Skin (http://www.mutanthigh.com/skin.html) is dead.

He and Jubes never really had a relationship. She just pined for him after he was dead.

Anyways i mean more details on his life and works.

[mattbib]

Anyways i mean more details on his life and works.More detail than a summary? Your best bet is to read the issue summaries at www.uncannyxmen.net. Or start buying the back issues.

Aww, no easy way to just explain his years of appearances and stuff :( ?

[Ryan K]

This is all from memory, so be forgiving if I mess anything up.

Skin was from a "bad part" of LA. Grew up in a gang, blah, blah, blah. IIRC, he faked his own death to get out of town and after the events of the Phalanx Covenant he joined Generation X. At one point in the series some members of Gen X went back with him to LA for him to confront his personal demons (so to speak). After that, there really wasn't much development with his character in the 75+ issues of Generation X. He was sort of the odd man out. He advanced along in his training with his powers, but other than that . . . nothing I can remember.

At the end of Generation X, he decided to go back to LA For no apparent reason, Jubilee tagged along. The shared an apartment together as Jubilee worked as a bit actress.

Next thing we know they both pop up on the lawn of Xavier's crucified by the Church of Humanity. Skin died. Jubilee lived. On his grave Jubilee wished that she had had sex with him to make him happy because she thinks she was in love with him (even though up to this point there wasabsolutely zero indications that there was anything anywhere near romantic going on between the two).

That's about it.

[fishtaco]

skin died in Uncanny X-men 423. More on this was in Uncanny X-men 427.


I feel like DDM :D

[Sheldon]

Unfortunately, today's Marvel comics use real swear words instead of the good substitutes such as "blast" or "cripes"...

Yeah....Blast and Cripes were classic....I always knew Logan was cutting edge when he'd say cripes.

Did Sienna Blaze ever return from the Ultraverse? Or is she dead?

[mattbib]

Did Sienna Blaze ever return from the M2 universe? Or is she dead?She appeared to have died in Weapon X #5.

[fishtaco]

she returned, yes. Like Matt said, she died in WeaponX (volume2) #5 in the gas chambers of the Neverland facility. She died along with Maggot, Random, Ape, Bulwark, Tar Baby, and I think thats it.

Does anyone know the name of the guy who created Wolverine????? I just became curious because I happened to be channel surfing and came across a Marvel story on the show 60 minutes. The host was interviewing Stan Lee and he was talking about how the Marvel movies made so much money off the characters he created along with Kirby, yet he did not get a penny from the sales of the movies until he sued Marvel. Stan said he never wanted to sue Marvel but he felt it was unfair not to give him a penny. I agree and so did the courts and they awarded him something like 10% of what the movies made but Marvel is appealing the case. The host also asked Stan how he felt about Marvel paying him a generous yearly salary of a million bucks and he said he was greatful and felt he deserved it for all the characters he created and what he did for the company...Stan was a really nice guy...it got me thinking how Marvel is still surviving on the characters he created about 40 or so years ago and not many popular characters have been created since. So, all that brings me to my question of who created Wolverine because thats the only core character I can think of that Stan didn't create or did he? Can someone tell me!!!!!

Depends on who you see as core characters. There are a lot of characters Stan didn't create apart from Wolverine (from the A-list characters Captain America and a lot of X-men come to mind)

[Titan Slade]

I believe Lee and Kirby created the original 5 X-Men(and possibly Havok and Polaris). The rest were created by other people as far as I know.

[sotosan]

Len Wein created Wolverine.

THANKS!!!!

[riotgear]

THANKS!!!!

No problem. And just for additional information, Len Wein wrote Incredible Hulk #181-2, where Wolverine first appeared. He also wrote Giant-Size X-Men #1, where he appeared next. After that, Chris Claremont picked up the storyline in X-Men (vol.1) #94.

[StoneGold]

John Romita Sr. created the design for Wolverine, although Herb Trimpe was the first guy to draw him in a book. Romita is still usually credited with the creation though, same with Punisher, despite the fact Ross Andru drew the book.

[GoGo Yubari]

Hey, I'm going to be going to the Emerald City ComicCon tomorrow and I think I'm going to try and get issues of Deadpool's solo series. So out of curiosity, which are the best ones of that run?

[gary]

Hi there. There are two main runs you should look out for. Joe Kelly's - issue 1 to 33, and Gail Simone's - 65-69. In the middle we have Christopher Priest, Jimmy Palmotti and Frank Tiera who all paled in comparison (in my humble opinion!)

Kelly's work is excellent, full of humour, sadness and shocks. You can break it down into three main arcs - Issue 1 - 13 feature Deadpool attempting to become a hero and his somewhat bumpy path along this road. You must get issue 6 featuring the Vamp - funnier than a mongoose on roller skates. Issue 10 is a must buy, a hillarious comic that features the return of the Great Lakes Avengers (or the Lightning Rods as they're now called - snicker!) Issue 11 is also fantastic, featuring Deadpool having a bizarre time travel semi-crossover with Spider-man. Issues 12 and 13 finish up this stage of Deadpool's life and are like a punch to the gut, really shocking.

Issues 14 to 25 feature Deadpool in the employ of Laundu Luckman and Lake (I think that's right) and see the introduction of exploding head man. Yay! Issues 23-25 feature the arc 'Dead Reckoning', the culmination of this arc. Also worth looking out for is issue 20 (or maybe 21) which sees Deadpool fight Batroc the Leaper (He He, still makes me giggle 5 years on)

Issues 26 to 33 clear up a lot of the mysteries around Deadpool's past. Of note is issue 27 with Doctor Bong and issue 29 (I think) with the Black Talon, chicken heads and Zombie goo!

There was also a Daredevil/Deadpool annual from 1998 that carried on from issue 7 and a Deadpool/Death annual that came out in 1999, carrying on from issue 18 (or thereabouts)

Gail Simone's short run (issues 65-69) is a classic and features Baby Rhino (hamster ball!) and everyone's favourite rollerskater, Dazzler!

Happy hunting!

[The Lucky One]

Anything by Joe Kelly or Gail Simone is basically what you're looking for. I think Gail's run started in the 60s, then ran to the end of the title and picked up in Agent X (also worth getting).

Ah. I was late. You already know this. Well... good job, gary!

-D

[GoGo Yubari]

Thanks, Gary, I'm definitely going to go for the stuff with the Great Lakes Avengers.

