Not Sue, Kalshane -- Ororo. I got tangled in Storms.
I'm the last person in the world to pipe up for Cyclops, but he can't make things blow up! Concussive force! Pfft.
She ain't movin'. Serenity's not movin'.

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

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.
Ah. But Ororo can do plenty of low impact things with her powers. Weird.
True. But Cyclops could accidently punch a hole through a bulkhead with his power.

Let me see if I can remember exactly who went up -- 6 people -- Emma, Sue, Wolverine, Gambit, Thing -- maybe Reed? Wolverine can slice open a hull, Thing can put a fist through it -- it just smacks of the most arbitrary selection. And it's not like all the X-people haven't spent a fair amount of time in space without killing all and sundry (well, Phoenix excepted) before. Even in rescue/damaged scenarios.

I guess the thinking is a stray blast is more likely than a stray appendage.
Still, I agree it's rather arbitrary. I made similar head scratches over Xavier's team selection in Ultimate Nightmare consisting entirely of one psychic and two brawlers, both of whom have a problem when magnets get involved.

I'd argue that Gambit is a bit more capable in a fight than Storm if they don't use their energy/explosive/environment compromising powers. And vastly moreso than Cyclops or Johnny Storm. Also handy with the lockpicking, stealth, and charming the pants off any villainesses.

I'd like to see Storm go up against Gambit, honestly. They're both thieves, and she's got some impressive mano a mano chops.
Did they work much together as adults?

I think all his "screen time" was with Rogue and Wolverine by the time she was aged back into adulthood. But I gather he's inhumanly agile and fast, whereas she's merely near the peak of what normal people can do.

I'm going to have to check my X-Men power book. I love that thing, even if I see why they may ignore it whenever they want.
I thought his powers were just powering things up. Except he now seems to have a second sight, as well as being blind. In some book or the other.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
100 Bullets is finally making some sort of sense...kind of. This story really needs to be read with all the past issues at hand so you can sort out the timeline. I have no clue what the fuck is going on.
Fables was great.
Powers was awesome.
Nightwing was really good as well.
It was a good week for comics.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"
I picked up the TALES OF THE VAMPIRE compilation, and I have a question. I picked up the TALES OF THE SLAYER compilation a while ago, and it's about half the size of VAMPIRE. Were there more issues of TotV than TotS? Or was there more than one TotS compilation (comics - I know there was a lot of fiction)?
