Ann Nocenti is underrated.
Andrew Long
Now, I know what you're thinking, just when the hell does this story take place?
Well, it was published around the time Inferno was going on, but it obviously couldn't take place then, so for simplicity's sake I put it here, right after the Genosha arc.
Ayden Hill
If it doesn't fit all that well, sue me. Or better, sue Marvel.
Leo Moore
Tru dat
Christopher Turner
This page right here is like a time capsule from the eighties.
Juan Peterson
Haha, geez...

Adam Moore
How can you be racist against commies? They're not a race! Silly old man.
Matthew Fisher
Colossus: The Man of Steel!
Juan Phillips

Ethan Clark
Something I've always loved about Piotr's Colossus form is that he doesn't just turn into a metal-skinned dude, he actually has a very particular pattern on his skin. It's neat.
Camden Thomas

Dominic Reyes
I knew they'd come through.
Grayson Rodriguez
Fucking hell, guys.
Dylan Flores

Isaiah Walker

Jeremiah Edwards
Jesus, kid!
Jacob Butler
Bringing up my point again Colossus is the most underrated Husbandu

lol
Chase Edwards

Sebastian Wood

Nathaniel Moore
x-user do you have this which was bundled with a terrible Angry Nerd tier videogame?

Adrian Gray
>captcha is literally KINO
Austin Garcia
I don't think so? I'll have to go check.
Christopher Gutierrez
Uh guys, I'm not sure if discussing politics with a bunch of guns around is the best idea...
Ayden Bell
it has this funny scene
Cooper Parker
Awww
Jackson Hughes
Dammit.
Jason Taylor
Yeah, I'm downloading it right now.
Liam Anderson
>too late for Zackery's generation
bad news colossus!
also Legacy Virus as AIDS and what happens to Colossus is a big signpost in my mind with all the 80s politics talk
Elijah Edwards
Darn, brb again
Aaron Murphy
Sometimes wonder how Marvel Comics Presents would have turned out had they stuck with their original plan to have a different solo X-Men story every couple of months. They abandoned it and went full on Wolverine around issue #48 save for the random one-off (Mirage, Mojo, Warlock, Beast) but I wonder what kind of stuff we would have gotten had it stayed the course:
The Archangel filler solo story from Judgement War expanded to around 10-12 issues
Hellions solo stories perhaps, even showing Warpath leaving the team perhaps to set up him joining X-Force
The story of how Havok got captured and brainwashed by Cameron Hodge and the Genoshans
Nocenti doing more Longshot shit
Maybe Claremont doing flashback shit with Rogue to explain what the fuck happened between Rogue/Mystique and Carol Danvers?
Wyatt Ramirez
It takes place in Nocenti time.
Lincoln Cox
Alright, now I should be able to finish this with no further interruptions.
Jacob Wright
Just calling mutants freaks would probably make a better slur than mutie.
Owen Evans
The best kind of time!
Benjamin Butler
Yeah, it's fun to wonder, especially when it comes to the X-Men, where there's been a ton of editorial-sided what ifs.
Connor Jones
>easy now, i know what you mean
how many Vietnamese has dude massacred?
Dylan Evans
Gotta say, it's funny how the guy didn't like Colossus because he's Russian and not because he's a mutant.
Jaxon Powell
>I just ironed those curtains
Aiden Murphy
>May I call you "Nina", then?
...why?
Jack Bennett
We may never know.
Isaac Torres
Damn, this is some real shit.

Brandon King
Dammit, I thought I was done with ABBA!
Asher Bell

Sebastian Turner

Christopher Watson
Now THAT's traumatizing!
Josiah Robinson
Why was there a random Jamaican in a covert ex-CIA team of hyper-americans anyway?
Easton Jones
>they replaced it with the heart of a baboon!
That's racist.
Joseph Taylor
This family needs a therapist.
Christian Jenkins
Too bad they can't afford one!

He may have actual skeletons in his closet.
Thomas Hernandez
Young man... are you planning to share with the class or not?
Andrew Wright
I'll admit, reading and posting this while I listen to John Williams' Superman soundtrack has been... an interesting experience, to put it in some way.
Hudson Cooper
...
Christian Jones
Honestly? I really cannot tell. Like look at the last two panels here and tell me this shit isn't funny.
Evan Torres
BUDDA-BUDDA-BUDDA
Jackson Wilson
I believe in Colossus's muscles too.
Bentley Jenkins
those are some good guns
Matthew Clark
Apparently not, Zack!
Ryan Edwards
it's funny how Marvel is the more "down to Earth" of the big 2 but in this era, late 80s, Nocenti is really the only one I can think of touching on real shit whereas DC had like a fucking line about military industrial shit
Daniel Barnes
Wait, WHAT
Isaac Baker
Colossus really is too pure.
Asher Brown
...
Colton Sanchez
Well shit, I guess he really DID die!
Lincoln Kelly
He literally gave up the ghost.
Matthew Martin
...
Luis Cruz
He lost the will to live
Colton Watson
WE MAY NEVER KNOW
Alright, that's it for today. See ya guys next time, when we go from Genosha, to the heart of America, to England! That's right, it's Excalibur time!
Colton Jenkins
Nah. He said he was going to pass on his spirit to his daughter, and Nocenti is definitely one to not mean that as a metaphor.
Jackson Stewart
Landon King
Quit fucking muzzle sweeping the room, child. God damn.
John Garcia
prejudice is a funny thing X-user.
Jaxon Russell
>THEY REPLACED ALL MY BLOOD WITH HYENA BLOOD!!!!
seriously? was that really the closest thing they had? they just had hyena blood laying about? not cow, pig, or anything, you know, local to the USA?
Chase Lee
user...get help.
Ian Torres
>not having a stash of hyena blood on hand so you can inject it into your henchman and see what happens
Do you even mad science?
Levi Barnes
Hyenas are totally local to the US if you're willing to abuse eminent domain on the right Zoo.
