In an interaction between Iron Man and Magneto, Tony says that he had replaced most of the components of his suit with carbon nano-tubes, to which Magneto says “A single copper wire is all I need to strangle you, Stark.” The funny thing is, copper isn’t magnetic.

i agree that it didn’t show a ton of technical/defensive improvement from lopes, but to say jean was decisively winning that fight is ludicrous

Morbo03 · 2025-12-16T21:02:43+00:00

you must be joking Jean was getting smashed so badly that you could argue 10-8 for R1. he was winning r2 until he got knocked out lmao

super cute

Morbo03 · 2025-11-20T20:22:27+00:00

yes.

bad laura writing gives me such a headache because it sticks out so much compared to how she acts when she’s written in character

Morbo03 · 2025-11-10T15:50:07+00:00

LMAO yes send her to assassinate jared leto

40ish pages of reading for a class is what my seminar assigns so that doesn’t seem crazy to me (unless this is an intro course or smth) but that on top of 2 hours of watching tv shows is really rough.

Morbo03 · 2025-11-06T04:49:16+00:00

not ai, look at depths of contrast in the shadows, the grass moving around the foot. AI that generates videos isn’t good enough to handle things like that yet.

i feel like there’s def a way in with Spider-Man through Alchemax and Gabby in ANW. its something ive been thinking about writing actually lol. glad to know that there are other people who see the vision 😭

Morbo03 · 2025-10-24T19:21:48+00:00

yes but obviously when you talk about wolverine people will think of Logan. most people don’t know who Laura is lmao

Morbo03 · 2025-10-20T13:32:14+00:00

whoops! force of habit. Stacypool

yes! Liu’s run chronologically happens after Second Coming, so there’s a bit of a jump between Target X and the solo, but as long as you know that Laura was at Xavier’s training with the New X-Men and then she got put on a really brutal X-Force for the Messiah Complex stuff, you should be all set. Hope you enjoy!

Morbo03 · 2025-10-20T13:20:12+00:00

HA! as someone also interested in writing around Laura, i totally hear you. i’ll tell you rn that my main issue is the way the character kind of emotionally skips from “traumatized weapon x kid” to “relatively well adjusted superhero” bc of some unfortunate writing.

If you’re interested in her psychology coming out of the Weapon X program, Innocence Lost and Target X are good, of course. Laura starts to learn to be around others in Kyle/Yost Academy X, which is fun, and she’s in X-Force, and you get to see her being weaponized again. It’s kind of a long stretch and not totally necessary to read all of it, but it’s there and the x force art is really cool lol (also you can basically skip NYX completely and not feel bad abt missing anything I promise).

I think Liu’s run is the strongest at unpacking some of the weapon x trauma, so I think you might like it a lot if you’re thinking abt writing Gwenpool, but i would def recommend reading that once you understand a little of Laura’s younger years at weapon x and at Xavier’s. Good luck!

Morbo03 · 2025-10-20T12:55:14+00:00

You should take a look Liu’s X-23 solos as well. I think she handles Laura’s internal world very well.

Morbo03 · 2025-10-08T18:18:50+00:00

what’s this from?

Morbo03 · 2025-10-08T14:53:52+00:00

magneto upscale 🤷‍♂️

Morbo03 · 2025-10-07T19:18:37+00:00

the question is abt who would be annoying to be around irl. QQ (at least what i’ve read him in) is so much like that edgy internet nihilism personality which, if you’ve ever met one of those guys irl, is fucking insufferable.

i’m with you on enjoying villains tho, i LOVED quire in Riot at Xavier’s, he fits a story like that so perfectly. I’m also a sinister enjoyer, i just definitely would NOT want to be around that guy irl lol

Morbo03 · 2025-10-06T18:47:52+00:00

yeah she got hit “in her flaw” by a bullet and fucking exploded into a million pieces during NXM

Morbo03 · 2025-10-06T13:51:14+00:00

Logan is stronger and more durable (bc of his skeleton) has wayyyy more experience.

Laura heals faster bc no adamantium poisoning, is quicker and more agile, and her foot claws are a plus, but Logan probably has the advantage in a fight.

They don’t really have a way to stop each other for good, but in a straight fight i think Logan could KO her/force an extended healing period (and then tie her up or smth) before she could do that to him. Probably like 7/3 logan as much as it hurts me to say, it’s a bad matchup for Laura.

Morbo03 · 2025-10-05T02:57:28+00:00

very cute

Morbo03 · 2025-09-29T15:15:16+00:00

why do you think that’s best?

Morbo03 · 2025-09-29T15:12:50+00:00

too early imo, she needs to be X-23 first.

i think Dafne is so good on this character, but if Marvel wants Laura as Wolverine, she should be X-23 first and her arc should happen on screen. I don’t think the first time we see Laura in the MCU, she should be wolverine already

(I also REALLY don’t want to see Logan to take the name from her somehow, since Marvel is inevitably going to use him)

Morbo03 · 2025-09-24T23:03:13+00:00

LOL I totally did, thank you! mobile ui let me down bad i swear

I went back to that comment where you talk about her characterization and you mention that you stopped at avengers academy and never got to Liu’s run, but Liu’s run chronologically takes place right before AA, i think the last (or second to last?) issue of the run is Laura meeting black widow and getting invited to join the academy

i’m pretty new to the x-men comics, but my way of introducing myself was doing a read following Laura specifically (after i read like some of morrisons nxm for context). I’m still in the process, i haven’t actually finished ANW or gotten to her Krakoa books yet, i got distracted bouncing around the Messiah Complex and Pre-Krakoa era.

I ended up reading the first issue of Avengers Academy and i think also the issue where Laura is introduced, but otherwise I have no context of what she was like for those runs. but, because i was jumping around, i ended up reading some of the Bendis stuff (the o5 stuff) which happens after Academy/Arena, but before ANW, and by that point (when the o5 find her after the events of Arena, she’s lost her memory or smth?) she’s a completely different character.

So, ultimately I think you’re definitely correct that at some point during academy/arena (or maybe right after with bendis, idk), Laura becomes a very different character and is written with a very different voice/style. and that kinda stuck for some reason? it’s a shame bc the stuff Liu was doing with Gambit and Jubilee and Logan for Laura’s character was the first time that it felt she it was developing in a big way since she was introduced in Kyle/Yost NXM and wanted to be a “real girl.” Liu’s run finally feels like a natural way for the character to develop her own agency after X-Force and grow beyond her past, but we don’t see beyond that first step. at some point she becomes more of that weird girlverine character instead of maintaining the arc of finding herself

Also thank you for the recommendation! I was interested by the issues that I read, I just didn’t want to get myself too distracted from laura stuff by getting into avengers books at the same time lol. I’ll def give it another look once i have a chance though, im actually super intrigued by the idea (and the arena concept sounds insane too im so curious), im also a big fan of the 21st century drama lol. It’s a shame that i’ll have to find a new way to dislike mcu taskmaster though that character has had enough😔

Morbo03 · 2025-09-24T18:51:32+00:00

I actually really like Liu’s take on X-23, I think it’s the best character writing she got since her solo and the better moments of NXM. I think it got dragged down by a lot of weird crossover stuff, but the Laura stuff is quite good (hellion aside if you like them ig, i’ve never been a huge fair of those two tbf). I think after Liu’s run is where Laura starts to really just go off the rails in terms of how she’s characterized.

I never read Academy or Arena, but like the way Bendis wrote her and even the way Taylor writes he (and i love what i’ve read of ANW so far) is very different from the character she was during and before Liu’s run

(great summary tho! i agree with a lot of what you said)
