AvX #9 *Preview*

[Imraith Nimphais]

Thor Shmor, who cares?....wot about all those wicked-awesome variant covers?

[XPac]

why would they need to torture him ?

Why is Magik torturing any of them? The answer is probably that she's just kind of a bitch. Like we're seeing in X-Men legacy.

That's the nice thing about the Rasputins in this weeks batch of books... they're doing a great job getting people to to side with the Avengers.

I'm either seriously confused or the writers are treating the Thor beatdowns like a series of "What If?"'s. Did Emma just leave him be after she beat the snot of him during their tussle? That was either on Utopia or Shield if I recall right, not in Egypt.

[lilyinblue]

I realize I need to go back and re-read stuff.

I'm pretty sure I know when everyone on the 'captured' list was nabbed, but I completely listed most of the injuries.

[Hariel0079]

I'm not 100% sure , but the Emma fight may have been a simulation.

hmm.. don't know.

She beat him, but she didn't capture him.

Perhaps it's the same reason as why they didn't keep the Red Hulk... Thor might be too powerful to hold. At the time.

But if Magiks prison is now working, they probably feel they have a facility capable of holding him.

all the P5 besides scott will lose control and start being crazy ...

Namor : invade wakanda
Emma : Provoke namor to invade wakanda , burning hawkeye , Trying to kill red hulk
Magik : creating limbo prison
Colossus : torturing spider-man

when this event over , i think scott will become the tragic hero of this event , because till right now the writers dont have any guts to put cyclops acting like villain ...they just put him right on the middle acting like crossing the line , but still have some morale

Yeah, that's how I see it too,XPac.

If they want Scott to lose the control (and I'm only say IF... who knows, he might be able to hold the line), then I suspect it'll happen at the very end of the book.

He's essentially the sole reason the P5 have a leg to stand on at the moment. Even Colossus at this point went off the deep end and attacked the Jean Grey school... and he was arguably the nicest of the bunch. Arguably.

So I think Scott will be able to keep it MOSTLY together until the 11th issue or so.

Spady YOU CAN!!!!

He was, but he also has a habit of bottling up his emotions (usually anger) and then exploding. Him getting the Phoenix was just begging for trouble in that regard.

In generaly, the Phoenix 5 were a horrible group of people to get the power, except maybe Scott (and even he was seeing better days than what we've seen in recent years).

Namor and Emma are both former villains who truthfully haven't done anything with the P5 that they wouldn't normally do. Colossus is possessed by a demon, while his sister practically is one.

I think no way in hell this was going to turn out well.

[Hariel0079]

After reading WATXM my theory is that Scott is trying to completely occupy himself in fixing the world and it's problems (Avengers not included) as he had shown by fixing the San Andreas fault... so that he doesn't get consumed by the PF... and'll probably crack simply cause of the Rasputins and Emmas actions.

[ariwl1]

The reason I'm currently running with why Scott hasn't really lost it yet as opposed to the others is because of his conversation with Moon!Jean in Infinite #2. She flat out told him he was in danger of losing his humanity so he'd better watch out and that warning seems to have stuck...so far.

Seriously, that story may have been short but it's probably the best thing to come out of AvX so far.

[Rheged]

I rolled my eyes at Spider-Man's Uncle Ben comment.

My eyes haven't stopped rolling since it was revealed that HE was the one that had to train hope.

I realize I need to go back and re-read stuff.

Wanda was injured in the battle with Namor. But I thought Vision, Beast and Daredevil came out of that fine. I'm assuming Captain Britain got it in Secret Avengers. Mockingbird??? Hank Pym maybe in Avengers Academy?

Sadly, no. Cyke is getting the favored son treatment.

But I wouldn't say any of those things say Emma is going crazy. One, I don't think she provoked Namor at all. And the other two are arguably self defense. That said, I'm pretty sure her time is coming, cause Marvel has to make Scott look good.
