Yeah...get a real mutant power Gambit. Poser. He has the same powers as Cyclops and Havok. He was supposed to be the third Summers brother. |

He has the same powers as Cyclops and Havok. He was supposed to be the third Summers brother. No kidding? I don't remember that. That told you a little. You can see that their powers are similar as they absorb solar energy and then release it as red energy. It either comes out their eyes, chest, or fingers. Another quote: Myth: Gambit is the Third Summers' Brother Truth: This one is complicated! Most X-Fans believe that the identity of the Third Summers' Brother was addressed in X-Men #39 where it was strongly implied that Adam X or X-Treme was the individual in question. Half-human and half-Shi'ar, Adam was intended to be the son of the Emperor D'Ken and Katherine Summers, conceived when she found herself in his Imperial harem. As such, he would have been the half-brother of Scott and Alex Summers. However, before the plot could be fully resolved, new writers took over the books and it was dropped. In X-Men: The End, Sinister reveals to Gambit that he created him by fusing his own DNA with Scott Summers' DNA. This would make Remy partially a Summers, if not necessarily a Summers' Brother. However, The End is only a possible future for the X-Men, and therefore it is not considered canonical by most fans. Ed Brubaker claims that he will resolve this particular mystery in the Dark Genesis LS |

I gave up in the early 2000s. I should have given up in the 90s and put that cash into older comics. There's almost nothing about modern comics that I like. From the price and the paper and computerized coloring to the lack of history and continuity and constant reboots and restarts. The endless variants are another problem but those can be avoided if you just want to read comics

Remember when collections took years to come out? They are at issue #5 and already putting a collection out for issues 1-4?  that. Period. Never buying it. Ever. |

Some of these websites are like Wizard Magazine of the past. I hope it won't bring doom to the hobby like Wizard did back it the 90s or so.

Man, am I glad I don't read modern Marvels Seems absolutely pointless. Any bled-to-death concept they [re]introduce will someday [soon] be altered. |

There is no sense of permanency or history. Just endless reboots and new # 1 issues that have little to do with anything that came before. It's certainly a lot different than the comics I grew up reading. |

The only Marvel titles I've enjoyed the last few years are Mark Waid's Daredevil and Ms. Marvel. Deadpool can be a fun read, and I do miss Fantastic Four. The decompression of storytelling is my bugaboo. I'm more and more reading trades or collections of older comics so I can get complete stories. |

I still miss Chris Claremont on the old Uncanny X-Men. Took me 10-15 minutes to read most of those back in the 80's. Now you can read an entire TPB in less than 20 minutes. Remember when TPBs of collected series were 6 issues? More often than not, it's 4 issues now. And there's as much content (except for the art, of course) in those 4 issues as in 1, maybe 2, of the old comic books. Damn I'm old.  |

The only Marvel stuff I've purchased in the past decade or so is Jim Starlin Thanos books and Garth Ennis MAX books. I am getting the Starlin/Alan Davis GOTG title, but I believe that's just a mini. I wanted to pick up the Mark Waid DD books but the art was just terrible. |