[Morrolan]

I enjoyed the Deadpool and Punisher issues. I also liked his 2 4 issue series. I forget what they were called but one Was about Tolivers Will. Very good 4 issuse series. Cool fights with Kane and this weird team of Mercs. I forget their name but i know they capture him at one point. And pay for it at another. And i also think he throws Black Tom and Juggy out of a plane. Unless Im mixing the 2 series up. And the other was about Black Tom. I personally like this one better. This is where he first falls for Syrin. Fanstastic series. Also has some pretty good altercations with both Black Tom and Juggy.

[Doom Hammer]

There was also a Daredevil/Deadpool annual from 1998 that carried on from issue 7 and a Deadpool/Death annual that came out in 1999, carrying on from issue 18 (or thereabouts)

Yeah, that was excellent. One of my favorite DP related comics ever.

[ChoasMAC]

Honestly, I really liked Tieri's run on Deadpool. It was the only reason I picked up the series again. It serves as a good build up to Simone's run and I LOVED Deadpool's Funeral for a Freak ( The ONLY good Nuff Said issue) :D

[UniqueFrequency]

definitely the joe kelly and gail books!!

[Michael P]

Deadpool 1-25, plus the 98 and 99 annuals, is one of the best Deadpool novles I've ever read.

[C.O. Jones]

I believe Lee and Kirby created the original 5 X-Men(and possibly Havok and Polaris). The rest were created by other people as far as I know.

Lee and Kirby ended their X-Men run with issue 17. Lee continued to write until 19. Havok and Polaris both 1st appeared in civilian id's in issues 49 and 54 respectively.

[gary]

Hope you get some good bargains GoGo. You know, writing that summary reminded me how good these runs actually were. I think I'm going to have to go and read some of these books again!

It's good to see much love for the Joe Kelly issues. With comics currently deep in the age of Bendis it's amazing how much Kelly packed into 33 issues (and the rest!)

[Neolucifer]

Who exactly is Spiral? what are her powers? where does she figure in prominantly?

[MrBiggs7]

How far in the future is Bishop from? I never read his origin books, I only know what is recapped in current books or profiles in Wizard. In the cartoon he knew wolverine, was raised partially by Gambit, and was sent into the past by Forge. Does the comic continuem reflect this or did they make that all up? If that's true then his future is right around the corner, isn't it?

[mattbib]

*ahem*
Who exactly is Spiral? what are her powers? where does she figure in prominantly?from www.mutanthigh.com
Spiral was created when a movie star named Ricochet Rita was captured by Mojo and twisted, physically and psychically, into a six-armed, sword-wielding sorceress/teleporter. (Note: This appears to have happened in the future.) Part of the reason for her transformation is that she was Longshot's (http://mutanthigh.bravepages.com/longshot.html) love interest for a time, and Mojo wanted to hurt his greatest enemy by subverting his girlfriend. Spiral is able to cast different types of spells, including teleportation through time and space. She worked with Freedom Force for a while, but also runs the Body Shoppe, a place where genetics and technology are used to twist people in the same way that Spiral herself was twisted. Spiral is responsible for giving Psylocke (http://mutanthigh.bravepages.com/psylocke.html) new eyes (which she then used as camera feeds from our world), kidnapping Rachel Summers (http://mutanthigh.bravepages.com/phoenix2.html) and making her Mojo's prisoner, placing Shatterstar's (http://mutanthigh.bravepages.com/shatterstar.html) spirit into Benjamin Russell's body, and for the creation of Lady Deathstrike (http://mutanthigh.bravepages.com/ladydee.html) and her Reavers (http://mutanthigh.bravepages.com/reavers.html): Cole, Macon and Reese. In one possible future, she returned to Mojoworld with Arize, creator of the slave biped race, and helped overthrow Mojo I. She has an intense emotional connection to both Longshot and Shatterstar. Spiral currently bears the mark of the Crimson Dawn (http://mutanthigh.bravepages.com/glossary.html#crimson), but the full ramifications of that fact are still unknown.

[Trystenn]

Thank you very much Matt!!!

*ahem*

Aside from Matt has said, track down Longshot #1-6 for the first appearances of Mojo, Longshot & Spiral.

The Body Shoppe is where science & magick merge; it's where Spiral operates on Earth in any place. For Rachel, she appeared in the Delacorte, a part of Central Park in NYC. For Psylocke's transformation into an Asian ninja, Spiral literally placed her Body Shoppe inside Betsy's mind. Mojo, on the other hand, created Betsy's original bionic eyes--not Spiral, although he may have used Spiral's Body Shoppe to put the bionic camera eyes in Betsy's eye sockets.

No, the damage has already been done and healed. It'd be like trying to heal scar tissue or a broken bone that's already been set and healed improperly.

i just finished reading wolverine the end this morning and i have a quetion. going by this seriies, logan's mom had the mutant gene. now both logan and his brother have the same powers. the reason behind logan's odd hair style is because of his healing factor which has his hair growing that way within a few hours of cutting it. if i recall correctly, logans father has the same hair style. how can logans father have that hair style if he did not have the mutant gene?

His father did have hair like that didn't he in Origin? Wasn't it Dog's dad who was Wolverine's dad and not Mr Howlett, who had normal hair.

[MrBiggs7]

Haha. That's a good question.

Crimson, I think that its assumed that James is the illegitmate son of Logan.

So is the guy dead or alive? I'm a little confused about how he managed to show in Uncanny at about #449.
Apparently alive, although he is a reality bender and death may just be a concept to him, but after his defeat, that last that was seen of him was that he went to Muir Island to recover/ get treatment from his mental illness. But as we know the Muir Island facility is now longer there.

has marvel retconned karma's past yet? she is supposed to be what, around her 20s? that would not matchup with her past life in vietnamNo it hasn't. I don't think it needs to be retconned, really. Readers can just adjust any reference to the War or to the Viet Cong to some later military action. It is a fictional universe after all.

i dont know, i would have to disagree with that. characters like karma, forge and punisher's past in vietnam are what developed their characer. now madison jeffries involvment in vietnam or mr fantastic and the thing's involvemt in WWII, have no impact in how their characters were developed. so with the three latter characters, you can just say they were in the first gulf war and it wouldnt matter to their character. but saying that the former three were not in vietnam just doesnt fit in the character marvel created for them. anyone agree?

I agree, just like WWII is integral to Magneto and Captain America, Vietnam is integral to Forge and Karma. I can't really think of a good way to let it work together with Marvel's sliding timescale, so it's just a matter of just accepting it and moving on.

