Sephiroth Posted July 4, 2003 Posted July 4, 2003 Hey Nick I was wondering if it really matter that I start reading ultimate X-men at Volume 2?(It doesn't really seem to matter too much so...) Oh and I have this question about Marvel girl and Rogue. Ok, I was reading this one comic about Archangel and the whole group called Marvel girl Jean Grey. Like Marvel girl was her nickname. (old spoiler) Then I read a bit about Rogue when she gains her permanent powers. She soppesedly killed Marvel girl and gained her powers?? Am I missing something here?? Does Jean Grey have three lives or something??
The NZA Posted July 4, 2003 Posted July 4, 2003 Howdy John...you know i have Ultimate X-Men here in trade, volumes 1-5 right? You should come on back for a bit... ..Whole group? Phoenix (Jean Grey) used to like being called "Marvel Girl", but she was a different one; in some takes, she borowed the name cause she dug the chick who was the original Marvel Girl/Miss Marvel, whose powers were basically flight and superstrength, like Captain Marvel or somethin...old cheezy character, basically. Rogue, originally, wasnt very well liked because as i recall, she started out a villian. I dont think she was with the Brotherhood of Mutants, but she mighta been...anyway, they first had to deal with her vampiric-like powers as a villian, so they didnt take to her when Xavier put her on the team, only Wolvy seemed to a lil bit. At some point - i have no idea what comic this happened in - they decided to expand her powers by having her take on the original Marvel Girl (again, completly seperate, non-mutant superhero as i understand it), and she absorbed her powers too long - she kept them, as well as that chick's memories. Marvel Girl ended up crippled for the rest of her life, and i didnt hear much beyond that...just that Rogue was now a powerhouse and could fly. In Ultimate X-Men, that's not the case, yet. Hope that helps...?
Sephiroth Posted July 8, 2003 Author Posted July 8, 2003 oh so Jean Grey liked that name and borrowed it huh? Anway when i went over the last time, you said you already sold Volume 1 and 2. Oh and I finished volume 2 without 1 and it really didn't seem to matter to much.
The NZA Posted July 8, 2003 Posted July 8, 2003 Nah, vol. 1 & 2 are (Aadil's), i have em here now, theyre worth readin. Also, was readin this old X-Men site last night that talked about Carol Danvers, how she used to have the powers before Rogue jacked em and all...didnt strike me as a horribly exciting story, anyway. It was at least cool that she was initially a villian & the whole team hated her, but early on she got teamed up with Wolvy and they got close. She gets a mention or two in Ultimate X-Men, keep readin when ya can.
Thelogan Posted October 2, 2012 Posted October 2, 2012 Was looking for dramatic reading material and stumbled across this little gem featuring NZA talking out of his ass about things he knew nothing about. B-B-B-BUMP Was your vast knowledge of the X-Men cobbled together from blurbs on the backs of trading cards?
alive she cried Posted October 2, 2012 Posted October 2, 2012 Yeah, I was reading that and I was thinking "when was all this shit revealed? I remember none of that." But yeah, okay, gibberish.
Jables Posted October 2, 2012 Posted October 2, 2012 Fuck these haters @NZA- I heard that Bendis recently revamped Carol Danvers(Marvel Girl, right?) who is still a cripple, into the Oracle. Is that right? That was Avengers turf, Next time I see you on my lawn Nick I'll cut you.
Thelogan Posted October 2, 2012 Posted October 2, 2012 Nono, Carol Denver was the counterpart to "Dazzler the Disco Mutant", she was the "Folk Music Mutant". She would say her magic word and turn into Captain Marbles (citation needed). But they killed her off in a plane crash.
The NZA Posted October 2, 2012 Posted October 2, 2012 keep lookin, loganses. i already got your top 3 threads on deck. ps Sephiroth if you make it back around, JMS tried to retcon in a character named RachealPhoenix as a PR stunt in '06, true x-fans know this so dont listen to these people/wiki
Visitant Posted October 3, 2012 Posted October 3, 2012 From the vault of Bindys comic book collection, I have this little gem:
