Comics Official ULTIMATE X-MEN Discussion Thread

You know. I used to think Gambit got shafted by appearing only twice, was ruined as a character, then killed off in the Ultimate universe, but after seeing whats been going on, I'm starting to wonder if he was the lucky one after all.

 

[Colossal Spoons]

Yeah, I know lol

 

[javon]

The rest of the X-Men are still there. That's just Colossus' team--the group that's going to get Northstar back.

Ah man, I wanted Dazzler to stay with the old team.

 

[Colossal Spoons]

I want Dazzler to go away

Why couldn't they have made her the druggie, she already looks like one

For this storyline, I was actually thinking that the best candidates for Banshee users among the X-Men were Dazzler and Colossus, given what little history we've given about each member. I guess Piotr just drew the short straw or something.

 

[javon]

But Dazzlers powers were already getting upgraded. I wanted to see how she's follow along with the team.

Can the U Universe be crappier?

Now it seems that [blackout]the mutant gene was created from Wolverine, so every mutant actually owes their powers to him[/blackout], how crappy is that?

All them folk still at the mansion have gone completely f%#$*n nuts.

Why do other X-Men even exist? Wolverine is the end all, be all.

Forget the X-men... according to Wolvie's own series, he can outlive all the superheroes in the universe.

 

[terry78]

They may as well just start calling every X-book "Wolverine and Friends." Oh wait, the new cartoon is already doing that.

Ugh

 

[Mogwai]

so, wolverine is 'en sabah nur'?

 

[Colossal Spoons]

Don't say that

 

[Czar Colossus]

I used to like Wolverine a lot more, but it's getting harder and harder. The way so many in the industry are giving him the "Monica Luinsky" treatment is nauseating! When Wizard named him the greatest character of all time I though I'd puke. There is no way he should be ahead of Superman, Batman, Spider-man, or Captain America!

 

[Colossal Spoons]

I've been enjoying 616 Wolverine a bit more lately. Ultimate Wolvie is meh.

Wolverine is at least 50000x better than Batman in every way possible though

 

[squeekness]

Seriously. Don't give the writers any more bad ideas, they are doing fine coming up with crap all on their own.

I wouldn't call this current storyline "crap"... It actually got me reading this book again (as long as they maintain all of these x-characters). The last time I picked it up was when they introduced that whole Sinister/Apocalypse story.

Do you mind explaining why? I'm not a Batman fan (I only watched Batman Begins and thought it was enjoyable), but I have a hard time believing him being worse than Wolverine.

 

[squeekness]

I like Batman and Wolverine both. They have many good and bad qualities to them both.

 

[Colossal Spoons]

- He likes to spend long hours in a dark cave with little children(some of which, he's sewn sequined underpants for.) I find that weird.

- He has no powers of any kind. I like powers

- He has like 3.5 friends. I like friends.

All jokes aside, he could not bore me more. Wolverine may be overexposed but Bruce is about as entertaining as taking a test He beats people he has no business beating. Even with Kryptonite, how does Superman just not fly right through his head? Ugh :

 

[Czar Colossus]

I understand that sometimes the insinuation that Batman should stand up to certain heroes is daunting, but I find with Batman that his greatest asset (along with his intelligence) is that he creates the perception that he can stand up to anyone; and as they say perception is reality. To a certain degree it's true. Batman knows Superman, Wonder Woman and many others would "SPANK" him and in some instances they have, but he knows that he is out classed and he has always got to be the most that he can be to stand among and sometimes command god-like beings.
In Wolverine's case Marvel has their lips secured so firmly to his ASS, that they are on the verge of making him damn near omnipotent! All roads seem to lead to Wolverine. He should never be able to stand up to Hulk in a fight and now he's essentially immortal. It's one thing to increase in power or mature over time but Wolverine gets waaaay more TLC than anyone. Whether you are a fan of the likes of Superman, Batman, Spider-man, Captain America, Wonder Woman, even Captain Marvel etc. in the history of comic characters he is not as ground breaking as they are. Batman was bad-ass long before Wolverine and he does it without super powers. Who you like is a matter of opinion. No one can deny that Wolverine has a huge fan club, but to insinuate that he is the greatest character of all time is obscene. I'm a huge KISS fan, but I know historically that they are not (technically) the greatest band of all time. Hell; I'm just glad Colossus made the list (tough I'd have been P.O.ed if he didn't.) (And in Batman's defense Logan seems to have penchant for little girls. Does he hang out with R. Kelly?)

Marvel did us a great favour when they killed off Jean and have kept her dead for a while now. I liked her as a character but you really could develop her any further.

They should do the same with Wolverine, have him disappear for a couple of years shoot him into space on his own and let him have his own adventures for a while or something.

Absence does make the heart grow fonder.

Batman creeps me out, what with his "EVERYONE MUST FACE JUSTICE AHHHHHH" personality.