[QUOTE=Dizzy D]i might be mistaken but karma is a little young to be in the war, maybe you are referring to something else.

She was created in '81 or thereabouts, when it was realistic for her to have had the Vietnam War and its aftereffects be a part of her backstory. Now, with it being 25 years later but her only 5 or so years older, it's a lot tougher to reconcile.

[DDM]

what happened to Betsy's Psychic butterfly icon thing? When she went throgu the seige perilous did she lose it?

No, Psylocke's psychic butterfly avatar remains after her magickal transformation into an Asian ninja as Claremont showed it in Uncanny X-Men #256, 268, and 271. Other writers ignored Betsy's butterfly avatar though.

I'm sure Chris Claremont will re-establish Betsy's telepathic butterfly avatar later on in Uncanny X-Men, but she can't right now since she still possesses telekinetic powers.

Madrox was a mini series that ended with issue #5 last month. It was hinted at at the end of that book that Peter David was not yet done with the character though. Now whether that means Madrox will become an ongoing series, have another mini series, turn into an X-Factor book in some way, or if Peter David will move onto another x-book and take the character with him, we don't know.

I don't read District X and don't really follow any news surrounding it, but as far as I know it is not cancelled or at least it hasn't been announced that it is cancelled. I could be wrong though.

Nightcrawler is an interesting case. New issues have not been solicited in the previews for awhile now, but the one of the creators has said the book is not cancelled. So nobody's really sure.

[streator]

I don't read District X and don't really follow any news surrounding it, but as far as I know it is not cancelled or at least it hasn't been announced that it is cancelled. I could be wrong though.
things dont look to well, basically. it is supposedly safe through either 16 or 18 issues, but its not selling well. marvel is still behind the title, but in areas that matter most to a company ($) distirct x may not be around much longer.

[Hipnautik]

Sorry if these questions have been asked.

I'm new to X-men books, but I'm really digging Astonishing.

My questions are where did Kitty get a dragon?

Where's Professer X?

The dragon's name is Lockheed. He became her 'pet' a long time ago, though he's actually much more intelligent than what you could call a pet. Kitty first maid friends with Lockheed while fighting the Brood on Slezeworld ages ago. Here's a better link to explain the who and whats behind ole Lockheed. :)

http://www.mutanthigh.com/lockheed.html

Emma gained the ability to turn into organic diamond in Grant Morrison's New X-Men. She was teaching students on Genosha (An island of mutants ruled by Magneto) when Sentinels destroyed the island and killed most of the mutant populace (16+ million). She developed a secondary mutation which saved her life. Morrison did this because he needed a 'Colossus Replacement'.

Professor X is on Genosha with Callisto and Magneto, rebuilding the country after it was destroyed by Sentinels. Their adventures are featured in Excalibur, which also stars Dark Beast and soon Angel. It's currently on Issue #9. And is a pretty damn good book, in my opinion. :)

While White Queen, Emma Frost had some kind of affair with Black King, Sebastian Shaw; although an astral projection, Frost kissed Shaw telling him that she had kidnapped all of Xavier's New Mutants & Kitty Pryde for the Hellfire Club in Uncanny X-Men #182. Claremont never touched upon their relationship again. I'm sure both Shaw & Frost have had multiple sex partners...

[MrBiggs7]

I picked up, for the first time, xmen:the end. It says ittakes place 15 years from the present. Its been full of some pretty depressing stuff. Is this the official end of the REAL xmen universe?

They also smooched quite intently while frost'S mind was in Storm's body, IIRC (Uncanny 151-152)

No, X-men: The End, is basically a giant What if? story. I have taken it as a vision of the future from the Reload, therefore many things have already/will change that will make it not happen.

[fishtaco]

does anyone know what happened to Selby?

[mattbib]

does anyone know what happened to Selby?Nothing happened to Selby. He hasn't appeared since Excalibur #104.

[MrBiggs7]

I know for Rogue its difficult for her to live her life with her powers. She can't make with the lovin', kiss anybody, give live birth to her children when she has them.

My question is if Rogue took "the cure" will she retain the powers she absorbed from Ms. Marvel? Those powers aren't a mutation and she can still be a valuable member of the xmen without her absorbing power.

[mattbib]

Rogue's already lost the Ms. Marvel powers. But no, if she lost her mutant powers she'd lose all those powers she'd absorbed.

[Alan2099]

I've been out of comics for a while, so now that I'm back, I have questions.

Whatever happened to Nimrod?

What happened to Adam-X? Was he actually the third Summers borther?

What exactly is Shatterstar's origin?

What happened to Post, Holocaust, and Dark beast?

Now did Nate Grey die?

Did Arcade even get his face healed up? I seem to recal having seen him with out the scars later on.

Wolverine was shown to have a son in the savage land at one point. Have we seen him since then?

In an old issue where the X-men where fighting Oxymadius and Wolverine was still noseless, it mentioned that Cyclops recived some brain damage to a part of his brain that had been damaged before. Did anything ever come out of that?

I can answer some of these.

Nimrod was destroyed in a 3-way fight between the Hellfire Club, the X-men, and Nimrod. This happened in Uncanny X-men 207-209. I think he was merged with Master Mold. Later, Bastion, the leader of Operation: Zero Tolerance was revealed to be Nimrod sorta. Not so sure. When Bastion was defeated, he went away for awhile. He later appeared in the Warlock series, and then I think Stryfe allegedly killed him in X-men annual 2000. But ya know Stryfe, cant trust a word he says. Nimrod will be back. Im pretty sure about this.

AdamX kinda went off into space. Yes, while in the comics it was never confirmed, Fabian Nicieza announced that he intended for X-treme to be the third Summers Brother, him being the illigitimate son of D'ken and Kate Summers. Unfortunately, current Marvel policy forbids the use of X-treme, because people might confuse him with X-treme X-men. (stupid Joe Quesada)

I dont know much about this. However, there is an upcoming X-Force: Shatterstar series starting in two weeks with Spiral, so maybe some of your questions will be answered.

Post kinda went away for awhile after Onslaught, and he was then seen as a member of ProfessorX's Brotherhood of Mutants along with mimic, blob, and toad in Uncanny X-men 363. He was also seen in Cable #72, when he and Cable ended their feud. However, he was later seen with Blob and Mystique's Brotherhood in the Dream's End crossover. The Brotherhood were on a mission to kill Senator Kelly. Post was about to kill him, but Pyro got in his way and killed him. Pyro died about 10 seconds later. That was in Cable #87.

