Shrift, have you seen my new default LJ icon?
Yes, and this is why I'm giggling at my desk. The batjazzhands were pretty freakin' funny, too.
Honestly, you meet the most appalling sort of people....

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.
Sure, they train all the time, but so do soldiers. Even at the gitgo (second incarnation), weren't they out saving people right away?
This is true. The concept has definitely evolved since the early days. These days, the X-Men are teachers/field operatives, with other mutants being the students.
Which, really, makes more sense.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
You know, it would be so much easier if we just decided that all comic books are about superheroes.
Donald Duck? Superhero! The Cryptkeeper? Superhero! Harvey Pekar? Superhero! Maggie and Hopey? Gay Superheroes!
See? So much easier. Plus 95% of all Americans would agree with us anyway.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
the X-Men are teachers
I'm unsure how this is working with the reboot. Some of the original New Mutants will be running Academy X. What is that ass Scott going to be doing with Emma? Other than ill-considered nookie?

Mmmmm. Ill-considered nookie.

The generation that could change the world is still looking for its car keys.
Ill-considered nookie.
Bears repeating, that is all.

You guys are gross.
Remember, said nookie involves NAKED SCOTT SUMMERS. I'd rather schtupp a Bobby not in control of his powers.

I have determined that ill-considered nookie in DC is way better than ICN in Marvel.
Cause, well, EWWW.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
Would Supes choose to be here if Krypton was whole?
Well, Mon El (aka M'onel aka Valor aka whatever other name they want to use to erase his past history) chose star spanning superherodom over life on Daxam. Daxamites get the same powers as Kryptonians when they leave the homeworld, so it's a similar choice.

I have a plan.
Daxamites get the same powers as Kryptonians when they leave the homeworld, so it's a similar choice.
Except that Kryptonians couldn't leave their planet. A side effect of their genetic experimentation in the past.
