I read a whole run of comics where Iceman & Angel where out in LA getting p*ssy with Ghost Rider. :patrice:

Thats that bullshyt. I blame Northstar.:wow:

How many X-Men are gay now? They can make a team. Called the Ex-Men :dead:

Last count (not including lesbians) Northstar, Iceman, Prodigy, Rictor, and Shatterstar that I know of and all of them were well written except Iceman's which was an continuity asspull by Bendis.

Gnome... Bling... Graymalkin. I think Cipher was gay with that robot thing he merged with... there are like 10 gay characters just within the minor students at the X-Mansion.
They could make an entire new academy with them all the way they did with Generation-X. I'd let Mystuque lead it (she's out) and send Beast over there to teach til he's ready to come out of the closet.

Uncanny X-Men

Okay, them puttin' 'Bobby is Gay' in the intro and the 'Million Mutie March' (insensitively comparing the struggle of black folk that of [:huh: Wait, r both the movies [different ownership] & comics serving as allegory for LGBTQ or am I reading too much into it? I figured that as I was typin...anyway...

They were grating parts, but, the issue was dope. I like this new(young version) of Jean.

Can't wait for 601(?).

Extraordinary X-Men

Yea', they killin' the X-Men off (or keeping them to job for the Inhumans)(Why didn't they Fantastic Four them?).

But, again, super dope issue. I marked out when a certain X-Men was found and I'm interested into how they turn this mutant endangered species thing out.

I know I don't love the X-Men as much as other brehs (they were the genesis of super heirs for me), but, ill give this a chance. Can't say I'm that interested in the Inhumans, tho...

Thanks for responding.

I knew all that in terms of feats. (I read Flash) What I mean is where is it indicated that he is the fastest of the flashes? Like, is there an example of him doing something that Bart or Barry has done, but faster,, and then they are unable to do it when needed? Like, take the example above, what indicates Bart or Barry could not also do that?

There are lots of examples of Wally doing things because Wally was the default flash during the 90s/2000s bolder writing teams.

The reason I ask is because some people say Wally is fastest, some people say Barry is fastest, and some (like myself) believe Bart is fastest (poor Jay Garrick... always last) but everyone points to indidual feats but not comparative ones so its difficult to measure.

My reasoning for Bart btw is because he is genetically molded through being the offspring of speedsters for his body to compensate for being that fast. Whereas Wally especially has the problems a normal human would when going that fast. In the comics his metabolism requires him to continuously eat more than Bart whose body is adjusted, and Wally's mind itself is actually slower (much slower) than Bart Allen's. In an example I gave elsewhere, when Wally reads a book at superspeed he traditionally only retains the same ratio of information as a person that read the book at normal speed, because to him it took him just as long relatively speaking to read the book just sped up. While Bart can read a book in a second, then recite the entire thing word for word because it all happened a second ago to him.

(All my knowledge is from the original run stuff, I have no idea whats going on in the New 52 except in passing...)

Thx


It's because Wally was the living embodiment of the Speed Force whereas the others just drew from it.

It's the reason why Wally had all the insane feats. He didn't have a fear of being sucked into it. Like the beating the instant teleport thing. He drained the speed of two planets to do it.

Or him beating Hunter Zolomon/Zoom. He could never be faster than him because Hunter was sped up time wise and not speedwise, so Wally maxed out his speed and THEN boosted it with Johnny Quick's speed formula.

Any other speedster would have quickly evaporated trying half the shyt Wally was pulling.

Barry wasn't faster, he was just far smarter and did more sciency shyt and experimenting with his powers.

Bart wasn't faster, he was just a perfectly built machine.

Jay was nowhere near as fast as them. Even in his prime. He couldve POSSIBLY been faster if he knew about the speed force when he started in the 40s.

The Uncanny in December is gonna blow all of this away because Bunn has been on FIRE for over the last two years. Intrigued about Sinister showing up in Extradinary though...

And how did I FORGET that Carnage #1 is coming out next week? That should be VERY intriguing:laugh:
