My slightly older friend had to explain it to me when the issue came out.)Donald Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04535805371574642125noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4142199900369238852.post-22118139127236395872019-03-06T17:09:02.096-05:002019-03-06T17:09:02.096-05:00To give the Prof some credit, stairs would be the ...To give the Prof some credit, stairs would be the worst place to fall in a house. So, I expect the tentacles are on stairways (and probably the shower/bath).<br /><br />Damned convenient for the scene that Marvel Girl is nowhere in sight. Her TK power would make the tentacles look second rate in catching the Prof.<br /><br />I always smirk when evil telepaths trumpet "I can read your mind! I know your plan of attack the moment you think of it!" Always a tactical bonus, but rather depending on whether said telepath can do anything at all about the attack. "Yup indeed. Colossus is about to put a metal fist thru my head. So long, world."<br /><br />To me, a creature capable of dismissing the attacks of Cyclops or Colossus would not be much inconvenienced by a 17 second blizzard. Whether this result triggers a grunt of displeasure depends entirely on which X-Man the reader favours. Me, I always preferred Colossus (and Cyclops) over Storm. So I grunt.<br /><br />And this was in the innocent new days when "clone" was still a fresh and clever idea in Marvel stories...Big Murrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03311467081145732439noreply@blogger.com
