The New Improved Official Stupid Question Thread Marvel Edition

[Elijya]

Agreed. We're happy to help out.

As for agent whatshername being a mutant, I have no idea, she wasn't impressive enough of a character for me to have remembered any details about here

 

[Darthphere]

I dont really remember much about her, ill have to re-read Secret War and find out.

 

[Darthphere]

A mutant with earthquake powers. She is the illegitimate daughter of Calvin Zabo, the super-villain known as Mr. Hyde. She was taken in by SHIELD and is under the direct supervision of Nick Fury, even after the latter's defection from SHIELD during the events of the Secret War.

You didn't even specify WHICH Sentry/Void fight you're talking about. One from his original mini? From his arc in New Avengers? where? In any given month, probably 6 dozen fights occur in comics, and very few are notable. Fights blend into the background unless tehre's something over the top and unique in them, like Magneto pulling out Wolverine's skeleton, Captain America cursing out the French in Ultimates, etc. And it's completely subjective, I have no idea what makes a comicbook fight "impressive" by your standards. You say you're bored by Thor, the same guy whose fights have shattered worlds, so none of us have the first clue what to tell you. Not to mention, you're a bit hyper, and you're being pretty rude.

Once again , i thought you had the mental capacity to decipher what relative context i was referring to. I was talking about the Super Soldier Serum, which was only discovered to be linked to the Sentry in issue 8, of the recent mini. I have been lead to believe that in this same issue the Sentry and the Void are forced into a 'last' conflict. By putting pieces of information together i thought it would be relatively simplistic to realise i was referring to the most recent fight.

In this context my opinion is irrelevant as i am requesting yours.

Indeed i am being rude .... in response to the original patronising responses !

She is a 'Avalanche' character of sorts ?

Ignore my last post !!!!!!

 

[Darthphere]

It would seem like it yes.

 

[yahman]

Sorry .... Im a seriously slow typer and a dyselix .... it takes me a long time to produce my responses !

 

[yahman]

It would seem like it yes.

Is the secret wars worth buying ?

 

[Darthphere]

Is the secret wars worth buying ?

Secret War was supposed to have a direct effect on the marvel universe but since it was delayed its pretty irrelevant. I have the comic but I wouldnt highly recommend it.

 

[Elijya]

yeah, pretty art, so-so story

 

[Darthphere]

Also, since it was suppose to affect the MU the ending is kind of open ended.

 

[BAH HUMBBUG!]

Has Sabertooth's Origin ever been told?

 

[Elijya]

Not really. All we know was that he was in the weapon x program with wolverine. Most everything else was planned but never stated or pure speculation, such as:

Chris Claremont had meant for Sabretooth to be Wolverine's father when he created the character, though this was retconned by subsequent writers later on. Claremont, when asked what he had intended to be the relationship between stated between Wolverine and Sabretooth, stated, "Father and son. That's why Sabretooth (*my* incarnation, that is, not this "Creed" poseur) always considered Logan "sloppy seconds" to his "original" / "real deal." The other critical element in my presentation of their relationship was that, in their whole life, Logan has never defeated Sabretooth in a knock-down, drag-out, kill-or-be-killed berserker fight. By the same token, on every one of his birthdays, Sabretooth has always managed to find him, no matter where Logan was or what he was doing, and come within an inch of killing him. For no other reason than to remind him that he could." [1]

In Wolverine Vol. 2 #42, tests done by S.H.I.E.L.D confirmed that Sabretooth and Wolverine were not father and son. However, this did not prove that there was not a more distant relation. Cousins, nephews, and half-brothers would not have nearly the genetic resemblance that a father and son would.

In the limited series, Origin, Wolverine's half-brother Dog Logan was introduced. As an adult the character appeared much like Sabretooth, but with permanent facial scars Sabretooth does not have. Some have theorized that Sabretooth's healing factor may have been a secondary mutation, eventually healing the scars. The writer, Paul Jenkins, stated in interviews ([2], [3]) that he personally had not intended Dog to be Sabretooth, but he has left it open for future writers to explore the possibility.

 

[cerealkiller182]

^^^^I had read a theory that Dog's resemplence to Sabertooth was there because it was the reason for a subconcious(since his healing factor wiped the memories) rivalry or hatred for Sabertooth from the day Wolvie and Creed met. The same with his love for Jean as well as the red headed Rose, and his respect for the intelligent and well spoken thoughts of both the Smitty and Xavier.

 

[Anubis]

I would purfer it if Sabertooth was Dog's son, and he beat and tortured him because he was a mutant just like his half brother Jimmy. Which would explain some of the ingrained hate Creed feels for Wolverine.

 

[Darthphere]

Speakign of the Creed's Graydon is dead right? And so is Apollo?

 

[roach]

Speakign of the Creed's Graydon is dead right? And so is Apollo?

Apollo Creed will never be dead!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Elijya]

yeah, Graydon Creed died like ten years ago

 

[BAH HUMBBUG!]

Thanks Peck

 

[Elijya]

It was in an issue of X-Factor, one of the last before it turned into Mutant X. Mystique and Pyro were there, and X-Factor thought they were going to try to kill Creed, but they were actually there to prevent the assination, I don't think the real assassin's identity was revealed. But I read this going on ten years ago, and X-Factor was a very crappy title at the time that I should not have been watsing my money on, and it was not very rememberable, so I might be mixing that up a little. Pyro had the Legacy Virus, I remember, and he either died in that issue, or shortly after it.

edit: according to their wikipedia entries, I'm mixing up the assasination of Graydon Creed with the attempted assasination or Senator Kelly. The Kelly attempt was the one where Pyro was at, and tried to stop. He died in Senator Kelly's arms.

Graydon Creed WAS shot by Mystique, but this was not revealed until much later

 

[BAH HUMBBUG!]

In the Ultimate universe, Professor X was paralyzed due to Magneto correct? Is that also the same way he was paralyzed in 616?

Nope. I'm pretty sure it was a landmine that crippled old charlie in 616 back in the war.
But I could be wrong. I think they've actually given more than one explanation to his condition the landmine one is just the one i remember best.

 

[A.J.Rimmer(BSC)]

Apparently, some alien crippled ProfX (i forget his name).

Then the Shadow King crippled his cloned body.

Then Magneto re-crippled his micro sentinel enhanced spine.


The xmen cartoon places blame on a falling rock from the Cytorrak temple. (i think).


I've never heard the landmine one....

 

[Nasty-B]

That's about the best idea for the Dog/Saberooth connection I've heard so far.
