Stick fighting is crazy stuff, man.
The dogbrothers crew are bugfuck nuts, for any art. Pfeh.
Props to Dick.
Best part? Babs does it too.
We killed a homeless man on this bench. Me and Dru. Those were good times. You know, he begged for mercy, and you know, that only made her bite harder.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

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

Well, yeah. But I don't think they could embrace stick fighting so whole heartedly without the insanity.
Serious escrima is worse than those muay thai guys who harden their shins against trees. Because we're talking fingers here. Kinda useful when dextrous.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
She's disproportionately inflated, though. When you rate her alongside the other people in the movie, she's on a par with the other combat powered folks, and perhaps even more acrobatic. She's not on that level in the comics.
She just pulled off some near-Nightcrawler-level acrobatics in the book I just read. I guess I just don't have a problem with it, for whatever reason. I mean, Wolverine still kicked her ass in the end.
All things considered, Toad's the one that got the big power-up. Maybe he comes back in comics I haven't read but last seen all he could do was jump really high.

Damn, I meant to get LotDK and spaced on it. Phooey. Got NW, Identity Crisis, and the last issue of BoP, which I'd missed. Plus Emma Frost and Ultimate X-Men for a co-worker.
NW: Meh. A placeholder/breather issue. Tempted to say "Comic not called 'Tarantula,'" even as I understand why she's so front and center. I even kind of want Dick to be more completely decompensated -- is that wrong of me? And I like Babs showing up there at the end, of course.

Like I need a hole in my head
What time period was that? All I know if he first appeared in the 60s and I'm now up to the mid-eighties and he's still wearing the same really dumb-looking outfit.
Kalshane, I think that's early 90s X-Factor where he has an improved costume. I think it was mid 90s when he went back to the old one. Although I don't remember if that's what he wore in Mutant X. Hmmm... I'll have to check.

They got rid of the stupid thing and then put him back in it? Wow.
It's interesting to me that some superhero/villain costumes stand the test of time, or even if they have flaws they become such icons that we're willing to overlook them, (Magneto, Superman, Spiderman) while others seem cool in one era and dorky in the next, (the original X-Men's "individualized" costumes) and others are just plain bad and stay that way.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
I like Havoc's costume.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
I like Havoc's costume.
Yeah, me too. It was immediately distinctive. Nobody else had a planetary orbital model on their head.

No one else had that kind of balance!
