I may be completely wrong about this, but I recall reading that one Marvel's
miniseries for '93 is going to be a four-issue Shatterstar story.  He ain't
dead folks.  But as Fred Gwynn said in Pet Sematery, "Sometimes dead is better"

BTW, I haven't read an x-title for about two years, but have picked them up
again for X-cutioner's Story.  Can somebody tell me who Shatterstar is and what
his mutant power is?

Stryfe did say "mother" and "father" (with the quotes)  this means that they

I suppose this brings up an interesting question: how much does Jamie
remember what happened to his dupes when he reassembles himself?  I
mean, even if a dupe manages to assert a distinct personality, that
personality must disappear or at least it would exist
only subconsciously.  If Jamie were to experience his
dupe's memories in a flash as if they were a dream, how certain can
he be of what really happened?  I think that might be the kind of
question Jamie was supposed to have been asking himself at the end of
X-Force #16.

I'm kind of reluctant to believe that Shatterstar is in fact the son of
Longshot and Dazzler.  I know, I know, the very end of the latest Mojoverse
escapade with the X-men implies that ([paraphrasing] Dazzler to Longshot: "You
want to name him Shaterstar?").  But Shatterstar left the Mojoverse 100 yrs.
after Longshot did, and Shatterstar was looking for heroes to help overthrow
Mojo V (Mojo the Fifth).  Does anyone know if time passes differently in the
Mojoverse, or the estimated life-span of Longshot's created kind (which might
not count as much anyways, since if Shatterstar really is their son, he's a
sort of hybrid.  Maybe the Shatterstar we know is a grandson or something...

No one has the right to vote against any politician unless he thinks he
can do better.

Movie critics shouldn't be allowed to write negative reviews unless they
can do a better job than the director.

I knew someone who died because the surgeon working on him was
incompetent.  But, I can't do surgery any better than that myself, so I
have no right to complain.

... I hope you see how absurd an argument of this nature is.  When
you're paying someone to do a job, it is not enough for them to be
simply better than yourself-- they have to be actually qualified.  I
freely admit that I can't draw my way out of a paper bag... even Liefeld
is better than I am.   But that doesn't mean anyone has "no right
whatsoever to complain."

>maybe they came into a shit situation and tried to make the best of it

shit situation?  X-Men was *good* before Harras took over (at least
compared to now.)  New Mutants had actual characterization before Weezie
ruined it.  Harras fired Claremont, who made the Xmen what they were,
just because Jim Lee happened to be more popular with the fanboys that
particular month.  The "shit situation" was manufactured by Harras et
al.

Hey, people! Listen up, please!

Thanks.

Now, there's a lot of threads currently running around here on xbooks in
which, numerous times, people leave the accepted Spoiler lead, and then
say something.

Now that's not bad.

But then, there are those who respond to the original post. And, they just
recopy everything, and put their comments at the end. Or, perhaps, they
sprinkle them throughout the body, like raisins in a rising loaf.

Now, that's okay.

But when people are responding to the response of the responders, and
are still quoting EVRYTHING, even things they aren't commenting on, and
the posts are just growing larger and larger, it's becomes slightly more
dire than just "okay."

It's not bad, of course -- but it is annoying.

It also makes for ungainly things to read, with numerous >>>>>> pushing the
text lines of the screen, and, for those poor souls having to read xbooks on
a CMS account, it makes for a bitch to page down and get to the new stuff (I
should know, I only escaped from CMS a few months back, and still bear the
horrible scars of my entrapment).

So, I'd just like to propose that, if you're going to respond to a post, to
edit down the post to the lines you are responding to, plus perhaps enough
entry lines to let people joining in mid-thread guess what's being
discussed.

It's just some common courtesy to make our netting just that much more
speedy, efficient, and fun.

Well his mutant power is to channel some sort of energy blast through
his sword.  And if he is lucky, he will hit someone.  There, that ties
him in to both Dazzler and Longshot :) 
Actually, I dont know why he cant use his power without the swords, but
he hasn't used it for quite some time now anyway.

Which only means that Shatterstar can heal only if some kind, mutant soul
pours a whole bunch of food'n'drink down his punctured guzzet pretty soon.
Having a nice, fast metabolism don't help with nothin' to metabolize, son.

OK, I have several working theories on who Cable might be:

1)  Cyclop's and Madeline Pryor's son.  I know, overused and 
    unlikely, but still a possibility.


2)  Crazy Nate from the pages of Guardians of the Galaxy. As 
    pointed out by a correspondence to Wizard magazine.


3)  A relative to Longshot.  Look at the glowing eye.  Hmmm...?


My personal belief is that Stryfe is actually the Summers' child
and Cable is Stryfe come back from an alternate future.  Then 
again, I could be having another bad acid trip....

Oh well, such is my fate.....

Sounds good...something has to be done with those characters even though 
some of them are pretty young.  

How about this:

the Fallen Angels can make up the core of the New Mutants, with Poltergist
and Link (from the Beauty and the Beast miniseries), the Greys, and the Mann's.
In addition to the X-terminator kids.  This wouldn't be a fighting team
(of course the New Mutants never were originally...) but they would be
*childern* taking classes.  Since there are a lot of telekenitics, it would
be fun to see them take "Telekenetics 101 with Prof. Jean Grey"  guest
lectures would be held by Phoenix and Marvel Boy. :) :)

Why does this sound familiar?       The words Gambit,Judas,Traitor etc. ring

the readers start understanding What Is Going On. The same thing happened
with the Gambit-betraying-the-x-men story. And now they are doing it with
Cable/Nathan/Whoever.  What's the point of dropping clues of Things To Come 
when you are going to ignore them anyway?

P.S. I just had to post this, in order to get some of my growing anger towards
the Marvel powers that be, out of my system. Thanks.
