I cannot bring myself to hate a man who trains by fighting bears.

/k/ has taught me better than that.

He's robbing a bank in New York. He isn't the sharpest knife in the drawer.

I gotta say, 2010 Tieri feels quite a bit more self-aware--if still fucking edgy.

>that card
Okay, that is clearly taking the piss. I think we can rest easy knowing that this is at least partially a joke.

The idea that Mr. X would not have been specifically hunted down and murdered a zillion times over for all the shit like this he's pulled...

WHAT'S IN THE BOX?!?

One day one of us will work for Marvel or DC and do his/her best to give weird fetishes to as many characters as possible.

James is Logan's real name he learned when he got his memory back.

>>78259025
For some godawful reason this is making me imagine a Wolverine version of Joker gas.

>>78259025
Oh wow, just wow.
Mr. X really is past SpidyXOsborn level.

>>78259015
Logan was the name Claremont came up with back when he was mysterious, James Howlett is was made his real name when they wanted an actual backstory for him.

Then again, that should be happening to so many supervillains, really.

Like, it really makes no sense that everyone doesn't team up to hunt down the Joker and chain his pasty ass to a wall in the Phantom Zone. It's just one of those things in cape books you have to accept because of meta reasons.

At least in the last issue of Digglebolts we read they mentioned that there's a "terminate on sight" order for Mr. X in most places

I am horribly curious if Diggle got told "use this guy" or if he dug him up on his own.

How?

>>78259041
Um, X, I'm pretty sure this particular variety of bullshit won't work against a school full of Mutants.

Like, I can think of at least three non-telepaths that would straight up clown on him.

>>78259131
Its a normal school I think. Its just the closest one to the bank.

btw: Digglebolts, 133-136, a Remender one-shot, then Parkerbolts 138-143, that's our next few days

We could just go back to the top and read as much Busiek as we feel like, after that. Or Giffen Ragman, I'm open to votes.

>>78259080
well in the joker's case, I'm pretty sure the spirit of gotham is protecting him. I choose to believe that if he ever spent to long away from te city all his plot armor would wear off and he'd get killed by a mugger

Hard to tell just from the book itself. Though he does seem to be going out of his way to make X as edgy as possible.

It's dramatically appropriate, especially if they're surrounded by the greatest killers in history, like that one GWAR song.

(of course, this doesn't work out plotline-wise with the Diggle, wherein he doesn't seem to know he's being recruited, but what the hell)

Tomorrow: back to the Blunderbolts, and onwards! I hope you enjoyed this tour of the edge.

Thanks OP! It wasn't too bad actually. Not particularly good,but by SOP standards,there's been a LOT worse.
