How many Australians do you see in comics, hmmm? The only ones I can think of...and that's very, very, VERY few...are bad guys! Or in that gawd-awful X-book that I never read...neling4 wrote:There is also the fact that being half demon makes him no longer half German, which makes those of us with German ancestry at a loss for someone with whom to identify.

You think that's bad? They had an awsome south african mutant on the x-team who had so far one of theweirdest mutations, and they killed him off completely. Wouldn't mind having him JEEEEEAN!ed and up and running again.

Gateway is an aborigine and a mutant.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gateway_(comics)
Lifeguard (http://marvel.wikia.com/wiki/Lifeguard) and Slipstream (http://marvel.wikia.com/wiki/Davis_Came ... rth-616%29)are both Australian. And if you're saying that xtreme x-men sucked, well i quite enjoyed it until Larroca left and Claremont tried to expand on his God Loves, Man Kills with a sequel.
Steyn, are you talking about Maggott. He was pretty interesting, and the version drawn by Joe Mad. was pretty cool.

Hey Drastic, I recognize that scene in your avvy from TAS. I wonder why Wolverine wasn't that upset about leaving Pixie behind!
That being said, I feel like adding my own dialogue to that: "The Elf ain't a demon, bub!"

Don't give up, Neling. Kurt's not a demon. He's a German mutant who's being horribly used and discriminated by the very people who pretend to understand and support mutants. We'll fix this somehow.neling4 wrote: Now I have nothing.

Hey, I'm basically at that half-century mark myself, lady. And "spiffy" is too good a word to relegate to the past.

Zemo is actually pretty cool nowadays, quite badass. And only few men can pull wearing a pink mask and still get the chicks.
...Though I DO admit that at some point in the past he was married to a woman that pretended to be his reincarnated father...
Also, neling, please don't start harassing the Editor in Chief of Marvel about something that must (at least to him) appear as a minor obstruction in the way of the next big event. at best he'll ignore you, at worst he'll do stuff you don't like on purpose

But if we remain quiet, he'll have our silence as an excuse to pretend we like what he's doing to Nightcrawler.

Yeah...X-Treme X-Men was the book I never read...so I know diddly squat about those two...and the few issues I DID read...well...weren't very good...
The only other Aussie mutant I can think of is Pyro...and he's dead too...at least he was the last time I looked...

Hey....is there a spoiler for X-infernus #4 anywhere? I'd like to get a word for word on that page where Kurt said he's the son of a demon.

But you're very right.....he could ignore us (which is more probable) or he could get mad and take it out on us and Nightcrawler. Neither of those things would be our fault, however. He's the one in "power". Whatever he chooses to do will be on him. But I cannot stand by and allow him to do to Nightcrawler what I think is wrong and not say anything. Angelique is right in that he might use our silence to justify whatever he chooses to do. So if it's our silence he uses or our protests he uses to justify changing Nightcrawler into some kind of demon.....I'd rather it be with our protests ringing in his ears.
"Soon we must choose between what is right and what is easy."

I'm actually okay with him being a half-demon if that means he gets more interesting stories in the future. He could be the magic link of the X-Men like he used to be in his own ongoing...And score some demon chicks. *cough*

Maybe the arc-that-must-not-be-named left such a bad taste in Kurt's mouth that he considers the-mutant-who-must-not-be-named a demon even though he's not...?

*writes Joe Q to demand he make things more interesting according to my own personal tastes* That'll show him.
And then he says "I don't know for sure." Nice!neling4 wrote: Here it is:

I just read the entire series today and...wow. I loved Kurt's quotes at the end (and laughed when Pixie flew away ).
Oh, and Spastic, your ava made me burst out laughing. XD

And I'm willing to overlook the "son of a demon" quote as a sarcastic rolling-of-the-eyes joke referring to the-mutant-who-must-not-be-named from the arc-that-must-not-be-named (like he calls himself 'devilish' sometimes).....as long as Marvel isn't really trying to make him into a demon hybrid. But the 'I-don't-know-if-I-have-a-soul' thing has me concerned. I don't think a Catholic (ex-priest in training) would question whether or not he had a soul.....and now that I'm thinking about it, what he said is all so mega-wrong. I mean he couldn't have been carrying the soulsword inside of him AT ALL if he didn't have a soul....and an "unpolluted" one at that!

To Neling:
Right now the only acronym I can come up with is MAD (Mutants Aren't Demons!) But I think that's because.....well.... I'm mad.