Holocaust- Not so sure what has been going on with him. He's been out of the picture I think. However, you can expect him to be a big player in Exiles 60 and 61, which come out within a month.

Dark Beast- well, in X-factor, Havok broke him and Fatale out of prison, and they went somewhere. Dont know where they have been after that, but Dark Beast now is a major character in the current Excalibur series. He just got his ass handed to him by an unknown creature in the tunnels. Check out Excalibur!!!!

Nate Grey technically didnt die. He is still alive, but you can say he is dead and get away with it. In X-man #75, his cells scattered all over the world. He is now a part of everyone and everything. He has merged with everyone and everything. I want him back so bad.

dunno about Arcade.

dont know what your talkin about. Colossus had a son in the Savage Land, though.

The X-me fighting Ozymandias? Uncanny X-men 332? Dont remember talking about Cyke's blasts.

I hope that helped. Anymore questions, feel free to ask me. :)

Was it ever explained why Longshot had only four fingers?

[DDM]

Was it ever explained why Longshot had only four fingers?

Mojo created Longshot to only have four fingers; he also possesses hollow bones & enhanced agility along with his luck powers.

[MrBiggs7]

Rogue's already lost the Ms. Marvel powers. But no, if she lost her mutant powers she'd lose all those powers she'd absorbed.

How did that happen? Where the hell have I been?

[DDM]

Whatever happened to Nimrod?

Nimrod & the Master Mold II merged into a single being called Bastion; Bastion hated mutants. Claremont intended both Master Mold II & Nimrod to be destroyed in Uncanny X-Men #247, but Scott Lobdell used the incident to created Bastion from the amalgam as a result of entering the Siege Perilous. Bastion was later destroyed, but not before he had created Prime Sentinels (human cyborg sentinels with nanotechnology). Many of the Prime Sentinels were not aware they themselves were Sentinels until the prime programming took over their brains when a mutant was spotted in a vicinity.

What happened to Adam-X? Was he actually the third Summers borther?

Adam X was never revealed to be the third Summers brother. This plot was dropped by the X-editors.

What exactly is Shatterstar's origin?

A confusing origin was revealed for Shatterstar in John Francis Moore's X-Force, but he left more questions than answers. Shatterstar is linked to Benjamin Moore in some way. The more I try to figure this out, the more confused I get.

What happened to Post, Holocaust, and Dark beast?

Holocaust will be a member of Exiles. Dark Beast is currently in Excalibur (volume 3).

Now did Nate Grey die?

Nate Grey literally spread his entire essence all over the Earth.


Did Arcade even get his face healed up? I seem to recal having seen him with out the scars later on.

Arcade is still missing in action, although Viper supposedly purchased Murderworld on Ebay as revealed in Uncanny X-Men #448-449.

Wolverine was shown to have a son in the savage land at one point. Have we seen him since then?

Not to my knowledge. The X-Men are going back tob Savage Land in Uncanny X-Men #455-460.

In an old issue where the X-men where fighting Oxymadius and Wolverine was still noseless, it mentioned that Cyclops recived some brain damage to a part of his brain that had been damaged before. Did anything ever come out of that?

Yes. Cyclops brain was damaged when, as a child, the parachute did not open correctly as it carried himself & his little brother, Alex Summers, to safety as Christopher Summers plane was abducted by the Shi'ar. As a result, Cyclops cannot control his optic blasts. Only ruby quartz lenses can help Cyclops with his mutant powers.

[Ryan K]

How did that happen? Where the hell have I been?

In the Invasion arc in X-Treme X-Men her and Gambit both lost all of their powers.

At the end of the series Sage somehow jump started their powers back, but Rogue had permanently lost her Ms. Marvel powers.

I believe there are rumours that they will somehow be returned to her in her own series.

[Alan2099]

I know that Cyclops couldn't control his powers due to brain damage, but in a pre-Onslught comic it's said that the portion of Cyclops brain that was damaged had been damaged again. That's what i was askign about.

As for Wolverine's kid. I'm not sure if I'm remembering correctly, but I'm pretty sure it was in the special where he fought the robot Apocaluypse in the Savage land.

Nope, none of the X-editors made a big deal about Cyclops second brain damage incident; however, he has been whining about being possessed by Apoclaypse to Emma Frost in New X-Men...

[Dizzy D]

A confusing origin was revealed for Shatterstar in John Francis Moore's X-Force, but he left more questions than answers. Shatterstar is linked to Benjamin Moore in some way. The more I try to figure this out, the more confused I get.

Jeph Loeb was the writer on that story, JFM didn't become writer until several issues after that story. And it's Benjamin Russel, not Benjamin Moore.

I know that Cyclops couldn't control his powers due to brain damage, but in a pre-Onslught comic it's said that the portion of Cyclops brain that was damaged had been damaged again. That's what i was askign about.

I think I know what story you refer to and if it is that one, it's a misinterpretation: Cyclops brain wasn't damaged again, but Cyclops and Jean returned to their original bodies after spending 9 years in the future in cloned bodies (in Scott's case a body without brain damage). Jean wanted to know how Scott was dealing with having no control again. (If it is another story, just ignore this)

Arcade was seen in Agent X without the scars on his face (and before that in issues of Spider-Man). Guy is a multi-millionaire, I guess he can afford a good plastic surgeon.

[fishtaco]

Guy is a multi-millionaire, I guess he can afford a good plastic surgeon.
and thats why he should have been in the Hellfire Club this past arc.

[The Lucky One]

Was it ever explained why Longshot had only four fingers?

His creator, Arize -- one of the Spineless Ones who had built himself an artificial spine -- modeled he and the entire slave race after the nightmarish creatures that had haunted the dreams of the Spineless Ones since the infancy of their civilization. They happened to look like humans (though it was later retconned into being due to earth TV broadcasts sent back in time... bleh), but with one less finger. And an extra heart, and hollow bones, and all that good stuff. The good luck power, on the other hand, is the result of a mystical ceremony conducted by Longshot's rebel band, not Arize's doing.

-D

[fishtaco]

On the FAQ here, Mattbib said that Quiksilver was an X-man. When was that? Why did he join? Why did he leave? I know he was living with the X-men for awhile like in Uncanny X-men 337-338, but otherwise I have no idea. Help?

[jade_nova]

When did Bishop lose/cut his hair?

