I really wished Rogue had just taken her gloves off and held Storm’s hand in that scene. Would have put the point across beautifully.
“Theres nothing to cure? Is that Right Ms. Amazing powers with no horrific disfigurement thats not a threat to anyone?” takes off glove “If I dont need a cure, then shake my hand. Go on. Do it. I’m perfect as I am, right?”
“Uh…I…”
“SHAKE MY GODDAMN HAND BEFORE I WRAP IT AROUND YOUR THROAT YOU STUCK UP ELITIST BITCH”
Cyclops: count me in, i want to see while not destroying anything without my sunglasses.

I think the image links are down, but GIS showed me a cached thumbnail.
There were inconsistencies with the pictures and he always skirted the question when that came up. If I remember right many people asked him to just post a video? And either he refused or he posted something that was really really really bad quality that didn’t make sense considering the quality of everything else he had?
He also used his fame to sell a book detailing his sex life and people were quick to point out anatomically impossible things.
Ooooh yeah! Honestly it’s been forever so I’m blanking on a lot I just remember reading a huge write-up of all the issues with it. I think it was on subredded drama?
DoubleDickDude was his name and in hindsight it’s hilarious how many people fell for it even though it was so obviously fake.
On another note I wonder how much more convincing it would be nowadays using AI tech. Lol
oh shit that was fake ?

That’s what they call chainsaw man in the dub
Yeah that line always bothered me as well. Rogue should have just pocked her. Yeah, feel how fine do you feel now
If Cyclops was in the room she could have just busted his visor.
Fun fact - in the comics Forge made a gun that strips away mutant powers, and the government tried to use in on Rogue (which, having absorbed Ms. Marvel, was much more of a threat than her version in the Fox movies) - but Storm, ignorant to the gun’s purpose, took the bullet for her. After that, lamenting the loss of her powers became her entire personality for a while. Comics being comics eventually she got them back - but I think that she is still a bit salty about this, and it shows in that scene.
Refresh my memory. Was that when she got the mohawk haircut and started dressing like Grace Jones back-up dancers?
They were a year apart. the mohawk and costume change debuted first in #173 (1983) and Storm lost her powers in #185 (1984).
I bow to your expertise.
I’m salty you made fun of my favorite Storm fit, but that was hilariously accurate.
And Grace is still in the game.
Lifedeath. One of my absolute favorite Storm arcs. Such a great story and the art is top notch.
Is the movie canon with the comics, though?
The comics are barely canon with the comics.
The movies are barely canon with the movies, too, for that matter.
They are completely separate continuities.
We don’t need medicine, prescription glasses, clothes…
We are all perfect already.
No, it’s more like “we don’t need to change our skin colour or our sexuallity etc., we are perfect already.”
That’s definitely what they were going for. X-men had other jokes clearly indicating the comparison between the LGBTQ movement and being a mutant. The comparison doesn’t work as well for kill everything she touches lady, though lol.
You’re being downvoted, but that’s exactly what Storm means by what she said.
Like when people would say they were going to “cure you of your urges” just because you were gay.
In the other girl’s case though, if there were a way for her not to kill everyone she touches, I’m sure she’d love that.
On the other hand, trans people. They have a problem with how they were born, and if they want to change that it’s nobody’s business but theirs.
Brb, I need an Elden Ring character named Johnny Five-Dicks.
“Bloody Finger Johnny Five-***** has invaded.”
Man I wish that could be turned off. Game features so much brutal content but heaven forbid we see a naughty word.
Or the word K***ht
Ugh lol it’s so annoying!
What is that supposed to even be, do they censor the word “knight” because, you know, n-word is in it (it’s not tho)?
Yes player names can’t have knight display correctly because it has “nig” in it. Even though there are several characters with knight in their name and items referencing knight in their descriptions. The censor is poor however, so “KNight” works if you don’t mind capitalization errors
What a wonderful world 🥲
We look at mutants and see cool powers, but mutants in the Marvel universe are first and foremost a hated minority. Storm wants to fight the very idea of the cure, because if the cure exists - mutants will be forced to take it. The poster boy of the cure in that movie was was Warren Worthington III, and he got one of the relatively good mutations (yes, it’s physically visible, but it’s not one of the grotesque ones) but his father still tried to force the cure on him.
It sucks for mutants like Rogue who really do want to get rid of their powers, but mutantkind as a whole does not have the luxury of allowing the cure to exist.
I liked the premise of the story, hopefully they can try it again in some capacity with a director that’s not shit.
Yeah, the scene immediately reminded me of the whole “we will cure you homosexuality” prospects of the (hopefully) past
Online Storm stans will end you.
Nah, there is nothing wrong with Rogue. She just lives in a world where her evolutionary trait is frowned upon by society. If she was allowed to embrace her true self and kill indiscriminately she would be much happier. Even more so than giving up her genetic advantage.
It might be lonely for a time but we all know she eventually runs into someone who can neutralize her power.
Edit: looking online Rogue also gains full control over her powers in some instances.
but like she clearly doesn’t want to kill people, what you’re saying is effectively that people should be entirely determined by their genetics and have no say in the matter, which is… rather fucked up?
it gets extra terrible when we remember that a significant chunk of humanity is born with evolutionary traits specifically evolved to help hunter-gatherer tribes, i don’t think people with ADHD and autism want to be compared to someone who kills everyone she touches…
She doesn’t want to kill people because society has taught her that killing is wrong. There is no societal precedent for someone with her ability. If a shark was raised to believe it was a tuna it doesn’t change the fact that it’s a shark.
And I know for a fact that ADHD people don’t appreciate the fact they have to medicate to be valued in their society.
Edit: but can’t you just except that I am on magnetos side, professor x?
She doesn’t want to kill people because society has taught her that killing is wrong.
Yeah, something about perpetuating your own species seems like a logical reason to teach people that.
Also, most people instinctively do not want to kill. That’s why military training has to cram the idea of “you have to kill people” down their trainees’ throats, and reportedly many still don’t pull the trigger when they see they will actually end up killing someone.
Honestly, this makes me worry about you and what you’ve done or plan to do.
Lol
We’re talking about fictional characters. Rogues mutation has the potential to spur a new species of human. Her progeny will define a whole evolutionary line. Your simple mindedness makes me worried people like you vote.
Rogues only obligation is to preserve the traits she has been given for survival of her offspring.
Edit: corrected terminology
There’s a lot wrong with what you just said.
-
It’s “Genus”.
-
Homo is the genus, Sapiens is the species.
-
Taxonomy works in retrospect. We don’t classify new species nor branches until they already exist. We can’t simply predict.
-
A species is defined as a group that can interbreed and produce viable, fertile offspring. Mules for instance aren’t a distinct species because they are largely infertile. This is why we classify in retrospect.
4.5. As a result it’s impossible to know if Rogue would even constitute a new species. She would need to be capable of having children who can have children with each other. And I don’t even want to get into how fucked up the implications of that are. It also means that if Rogue or her children could have viable offspring with ordinary humans, they cannot be different species.
-
Even if she was a whole new species, Rogue would probably not be an entirely separate Genus either. She would likely be Homo still. The split for her species wouldn’t go that high up in taxonomy.
-
An organism is not only obligated to preserve its specific traits. It’s obligated to preserve as many traits similar to its own as possible. This is why you’ll see family groups in nature work together. Uncles and aunts will nurture their nieces and nephews because a substantial portion of their own genetics lives on in their siblings’ progeny. They can still pass on some of their traits in that way.
6.5. This is why some people think gay people exist, from an evolutionary perspective. A tribe with 12 adults and 5 children is able to better provide for their collective kids than a tribe of 12 adults and 6 children. Some of the gay people’s DNA is still in their nieces and nephews.
- Sometimes you don’t need to even share genetics with someone else. Completely unrelated cat moms will raise their litters together, because it raises their chance of survival overall.
This is all basic college biology. You should be able to find it fairly easily.
I would argue Rogue would does not benefit from society and remaining lowers her chance of survival because ordinary humans want to kill mutants. See magnetos origin story. Without Professor X’s intervention Rogue would have been killed or she would would have embraced her powers and fought for survival.
As for if she would be a new species, you don’t have to purposedully inbreed anyone. It would just be a natural part of population growth. It eventually becomes inevitable.
That’s the definition of a new species however. Until Rogue’s progeny can no longer have viable offspring with anyone except themselves, they aren’t a separate species, let alone genus. This is why dog breeds aren’t different species. They may be different, but they can still have children together that can go on to have other children.

