Nope.  X-force got their collective butts kicked, and were taken away
in chains.  Y'know, that actually makes sense, given how much more
x-perience the x-teams they were fighting had.  Maybe this is a beginning
for *sensible plots!*

	sorry to burst your bubble on the death of mr star, but
	he does have a healing factor, of sorts

	since he has admitted to coming from the mojo-verse
	and that he is one of the `ultimate arena warriors`
	who really knows what experiments were done to him
	at least don`t put it past past the last mr mojo

	shatterstar`s healing factor consists of having
	and acclerated bio-metabolism, this in itself
	leaves shatterstar open for much humor....for 
	example, with his accelerated metabolism he must
	eat a lot of twinkies and pizza, or somethinf like that

	as for mr logan as the cause of death, that don`t
	cut it.  logan has been trying to keep from flipping
	out since the death of mariko and i don't think that
	he would take it out on shatterstar, who he has met
	and for those out there that don`t know, it was in
	wolverine #55 that the two met accidentally.  i think 
	that wolverine knew that deep down shatterstar is a good
	person, who is a `killing machine` like he is so i think
	logan would cut him some slack in the personality 
	department, killing was not the proper attitude adjustment
	for shatterstar, you can`t develope that character of an
	inert corpse, though many in marvel have tried.....
	for the most part, i think wolverine understood shatterstar
	and who he was and killing him was a bit out of character,
	i could see it if shatterstar went after jubilee, but not 
	now, not here

	personally, i would have liked to have seen madrox take on
	warpath, just like in a tom and jerry cartoon, tom gets

He ought to, he wrote the dumb story.  That's the only thing I've got
against him, that he decided to remake Lockjaw, who could have been a
wonderful character.  IMO (added because I know I'm going to be in
trouble when people see this), the explanation was as bad as the fact
noone used him!  Personally (like one letcol writer said), I just
can't see them playing a "practical joke" with Luna's life possibly at
stake.
  My opinion - the Inhumans found out Quicksilver, Grimm, etc. had
been shooting off their mouths about Lockjaw to the superhero
community in general and came up with this cockamamie story to
preserve Lockjaw's privacy.  They told it to Quicksilver and he
believed it (here's where any laughing they might have gotten at
Pietro's expense would have come up).

	I think that Shatterstar can go a long way as a character.  We all know
he's supposed to be Longshot and Dazzler's son.  We all also know that he's from
Mojoworld.  He can have a few good misadventures trying to addapt to this world.
Also, he can finally have a father and mother (Longshot and Dazzler) since he
probably didn't have them as he grew up (interesting ... isn't it?).  If 
handled by the right writers, Longshot (as well as some of the other mutants who
seem drab) can become great characters.  Hopefully, the New Mutants will reband
(but, still call themselves X-Force since they can't be called New Mutants [too
young]) and the mutants can be a family again and share and have their own
adventures.  We can have a few months of a 'Golden Age' type thing until another
x-over.
	What's your opinion, we'd like to know!

I've been one of the believers in that theory since the beginning, too,
but I know that the writers and scripters know that we are all debating
just those kind of issues.  They're toying with us!  That's why so many
(believers or not) are hesitant to take Stryfe's words at face value. 
The writers could change their mind between every issue of the crossover
and still come out with a believable reason for choosing any kind of
relationship between Cable, Nathan and Stryfe.  They're just stringing
everbody along until the end.

(EVERYthing deleted!  >:)  >;)   )

Actually, after seeing two or three followups to this, it already
seems like a bad idea.

Why?

Too many mutants!  I think they should go with the formula that helped make
most team comics great... KISS (keep it simple, stupid!)  I think that one
thing that killed the New Mutants title (barring Louise Simonson's reign
of terror) was the fact that there were too many of them.  It`s nearly
impossible to focus on each member of the team and develop characters'
personalities, and still get outside conflicts.  (I think it's one reason
why Claremont split the kids up into two different teams for two totally
different storylines towards the end of the Sienkiewicz era... with
Dani, Rahne, Warlock and Doug visiting Muir Isle with Prof X in the
Legion "Mindscape" story, and Sam and Illyana (along with Kitty, Daz, Lila
and company) going to rescue Roberto and Amara from the Gladiators in
"Meanwhile, Back at the Mansion...").

ANYway, with all the names you guys listed, it's WAY too big... The idea
for Karma's brother and sister was good, though.  The rest are way too
young, and I'm not sure about the former Heartbreak Hotel'ers.  Karma as
their mentor would be a good idea...

Three points here:  Captain Britain is no longer leader of Excalibur,
Nightcrawler is.

Cable is no longer leader of X-Force, Cannonball is.

Excalibur is spelled that way, not X-Calibur.  (Minor nitpick, I know.
Obscure Trivia Lad was bored and decided to play Spelling Boy.)

Anyway, I'd probably vote for Nightcrawler as best leader, and Excalibur
as best team.  (Well, at least best book, which is more or less the

	Again I apologize for my friggin terminal;  hyperspace must be
getting pretty full of my messages.  

	Anyway, has anyone out there followed X-Men dialogue for awhile?
I just picked up Uncanny 171, where Rogue joins the crew, and her 
"Southern Belle" accent is barely noticeable.  Now she speaks like a Hee-Haw
throwback (I'm gonna hate to hear her voice in the series...).
	And read my lips:  Give Gambit a few years and dat Cajun boy he gonna
be talkin' like de Cajun cook, I GUARaaunTEE it!
