Re: Jab’s Builds! (Nightcrawler! Azazel! Warwolves! Kitty Pryde!)
Regarding Kitty killing those Orchis agents, I'm going to have to disagree. Heroes fight people trying to kill them all the time and avoid killing them in return for any number of reasons. It wasn't self-defense, it was sadism and willing, gleeful murder that you'd expect from Wolverine in the mids...

Re: Nightcrawler
https://comicvine.gamespot.com/a/uploads/original/0/77/262908-114093-meggan.jpg I really like these two pictures. The name of the file suggests that the bikini blue babe is Meggan. Am I reading that right? I would guess Kymri. Meggan was using her empathic shapeshifting due to her attraction to Nig...

Re: Jab’s Builds! (Jackdaw! Jamie Braddock! Meggan! Nightcrawler!)
Amanda Sefton and Margali are definitely a case of Claremont's "No ordinary backstory for you" obsession. Cyclops parents couldn't have just been killed in a plane crash, they were abducted by aliens and his dad is a space pirate, and then Scott got raised in an orphanage by Mr. Sinister u...

Re: Jab’s Builds! (Jackdaw! Jamie Braddock! Meggan! Nightcrawler!)
Nightcrawler has always been a fun character, but I think he's much like Hawkeye where he works best as part of an ensemble rather than a solo player. He was perfect for the X-Men where he could contrast the more serious Cyclops and Storm, the angry and brooding Wolverine, and the more youthful Colo...

Re: Jab’s Builds! (Mastermind! Jackdaw! Jamie Braddock! Meggan!)
I see Meggan as kind of a prototype for what you'd eventually see with, say, the animated Teen Titans Starfire who was sweet, but also a bit quirky, didn't always understand social norms, but had a good heart. Her original costume was a bit on the plain side, and outside of her empathic / shapeshift...

Re: Jab’s Builds! (The Captain Britain Corps! Albion! Psylocke!)
Also, it seems like Alan Davis had a bit more love for Captain Britain than Claremont did. Once Davis had sole control of the book he actually introduced a notion that Roma had placed a kind of "jinx" on Brian to make him less effective so as to allow the need for Excalibur, otherwise Bria...

Re: Psylocke
Yeah, I can just imagine Betsy having lunch with Donna Troy, Supergirl and Power Girl, with the four just relating to how much the universe can't seem to figure out what to do with them all. The sad thing is, Donna, Kara and Karen at least had a multiverse re-defining storyline to explain why things...

Re: Jab’s Builds! (Warpies! The Captain Britain Corps! Albion!)
The Albion story line was both poorly premised AND badly executed; I mean, really, no Captain Britain candidate every choose the sword? I realize it was presented as a choice between "might" and "right", but its scarcely a given that selecting the weapon means the person is of b...

Re: Jab’s Builds! (Merlyn! Courtney Ross! Saturnyne! Mad Jim Jaspers!)
Reality Warping on that scale just seems insane for someone to 'randomly' have. Like, you'd expect the power needed to essentially be a living Reality Gem would require something extreme to justify it. All in all it tends to just feel like kind of a 'lazy' powerset that requires the villain to inten...

Re: Jab’s Builds! (Excalibur! Captain Britain! Roma! Merlyn!)
She's showed up quite a bit during the current Krakoa arc of the X-Men, where we're apparently all supposed to feel sorry for her because she has all this power and it won't give her Brian. Which would be sad, if not for her being, y'know, a complete monster who deserves no pity. :roll: I mean, my ...
