I'd like to see a superhero who's too lazy to be /fit/. I know there's been certain examples, like Blue Beetle once, but that was pretty halfassed since he only had a beer gut.

Also will you do the Sabertooth series from the 80s ? it deals with the mutants massacre.

>>85098054
when you have powers like bulletproof skin or super strength why get fit ?

Speaking of grade A 80s X-ladies. Skids! I like Skids.

Did she ever appear again after that storyline where she was a SHIELD agent tracking down Magneto's Will? (Was it Magneto's Will? It was...something)

Im a fan of the original 1960's Xmen. anybody know what set/omibus/vols has only #1 to #66 without missing one or going into the "all new all different Xmen" reboot of the '70s?

I feel like we're heading towards that being the standard sometime in the next decade.
