Omega Flight!!!!!

Oh, OK. The Emoball thing still annoys me.

It doesn't bother me that much really, what annoys me the worst is that he's so vehemently against taking responsibility for all the deaths and taking the blame and then suddenly, after taking so many beatings and being disowned by his parents etc. he decides to accept it and puts on that Voldo rip-off of a costume.
 
My money is on Talisman coming to Sasquatch aid, as she turned down Walter's offer to join Omega Flight. Might be the reason she joins up with him.
 
Yeah I know that's not what I meant by comparing the two, I meant they both have something to make up for. Pointer isn't a mass murderer technically either, he was being possesed by the collective. But they both have innoncent people's lives on their conscience and feel they have to make up for it, IMO Pointer going about it in an ALOT more normal way.


Technicalities are faulty arguments. Best left for rapists who have nothing else to lose in their cases.
 
I don't even see why they had him in jail, it wasn't his fault. I mean, in a world with guys like the Controller and Dr. Faustus, there's gotta be a legal precedence where you aren't responsible for what you do while under mind control or being possessed by homicidal energy beings. He didn't even know he was a mutant. One day he's living his crappy life, living in freakin' Alaska of all places. Where it's night for like six months outta the year, and seventy two guys to every woman, and the next he's possessed by a buncha sentient mutant powers, and killing Canadians over here. He doesn't have to redeem himself. He's just as much a victim as much as everybody else in this mess.
 
Probably because the legal system is ill-equipped to handle certain realities within the Marvel universe. Pointer's is the body that was left after the Collective was defeated, so he's the one they charge, regardless of the fact that his mind wasn't his own. Although, to be fair, I suspect the reason Department H is allowing him to atone as Guardian is because they know he wasn't really responsible. I don't think they'd allow a willfully mass-murdering psychopath onto their national superhero team. It's not like they're Tony Stark or anything.

Errr, wouldn't that actually be character development? I.e. all the people hating him convinces him to take responsibility?

But that's not why he did it, if he was convinced by all the people hating him he wouldn't of been so defiant as to not sign the registration act and rot in prison. If he was convinced he wouldn't of paraded around in his Speedball costume before getting shot. Him getting shot and then the pain thing kinda changed him.. for the worse IMO.

I didn't see it as character development because he didn't develop much at all.
 
I thought he changed his mind because he realized that his powers were activated by pain now, which was like a sign to him that he needed to atone for all the pain he'd inadvertently caused others. Granted, I didn't read past the first issue of Frontline.
 
I just read #1 and it's damn enjoyable. In fact I'd go as far as to say it's easily trumps Mighty Avengers #1.
 
Kolins art when he did the vision of Talisman was incredible. I was shocked it was Kolins.

Damn, seriously, its weird, but you couldnt just say the issue was awesome while not trying to put down a Bendis title? Seriously?
 
I'm sorry, my therapist say's i'm getting better.
 
Anyone else pick up the book? I thought it was good, a tad slow but decent intro issue
 
True.

Damnit, someone start a bought/thought.