[DDM]

When did Bishop lose/cut his hair?

Uncanny X-Men #444, although his style had changed gradually throughout X-Treme X-Men's whole run.

Actually, not quite. In Uncanny X-Men (vol.1) #339 (the issue that Alan2099 is talking about), Cyclops has a substantial fall, and strikes his head on an outstretched rock. I forget the exact words (I can look it up tonight), but it states in the writer's soliloquy that the blow undoes brain damage once done by another fall years ago. So, in essence, Cyclops' brain-damage is now gone, but is unaware of the change. It's not like he has an MRI every year. If he were to find this out, all he would have to do is practice the trigger.

I'm sorry, it wasn't UXM 339, it was Wolverine #102. If I remember correctly, it was Larry Hama who was writing. Again, I'll check. It's on the first couple of pages (I don't remember exactly which one).

In Uncanny X-men 339, while he is fighting Havok, he almost fell on a bunch of sharp and jaggedy rocks and died, but Storm saved him when he was about 2 inches from the ground.

The bit about a blow to the brains undoing damage does seem very weird though.

It hasn't been mentioned in any issues I've read. Has anyone read NYX cause thats the only X-23 stuff I haven't read.

[MrBiggs7]

If Woverine had his hand cut off could he regenerate a new one? What are the limitations to his healing factor?

yes see Ultimate X-men


Question: With Mystique ending this month any word on what comic they will transfer the subscribers to?I've never subscribed through Marvel, and I know they used to automatically transfer a subscription of a cancelled series to a "similar" series, but here's what's on Marvel.com regarding cancelled series:

"If a title you have subscribed to has been cancelled, you have several options. You can request a refund for undelivered copies, have your subscription balance transferred to another title or an extension on an existing subscription."

I wonder, though, if they just automatically transfer to something else unless they receive specific instructions from a subscriber.

[Turd_Ferguson]

When did Bishop lose/cut his hair?

Actually, the first time Bishop ever showed up with short hair would be in X-Men (vol 2) #46, shortly after the return from the age of apocalypse. This was the first issue of a two issue arc involving the X-Babies.

[Tyrone Slothrop]

I recently read the Morrison back issues… could anyone tell me if it was ever revealed who the 6ft 2 male was who knocked out Sage during the Murder at the Mansion arc?

[The Lucky One]

Xorneto.

[DDM]

The suspect who knocked out Sage was Xorn who eventually revealed himself to be "Magneto."

[DDM]

With his adamantium bones, Wolverine's hand can never really be severed from his body.

[Crimson]

With his adamantium bones, Wolverine's hand can never really be severed from his body.

Yes it can... you just have to cut the ligaments as those are normal.

[Tyrone Slothrop]

The suspect who knocked out Sage was Xorn who eventually revealed himself to be "Magneto."

I thought that was possible, but wasn't Xorn described as being 8ft tall?
Or was xorn 8ft tall due to his costume and magneto smaller inside? :confused:

[Crimson]

I thought that was possible, but wasn't Xorn described as being 8ft tall?

Apparantly it wasn't really Magneto just Xorn who was affected by Sublime and went crazy... and ended up thinking he was Magneto.

Its a VERY confusing subject.

[Turd_Ferguson]

Yes it can... you just have to cut the ligaments as those are normal.

Exactly. It did happen in AoA Wolverine, who had his hand blasted off by Cyclops.

[MrBiggs7]

ok how about this: since diamond can cut diamond can adamantium cut adamantium? In MTU Wolvie retracted his claws right into his head so it seems so.

[The Lucky One]

If you put enough force behind it, yes, adamantum could cut adamantium. The problem is that Wolverine is only slightly stronger than your average Olympic athlete- he doesn't have true super-strength, per se. That being the case, will he be able to put enough force behind his claws to make them cut adamantium? That's the real question, and the reason him cutting the Hulk's skin has always been a little questionable.

no prob

Siryn is a member of X-Corps in Paris

Warpath is a member of X-Corps in Mumbai

Banshee- Crippled by Mystique after founding X-Corps. In hospital. Hasnt been seen since Uncanny X-men 406 :(

Dazzler- Last appeared in some issue of Deadpool I think. I dont know where she is now.

Skids- Last appeared in X-treme X-men, in the Prisoner of Fire story arc (X-treme X-men #'s 40-46). Member of X-Corps L.A. Helped the X-men fight Elias Bogan.

Sunspot- Appeared with Skids in the Prisoner of Fire arc, as the leader of X-Corps in L.A. Recently appeared in Uncanny X-men 453-455 as the Hellfire Club's Lord Imperial. Hellfire Club is being used for good.

Firestar- no idea.

Rictor- X-Corps somewhere. Might appear in the upcoming Shatterstar series, but no one is sure.

Darkstar- DEAD. Mindcontrolled by Weapon15 or something in New X-men. Killed by Fantomex.

Hope that helped. Just about everyone you asked about was in X-Corps at some time. :)

[mattbib]

Firestar- no idea.
I believe Firestar, in her reserve Avenger status, was last seen during the Kang War.

[Risque]

And this X-Corps, is this something that appears regularly in the titles or is it just a way to explain where these characters are and is a new name for X-Limbo? ;)

[The Fury]

And this X-Corps, is this something that appears regularly in the titles or is it just a way to explain where these characters are and is a new name for X-Limbo? ;)
X-Corps was an organisation formed by Banshee based in Paris that was meant to be like a police force for mutants, it failed, but Xavier took it upon himself to revive it, with more world wide bases. Many X-characters that are not in one of the main titles are at one.

Actually I'd like it to appear more in the titles. It's only be seen about 5 or 6 times really.

But yeah basically a way to placing the unused X-characters.

[Crimson]

ok how about this: since diamond can cut diamond can adamantium cut adamantium? In MTU Wolvie retracted his claws right into his head so it seems so.

It didn't though... because it didn't go throw his head it pushed his arms away from his head so they could come out. Thats how he got out of Spider-Mans webbing.

Ok, admittedly, I haven't read this thread in forever, so I might be asking something redundant: I think the Endsong series is going very well so far...but I gotta ask...is this actually supposedly happening in the 616? Cause I've seen no signs of it in any other book.

[MrBiggs7]

i asked this question before. its supposedly happening in 616 but in an alternate reality. i still dont understand the concept but i think AOA is 616 as well but because something was disturbed in the past it created an alternate present.

