That's rather dramatized.
Although unwanted, the intent was to protect them.
Its not like they had them chained up or took away their personal belongings or denied them food and water. They were basically under house arrest.
Again -- NOT IDEAL and certainly NOT WANTED, but it IS a ginormous mansion we're talking about verging on resort-style accomodations.
From Carol's perspective, again, it was for their protection. I don't remember any remote tracker implants.
Were the implanted weapons for their protection?
Was putting a hand selected psychotic bigot in charge for there protection, With the woman who wrote a government plan for mutant genocide as his number two being added protection?
Was tracking down escapees for their protection?
Did the Sentinels shoot at Angel , Cycle and company for their protection?
House arrest requires a court order and a criminal conviction what was done hewer was unlawful detention, multiple cases of assault, and a few cases of attempted murder. And interment camp without even a legal fig leaf all the legal loopholes that allowed that were closed before any of us hear, including old farts like me were born
With protection like that you need a life insurance policy and have a urgent need to buy a burial plot
I don't recall any implanted weapons. Sorry.
Your passion for the X-Men leads me to interpret your posts as being confrontational and/or hostile, so I'm going to politely decline further discussion.
Happy Posting sir.
Now, addressing the entire thread, has anyone heard news of new members yet for Uncanny Avengers?
I'm guessing not or it would have already been brought up?

Yeah, basically all of that is from the 198 miniseries. It's a decent read, and followed up on/loose threads tied up in the X-Men: Civil War tie-in mini-series. None of the implant stuff really extended beyond that mini, but the lunatic that the US government put in charge of the "security operation" basically turned the Xavier estate grounds from school, to Indian reservation, to internment camp in the space of a few days.
ththatnosseed, thanks for the share!
Ah. Got it.
I didn't follow the 198 mini. Sorry to anyone I may have offended.
Comic College. I don't think the 198 story had much Bishop (maybe not any) but he's pretty prominent in the X-Men: Civil War one. In any event I liked 198 in the context of everything else that was going on during Decimation. I didn't think the X-Men: Civil War mini was as good, but I liked that it wrapped up the plot threads which were largely being ignored in the other X-Books. I'll try to remember to look for them when I stop by my folks place later this week. If I don't still have them, they're probably floating around the Half-Price books circuit somewhere.
X-Men: The 198 is available at Amazon in a TPB form. :-)
Still hoping for Banshee!
