Questions for Brian Wood

[briancwood]

Brian,

Can we expect to see more interaction between Kitty/Utopia and President Cap in your book? I got the feeling that Cap wasn't very happy with the options he was able to provide Kitty and was hoping to see their relationship explored further.

That's gonna depend on how the Cap thing goes in Ultimates.

That sounds ominous....hope Cap won't have too much in common with Lincoln, besides the whole reuniting a broken country thing.

Not ominous at all, I just mean that the Ultimates story will dictate most, if not all, of what Cap does. if there's natural intersections with X-Men, we can take advantage of that.

Good to hear that, I hope it works out that there is some more interaction there.

Is there any chance that any LGBTQ characters will show up in your run?

Lesbian. Gay. Bi. Transgendered. Quinten Quire?

Lesbian. Gay. Bi. Transgendered. Quinten Quire?

Y'know, I've looked at several different gay-support and gay-rights websites in hopes of answering this very question, but none of them seem to agree on what the "Q" stands for. I've seen "Queer" and "Questioning" in equal numbers.

Colossus if he is still alive would be the best bet.

I feel like I'm pestering you at this point but I just read your "X-position" article, thank you for answering my questions btw , and I saw your third arc is called X-War. Can you give us any non-spoiler info on this arc because the title alone has me super excited.

The q & a this week was good but I felt it alluded to a possible cop out regarding Psylocke. It seems like a mistake was made, it may have ben pointed out she's acting out of character and so now it may go along the lines of "oh shit we better change it and say it's not actually her!" Which I can understand, but as a fan of Psylocke it's just a bit bad to see her get that kind of treatment. IF that's how it goes down. No disrespect to Wood or anyone but I just feel she's a big character in her own right and I dun know...it just sucks, only if you're a Besty fan that is!

Yeah it does seem that way, but you know what? I prefer Wood picking up on a possible error and doing what he can to appease the fans rather than just ignore continuity and do what he wanted. If I had to guess, Editorial said Wood could use the character so he ULTIMATIZED her, then realized that it's already been done so now there were two versions of her in the UU, so now he might make a backstory that explains how she changed from A to B, which will tie into how she is once again alive. Like, for example, maybe her consiousness got corrupted in death and when she entered a new body she lost memories or gained a slightly evil attitude.

I'm fine with it either way.

I'm actually getting really annoyed at people nitpicking on ever single error. Yes we get it they made a mistake. People do that all the time. Do people complain so much when almost every single movie made has a ton of mistakes. no. Just enjoy the story and the characters. nitpicking is good when there are huge mistakes but really some of these small mistakes I have seen worse in the 616.

Hey, Brian just got linked here. One question. Will Kitty Pryde and Liz Allen have any future interaction at some point in your run? I just think it'd be awesome.

I agree. There are more important matters afoot. Like Apocalypse and how he orchestrated the extinction of the mutants in America.

Would be pretty cool if this turned out to be a case of Came Back Wrong making her into Ultimate Revanche. I'm glad to hear that we're gonna get further development on Betsy.
