Dirty Deeds w/ Marrow!

Dirty Deeds!

"Dirty Deeds" is a series of threads where a discussion can be held about the morally questionable, or outright evil acts of characters in comics. It might be a discussion about times a hero crossed a moral line they shouldn't have, or a discussion of a villain's most horrific acts in their history, but the premise remains the same.

Where possible, a poll will be included to vote upon said character's "dirtiest deed".

Please do remember that there are no wrong answers, this is all a matter of opinion. Since everyone has a different set of morals, please try and respect differences in people's own beliefs.

For our fourteenth profile, I’m going with a former X-Man who kept bouncing back and forth from hero to villain, but always had a mean streak a mile long. A woman so tough she didn’t even stay dead after having her own beating heart ripped out! If you couldn’t guess, this edition of Dirty Deeds is with...



Marrow!!!

So what is Marrow's Dirtiest Deed?

- Killing other Morlocks on “The Hill” to advance in its hierarchy and move up to the haven at the top of that alternate dimension to become one of Mikhail Rasputin’s elite, in Gene Nation? (revealed in Storm (vol. 1) #2)

- Murdering a homeless drug addict upon her return ot the Morlock tunnels? (X-Men: Prime #1)

- Massacring a whole nightclub full of humans as part of the misguided revenge of Gene Nation, against those they deemed responsible for the Morlock Massacre? (Uncanny X-Men #322)*

- Kidnapping Leech with Hemingway? (Generation X #5)

- Capturing and torturing Emma Frost while using Leech to prevent her from using her psionic powers? (Generation X #6)*

- With the rest of Gene Nation, attempting to slaughter a whole subway car full of humans by wiring them with explosives, and having the detonator wired to her own heart so that Storm would have to rip her heart out to save them, or let them die. (Uncanny X-Men #325)*

There you have it, the most morally egregious moments from the bona fide bone-wielder herself. Now vote for you think is the worst of Marrow’s Dirty Deeds!

HAHAHAHAHA, she put a dead rat under Kitty Pryde's pillow. I love it! We need a picture of that.

That, and showing Cannonball her breasts are my favorite two on this list. They're not the worst, by far, but they are the most hilarious for me.

A dead rat for Kitty?


I like her more already.

[AcesX1X]

Marrow was such a mess! Her attitude was worse than Feral's!

I did love that time she stabbed Wolverine in the throat, tho. That was classic 'wtf where are your pills?' moment.

Marrow is the scary kind of love that must be kept at arms distance.

I would say Marrow is better than Feral, since she was trying to get better as an X-Man. After the six month gap... they kept her as an anti-hero, until Frank Tieri got a hold of her, and made her effectively sell her soul for a prettier face.

Did they ever explain why/how she went from all smooth-skinned and pretty in Weapon X to bony and sharp again towards the end of that run? I have a slight gap in my memory there.

They don't specifically say, but she shows up in Weapon X (vol. 2) #19 with the bones back, and its implied that somehow Weapon X reversed the process from a distance, or the treatments needed to be ongoing to continue to keep her good looks.

But again, it's left pretty vague.

[XaviersMisprint]

HAHAHAHAHA MARROW. i forgot what an absolute piece of $#!+ she was!

she's seriously the x-men's biggest bitch ever. she reminds me of a rabid dog that runs around stealing steaks off of the kitchen table and then peeing on anyone that tries to take it back.

she stole so many things from the other x-men! cecelia reye's medical notes? colossus's sketch book... what a bitch! haha i just picture her running around in shadows, and like hiding in a room crying as cecelia or storm are brushing their hair in the mirror singing "i feel pretty", cutting herself with a sharp bone and then stealing their brush and breaking the mirror once they exit the room, then running back to her basement screaming "SUCK IT, X-BITCH!"

After spending her first few years of life living in a sewer, then moving to "The Hill", getting her powers and literally being thrown to a toxic wasteland, with her only hope for survival being to kill her way back to the top... I think Marrow's reasons for turning evil over being gone a decade are there.

And yet... she was trying to redeem herself. And that's what you're forgetting. Are the deeds listed here dirty? Oh hell yeah. But in Marrow, there was the same kind of second chance the X-Men had given people like Wolverine, or Rogue. They tried to teach her a different way, and it was working...

Until some mysterious event made her leave during the six month gap. One that's never been explained. So, hate her if you want, but to me, she was a deranged child who was finally realizing that life wasn't one cruel mishap after another.

I'd stfu too if Storm ripped out my still-beating heart with her bare hands. I don't blame Marrow for briefly turning a new leaf.

[jarrod]

She was hot for Kitty. Are she and Callisto a couple now?

[AcesX1X]

Ew, jarrod. gross. That's incestuous! Callisto is totes Marrow's MOM.

[Bingo!]

I hope Marrow moves to SF. She can begin the Muni Morlocks.

Her first dirty deed in SF could be a bloodfest with the Sisterhood.

[jarrod]

Stepmom. With benefits.
