I always got very excited when it would spell out ACDC

OMG SAME FOR BOTH

I always got very afraid when it was the same letter 4 times in a row

when I was 4 or 5, my mom was a prof at a college and she used to hand me the scantron sheet before she wrote the exam and let me colour whatever lettered bubble i wanted for each answer. if i coloured two by accident, she made an ‘all of the above’ option. one time she gave me it and i coloured the ‘a’ bubble for each of the 130 questions except for the second last one and she just went with it

later on, she told me that it was the most entertaining exam she had ever watched her students take

X-Factor #79

Multiple Man and Quicksilver was sent to find Rhapsody.

The page here that involves Polaris is a really good example of how Lorna’s historically had it bad when involved with Havok, how that focus on “she’s Havok’s girlfriend” leads to writers forgetting who Lorna is as her own character and what she can do, and why she needs to be apart from him for 10 years when the current Blue arc is finally done.

The introduction to Lorna is “I gotta be pleasing to Havok.” She then gets ambushed and knocked out by a guy with a metal fist.

This is the sort of thing you would expect to never happen. But it did, cause the focus wasn’t on Lorna, it was on how she could be used as a prop for Havok. Her history with Havok is currently so toxic that even the most basic of basic elements of her character get forgotten or disregarded for the sake of building up Havok.

X-Men ± Because the best X-Men are women

  • Phoenix → Jean Grey
  • Polaris → Lorna Dane
  • Storm → Ororo Munroe
  • Psylocke → Betsy Braddock
  • Shadowcat → Kitty Pryde
  • Rogue → Anna Marie
  • Prestige → Rachel Summers
  • Dazzler → Alison Blaire
  • White Queen → Emma Frost
  • Jubilee → Jubilation Lee

I reeeeeaaaally like these pictures for one very important reason: their very nature highlights Lorna’s long history with the X-Men and the fact she’s the second female X-Men member to join. The fact there are no other women in the second image besides Jean and Lorna says this loudly.

Which in turn also says a lot about Marvel for ignoring Lorna despite these qualities.

As much as I’d like Lorna to be in this, unfortunately, she’s not. Thompson said the green-haired woman on the last page is supposed to be Brand.

Of course, if everyone would rather ignore who she says it should be to make it Lorna, I’m okay with that too. The artist and people above them opted to make Brand look like Lorna’s expected to look, and put her between two women wearing green, and the history of Marvel trying to use visuals to screw Lorna over is such that I don’t mind turning it back on them.