An alternate reality wouldn't be the 616 Universe reality. Remember that the events in one book could be set slightly ahead or behind of the events in other books. The best thing to do is wait til the mini is over, and then you'll likely be able to figure out where things fit together. Yes, AOA was once the 616 reality... but once the timeline was corrected, AOA became a divergant reality. :)

the fact that aoa wasn't given its own number leads me to believe that its a twisted 616. these different dimmensions do not connect anywhere but a single dimmension can have an infinite number of futures and outcomes without it becoming another dimmension.

[MrBiggs7]

if i had a pen and we were in person i'd love to draw out a diagram of my theory

[Beast]

It's not. It's a current time/current timeline story. We just haven't been filled in on when it takes place in relation to the other books. :)

[Beast]

We don't know that it wasn't given it's own number. Originally it was 616, but altered due to the events that occured. Once the reality was put right, the AOA reality didn't phase out of existance. It became a alternate reality all it's own, because AOA never happened in the 616 universe anymore. That's why the AOA universe can still exist in the upcoming miniseries. The same thing happened in 1602, the divergant reality split off to form it's own alternate reality. :)

It's not. It's a current time/current timeline story. We just haven't been filled in on when it takes place in relation to the other books. :)

true true, it is the definate story of the end as of now because nothing has happened to change it yet. but remember there are many many stories telling the future that has nothing to do with the end. because its the future and in the 616 reality it can still be altered

*sighs* The only possible future comics on the racks right now is 'X-Men: The End'. This book is in the 616 reality, it's taking place some point in the current canon. And it's not a 'possible future', it's the current present.

AoA is NOT 616. It is an alternate timeline, and was never presented as anything but that. Everyone knew when it came out that it was not permanent.
616 is only current mainstream marvel continuity. Although I believe all futures that are presented in the comics are all supposed to be "possible alternate futures"

Days of Future Past is an alternate future that has since been avoided, the same with Bishop's future and Cable's future.

when i said there are many books out i did not mean currently. i did not mean they are on the racks right now. i'm not sure why you wouldn't realize that i mean books like days of future past or bishop's timeline.

now what i dont understand is how you refer to the end as "the only possible future comics on the rack right now" then go on to say that "it's not a 'possible future', it's the current present." Please explain that to me and include your definitions of this comic jargon that i obviously do not understand.

Alternate dimensions/realities should not be confused with other dimensions that exist within the various universes (i.e. demon realms, subdimensional realms, etc.).

[Dizzy D]

626

I heard.

And:
Days of Future Past is an alternate future that has since been avoided, the same with Bishop's future and Cable's future.
Bishop's and Cable future could still come to pass. DoFP was changed because the actual event that changed the path to it was avoided. But we do not know if Bishops stopping Onslaught stopped his future (as there is now a new traitor in the mansion), and whether the death of Apocalypse caused stopped Cable's (Pocy could return at any time).

I'm being picky, I know.

626

I heard.

And:

Bishop's and Cable future could still come to pass. DoFP was changed because the actual event that changed the path to it was avoided. But we do not know if Bishops stopping Onslaught stopped his future (as there is now a new traitor in the mansion), and whether the death of Apocalypse caused stopped Cable's (Pocy could return at any time).

I'm being picky, I know.

I thought that Bishop's future was the same timeline as the DoFP future (mentioned in one of his early appearances and the Sentinel takeover of the world happened in his timeline as well) DoFP wasn't changed, it's just that the events in the regular MU were changed by Kitty stopping Destiny from killing Senator Kelly so it couldn't become DoFP. DoFP still exists (as proven by Rachel coming to the regular timeline, Days of Future Present and Days of Future Tensem, all happening after Kitty stopping Destiny)

And Cable's future is erased (specifically mentioned in Weinberg's run: Cable attracted the attention of other timetravellers after erasing the Askani future as well as Rachel now never becoming Mother Askani). Yes, Apocalypse can return and a similar future may come to pass, but it won't be the exact same future.

[iGotKittyPryde]

Man... people, stop making my head hurt. Phoenix Endsong is happening in the same reality as Astonishing, Uncanny etc. it's just not been shown where it fits in... I wouldn't be surpised if it fits in with the end of the Astonishing run and leads in somehow to House of M. That's only a guess but man, it isn't a freaking alternate reality or they might have, you know, mentioned it.

[MrBiggs7]

holy hell, i didn't even read that dude's whole question. I saw the word 'end' and skimmed through it and figured they were talking about the end. my bad

DoFP still exists (as proven by Rachel coming to the regular timeline, Days of Future Present and Days of Future Tensem, all happening after Kitty stopping Destiny)

In the cartoon, that is true but as for comics I always assumed that Bishops was different. Take it this way, while DoFP was overtaken by Sentinel's, the X-men were killed by them, in that timeline, Jean Grey was never ressurected. But in Bishops future she was able to record that message that refered to Onslaught.

As far as I will take it they are separate Futures.

But you are right about the fact they exist, all alternate futures exist. As long as their timeline exist. Which for most cases is the 616. Of course then some people would argue that the AoA nlonger exists, but it like any other alternate reality do still exist.

Man, I love alternate future/reality stuff.

On Matbib's FAQ, it says that Quiksilver was an X-man. When was this? When did he join and why? When and why did he leave? thanks.

On Matbib's FAQ, it says that Quiksilver was an X-man. When was this? When did he join and why? When and why did he leave? thanks.He's only considered an X-Man by association. During the time that he was with X-Factor and the period during which he resided at the mansion.

He's only considered an X-Man by association. During the time that he was with X-Factor and the period during which he resided at the mansion.

He also was part of the strike force against Magneto in X-Men (2nd series) #25 and was the only one on the team that wasn't normally appearing in the two main books. So he was sort of "an X-Man" there too.

Any idea if we will see Angel and her children ever again?

The only place they would make sense is Academy X. Nunzio and Christina have no plans for them to appear. The only other place would be Exiles, when/if Beak completes his time with them and gets to go home. :)

No, Jean Grey never died in DOFP's timeline (at least not until the Sentinels attack started). Remember Jean/Phoenix had Rachel in Days of Future Past. And Onslaught would have happened before the Sentinel attack. (Onslaught killing the X-men or not means nothing, for all Bishop knows about a traitor/ the X-men being killed etc. is one broken-up message by Jean Grey out of context.) I'm pretty sure Bishop was mentioned to be from DoFP in the comics as well (mostly because I never saw the cartoon), but it must have been one of his first appearances.
And the Sentinels took over the world in Bishop's future as well; hence the M on Bishop, Shard and the other XSE-members eyes.

