Sage Week: Build Your Own Sage ... Team

[darknessatnoon]

Of the O6, Cyclops and Sage are the only ones really qualified to run a team. But instead of doing what Cyclops does -- i.e., relying on whatever dregs are at hand (Beast, Jean Grey, Colossus, Wolverine) --, don't you think Sage should take some initiative and recruit entirely new members?

I, for one, expect Sage to think outside the box for her recruitment drive. Like, for example, that sweetie pie, Elsie Dee.



She's adorable and can connect to the internet. Who else should be issued invitations to Sage's try-outs?

Wait a minute, Cyclops, Wolverine dregs? What are you talking about? Wolverine is the most popular X Man for a reason. I don't see this Sage character getting a movie - hell I don't even know who this Sage character is. This forum is strange

Tangerine! A young and powerful mutant british telepath who needs desperately needs Tessa's wisdom and guidance. I mean, just witness what a Sageless Tangerine grew up to dress like on Earth-811 (I suspect The Dazzler mentored her).

Elsie Dee is designed and fully equipped to kill Wolverine. He's not necessary to Sage when she can go one better.

I second Tangerine

Popular does not = superior, or better character. I find currently written Wolverine to be very badly in most books. And I dont' like to have to see him in EVERY book I buy.

Well I doubt that very much. I went to find out about this Elsie Dee character on wikipedia and guess what - she isn't even listed! Some threat to Wolverine, some made up Mary Sue you've created yourself:rolleyes:

Elsie-Dee was created along with her counterpart, Albert (a robot double of Wolverine), by Donald Pierce. These androids were designed to kill Wolverine. The Wolverine double was to act as the bait and Elsie-Dee (who outwardly appears to be a 5 year old girl) was to trap Wolverine in a burning building were she would detonate with sufficient force to kill him.

The plan failed because one of Pierces' henchmen, Bonebreaker, accidentally gave Elsie-Dee the maximum artificial intelligence one of Pierce's automatons was capable of, instead of the intended intellect of a 5 year old. As a result Elsie-Dee eventually found a way to defuse her detonation sequence and enhanced the primitive intelligence of her counterpart, giving him intelligence beyond even hers. Having met Wolverine, she and her counterpart decided that he was a noble person and did not deserve to die and consequently abandoned their mission.

The two robots risked their existences several times for each other and for Wolverine. At some point they travelled in time and had several adventures, eventually gaining an AI stealth bomber and the companionship of the Hunter in Darkness, white-haired wolf-like creature whom Wolverine twice rescued from confinement, which Elsie-Dee dubs "Puppy". Their current whereabouts are unknown.

Powers and abilities

Though appearing to be a 5 year old girl, Elsie-Dee had abilities far exceeding her appearance. She was very strong, could interface directly with computers, and had an intellect greater than her designer, Donald Pierce, who was himself a genius in the field of robotics.

Wikipedia is your friend. Or your enemy, if you don't know what you're looking for.

I can't find a Tangerine wiki entry either!? Tessa should rectify both oversights immediately.

Remember people, a VOTE for TANGERINE means that we can stop things like this:



from happening.

Vote with your hearts, people.

Repetition can only help with this guy.

OK, I apologise I made a mistake however the article says she was designed to trap Wolverine in a burning building where she would detonate with sufficient force to kill him - which is just ludicrous. I don't really approve of her being a robot either. This does not sound like a character I want to see more of.

Don't knock a character before you know what he/she's all about. She and Albert are quite an interesting set of characters.
