The Runaways Thread

[MyPokerShirt]

I wouldn't mind seeing Victor develop a bit of an edge to his character. I mean he puts up with so much from the other Runaways that it would be nice to see a stronger side to his character. I mean Nico completley dominated him in that bedroom scene in issue #19.

Also, when is #2 of Young Avengers/Runaways out?

There's edge and then there's evil. Don't mind Edge, i just don't want Evil!

 

[TheCorpulent1]

I don't like his powers, and he's just so gay. And I don't mean gay gay, cause we all know he likes it up the pooper. I mean he's just completely wet. Plus each of them is supposed to represent their alter ego. How the **** does wiccan represent thor.

1) Quit adding **** in after I've already responded.
2) Wiccan represented Thor, when he was still trying to, by wearing a similar costume and controlling lightning.
3) Shut up and go sit in the corner.

Most of the other's (except for hawkeye) have pretty much as good, if not better powers than their counterparts.

Wiccan can control lightning yes but wearing a costume doesn't make you "like someone" If I put on a lycra body stocking witha lightning bolt on it does that suddenly make me want to shag my sister. No it doesn't. Thor controls lightning but he can also hold his own in hand to hand combat, and he has a magic hammer. Hammer's pwn so thor is better

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Most of the others have different powers that are useful in different ways. Hulkling's strong but nowhere near as strong as the Hulk, and his shapeshifting powers make him useful in other ways (through flight, for example). Patriot's a decent fighter but nowhere near as good as Cap, but his other powers enhance his senses and give him minor super-strength, which... well, even with all that he's still nowhere near Cap, but that's not really his fault. Cap pwns too much. Anyway, Wiccan has the lightning control, which approximates some of Thor's power, and he can use his innate magic powers to bend reality however he wants. I'd say that's every bit as useful as being able to throw a hammer and open portals, and far more useful than being able to throw a strong punch. It's a little less overtly connected to Thor's powers on the surface, but if you think of it thematically, it makes Wiccan easily one of the most versatile powerhouses around. Isn't Thor's claim to fame basically the exact same thing? (Note: you don't have to answer that because I'm a bigger Thor fan than you are and I already know the answer's "yes.")

D'oh!

 

[Specter313]

Wiccin represents Scarlet Witch, not Thor.

 

[spideyboy_1111]

ya.. that was the gimick at first.. that wiccan was thors counter part, and hulkling hulks.. but asgardian uses magic like his mother so changed his name to wiccan, and dropped all the norse costumeing.. Hulking is half skrull half captain marvel.. so hes not hulk like anymore at all.. infact, hes a lighter shade of green and usually has skrull like armor now

How's that gonna work since 'Gert' is now dead?

 

[hippy fascist]

just cause one part of the future isn't coming true doesn't mean other's won't. All it means is gert won't be there to fight him if he goes evil.

 

[SLVRSR4]

Why is Victor always wearing his headphones? Does it enhance his powers or something. Damn android is getting hot goth chicks!

So, Gert doesn't effect his outcome in anyway?

If you're assuming that, then one can assume that Gert's death would effect Victor's outcome.

yes but he could still go all evil. Maybe that wasn't gert from the futre, kinda like that episode where "xander from the future" comes back in buffy

 

[Dread]

I don't think Victor needs an "edge". Chase is the one who's going off the deep end with Gert's death and going hardcore, and Xavin has the whole "assertive Skrull" mentality. Victor's the most mellow male on the team, which balences them out when you consider they usually don't trust ANYONE. He WOULD want to try to be as squeaky as possible to fight off the influence of his "father", Ultron. And he CAN cut loose in battle; just ask Swarm.

Getting ****es isn't hard. It's why they're ****es.

 

[The Cajun]

Getting the new issue of Runaways/Young Avengers tomorrow. Should be good.

 

[The Cajun]

Is the new issue of Runaways/Avengers out now in the UK?

 

[hippy fascist]

yes but my lcs delivery is gonna be a day late cause of the bank holiday and I'm going away this weekend so I won't get my comics till monday

 

[The Cajun]

Doe's the bank holiday affect all deliveries or just yours? I don't want to waste a train trip just to be told the issues will arrive tomorrow.

 

[hippy fascist]

why not call in advance?

 

[The Cajun]

why not call in advance?

I already tried but no pick-up.

I'll just go tomorrow. Save me from the risk of a pointless journey and £2 train ticket.

 

[The Cajun]

Got the new issue. It was alright...nothing ground breaking.

Nico has already got her eyes on Patriot and doesn't seem to bothered about the state Victor is in.

 

[Mr. Green]

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!

 

[Jennifer Walters]

Ummm....seeing that Billy is gay, I very much doubt he'd be bothered if Tony Stark molested him.
