Rogue & Joseph had a lot to do with it, too.

142534-91240-joseph.jpg


After all, he was originally portrayed as Magneto reborn rather than a clone of Magneto.
Actually it started when Rogue and Magneto were on the Savage Land.

That's why Rogue is the one to confront Magento in X-Men #1.

Then them being married with a child in the Age of Apocalypse.

Then Joseph stuff.

Kitty's true love is Rachel please excuse yourself from the conversation.

Hi

Kitty is mega poly. Rachel and Illyana are her primaries


I literally built an X-Team

A SeX-Team?

Based on women she could get with.

You Could Build a Bitchin X-Team Using Just Women Who Are Definitely Gay For/Would Date Kate Pryde or Maybe Could Be/Might

The age of the Peter Team is over You fuckin' hear my Slayven The future is Lady! Leader of the Team: Kate Pryde obviously Team in order of likelyhood of dating Kate: Rachel Summers, Illyana Rasputin, Emma Frost, Xi'an Coy Mahn, Rahne Sinclair. I'm sure there are more because like what...

Okay I hear you but what if instead Kitty dated a middle aged man named Peter who definitely isn't the current writer's vicarious self insert.

Jesus you don't have to come at Slayven 's soul like that

Hey I'm not (just) calling out Slayven's tragic and misguided love for Pete Wisdom.

Some jerk got it in his head that Kitty and Colossus wasn't actually a child crushing on a nice older boy who lets her down because he will literally never be able to reciprocate but was in fact twu wuv, and then Bendis did it twice in Ultimate Spider-Man, and again with fucking Star Lord of all people.

All the criticisms about Gambit are true. But I will always love the character anyway.

Yes I remember. That is Joe Mad as the artist on that run! Literally one of my all time fav artist.

Battle Chasers for life!

Speaking of, that comic is coming back officially with a new artist approved by Joe.
Super pissed about that. It was part of the Batrlechasers kickstarter and implied Joe Mad would draw it. I just don't understand how he concepts full games and extra marvel stuff but can't finish the last issue.

also re: Kitty Pryde and Rasputins, the only Rasputin she belongs with

I know right

"Why is this hot dangerous rebel French speaking guy with a secret heart of gold who has super cool powers so popular? I just don't get it. Don't they know Hal Jordan is right there?"

I hear you, I felt that way too but I sorta just got over it cause there is nothing I can do to change it and it's damn shame.

I haven't made it that far.

I do remember when the x-men got their ass handed to them by a Dr. Frankenstein's (alien made automaton) monster.

The 80's Hawkeye mini is legit, it's where they introduced mockingbird

I have this very comic in a pile somewhere. I actually thought it was a good storyline. It gave Gbit s bit of depth. I was never really a big fan of him before.

Hawkeye Vol 3, skip the matt fraction dung. Clint being down and out and broing it up with the amazing Blazing Skull
1000


Silver Surfer vol 5, this is a different take. It presents Surfer as more as a framing device and super alien and eldritchy

This is the worst thing that has ever been said on this website.

Let the man speak.

I'm not gonna comment on the quality, I haven't read it, but I have experienced the fallout that came from the series that took Hawkeye, a swashbuckling loudmouth carnie with such an ego that he thought he could take on a billionaire in a flying death tank with a bow and arrow, and then turned him into The Regular Joe of the team who very relatably screws up and looks silly even though Hawkeye saved the effing day as much as anyone.

I'm sure Fraction Hawkeye is good, it wouldn't get so much praise otherwise, but goddamn was it not worth it.

Fraction's Hawkeye was great and did add little touches that help the character stand out more -- like him having his hearing damaged and still being a superhero even though he has to rely on hearing aids (that came from Tony Stark so he might as well have not lost his hearing, but still) -- but in the grand scheme, I think it did more harm than good to both Hawkeyes. They were most definitely better characters before that run than they were after.

Hawkeye: Freefall makes up for the tonal shift and works to balance both aspects, but it would've been better if it didn't have to keep in line with the post-Fraction personality quirks, IMO.

If you guys wanted an alternate ending, there's a What If comic where Archangel hunts down Gambit for the massacre. It's not that bad actually.

Apocalypse is most certainly liked because of the animated series where he was actually a great villain with a memorable performance.
He went 2-for-2 on great appearances with Evolution. Wolverine and the X-Men would have done Age of Apocalypse if they had a second season.
