The Runaways Thread

[Zoken]

again, a noir book.

again, a noir book.

still I would like to bendis on runaways, But I have a feeling he sees a book like runaways as being beneath him or something.

 

[Zoken]

He is beneath it. God, don't wish that on Runaways. I don't want the story arcs taking LONGER than they already do.

 

[Eros]

He is beneath it. God, don't wish that on Runaways. I don't want the story arcs taking LONGER than they already do.

and not to mention a retcon, revealing the runaways are all really inhumans.

 

[Zoken]

Oh god... don't give him ideas... remember, this is a united universe... he cans till do it from where he is.

 

[LouFerignoDemon]

I liked Marcos Martin's design for the whole costume. The seemingly sentient cape was a nice touch, but the elegant, understated jacket and slacks especially are so much better than the overly flowy tunic and tights.

And the pants that acted as shoes?



As for Bendis on Runaways. They wouldn't be just Inhumans. They'd be magical fairie and ROBOT Inhumans that are part of a grandfather complex that we'd be forced to see flashbacks to for fifteen issues that are exposed to the Terrigen Mists.

 

[Zoken]

all of it of course narrated by Molly in an uncharactaristically dark and grim point of view... OH, and all the teenagers would instantly become MORE helpless, just like USM.

 

[LouFerignoDemon]

AND Nico would go into a totally useless fit, and it's all done in that stupid photograph thing as well.

 

[Zoken]

Of course. Then of course the New Avengers (looking suspiciously like their Ultimate counterparts) will HAVE to show up and save them, despite their proven ability.

 

[LouFerignoDemon]

Of course, we get some street punk to come in and lead the team.

 

[Zoken]

Who turns out to be Alex, who has been alive the whole time, having saved people all over LA, not that anyone's heard about it.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

And the pants that acted as shoes?

Oh man, the booties. I forgot that they're not just tights on a man who's gotta be pushing 50... they're pajama tights with booties attached. Seriously, Strange... why?

 

[Zoken]

This game is kinda fun actually...

 

[LouFerignoDemon]

Oh man, the booties. I forgot that they're not just tights on a man who's gotta be pushing 50... they're pajama tights with booties attached. Seriously, Strange... why?

He's the Sorcerer f*****g Supreme, he needs not explain his arcane ways to you, ignorant mortal.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Any grown man in booties has some explaining to do.

 

[Specter313]

Here's the cover with the trade dress:

​

I always like it when they change that kind of stuff around to fit with the cover as well.​

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Yeah, I like the lettering. It could've gone a bit more olden-style, but it looks good. I especially love the bottom banner.

 

[Dread]

Considering their parents, it actually is interesting that they never went back in time before. Nice cover, as always.

Whedon's run has been solid, the biggest hurdle has been his "two steps backwards" approach to Chase. You'd never think the last arc happened.

 

[fifthfiend]

and not to mention a retcon, revealing the runaways are all really inhumans.

The Gibborim are all Inhumans who created the Pride using the Terrigen Mists in order to destroy the world in the name of their father Black Bolt, who has no memory of banging their mom, Susan Richards.

READING THIS WILL GIVE YOU AN ORGASM THAT BREAKS THE INTERNET IN HALF.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Worst orgasm ever.

 

[fifthfiend]

Worse than the time you gave in and banged your cousin?

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Very, very slightly, yes.

Runaways: Days of Future... Whatever

a portal opens up in the new Hostel and a gaint hand comes through to grab Victor, yanking him into the vortex, and shutting just after. Nico casts a spell "Follow the Leader" to pull them all through to the future. But as it's been hours since Victor was yanked, it's also hours later in the future. as they land they are confronted by three women who tell them "You're right on time". One is easily recognizable as Karolina, a little older, and little more confident and holding the hand of a beautiful blonde who turns out to be Carol Danvers. the third is a very grim looking Molly, all grown up and glaring like hell at Nico.

The three bring them, in the Leapfrog, to the old Tar Pits Hostel, which they say isn't being monitored because Tony Stark has more on his plate these days: The X-Men. They inform them that Tony's SPIN tech darts were then blended with "The Cure" and made standard issue for Cape Killer units. When they arrive in the Hostel they ask questions like mad: Where's our Victor, why is Carol there? Then when they get in, they ask: Where is Old Lace. A new voice answers that. Chase clunks out of the shadows, now with a robotic leg and arm and eye. "Old Lace died fighting the people who did this to me," he growled. Future Molly saunters up to him and plants a NON-platonic kiss on his cheek.

They were met because their future selves all have memories of this. and a lot has happened. Karolina has gone through a form of Majesdane puberty that bosted her powers, making her the most powerful Majesdane ever. Xavin, resenting that his powers were eclipsed by her wifes, began to strain the relationship, and eventually ended it after she convinced Karolina to register. At Camp Hammond, Karolina is placed under the tutilage of Carol Danvers. They two grow very close, until Karolina kisses her. Carol initially had problems (Age, gender) but they fell in love and rejoined the Runaways together after Tony crossed the line.

Chase and Molly just grew closer as the years went on. after Old Lace's death, She came to sleep in his bed for comfort and... well, one thing lead to another, he tried to end it several times based on age, but she wouldn't let him. They convinced each other to show their true intelligence for a change.

Victor (Future Vic) had latent programming he hadn't managed to remove that slowly drove him to a dictatorship. Nico, so in love with him, agreed to do whatever it took to stay by his side. of course he didn't turn until after her training. She was frustrated with her lack of power, so she made a bargain with Dr. Doom. She swapped the Staff of One for lessons. he agreed and trained her. When she left is when Victor started changing. She rejoined Victor. Victor, as his first move, conqered Latveria. he enslaved the population by enforcing a madatory cybernetics law, forcing them to have cybernetic implants, at least in their brains. He now rules there. King Victorious and his Queen, Lamentation.

It turns out the X-Men leader, Hisako pulled forward Victor, with the use of a mutant on her team. they intend to use him to shut down Stark's army, which uses mostly Iron Man armors and Scarlet Spiders. Victor's powers would ensure victory, since Magneto is already dead, and Polaris is in a coma.

The Runaways, both future and past, go to free Victor,but that is when The Young Runaways get the surprise They didn't expect: Starks forces are being lead by Gerturde "Heroine" Yorkes

Very, very slightly, yes.

I don't know whether to apologize or take pride in a job well done.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

It's not my fault some of my cousins are hot.