[The Fury]

*Thinks* OK, Dizzy you are right on the Jean thing, but I do still think the 2 futures are separate. There are many inconsistancies between them, things that by the time Bishop's future been shown was different from the DoFP future. Gambit still alive and being called The Witness, as in the Witness to the death of the X-men, by the traitor. In the DoFP they were killed by the Sentinels.

I'm started to get confused so I'm stopping there.

[Crimson]

Has Phoenix Endsong #3 been released? I hope I haven't missed it...

[The Fury]

No, It's Out today.

[Crimson]

No, It's Out today.

Awesome! Hopefully spoilers will be kept in one topic unlike Wolverine 25 :D Can't wait to get this with my two week comic package next week.

Thanks Fury.

Like I said in my previous post: it was never said in Bishop's future that the X-men were killed by a traitor. Bishop saw Jean's message, assumed that it revealed the true death of the X-men (by then little was known of the X-men, they were more legend than history). He visits the Witness on the subject and the Witness tells him absolutely nothing on the whole subject.

Also the Summers Revolution defeated the Sentinels in Bishop's timeline -> Rachel Summers went back to her own future and reprogrammed the Sentinels to protect all life; human and mutant. (Never stated the the two were the same, but the coincidence is remarkable)

I don't really know a whole lot about Longshot, but I've been doing some research here & at UXN, and the one question I can't get a good answer to is this: when Longshot was a regular on the X-Men, who else was on the team? Dazzler is a pretty obvious answer to that one, but who else filled up the roster? Just curious - thanks!

Havok, Storm, Psylocke, Wolverine, Dazzler, Rogue, Gateway, Colossus, Madelyne Pryor (not really an X-man), and MAYBE Jubilee. Im not too sure though.

ahhh, good ol' Australian Days. :)

[The Lucky One]

Storm (leader; powerless)
Wolverine
Colossus
Havok
Dazzler
Rogue
Psylocke (British)
Madelyne Pryor (sorta)
Gateway (unofficial)

Jubilee was hanging around on the fringes at the tail end of Longshot's time with the team, but I don't think they ever interacted.

And hey, any other Longshot questions, let me know!
:)

-D

[DDM]

Storm (leader)
Wolverine
Colossus
Rogue
Longshot
Dazzler
Psylocke
Havok
Gateway (unofficial member)

However, Longshot officially joined the X-Men in Uncanny X-Men Annual #10 (happens after Uncanny X-Men #210 when Rachel Summers is abducted by Spiral from the events of Uncanny X-Men #207-209) right before the Mutant Massacre occurred in Uncanny X-Men #211-214. Therefore, Shadowcat & Nightcrawler were official members & Betsy Braddock had not joined the team yet, but she was at the school after the events from The New Mutants Annual #2.

Longshot's membership is from Uncanny X-Men Annual #10, Uncanny X-Men #215-248, Uncanny X-Men Annuals #11-13.

[forepac]

Thanks for all the speedy replies - I appreciate it! Now, on to back-issue hunting... :)

[newscott]

Those issues are my favorites in all of the x-men run. They still hold up and while there are some poor single issues (M-squad), there are some truly great ones as well (Logan and Rogue in Genosha).

[Steven F.]

Ahhhh....the Aussie days....my FAVORITE team, even if it didn't have my fav members.

Storm
Rogue
Psylocke
Dazzler
Longshot
Colossus
Wolverine
Havok
Maddie (I count her)
Gateway - I agree with the higher post

Jubilee later, sort of....kinda

[Titan Slade]

Also, you had Silvestri on art for a lot of these stories.

[Tyrone Slothrop]

I've recently been reading some older Chris Claremont comics that were published in the gap I was away from comics. Now as a big CC fan I have to say that this miniseries was probably the worst thing I've ever read by him.
What I want to know is why did a five issue mini series have four different scripters? was chris removed after issue one? Was Illayana meant to come back, but then editorial overruled it? I've read all 5 issues and I just don't know what to think about it. Any info greatfully recieved.

Or a quick answer, he is residing in Otherworld as Monach of the Multiverse and has god like abilities.

[fishtaco]

Northstar just kicked his ass in X-men 164.

[The Lucky One]

Black Sun was definitely bad, bad stuff. And that's from another huge CC fan. That's why even the upcoming 30th anniversary cash-in special (featuring 3 stories from before that team debuted) can't be as bad as the 25th anniversary Black Sun mini. Ugh.

Captain Britain has all of Roma's powers now, I believe. He's the omniversal guardian.

Sabretooth got owned (and killed) by the Neo. 17 times. So did Mr. Sinister. Caliban put a hurting on him in New Mutants #91 or so. Jean completely knocked the stuffing out of Sabes in X-Men #28. ("You are a firecracker. I am an atom bomb.") And Psylocke has both gotten whupped and handed him a whuppin' before.

which issue did wolverine's alleged daughter appear in? not x-23, rancorn or wild thing. the one that may take place in the actual reality

[Trystenn]

Quick Question? How Fast is Northstar?

Whos Faster QuickSilver or Northstar?

Does Storm have a son thats a speedster? What are his stats?

And what about SpeedDemon? Is he a Mutant?

What About Mongoose?

[The Fury]

Quick Question? How Fast is Northstar?

Whos Faster QuickSilver or Northstar?

Does Storm have a son thats a speedster? What are his stats?

And what about SpeedDemon? Is he a Mutant?

What About Mongoose?
1) Northstar has a maximum speed at MACH 10, or as the Speed of sound (MACH 1) is about 720 mph he can travel (while running or in flight) 7200 mph.

2) Quicksilvers speed is confusing, originally I don't think he could run past the Speed of sound but now with his imrpovement he can run much much much faster. I don't think a top speed has ever been mentioned but I expect him to be faster than Northstar. Northstar rarely chooses to go to his max.

3) Storms son that was a speedster was from the 90's cartoon only, not in the MU. I've no Idea of his speed.

4) SpeedDemon , I think, can't run past 200 mph, still fast but no where near the above 2. He is not a mutant.

5) Again Mongoose is a bit vauge, I don't think he is a mutant, but maybe a gentic experiemtn by the High Evolutionary. Again speed I don't think has been recorded.


