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.

Art was very weird. Jean's looked like a million different things, but I had to just assume that was her.

Same here. In one shot she looked like Kitty from AXM. I was extremely confused, since UXM Kitty looks very much like the young teenager she's supposed to be.

True, plus the freckles are killing me. Did anyone else think her kiss with Bobby was just adorable? I'm starting to get old enough these days that I just think that sort of thng is head-patting cute. Which is better than the alternative, all things considered.

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

This makes me giggle. Poor Kitty, trapped in eternal teenagerhood. Oh, she thought she was free and clear, but Pete Wisdom who?

We do not look at Pete Wisdom. We do not talk about Pete Wisdom. We pretend he is not there.

Did they make sweet love?

Nope, they met at a con panel or presentation. Perez opened his arms, yelled "Son!" and Jiminez ran and hugged him yelling "Dad!" Quite the chuckle for people who are fans of their similar drawing styles on Teen Titans and Wonder Woman.

I meant she looks like the age she is presented as in UXM, not some mythical ideal age for her. Unlike the 14 year-old (albeit with mutton chops) Wolverine looked like in Ultimate Nightmare. Of course the Gameboy didn't help any.

But it does seem to be the mythical ideal age. Not that any of them match our earth years, but at least most others get to grow up (I swear Mirage looks way older than Kitty, in the main continuity), or have already reached the magical unchanging post-pubertal age.

I think the age Kitty has in the current continuity (especially as drawn by Cassaday in Astonishing) is an in-between sort of thing--you see her in the first few pages of #1 and she looks rather grown-up and capable, early twenties, let's say. Occasionally, though, she'll have those expressions that bring out the teenage girl in her. It's a good way of keeping her age nicely ambiguous, the way a lot of the X-Men are.

Wasn't she supposed to be, somewhat? I had the impression that when New Mutants started up, Kitty was around 14 or 15 and Danielle was supposed to be 17, second oldest to Sam.

I'm not talking two years -- he looks to be solidly late 20s, or however old Storm is. Which she isn't.
