The Official Stupid Question Thread: Marvel Edition - Part 2

[Havok83]

Is she still around? It's hard keeping track of all these X-characters sometimes.

Yes she is.

 

[javi1024]

I wish people would use her more. She seems to only appear in Astonishing arcs anymore.

 

[Harlekin]

She's a part of the focus in the Wolverine and the X-Men: Alpha and Omega mini-series right now.

 

[Manic]

I love Armor, but Pixie usurped her position as the kid who mingles with the adult X-Men.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Isn't Pixie basically just the X-Men's car at this point?

"We need to get to New York! Quick, someone get Pixie!"

"'Ere I am, guv'nah! There, we're in New York now. Shall I help in the fight as well?"

"No, just stand over there and keep your engine run--er, be ready to take us home."

 

[Franklin Richards]

I liked that aborigine guy for that. He was a much better "car".

 

[Harlekin]

Gateway was cool.

how come Spider-man needs a new suit and the Avengers help to go up against the Sinister Six this time?

 

[Blitzkrieg Bop]

How old are Thor, Loki, and Odin?

Well for one he needs to sell more action figures and two, he usually goes running to the Avengers of FF when it comes to fighting the Sinister Six and Venom (back in the earlier days). I think he's only fought the Sinister Six alone on 2 occasions.

Pixie is primarily Generation Hope's bus. The senior X-men team use lIlyana for that

It's times like this I'm glad 616 Blink never turned good.

Too late. She already did months ago

lol...Im guessing you dont read New Mutants. She was their second assignment in Regenesis. She'd become a solo hero to try and redeem herself for the things she did when used by Selene. The NM help her out and invite her to join the team. She ends up declining, instead choosing to join the Westchester branch of the X-men. She hasnt shown up in any of Wolverine's books yet, but she's supposedly there

He's using his scientific mind to have the advantage against them, so that suit is specific to handle all the Six. And given the scope of Doc Ock's latest (potential) threat he's gonna be asking for all the help he can get.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

How old are Thor, Loki, and Odin?

Several thousand years old. It's unclear because of the Ragnarok cycles, but we know they existed in their current incarnation at least 1000 years ago because that's when Odin and the heads of Earth's other major pantheons made a deal with the Celestials' Third Host to leave Earth alone for another 1000 years.

 

[WolfCypher]

Dear SHH!

What issue of FF should I start from to read this run where Doctor Doom became a member?

The End
-WC

 

[javi1024]

I think they approached Doom in FF#2.

 

[runawayboulder]

I thought it was the cliffhanger at the end of issue 1...?

 

[Franklin Richards]

There is only one FF paper trade right now. Just get it. Second one is in hardback but it will be paperback soon. Then you'll be like 3 issues away from the present.


Just get 'em. Better all together anyway.

Is Union Jack "London Falling" any good? I've always liked his look but knew nothing about him. When I saw he has history with Cap and the Invaders, and having recently begun reading Brubaker's Cap, it definitely peaked my interest. Plus it doesn't hurt that it's written by Christos Gage.

 

[javi1024]

That could've been it. I couldn't remember if they had introduced Spiderman to the team AND invited Doctor Doom in the same issue or waited til the next.

London Falling is awesome.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

I remember Gage's Union Jack mini being pretty good, yeah. It was a while ago now, though, so I can't recall specifics.
