>;) Oh yes, Rogue and Storm were badasses. And Jean Grey could've been one too, if she wouldn't have been a love interest first and a X-Man second. Which reminds me that I still need a new avatar. TO THE OTHER THREAD.
Well I think that Jean Grey had some good character development as a main character but if you want to be Jean Grey, by extension you want to be married to a douchebag. Don't marry douchebags.
I used to want to be Wolverine when I grew up. Yes, I was one of those kids. In my defense, it was because he was a legitimately short guy who was also a badass, and I was seriously tiny until I had a growth spurt around age 16. Like, 155cm/5'-nothing tiny.
Gambit seems pretty cool. I like that he accidentally wound up having one of the best romances in comics history, he doesn't come off as a complete toolbag, and his gimmicks (kinetic energy, the card throwing thing, and the Bo) seem pretty nifty. But I've never actually read a Gambit comic. The Dazzler could be a fucking awesome superhero (laserbeams that can blind people through closed eyelids, ability to shoot darkness using interferometry, the ability to cut things accurately at arbitrary distances, signalling, and that's before we get into light's more weird properties, emag, and shooting gamma rays) but she was treated lamely. headcanon!Dazzler is a performing artist and lights specialist who consults for movies and TV shows, and moonlights as a superhero with fucking laser beams, and if you manage to corner her she'll melt your brain into a puddle of goo with gamma rays. Also headcanon!Dazzler briefly goes toe-to-toe with evil Magneto because light has emag effects. She loses, sure, but it's not a Worf Effect kind of loss.
I make it a rule to not ship anything ever (exception among the LP crowd I imagine, though that's already true because I spend more time not in LP than in) but Rogue and Gambit are my OTP, the only one I have and the only one I care about. Though I've not read any comics in a while, but I'll probably start again with the new all female team because I'm curious where they will go with it. I would've preffered it if they had thrown in a token man just to show how fucked up the gender relations in for example The Avengers movie was, but I guess that wasn't really the point they were going for. I'll stop derailing this thread now, I promise.
In that case, I recommend Uncanny X-Force. A black-ops team with Psylocke, Storm, Cluster, Spiral - and Puck. Four ladies and one Canadian dwarf.
WILL THEY OR WON'T THEY? Tune in, on the next episode of Broken Sexiness! ...Hmm, I'm terrible at thinking up titles on the grind like that. ^^;;
I can't get used to Soli-chan's new avatar. It seems strange and wrong, like if Christopher Walken suddenly had a new face halfway through Avengers.
Note: That is not meant to offend flaming crotches. If a crotch wants to be aflame, I am not one to get in the way. Especially since I'm not fire-resistant.
