'Serenity'
Discussion of Buffy and Angel comics, books, and more. Please don't get into spoilery details in the first week of release.
Rogue should not be able to fly around, pick up a tree, and knock down large juggernaut-sized mutants with it. She doesn't have super-strength in my mind.
Uhm, Rogue had Ms. Marvel's (Carol Danvers, now called Warbird) powers for most of her existence in the real Marvel Universe.
I was gonna say, Rogue's been super strong/flying most of her career.
In fact, I think I remember the Ms. Marvel bit being in the cartoon at one point, which is how I learned about it.
IIRCC, she's currently devoid of all her powers, but remains with the X-Men.She and Gambit both lost their powers for a time, then regained them. I think it was Marvel's way of ironing out the ridiculousness of her powers after she absorbed a Skrull and had even less control of her power manifestations than before. Now she's back to being Rogue like we know her.
Pffft. It was a television microscope. They're extra special. Television microscopes can even be used to determine molecular stuctures.Exactly. C'mon, P-C, you'll accept the fact that Wolverine's claws, when sheathed, don't make his wrists entirely immobile, but you'll balk at an explanation-expediting piece of science-botchin? You must learn to suspend your disbelief more consistently. I know, I know, it's hitting you professionally.
Okay. I accept all of that. It makes sense. It annoys me, though - I like Rogue better without those powers. Hmmph. Maybe if they ever do that story in Ultimate canon, I'll convert.
Wolverine's claws are supposed to retract all the way into his forearms.
eta: That's why he can pop the claws out through his palms when he needs to if his hands are bent back. Mutant healing factor, hurray!
Mutant healing factor, hurray!
Is it terribly wrong that I can hear this only in Dr. Zoidberg's voice?

Well, be comforted by the knowledge that you're no longer alone.
Looks like I'll just be getting Uncanny X-Men and Detective Comics this week. After only three titles last week.
I guess I need to brace myself for the rest of October, it seems.
Just Ultimate Spidey for me this week.
Was wondering why there was no JLU discussion this week, then I watched my tape and went "Oh." I ended up watching the episode even though I'd seen it before, though I confess I fast-forwarded through all of Superman's dreamscape scenes.
I like Supe's dreamscape scenes.
Did anyone else watch "The Batman"? It had "The Catwoman" in it.