Gentle reminder there’s a kid who got the power to blow himself up. Once. And he used it. Her perspective on the evolutionary trait is positive because she got a good roll of the dice while those around her got significantly less lucky. She is able to restrain her power unlike instant death touch girl, she’s able to use it multiple times unlike Bailey Hoskins, and her big struggle is she can’t go murder psycho? Again I really think her perspective is positive because she’s got significantly more control and usability out of her mutation.
Once…well if it’s the same kid I remember reading about around the recent ‘Trial of Magneto’ then twice. He got resurrected as a zombie due to Wanda trying to resurrect the mutants that were died up on Genosha. She messed up big Zombie attack. He blew up again.
Couldn’t find anything that suggests he was resurrected or even made an appearance outside his specific comics but possibly! Really cruel fate for this kid though.
It’s the comics where horticulture appears and magik goes full demon. I definitely remember a guy who blows himself up completely as I only read genosha a couple months ago.
To be fair, mutants are just an allegory for gay or otherwise non-heterosexual people. This scene makes a lot more sense when you factor this in.
then maybe don’t have one that literally kills people she touches, or is that some fucked up reference to aids?
Nah. It was more about disability. Prof X is in a wheelchair, Cyclops is blind, Beast or Nightcrawler disfigured, Wolverine is Canadian, etc.
Nah. It was more about disability Wolverine is Canadian
I think its just minorities in general
X-Men comics are. X-Men movies are coded to sexual minorities in particular. Like the way they come out to their parents. Including parents who are politicians who are vehemently anti-mutant.
Bi/pansexuals are often accused of skirting around the problems other LGBTQ+ folk have. They can live an outwardly heteronormative life and not have to deal with social stigma. I fit in this category. This critique is sometimes unfair, but not always.
Storm is taking up this position in OP. Rogue might be analogous to a very obviously trans person who gets a lot of looks in public, if not worse. You could see why someone in that position might want a shot that makes all their problems go away.
They’re more meant to be an allegory for race, with the competing mutant organizations being the competing parts of the Civil Rights movement. Professor Xavier is MLK and Magneto is Malcolm X.
Jesus, the need to be the victim in everything is so strong nowadays.
That’s how the original comics were written… in 1963.
Add in heavy elements of anti-racisim and you have a more accurate picture.
Mutants were the marginalized, of every stripe.
After all, the early 60s we’re the height of the civil rights movement. The human enemies in the comics were saying shit that was lifted whole cloth from what white supremacists were saying in the US.

No they’re not. They’re mutants with superpowers. Not everything is a gay fable.
This is giving strong “I don’t mind gays but they don’t need to shove it in my face” energy
