That's ridiculously simple, but it actually works!

Except now you get into the one HUGE problem that Vaughn has mercifully avoided, so far -- to what extent can Nico use the Staff to bend reality? If she can fix Molly, couldn't she just jump-start ALL mutants who formerly possessed the X-gene, with a single spell?
It doesn't have to be bending reality... Wanda could've said that and mutants just lost their powers. Nico in turn doesn't reverse reality back but simply grants Molly her powers back.

NRAMA: "Dash-Dot" continues: "2). How will mutant characters not involved with X-Books or New Avengers be affected by this change?

"For example, both Princess Powerful and Ricochet, currently featured in Runaways, are mutants. Did they make the cut or will they be affected?

"Likewise, the Great Lakes Avengers/Great Lakes X-Men, who will be featured in a Christmas special later this year. They're all mutants, so will they still be around?"

JQ: See, after all of this whole Joe Fridays where I get to divulge so much you ask me the one question that I'm going to have to give you a "Wait and see" on.

Wait and see...
OK. That was helpful. :roll: *Crawles back under the rock he came from.*

It's just like the "Stay Tuned"- it sucks, but we just gotta suck it up cuz that means they would spoil something that we can't find out for a couple months.

*Sigh*.... :cry:

I hope we don't lose Princess Powerful, she rocks.

Hey! Hey! She's 18! She said so!
Isn't she meant to be like....14? Because I say I'm 18 all the time. That doesn't mean its true.
 
Re: Runaways series discussion (spoliers)

I'm pretty sure she's still 11...:roll:

I think you're confusing her with Molly. When they had the meeting, they said that they were now grown up, from USED TO BEING superheroes.

So :roll: to you!
 
Re: Runaways series discussion (spoliers)

What are you talking about Ice? Princess Powerful is Molly!:roll:

EDIT: I hate this new edit system... And who cares what they say, you pedophile. ;)

Don't worry, you'll get your chance soon enough, my friend. You won't have to suffer very long -- I understand big jailbreaks a VERY common these days. Triskelion, the Raft, all those other supposedly impenetrable prisons... send in a couple of upgraded D-listers, the whole thing goes to sh!t pretty quick.

You'll all be headed to the (mostly) super-hero-free stomping grounds of L.A., to reunite with your precious jailbait, in no time, buddy.

Not really. One of her limitations is the One Spell Once rule, so theres a good chance that if she pointed at Molly and said Mutate that she wouldn't be able to do a mass mutation.

That's all right I just wanted to solve Molly's problem not the entire mutants. Besides the runaways don't care about anyone but themselves. Nico probably wouldn't jump at helping everyone get their powers back.
 
Re: Runaways series discussion (spoliers)

A bit of a leaked summary for RUNAWAYS 2 #9 from one of the men over at Ultimate-X.com who gets issues before anyone else... I'm so ****in' jealous.

But yeah, read at your own risk.

Cloak is being accused of beating the tar out of Dagger, allegedly on camera. After being punched in the head by Luke Cage he remembers "the young ones" and telemeports to LA.
Meanwhile, Gert Chase Molly and Victor are playing Monopoly, Victor's the racecar because he likes palindromes, and Chase wants to be the "shotglass" because he's an idiot. Chase asks Gert what she sees in him and she pretty much dodges the question. Laters, Chase finds Nico clearing out Karolina's stuff. She tells him it didn't hurt this badly when she found out her 'rents\Alex were evil, and wonders why. Chase is about to say something, when the intruder alarm goes off, and Cloak appears in the 'main room'. He tells the gang something's up, and also mentions he still feels the evil presence he mentioned waaaaay back last time he met our fun lovin' heros. Explaining the situaion (as well as Molly calling Victor a "guest star, and not even a special one" best line in the book) our Runaways decide to go help cloak in NY. "FIELD TRIP!!!"
Looks like it's gonna be a hell of an issue.

Cloak is beating Dazzler? Does he mean Dagger?
 
Re: Runaways series discussion (spoliers)

Cloak's been framed and The New Avengers think he beat Dazzler down. After running from Cap in the hospital. Spider-Woman confronts him. He says so it's true the Avengers are back. I forget how he takes care of her but he lands and is face to face with Luke Cage. "Et tu Luke" he says. Good line. Luke punches him in the head, Cloak says "The children" and disappears.

The runaways are at their base playing monopoly. Chase refers to the Thimble as a shot glass. Chase leaves the table and Victor asks Gert what she sees in him.

Chase finds Nico in Karolina's room clearing her stuff out. Nico's bummed, Chase comforts/flirts with her. He's about to tell him about something bad he's done in the past when they hear a scream and Chase says it's probably Victor going evil on them.

They get downstairs and Molly and Victor are arguing about the "free parking" rule in the game.

Cloak appears and says he remembers them because Luke punched him. (Lame) They ask how he found them and he says one of their evil imprints they left behind he followed and used as a tracking device. They said it was probably Alex's. He says it seems like it is still there and that's how he found them.

Cloak tells them what's up with Dagger and how he's being hunter and asks for their help. They agree and Cloak takes them up in his cloak to provide transportation. Molly yells "Field Trip!"

5/5


Speculation on Cloak's finding them. I think a few things Alex is in the hideout somewhere sneaking around hidden places. Or with Chase semi-flirting with Nico... he might've kidnapped Chase somewhere and is posing as him. I like the latter better but I love Chase and hope he's around somewhere.

If it's not Alex I hope Chase gets with Nico, it'd be so cool and I'd take her over Gert whose never consistently drawn. She's either really pudgey or somewhat goodlooking.

Great issue with a lame excuse for Cloak to remember but still sets the stage for what's gonna be a great arc.

Love Bkv
