Faster than the mechanism in Scott's visor
Then again, this is the new age cyclops that can go blow to blow with wolverine without death, so who knows anymore.
I thought War Machine now has that fancy new Iron Man 2.0 armour without the minigun and rocket launcher

he's faster than the average meta-human. plus Cyke has to hit the button on his visor.

Cue the complaints about "Slim" Summers actually being slim.

I'm not sure where Wanda's at with the Avengers or X-Men right now; that Children's Crusade miniseries that brought her back still hasn't ended either. Two issues left?
I'm fine with him being slim, after all, he's supposed to be. But what's with him always tilting to the left?

One issue, ships the 29th. I'm enjoying it, but it's been kind of disappointing with some poor Avengers and X-Men characterization, and it seems to be more about getting Wanda and the Young Avengers from continuity point A to point B than telling a character-driven story. Hopefully, we'll finally get a proper YA Vol. 2 once AvX concludes.

This is a question I've had about the x-men for a while now, and I guess I'll ask it here since it seems super-relevant: There's plenty of x-men like cyclops whose power seems to be some offensive thing. If that's all the powers they've got, then they are squishy vulnerable meatbags as far as getting hit goes. Do they all have some passive resiliency mutation that I don't know about, or is this just a thing that gets ignored in the stories?
The X-men have a whole hardbody(Rockslide, Bling, etc) squad that Cyke lead against the vampires.

I don't think they have any kind of superhuman resilience, but Cyclops is in pretty good shape. And the suits are probably armored, so I'm sure they can take a hit.

X-Men uniforms are made from unstable molecules that Reed Richards invented. Thats all you need to know!

Art is some of the better JRJR work I've seen, and the script is decent for a Bendis team book, but it's not a good sign that it's written as though none of the Phoenix stories post-Dark Phoenix Saga ever happened.

everyone has variable levels of durability. some are almost completely invulnerable to just about any physical damage (colossus), some have healing factors that regenerate damage gained (wolverine, etc), and some are just standard human (cyclops). depends on the character.
The avengers (or any other superteam) really aren't any different.

All I know is Hope better die horribly in this event. Worst character in a while.

Bah, that last preview seems to indicate they are going ahead with Eric Fail Nova rather than Richard Rider. Damn you Loeb.

Hope is just a little too much angst for me to like her.
I'm slightly confused: How do you keep something like the Phoenix a secret among the X-Men? I mean, at this point Emma, Rachel, the Cuccoos, Prof. X, Wolverine, and Spider-Man have all been Phoenix hosts at some point, right? Someone would have let this slip, wouldn't they?
Especially when you have awkward questions like, "Hey, what happened to Rachel's family?" "Why does Scott's wife's grave say she'll rise again?" And so on. You'd think that among all the heroes and villains who have encountered Phoenix up until now, SOMEONE would have mentioned that it was a big ol' fiery bird that basically granted a young woman God like powers in an inordinately small amount of time.
Also: Why would the Phoenix be looking for a new primary host to hold all of its powers? I mean, 1) Rachel's still around, and 2) Didn't it just get hurt by the Shi'ar a few years back, causing Jean to sit down and start pulling all the pieces back together? And wasn't there a whole lot of talk about how Jean and the Phoenix were one before that?

but it isn't a secret.
I'm okay with that, Richard had a good death along with Starlord.

I don't like Hope much, but I really like this cover.
Also, Rachel needs to get the Phoenix force again. Or at least some of it.

Rachel needs to become relevant again.

Bring Jean back, kill rachel because shes just a stand-in for her. Then let Bishop kill Cable. Nate Grey comes in and is all "wtf why u do that" and kills Bishop by saturating him with psi energy causing him to explode in an explosion so intense it kills the last of the Summers clan. And now we're free of that convoluted thread of continuity.

I wouldn't mind that so much, but then my fictional agency x wouldn't happen. And I need cable and nate alive for that.

That doesn't kill off all the Summers clan...

So the Black Panther invented an X-gene suppressant I'd be interested if it would come into play at some point in this story if things get serious. I doubt he'd use it on his wife though
Then why is Hope asking Scott to explain it to her?
Escape Goat

She hasn't been around that long and it probably hasn't come up. I dunno. Everyone else knows about it.

Alex can stay. Vulcan didn't happen. Such a pointless obscure thread some idiot just had to grab on to.

Vulcan is dead....he died in a blaze so glorious it ripped a whole in the very fabric of space.
I really dont mind the summers clan, other than hope who i mind only because marvel insists on making her the center of attention when she isnt worth it.
How can anyone hate Cable?
Scott needs to exist if only to be that guy that so many people hate on
Rachel I dont mind her as she is now.
Alex....do people actually read X-Factor...is he still in that book....shit i dont know, nor care, i wonder if anyone does?
It has been a long time since I have said something like this, but you are the reason why Marvel did not bother with Havok/Lorna for such a long time. Whao dude. If nobody read X-Factor "or care", it would have been cancelled long ago. And they just got introduced (reintroduced) there an issue ago. It is about time you wait for one adventure before dissing them pointlessly...whao.
Well, looks like they are killing off Iron Man
