121: Iceman can't live with global warming, becomes a road protester.

jel -- (jel), Thursday, 3 March 2005 18:12 (twenty years ago)

(cue: the envionmental Avengers, an educational comic printed on recycled paper - ends with the Watcher weeping - even superheroes couldn't save the Earth from the folly of man)

jel -- (jel), Thursday, 3 March 2005 18:14 (twenty years ago)

122. Uatu The Watcher renounces his passive ways and becomes ... UATU THE DOER!

David R. (popshots75`), Thursday, 3 March 2005 18:23 (twenty years ago)

124. "Then -- I'm not a mutant! I instead got my powers from a radioactive wolverine! I must leave the X-Men -- forever!! Bub!!"

128. The Thing turns to rubber!

jel -- (jel), Thursday, 3 March 2005 18:27 (twenty years ago)

[122 is all the Watcher stories if "egging other people on to do something" counts as "doing," anyway. Blind Watcher -> Earth X. Ugh.]

Tep (ktepi), Thursday, 3 March 2005 18:28 (twenty years ago)

129. Professor X's secondary mutation is to change all of reality - into a cooler version of itself! "Mind -- reshaping the space-time continuum -- TO THE EXTREME!!"

Vic Fluro, Thursday, 3 March 2005 18:29 (twenty years ago)

The word "becomes" in #122 is doing a lot of work.

(Much like Uatu)

xpost w/Tep!

Tom (Groke), Thursday, 3 March 2005 18:29 (twenty years ago)

I suddenly cracked up at the idea of "bub" being the only word Wolverine can say, a la "Malkovich".

Jordan (Jordan), Thursday, 3 March 2005 18:30 (twenty years ago)

Well, yeah, Uatu's a busybody, but in my mind, there was a "ties on a red bandana, grabs an M16, gets the Ultimate Nullifier tattooed on his right bicep, and ..." before "becomes".

David R. (popshots75`), Thursday, 3 March 2005 18:32 (twenty years ago)

130. No more superpowers!!!!

jel -- (jel), Thursday, 3 March 2005 18:33 (twenty years ago)

I wonder if the Ultimate Nullifer in the Ultimate Marvelverse turns into the RADICAL XTREME NULLIFIER.

David R. (popshots75`), Thursday, 3 March 2005 18:33 (twenty years ago)

131. All spandex is tainted and unclean! Unstable molecules are too unstable! Laundry detergeant makes them chafe, and poly-cotton blends are gauche! In order to save the world, our intrepid heroes must do ... THE FULL MONTY!

David R. (popshots75`), Thursday, 3 March 2005 18:35 (twenty years ago)

David R. (popshots75`), Thursday, 3 March 2005 20:03 (twenty years ago)

Oh, wait - sorry.

145. There's a third Summers brother?

David R. (popshots75`), Thursday, 3 March 2005 22:16 (twenty years ago)

Where were you in the 90s, Daver?

The Ghost of Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Thursday, 3 March 2005 22:20 (twenty years ago)

I was gettin' some. Sleep, that is.

David R. (popshots75`), Thursday, 3 March 2005 22:24 (twenty years ago)

haha, that guy is totally bonkers! WHAT A RUBBISH PLOT!

dave k, Thursday, 3 March 2005 22:27 (twenty years ago)

HOLY!

David R. (popshots75`), Thursday, 3 March 2005 22:29 (twenty years ago)

I'll admit, that whole convoluted hootenanny sounds way cool in a "sweet crap MORE convoluted hootenanny" way. (And, really, the X-Men is all about convoluted hootenanny, so it slots in nicely.)

David R. (popshots75`), Thursday, 3 March 2005 22:31 (twenty years ago)

Robert We1nberg there is forever a place for you on ILC.

Well, on this thread.

Tom (Groke), Thursday, 3 March 2005 23:58 (twenty years ago)

Tom's have been the best, because they're plausible - but absolutely horrible.

The Yellow Kid, Friday, 4 March 2005 00:55 (twenty years ago)

Including the one where Superdog uses the blackifier to turn himself into a cat?

The Ghost of Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Friday, 4 March 2005 04:45 (twenty years ago)

Out of a morbid curiosity as to the Cable plot linked above I went over to the X-Axis to check out what it had to say about Weinberg's Cable run and found this:

http://www.thexaxis.com/reviews/200501.html

Paragraph 3, beginning "Over in subplots", is the one with particular relevance I think...

Tom (Groke), Friday, 4 March 2005 08:03 (twenty years ago)

What is it with white comic book women and their burning need to be black?

The Ghost of Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Friday, 4 March 2005 12:49 (twenty years ago)

146. That's right, Alfred. The new Robin is none other than...SUPERMAN'S PAL JIMMY OLSEN! But first he must prove himself worthy by battling the ANGRY GHOST OF JASON TODD!

Philip Alderman (Phil A), Friday, 4 March 2005 22:57 (twenty years ago)

I'd buy that in less than a second.

Vic Fluro, Friday, 4 March 2005 23:09 (twenty years ago)

147. Give the Comic Book Guy an actual name.

Leeeter van den Hoogenband (Leee), Saturday, 5 March 2005 02:29 (twenty years ago)

We should vote on which of these should become real stories (I just read through the list again and found at least ten that I would absolutely buy) and then send Marvel a petition. And call ourselves, like, LAMP or something (League of Admirers of Maddy Pryor, obv).

Tep (ktepi), Saturday, 5 March 2005 03:40 (twenty years ago)

148. Maddy Prior the singer sues Maddie Pryor the comic character for copyright infringement!

jocelyn (Jocelyn), Monday, 7 March 2005 16:32 (twenty years ago)

149. There's a new Black Widow in town and she's a blonde bitch! (Oh wait, they did that.)

The Ghost of Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Monday, 7 March 2005 17:52 (twenty years ago)

I need to get something done for the new Just 1 Page anthology and I'm considering doing the Jimmy Versus Jason Todd's Ghost fight... I'll credit Philip with plot if he lets me.

Vic Fluro, Wednesday, 9 March 2005 01:04 (twenty years ago)

Yeah, okay. I'd like to see that!

Philip Alderman (Phil A), Wednesday, 9 March 2005 12:23 (twenty years ago)

David R. (popshots75`), Wednesday, 9 March 2005 18:01 (twenty years ago)

151. "No - it CAN'T be - according to this birth certificate, Uncle Ben's real surname... WAS GRIMM!"

Tom (Groke), Thursday, 31 March 2005 17:01 (twenty years ago)

(may actually have been Al's idea.)

Tom (Groke), Thursday, 31 March 2005 17:03 (twenty years ago)

I vaguely remember that one floating over someone's pint of fatman.

Vic Fluro, Thursday, 31 March 2005 17:42 (twenty years ago)

Ha ha, still doing Jimmy vs Jason Todd's ghost.

152. Batgirl, why do you wear that full face mask. Why, if we remove it we find out that you were actual Ace The Bat-hound all along!!!
