Recently, in Ultimate X-Men, Longshot lost to Scarlet Witch because she shot some sort of probability blast at him. Am I the only one that thinks that the writers had him jobbing big time?

If we were to do this over again on thisboard, I think longshot would have a better chance.

Basically, Domino, Longhot, and Shatterstar should be immune to the Scarlet Witch's powers, and this wasn't shown in the book.

Immune? I don't think so. They both control probability, so it becomes a matter of who has more/stronger control, and I have no problem believing Wanda has more powerful control of it than Longshot.

I'm a little confused on how probablity control turns someone into a cat though....

Then you really should stay away from the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy series. Probability control does some crazy stuff in those books. Like raining fried eggs on a planet. Or causing a tectonic plate to flip like a pancake.

maybe she ups the infinitesimal probability of someone spontaneously turning into a cat?

Hmm, are there any scans we can get hold of to help clear this up?

I don't think scans are going to reveal anything that hasn't been said here. Longshot vs. Scarlet Witch: Longshot throws blades, Wanda dodges them , Longshot notes how he never misses, Wanda notices the similarity in their powers and turns Longshot into a cat.

In heaps the shining horsemen lie, where the thrusting lances break, And deep in the haunted mountains, the lost, black gods awake. Dead hands grope in the shadows, the stars turn pale with fright, For this is the Dragon's Hour, the triumph of Fear and Night.
