Episode 097 – The Crooked World

==Episode Description== __NOTOC__
In which we venture out of our wheelhouse; Contest of Champions is ridiculous in any medium; Captain Britain would like you to unhand that elf; the Fury is legitimately terrifying; the Special Executive is the best at heists; Brian Braddock knows exactly what he’s getting into; Merlyn is the multiversal Charles Xavier; and this is really just the tip of the iceberg.

== Listener Questions ==
* I've been listening to some older episodes today, specifically #57 , and I was wondering: did you ever find out what happened to Artie's kitten Muffin?
* If you had to cast Nic Cage as a character from the X-universe, who would he be?
* I was wondering: what's Deadpool's deal? I know he's not an X-character, but (and I guess this is more for Jay) why is there such a strong distaste for him? Is it because of a Wolverine problem where he's been oversaturated?
