Jean: "Suh-weet, new powers, new outlook on life, new EEEVVVEERRRYYYTTTHHHIIIINNNGGG!"
Scott: "Wait, I lost like fifteen levels worth of exp. What the f...?"
[QUOTE=Ulfhammer;4416119]It's arguable that this would have happened even if Scott was "in charge". A lot of decisions in X-Men history have been made by committee. I support direct field leadership because you can't really run ops via committee. There are some non-field decisions that also require a single character to make the call but generally speaking over the X-Men's history, a lot of leeway has been given for discussions about any course of action that was seen as controversial. It's actually in the best interests of the leader and the group to seek consensus where possible.[/QUOTE]
Not only that, this was already done before- in Utopia, for example. Rosenberg is the one pretending it never happened.

[QUOTE=FluffyCyclopsRLZ;4416107]Would love to hear his Lordship's response to this, lol.
Along with the not-being-manipulated-anymore part, this would further explains HickmanClops' half-smile from that HoX/Pox image.

TBF, the committee did its job right. Its just that they were dumb enough to let DARK Beast do what he wants while thinking he wouldnt do something evil.

Yes. I have no idea why anyone trust him. He did one mildly decent think and Dani's vouching for him? They should have really known better, especially Cyke.

Mind-control is Rosenberg's way of hand-waving it.

The extinction team you mean? I got the sense that otherwise Scott was basically running everything else personally or through Emma\the Cuckoos.
[QUOTE=Havok83;4415650]Scott has been manipulated since his return. First by Cable, then Emma, now Sinister. I cant wait for the real Scott to actually return[/QUOTE]
This sums up my view on the situation.

They voted on issues, not like anyone can force people like Namor or Magneto to do much.

So a typical Tuesday for Scott then?

The extinction team was basically Scott's peers so it makes sense he'd be a little less heavy-handed with them. I didn't get the sense this was the case generally with all the X-teams operating out of Utopia though. I mean the place had a command center and Scott was usually there. Classic command and control tactics.

Unfortunately yes, at least for now.
Sooo... nobody is going to touch the pet name Emma gave Scott?
Didn't mention it in the spoilers thread on account of not wanting to trigger a few select folks, but that bit was just too funny.

Its this one that cuts the deepest. Cause just like Dark Angel Saga, Scott will never know.

Any mention of it might spark something to be honest. Even here...
