X-MEN Appreciation 2019!

[DetectiveStrange]

Hi folks! We all have our favorite characters, and there are some which we don't find as appealing, which is normal. However, I thought it'd be nice to have a thread dedicated to ALL of the X-Men. Personally, I love all the major X-Men characters, as well as many major supporting characters.

So if you love Storm and Cyclops....and if you love Wolverine and Jean....and Monet, Banshee, Mimic, Meggan, Dazzler, and Dust....this thread is for you!

Please - share your love for all of Marvel's Merry Mutants!

I am so grateful to Bruce Timm for co-creating the DC Animated Universe also referred to as the 'Timmverse' or 'Diniverse'. Wish he could have done the same regarding a 'MC Animated Universe'

Marvel Super Heroes Secret Wars #7 Nov 1984
"Berserker!" First appearance of Spider-Woman aka Julia Carpenter
The heroes gathered on Battleworld by the Beyonder have discovered someone spying on them at their camp.
When the Torch corners her, the mystery woman introduces herself as Spider-Woman.
When the other heroes question how another human they haven't previously met could be on Battleworld, Mister Fantastic
theorizes that since the Beyonder constructed Battleworld from planetary fragments a portion of Earth must have been used as well.
Spider-Woman confirms this by explaining that the entire city of Denver has been brought to Battleworld.
When she explains that she has come to help, she shows that she is more than capable by demonstrating her enhanced strength.
The other heroes decide to trust her considering the fact that Dr. Doom has too much raw power to need to plant a spy among them.
Suddenly they are attacked by a giant vehicle. When the Wrecker pops out of the porthole,
he tosses out the seemingly deceased body of the Wasp before the villains take off.
Some of the heroes try to chase after them but the vehicle is too fast.
Quickly, She-Hulk picks up the Wasp's body and hands it over to their healer, the alien
woman known as Zsaji, who tries to use her powers to revive the Wasp but to no avail.
The Avengers are furious at the death of their comrade and are ready to rush off and get revenge when
Captain America stops them and reminds them of the threat of Galactus who is still preparing to consume Battleworld.
Convincing the others to stay their hand, they begin to plan their next course of action, all save for She-Hulk, who storms off on her own.

Elsewhere, the X-Men retreat from the active volcanic region, and although they failed to stop a group of villains
Xavier is impressed that they were able to send Titania, Molecule Man, Absorbing Man and Doctor Octopus packing.

However, instead of returning to base, Xavier tells them to follow after
their foes while he, Magneto, Storm and Nightcrawler rendezvous with them.
Meanwhile, aboard the villains' craft, they care for the Molecule Man, who was seriously wounded by Wolverine's claws.
Seeing Owen's condition from the monitors at Doombase, Volcana rushes to
the Enchantress and asks the Asgardian sorceress to teleport her to Owen's side.
When Volcana tells Amora that she is willing to do anything, the Enchantress teleports her away, satisfied by this offer.
Volcana appears within the ship just as the two containing the X-Men and Magneto attack.


During the course of the ensuing battle, Wolverine manages to chop off the
Absorbing Man's arm while he is in the form of stone, but is burned badly by Volcana.
Outnumbered and outgunned, Volcana calls a strategic withdrawal and uses her powers to cover their escape.
At that moment aboard Galactus' ship, Doctor Doom continues to search
for something that will allow him to defeat Galactus and the Beyonder.
However, his plan to create a distraction by creating volcanic eruptions on the other side
of Battleworld has backfired and has succeeded only in alerting Galactus to Doom's presence.
Locating the intruder, Galactus uses his power to violently eject Doom from his ship.

Back at Doombase, Doctor Octopus and his crew return and Volcana almost gets into a fight with the Enchantress.
Titania stops her and warns the Enchantress that if Owen Reece dies she will rip her leg off and stuff it down her throat.
Elsewhere, the Absorbing Man wonders what to do about his severed arm. By holding it in place where it was cut,
he risks changing back to human form and is surprised when his gambit pays off and his arm reattaches itself.
While down below in the dungeon the members of the Wrecking Crew lock the Lizard
in a cell since he cannot be controlled after they seemingly killed the Wasp.
Leaving the Lizard to rot, the Wrecking Crew are unaware that Klaw has been secretly watching the entire situation unfold.
When Bulldozer retires to his room he notices that the wall has been ripped open from outside.
Suddenly he is ambushed by She-Hulk, who begins to pummel on him for his part in the Wasp's death.
Hearing the commotion, Titania enters the room and sees that the
She-Hulk has defeated every member of the Wrecking Crew in a fight.
She gets the jump on She-Hulk just as Doctor Octopus and Absorbing Man enter the fray.
In yet another part of Doombase, the Enchantress laments over her current situation and pines for the love of Thor.
Her thoughts are distracted by the return of Doctor Doom who has
just barely survived being ejected from the Worldship of Galactus.
He stumbles into his room and passes out, proclaiming that the battle is over.

As the other villains are pummeling She-Hulk, the other heroes have discovered that she is missing.
When Hulk and Hawkeye tell this to Cap and try to get him to mobilize a searching party, Captain America denies their request.
When Cap sees that others want to go out and rescue her, he reminds them all that the stakes are too high to make decisions of the heart.
Elsewhere in the village, Colossus is finally up and about after recovering from his injuries. He goes looking for Zsaji
and finds her as she is leaving her hut. When she suddenly collapses he is there to catch her.
Suddenly, Captain America is contacted by Professor X who tells him that he and his
team can go after She-Hulk while the X-Men take their place watching over Galactus.
With this bit of news, Captain America orders everyone to get ready to move out.
NOTE: The Beyonder created Battleworld from pieces of hundreds of worlds from across the universe. The city of Denver was one of those pieces.
