Does Marvel require its writers to know anything about its characters?
Edited to correct a minor, insignificant error
Clearly, if I made the decision to purchase X-Force #1 I’m obviously a glutton for some kind of brain-dead punishment.
SPOILERS AHEAD, mateys.
So Cyclops set up X-Force back during Messiah Complex, because he rationalized to himself that as long as they’re wearing different uniforms and going by a different name, he can order X-Men to be cold-blooded killers but there’s no blood on the X-Men’s hands because these guys wear gray costumes and they’re called X-Force. DUH!
What’s even better though is that X-Force is a SECRET! Nobody can know what’s going on with ‘Clops’ Black Ops, not even Scott’s girlfriend, Emma Frost!
So how does Cyclops keep this information from Emma, who is clearly one of the most powerful telepaths on earth?
He doesn’t tell her!
Brilliant!
Are they married?
When did that happen?
-M
No, they’re not married. Maybe Jim’s just been married so long that he’s startung to assume everyone else is.
Okay, sorry about the married mistake, but that is like clearly the least important part of this post!
I have just demonstrated that I know very little about the characters, yet I haven’t forgotten the fact that she’s a telepath!
Emma may be kind of a bitch, but sje doesn’t just go digging around in people’s heads much anymore. Especially not her husband’s.
Do you not read your X-comics? Emma knows what Scott is thinking ALL THE TIME. It’s like one of the trademarks of their relationship.
I don’t understand. In the last issue of X-Men, Cyclops and Emma went on vacation and had sex together (it didn’t show penetration, but it was certainly implied!). How can they have sex if they’re not married? I mean, they’re married in the eyes of God!
“Emma knows what Scott is thinking ALL THE TIME. It’s like one of the trademarks of their relationship.”
That’s just because they’re so much in love. It’s not the telepathy.