I recognise a pattern in this questioning, Speedsters: :)

Here are some of the main mutant Speedsters in the MU:

Quicksilver
Northstar
Aurora (can no longer bgreak the speed of Sound)
Speed Freak (speed ?)
Super Sabre (Super sonic speed).

You could include Sabra (max 60-70mph) and Warpath (max 125-140 mph) as they move pretty fast or any of the time shifters, Tempo, being one., they make it so they appear to be moving fast when everyone else is really moving slowly.

Hope this helps. :) If I went to far, again :)

No, X-23 is a clone. Wolverine does seem to have a real offspring (gender unknown) after a one-night stand with a tribal woman from the SAvage Land as seen in the Special Wolverine - the Jungle adventure

His only other "daughter" would be Amiko. Or maybe the Native. I stopped reading that arc so I don't know who/what she was.

No reason why it wouldn't be, I guess.

I seem to remember reading somewhere that it was considered out-of-continuity. I may be confusing it with Batman's Son of the Demon, though.

As for Northstar, his top speed is Mach 10, but I believe it's been mentioned before that he can't actually go that fast because of pollutants in the air. Quicksilver's top speed is presently unknown, except for being faster than sound and thought.

Son of the Demon is definitely out of continuity (And more's the pity - guess we will never see Ibn al Xufash in mainstream continuity), but I thought that unlike DC Marvel aren't so big on declaring a story out of continuity. Hence I am somewaht surprised at the idea.

-D

I remember that it was said in the Handbooks that Northstar's top speed was near-lightspeed, but he can only reach Mach 10 due to friction and limitations on his own body (not to mention going lightspeed on Earth would mean killing everybody on it).

Quicksilver was stated to move at a maximum of 190 mph in X-factor, but Peter David has admitted that he has big problems dealing with superspeed in his stories and therefore toned Quicksilver down. A similar speed was said in the old Handbooks (though Gruenwald usually tended to understate the powers of characters.. which makes the above speed of Northstar and Aurora as near-lighspeed so weird) Post upgrade, Pietro should be able to at least breach the sound barrier.

Now as to who is faster; it's not that simple a question. In a straight line, Northstar would leave Quicksilver in the dust, but Quicksilver can think far faster, has better reaction time and can turn on a dime.

As for the other speedsters:
Super Sabre could move part of his bodies at the speed of sound and was said to run a mile in 4 seconds. Calculate speed from there.

Speed Demon/Whizzer II used to be able to run at 220 mph, which was faster than Quicksilver, but he lacked Pietro's endurance (Pietro was always moving at superspeed, Speed Demon only for short bursts). Current Speed Demon seems to be at higher levels as well (changing into costume and back to get to a fight while at the same time drinking at a bar with his teammates, without his teammates noticing)

Makkari used to be at several the times of sound, but he reached lightspeed in Quasar. (Big discussion on that one as well: the Runner and Buried Alien, the guys he beat in that race, usually are far past the speed of sound, being able to run between galaxies in hours.)

In 137 Jean Grey dies... now is that Jean Grey or is that the Phoenix form pretending to be her?

Cause didn't it turn out Jean was at the bottom of the lake all along?

[The Fury]

In 137 Jean Grey dies... now is that Jean Grey or is that the Phoenix form pretending to be her?

Cause didn't it turn out Jean was at the bottom of the lake all along?
I think it is commonly taken that Jean sustained great injuries and was left recovering when the X-men came back to Earth and crashed in NY habour, the Phoenix Took over and created a new body/form with all the memories of Jean etc. I think it is also commonly taken that it was the Phoenix that died on the moon in #137. And Jean recovers from her injuries in the Fantasic Four issue she is revived in.

Hope that helps.

Hey everyone. I have a question:
When did Cable first show his psionic abilities? Did he have them when he first appeared? (I was pretty sure not). And if anyone can not hate me, could someone give me a run down of his powers, like how they've changed and got weaker or stronger etc? Thanks!

Cable's psionic powers were intergrated into the mainstream Marvel Universe after The Adventures of Cyclops & Phoenix #1-4. When Cable was first introduced in The New Mutants #87, he seemingly possessed no mutant powers.

Cable possesses extremely powerful telepathic & telekinetic powers, but his telekinetic powers were hampered by keeping the techno-organic virus in check within his body; therefore, he could not use his telekinesis to a great degree. Just like Rachel Summers (Phoenix II), his "sister," Cable has the potential to tap into the Phoenix Force.

Cable is more reliant on his parliamentry military training & his various weapons from the future.

He first showed his telekinesis in X-force #1, but it was still very weak at the time; he was floating tools around the workshop with it.

His telepathy was first used in the New Warriors/X-force crossover "Child's Play". That would be X-force #33 unless I'm mistaken.

His powers became stronger over time due to practice (he became to rely on them more and some other factors). In his own series, his powers slowly increased: he was capable of levitating himself. By the time of the Phalanx-crossover/Adventures of Cyclops of Phoenix (in publishing time), Cable was still a weak telepath/telekinetic, but his powers had some use.

His powers were vastly decreased after the Psi-War, but thanks to the Psimitar, a futuristic weapon that looked like a spear he could still access them, even at levels he couldn't before. (Cable #57-58)

His major boost in power came after the Legacy Virus was cured; the cure affected the techno-organic virus that limited Cable's powers and in Cable #100, Cable was able to use his telepathy and telekinesis on himself to remove the techno-organic virus.

What is the status of Rogue, the Hellfire Club and Cannonball?

[Tenebrae]

What is the status of Rogue, the Hellfire Club and Cannonball?

Cannonball was a member of Storm's team of X-Men in Uncanny for one storyline recently, then was pulled away to star in the X-Force mini. That's just finished and whether or not he's returning to the X-Men, I'm not sure. (Others will be able to tell you more).

Rogue is currently sporting just her natural power of absorbing the memories and powers of others, though rumours are that she's about to regain the Ms. Marvel powers. She's a member of Havok's team of X-Men in adjectiveless. She also has her own solo series and is currently on an adventure with Sunfire. I'm not sure how she lost the Ms. Marvel powers. (Others will be able to tell you more).

The Hellfire Club recently featured in a storyline in Uncanny. Sunspot is now the Lord Imperial, and Sage has left the X-Men to become his advisor. I think Courtney Ross is now the White Queen, and am fairly sure Sebastian Shaw has been removed from his position, but I haven't gotten around to reading the story yet so I'm not exactly sure. (Others will be able to tell you more).

The general theme of this is that others will be able to tell you more, but at least its a start! :D
