    But even Xavier himself, introduced in a wheelchair *decades ago*, has abandoned that chair and is walking on shiny new legs. He doesn't give a fig for disability representation...

    Taki's an odd one. He could 'walk' in a split second, by reconfiguring his wheelchair into a pair of exoskeletal leg-braces and either using his powers to 'walk' or actually creating a genuine machine that responds to his mental commands and walks under it's own mechanical power (allowing him to continue walking even in a 'some idiot shot us with a mutant-powers-B-gone-ray again!' situation).

    He could literally do this, with his brain (and his mutant power, obviously!), in less time than it took for me to type it. So he's gotta be *choosing* to remain in that chair, for other reasons (like he's been in it for so long that he's got zero sense of balance anymore and would have to learn how to walk all over again, which he doesn't want to devote the time to do, or allow one of Krakoa's thirty-bajillion telepaths to download into his brain...).
    Nice love the footwork on Taki. Buuut way back in X-Terminators when Taki was around Leech he's powers were of course negated and so his (Techno-manipulated) chair broke apart. So wouldn't the device malfunction if shot by some idiot

    They left Hellion with prophetic hands with no explanation, what chance did she have?

    Question, does Brand care that several tons of burning hot metal are barreling down towards Mars? Or is she counting on whatever Omega is there to stop it from happening?

    Some of those details that you suggest to ignore are , depending on the person a unbelievable sore point, a shocking pink square inside a yellow circle, attracting your attention no matter what. And sometimes they are not that much of a detail, some times is just a frustrating style choice, because the character look cooler that way.
    And over analysing comic is innate tk comic book reader, is half of the fun. Talking about this stuff is what make these sort of boards interesting

    I never suggested ignoring the details. And Suspending your disbelief is not ignoring those details. It's actually quite the opposite.

    Either they messed up the image and the wording or i have to go get my eyes checked because the picture shown doesn't look like Earth.

    In either case, it is still messed up just how far she went, then again letting untold number of innocents die for her machinations is not out of character for her.

    My biggest complaint about the site is that I have no way to give certain comments likes/hearts/kudos, because a lot of you guys are funny as hell.
