in love with him. Then he got caught, and the entire team fought him and Rogue finally subdued him by touching him, which is why you get to the end where she says that she was in his head.

I hope that was clear enough.

Thanks, he is not a monster, he is just lonely

It goes a bit beyond that... I think it's supposed to extend into his perceptions of good and evil and whatnot, from his Weapon X days. Mind you, Ultimate Rogue was Weapon X too, so her calling him a monster is saying a lot.

 

[Sub-Zero]

i wonder if that cereal thing kirkman was talking about was real or just a joke?

 

[triplefive]

Well he said he was joking about the stick of gum... I'm going to guess it was a joke, because that would be SO random.

 

[Balian]

Just finished reading the annual, for a change I actually liked Larroca's art.
Except for the little thing telling how the Magician arc ended (thanks for that Marvel) I found it to be pretty good.

 

[Colossal Spoons]

I still don't see where it spoiled the Magician arc..

 

[triplefive]

I think it depends on when the Annual takes place.. before or after the arc. Right? That's the only thing I could see it "spoiling".

 

[Balian]

I still don't see where it spoiled the Magician arc..

Well I think it clearly suggests Wolverine killed the guy.

 

[triplefive]

OH. I didn't really read into that scene, I don't know why. But now I see it. You might want to spoiler tag that by the way.

 

[La The Darkman]

Well I FINALLY read the annual, and I actually rather liked it. I guess I'm one of the few that felt bad for Nightcrawler (althought the last scene with Rogue does make it a bit harder). I wished the 616 Xmen kicked as much butt as the ultimate version, the 616 Xmen tend to be on the bad side of butt whoopings these days.

 

[Colossal Spoons]

It's been said a bunch of times before too.

Read Uncanny and the most recent Adjectivelss issue?

 

[La The Darkman]

Read Uncanny and the most recent Adjectivelss issue?

Yeah, the Uncanny team is kicking but as of right now (especially Rachel and Warpath), the Adjectivless team is up in the air IMO, other than Rogue and Cable they've been getting their butts kicked, and I don't even think I have to explain what going on in Astonishing. lol

 

[Colossal Spoons]

Yeah, we don't talk about AXM.

 

[Sub-Zero]

is astonishing really that bad?

 

[La The Darkman]

is astonishing really that bad?

No, Astonishing is still really good (althoght the delays/gap between issues do take away from the overall enjoyment) but that team always seems to be getting their butts kicked, they've yet to just cleanly beat the crap out of someone.

**EDIT**
They did kinda beat down Ord the second time they came across him.

 

[Sub-Zero]

oh. ok...so when is this cable issue for ultxm coming out?

 

[Bastila]

where was that then?

The cable arc starts after the next issue.

The cable arc starts after the next issue.

The conversation between Xavier and Logan, to me it was definitely suggesting Wolverine killed the kid.

 

[Bastila]

I will go re-read this then.

 

[Balian]

I will go re-read this then.

Xavier says something like 'do you regret what you done' and the whole conversation pretty much says Wolvie did something pretty bad, imaginably killing the guy.

 

[Max J Power]

Has Ultim. Nightcrawler ever once suggested he's in anyway religious?

No, I don't think he has.

 

[Colossal Spoons]

Think he could have been talking about Ult Wolverine vs Hulk?

 

[Wolverazio]

Think he could have been talking about Ult Wolverine vs Hulk?

No, since Ultimates 2 shows that Hulk survives his encounter with Wolverine. (it's not out yet but Hulk was on the cover)

 

[Balian]

Think he could have been talking about Ult Wolverine vs Hulk?

I don't think so man.
By the way, liking the avatar of the Jiggaman.
