Yeah, and never in my mind can I picture Scott with Ororo. They're like oil and water.

Well, the new Ororo sure doesn't seem like the type to fit with Hank, yet with the exception of his insecurities those two went together pretty well. Despite the new clothes and haircut, you have to remember that the Storm you're seeing now is basically the same one we've had since the beginning, regardless of what the writers would like you to think. And in the beginning at least, Ororo and Scott were pretty friendly. He is the guy that got her to use her powers in the first place, after all.

Along with her looks and, apparently, parentage, Jean's age is another of the things about her that the writers can't seem to agree on. In the opening arc, Wolverine said she was 19. In Hellfire & Brimstone, Xavier said she was 18. Strangely enough, this was Mark Millar contradicting himself!

ill just put that down to wolvie being wrong or in denile cos he wanted it so bad lol

 

[Havok83]

I hate Kirkman's Storm. She is bland, boring and completely useless.

 

[javon]

probly so it didnt freak people out that she was ( i wanna say 16 lol) and logan is 100+ lol

Yeah thats what I figured, still didn't make people *forget* that she was a teenager

 

[UraniaChang]

But have you read any of Min's Elk River Saga? That's what sold me on S/O to begin with, and it's just a shame she never got around to writing the final, post-Weapon-X parts.

Not yet, cause everytime I get on her site, I keep re-reading 'Grail' and 'Special: The Genesis of Cyclops', I'm so obsessed with the Jean/Scott/Warren relationship.

I suppose that was you summing up her "romantic" plotline? t:

Ah, I see. You should definitely get around to it sometime. I love her comics work, even if it is primarily Ultimate-verse.

Is anyone as excited as me that Ro is FINALLY going to get her very own storyline about her being afraid the dark/Shadow King/mysterious past thingy after six years?

Yeeeaa! Let's hope it don't suck like the rest of Kirkman's stories for her. Oh wait, he hasn't written anything for anyone outside of the burnt out trio.

Im not. Kirkman's Storm sucks and I really wish she would go away

So how does everyone feel the new team will set a better tone for the book?

 

[Cdnmouse]

All I can really say is I am hoping for the best. I dont mind the current tone of the book an di do see it changing a bit, but not all that much. To get a new tone I think they need a different writer. But Overall I am looking forward to the new team. I like the old team but it never hurts to have a little bit of change. And by doing this they are going to get a chance to look at some of the background characters more. I mean Storm has been more of a backgroud character for the longest time, and now I think we will get to see her built up alot more. Specially with all this Shadow King forshadowing.

Compared to how the book had been dragging up through the Cable arc, absolutely I think this can't be anything except a good thing for Ult. X-Men. Although I don't want them to forget about Scott and the others (obviously), and I must admit I would have liked to see a focus on Emma's students. After all, right now she and Scott are sharing the same outlook. There's no reason there shouldn't be some cooperation between the two, and it would finally allow us to see some real interaction between the Summers brothers. The tension is already in place, and with Scott pushing pacifism, and Alex wanting mutants to get out and get involved, I don't see these two reconciling anytime soon.

Always like Summers brothers relationship...though I wonder whether or not they would get along better if one of them were girl.

Wow wouldn't that change they dynamic huh? I really think it would be worse. At that point you would have too much interaction cause you would have the brother looking out for the sister and beating up her bad boyfriends lol. And I really can't picture either as a chick...

I can picture Scott being an overprotective brother if Alex were a girl (a really hot-tempered girl)...but if Scott were the sister and Alex is the brother...hard to imagine, but probably would be entertaining.

 

[Cdnmouse]

I would buy the book it took place in thats for sure.

And I am thinking with Scott kind of out of the picture now that Emma Frost's School of Mutants will be alot more in your face with the new
X-Men team. Or at least I am hoping so.

All I know is he'd better not be 'out of the picture' for long. Apparently Kirkman wants to replace Morrison as my most despised writer. After all the crap he's taken from Xavier, Scott finally gets a chance to step up and shine and he gets pushed to the background?

 

[UraniaChang]

I am more inclined towards that Scott is carrying on Xavier's dream with a peaceful way and he and the others will have their story (even recruit new mutants will still get them into trouble), and Bishop's team is carrying on Xavier's dream by fighting the evil mutants, I'm not sure that if Emma's students will play a part or not.

I don't know why Marvel hasn't thought about doing something with them... The group at the Academy for Tomorrow has a ton of potential and hasn't been uber-screwed up by the Ultimate line's terrible writers yet! t:

it's going to be different, but good. also, they're (seemingly) based in australia...and as far as locations go, it doesn't get much better than that

Yeah I wouldn't mind seeing a tussle or two with Emma's Group. And with the apparent breaking up of the X-Men I think Emma will get the idea that her students can pick up the mantle....Yes this probably won't happen but you never know.

Oh and a better place to have Ult. X-Men taking place...Good Old Canada

I want the ultimate psylocke back!!!!!
