The Official Stupid Question Thread: Marvel Edition - Part 4

[runawayboulder]

Not that I can recall.

 

[JewishHobbit]

X-23 being renamed Talon sounds familiar but I can't quite put a finger on when it happened. Did it happen in the actual comics or was it just references of some sort?

 

[Manic]

I know that when the Purifiers went around killing the kids during New X-Men, their broken Nimrod identified X-23 as Talon. That's the only instance I recall.

 

[JewishHobbit]

So it's a potential "future" name? I like it, but now that Talons are huge at DC I don't see Marvel going that route.

 

[Anubis]

They aren't that huge.

 

[Havok83]

she doesnt need a new name. X-23 is just fine

 

[Anubis]

I don't know, I'd rather she went by Honey Badger.

 

[javi1024]

How does Marvel determine what books come with the free digital copy and which don't? I bought Winter Soldier and it didn't come with the code and now that I might have to sell my copies it sucks I don't already have digital back ups like most of my other books.

 

[Anubis]

They toss a buncha names into a hat and pull out 10.

 

[runawayboulder]

They probably decide on what books will benefit financially from the promotion or what books will help promote their digital service better.

 

[KevanG]

Does anyone else want to see them make a Cyclops/Wolverine X-men issue where they beat the hell out of each other the whole time while reminding each other of how much they pissed each other off over the years?

Cyclops - Remember that time I turned you into a vampire?
Wolverine - Remember that time that Jean wanted to jump my bones? Oh wait. That was ALL THE TIME!
Cyclops -Sonnva*****! *eye beams*

 

[Anubis]

Wasn't that Schism?

 

[runawayboulder]

It was.

 

[Ipodman]

I like that it was the mention of Jean that made them fight...

 

[Manic]

I still think it was tactless of Wolverine to name his school after Cyclops' ex-wife.

 

[JewishHobbit]

Would it be ex-wife since she died while still his wife? It'd be his deceased wife. Yeah, he cheated on her but you got the impression he regretted it as soon as it came out and might have fixed things over time.

 

[Lord]

Was there ever a time where Logan and Scott actually liked each other? Or have they allways been antagonistic to each other?

 

[KevanG]

They worked together for a good long while and respected each other but then they both became raging *******s and hate each other.

I ignored Schism because it sounded very stupid and from what I read about it it was.

 

[Manic]

Would it be ex-wife since she died while still his wife? It'd be his deceased wife. Yeah, he cheated on her but you got the impression he regretted it as soon as it came out and might have fixed things over time.

I just don't think of Jean's temporary resurrections and lingering psychic presence to be those of Scott's wife anymore. I mean, death did do them part.

 

[chamber-music]

Like others have said Scott and Logan used to respect each other although there was always a bit of a rivalry. Now Cyclops and Wolverine out and out hate each other.

 

[Blitzkrieg Bop]

Has there ever been a Son of Hulk?

 

[Anubis]

You mean Scar or the other one who I forget whether or not he was?

 

[jonathancrane]

There's Skaar---are you referring to an individual book or character?

 

[Blitzkrieg Bop]

Character.

 

[Anubis]

Yeah, Skaar.
