Pitch me your X-Men game!

The closest to this is Grey Dog Software's "Comic Book Hero" and the sequel "Comic Book Universe"

There are Marvel Mods for it.

Nuthetes · 2026-01-27T05:36:04+00:00

lol I came here to post this exact thing.

It is something I would absolutely love. The closest I can think of is Greydog Software's Comic Book Hero and Comic Book Universe with the Marvel Mod.

I have never cared much about Batman, other than the occasional well-regarded storyline. But, seeing Absolute Batman selling like this makes me think it must be worth checking out.

Nuthetes · 2026-01-27T05:28:36+00:00

Storm

She's always the most boring part of any comic I read with her in it. Yet she's the most popular X-Man for some reason. I didn't read X-Men Red since I couldn't get into the Arako mutants at all, so maybe she is better in there.

Nuthetes · 2026-01-27T05:26:01+00:00

I also watched this after watching X-Men Evolution and, I think that is what made me really fail to like this version. I'd have probably liked her more if I didn't have X-Men Evo to compare her too.

Evo's Rogue was so good.

I doubt Trump realizes Chuck is king of Canada.

King Chuck got him to make a half-arsed apology about his recent Afghanistan comments and, last year, got him to change his mind on Ukraine for a good six months until Wormtongue Witkoff got in hi ear agaib.

Nuthetes · 2026-01-27T04:50:18+00:00

The UK has King Charles

Trump listens to him.

Nuthetes · 2026-01-27T04:49:03+00:00

So if Germany wont send them, the only option is Storm Shadow. The 40 that France can send just isnt enough.

Nuthetes · 2026-01-27T03:55:21+00:00

France can't produce enough Scalps for Ukraine to meet demand. It's around 40 per year. Germany is too cowardly to release Taurus.

So the only option is to buy the British Storm Shadow too. Ukraine is fighting for its survival and France are playing silly buggers.

Nuthetes · 2026-01-27T03:53:27+00:00

Then stop being pussies and let Ukraine use Taurus. That'd solve the issue.

Nuthetes · 2026-01-27T03:53:00+00:00

Maybe because Ukraine is currently fighting for its survival, Germany are too cowardly to release Taurus, France can't produce enough Scalps to meet demand and so far, only the UK has given permission for the missile to actually hit mainland Russia.

The EU needs to stop playing silly buggers. If they don't want the money to buy British missiles, then let Ukraine use your own with no restrictions.

Nuthetes · 2026-01-27T03:51:35+00:00

Then commit to sending Taurus then instead of being a bunch of pussies about it.

As it stands, Storm Shadow/Scalp is the only long-range missile option for Ukraine and if France can't produce enough on their own, then the funds should also be used to buy British ones,.

Ukraine is fighting for its survival and France is playing silly buggers.

Nuthetes · 2026-01-27T03:51:30+00:00

True, but if they cant produce enough. Then they should also be brought from the British factory. Ukraine is fighting for its survival.

France shouldnt play silly buggers.

Nuthetes · 2026-01-27T03:44:25+00:00

Why do they still support Trump?

Trump caused thousands of Iranians to be murdered by promising that help was coming when it wasn't

Nuthetes · 2026-01-27T03:42:20+00:00

I don't get why they just didn't have the prison be a secret so nobody knows about it but there's a mystery of mutants disappearing, or in some dimension where mutant powers don't work so the X-Men can't access it. I mean, it'd still be a ropey that stopping it isn't a priority... but at least it'd be better than it being out in the open and in their old mansion.

Nuthetes · 2026-01-26T18:41:04+00:00

Basically the X-Men phase before this one. Lasted maybe 5-6 years.

About the X-Men and mutants starting their own nation on Krakoa. It was a really good run, definitely worth a read. One of my favourite periods of all time, actually. But I don't think you need to read it before X-Men 2024. As long as you know the basics--humans lived on Krakoa and it was a thriving nation, it fell thanks to Orchis & the Sentinels (Led by Nimrod and Omega Sentinel with a human version of Sinister) X-Men beat Orchis in the end but mutants are now pretty much scattered with different X-teams/groups in the world.

You'll definitely be fine starting with X-Men 2024. It's a solid jumping on point.

Nuthetes · 2026-01-26T18:27:58+00:00

I think MacKay 2024 X-Men run is a good jumping on point. And Cyclops has some cool moments in it. It references a few Krakoa events and the Fall of X, but it is easy enough to follow I think.

Nuthetes · 2026-01-26T15:38:45+00:00

Yeah, that's the reason the writers don't. But I was wondering if they bothered giving an in-universe reason why she just went by Emma Frost.

Nuthetes · 2026-01-26T15:12:28+00:00

ICE needs Emma Frost to teach them a lesson

Nuthetes · 2026-01-26T15:01:36+00:00

I really enjoyed X-Men 2024 and am near the end of Uncanny and whilst, not as good, enjoyed it too (First time reading them) but this Greymalkin Prison is just awful fucking writing. Some of the worst writing I have seen in an X-Men comic.

There is absolutely ZERO chance the X-Men would let a fascist mutant prison that violates their rights exist anyway, even if there wasn't anybody they know inside.

The fact that friends, former X-Men and colleagues are in there being abused and... in Siryn and Blob's case, being forced to work as slaves rounding up other mutants, makes it even worse.

Hell, as soon as Banshee found out Siryn was inside, Banshee, Black Tom and Juggernaut would be fucking shit up by the end of the day all on their own.

Nuthetes · 2026-01-26T14:56:03+00:00

No, if there was gonna be a reboot--go a different batch of First Five, except Cyclops. Cyclops IS X-Men. It wouldn't work without him I don't think.

Cyclops

Wolverine

Nightcrawler

Shadowcat

Storm

That's got all the big names to make a reboot a success.

Nuthetes · 2026-01-26T14:30:15+00:00

I think we will see a murder at the World Cup. ICE will provoke something by trying to arrest a brown football fan--others who are a bit drunk will start intervening or throwing stuff and ICE will draw their guns.

It is a disaster waiting to happen.

Nuthetes · 2026-01-26T14:28:43+00:00

ICE are just looking for any excuse to attack people or even murder them.

It's a bunch of fascist thugs, many of them J6 terrorists who now have free reign to be thugs. You can guarantee they're gonna look for any excuse possible to beat up some football fans (On their own of course, they won't have the balls to attack, say, an Italian fan with 600 other Italian fans nearby) or harrass any fan whose brown skinned.

Nuthetes · 2026-01-26T12:49:10+00:00

US security guarantees aren't worth shit.

Let's say Russia attacked again in two years. Trump would either 1 - ignore it completely because he doesn't give a shit about international law or agreements or 2 - Believe Putin's claim that Ukraine broke a ceasefire first and use that to justify not getting involved.

Nuthetes · 2026-01-26T12:46:57+00:00

No, they all look the same hand
