Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Claremont regressed her? I'm looking at the latest Official Handbook, and her fighting skills are 5. Puts her higher than Beast (4), Cyclops (4), Emma (3) -- basically, she's only less of a fighter than Wolverine.

Maybe she just meant she didn't want to?

Like I need a hole in my head

Kiba, that could be - I could see Kitty doing that. But in Excalibur, especially while she was with Pete Wisdom, she was pretty confident in her ass-kicking skills.

ita, I think Claremont "de-aged" her in X-treme and kind of did the handwave thing around her grown-up affair with Pete Wisdom.

But not wanting to? Yeah, I could see that from Kitty.

If that was horribly incoherent & babbly, sorry.

Hello, Violet! And thanks for that run-down of what's been happening with X-Men. It made sense to me, but I'm used to, um, complicated arcs in comics by now.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

Liked Astonishing a lot, mainly for its retro-ness.

Also, I've concluded Joss must enjoy using the name Summers a lot.

And I realize how out of the X-Men loop I am in that I have no idea who Emma Frost is.

I really like Beast's feline look shrugs

And Kitty rocks like a rocking thing.

edited because I seem to have XF on the brain.

Frankenbuddha -- she's the White Queen. Ex-leader of the Hellions. You must have been gone a long time.

I may have to seize the cat.

Yes, for I have read her, with my stopping at - I'm gonna go look for an exact date - yeah, I was right - 1984.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

It's been that long since she was in the title? But she has her own title now, though. I learned all my X-Men lore from the animated series, so I know who she is, generally.

No, Polter-Cow - she's been in it more recently than that - what I'm saying is, if one's never heard of her, then one hasn't been reading since a ridiculously long time ago.

I would like to read her title, now. Maybe then I could forgive her for being so hot when I want to hate her so much. (It's just so frustrating because - mean to Kitty! But SO sexy!) I will probably wait for the TPB though.

Heh. As far as I can tell, whoever draws the covers doesn't even read the issues. He just cranks out some picture of Emma looking really hot. Which, hey, I don't mind.
