Well Deadpool's ability to shapeshift isn't new to Bendis. Just reading the Wikipedia article it noted that early on in 616 Deadpool had an image inducer. It could be as simple as that, especially given the technological make up of his team. But overall I've been underwhelmed by this...

I also have to agree, the nanites are not a cop out plot device. they were mentioned early on and it works. If things are as they seem Tony's given his favourite lady a nice toy and one that will keep her safe. If he proves justified in his cynicism then it gives him a control mechanism over...

My point about Magneto being able to tell when his mind's being read, was that most telepath's wouldn't bother unless they had good reaon to. A) This Emma doesn't seem the type to casually read someone's mind if she were a telepath B) It's not something you'd tend to do because that would get...

As I said when this issue came out, there's a perfectly logical reason we can throw in for Fury acting so strangely. The transmissions didn't only affect telepaths so it only goes to figure they were affecting everyone down in that base. Fury may be hard as nails but in the end he's only human...

Whoops, forgot about the scene in the cell... But given that she was angry she may have been distracted, and she doesn't seem as invasive as Xavier.... so who knows. Also, I tend to think most telepaths would avoid just randomly reading Magneto's mind because he'd be sure to notice. He did...

For one thing Emma wasn't anywhere near Magneto (even Xavier has to be somewhere near someone to read their mind without Cerebro). Second Mystique was wearing the telepathy blocking helmet, which is why Jean didn't spot the imposter either. No telepath would have been able to.

Well if we go by 1602 continuity Spider-Man gets executed by the government along with all the other superheroes as an old man. So going by main Marvel universe timing that's about when the sun burns itself out here in reality. And as for DC, well Superman can be killed off in one age of...

Re: Ultimate Spider-Man #86 discussion (spoilers) Ah I see, I was going by the Spider-Man cartoon of several years past, where they appeared to be some sort of energy balsts. Shocker to electricity was simple conclusion. And really for a guy who uses vibrations wouldn't Vibrator be more...

Re: Ultimate Spider-Man #86 discussion (spoilers) Some characters are just unredeemable. For instance would anyone care to describe how say Stilt-Man (to take another villian Bendis has deservedly ridiculed) could be made cool. His power is super extendible stilts.... and given the name it's...

Preview looks pretty good. We have a good explanation as to why they grabbed Flash and missed Peter. This is why it might have been a good idea to wait for this issue before complaining how lame it was for them to grab Flash out of the alley when Peter swung in. Bendis' writing on USM hasn't...

Most likely But it looks like Wraith had overall command of the project, even from the early days (when it would have been very small given that they only had Wolverine). General Ross would be his immediate superior, and Fury at one point a junior officer who when promoted to Colonial moved...

I have a response to Hawkeye's 'Return to Weapon X' proof. Couple things to consider, when we first see Wraith in UXM #2 neither he or any of the soldiers with him are wearing any special insignia. Yet we know from the next Arc that weapon X is a SHIELD division. So we see here that...

Same difference. And besides Austin was so bad that he went from one of the most prolific writers in comicdom, to the point where his name on the cover was enough to put a book out of print. It's one thing for the intellectual snobs to call you a bad writer but when the general public finds...

Yes he was. This is the guy who made Nightcrawler the son of the devil. Game, point, match. Doctor: So Mr. Stark I have to recommend to put the Iron Man thing on hold given the kind of manic delusions your brain tumour is causing. Tony: Cut off my foot, I dare you, go on! Doctor: Um...

I'm gonna doa few responses here after reading the whole thread, so lets hope this makes sense. Boomarang: This was one of those lame Marvel villians that Bendis has loved mocking ruthlessly since he started up. Hemade fun of him in Daredevil and now he's making fun of him Ultimate style...
