Just realized that the chick who plays Catwoman in this is none other than Kimberly Page.

I found this a couple hours ago. Some dude at the University of Virginia was doing a project on Superman a few years ago and scanned Action Comics #1 so if anyone is interested in reading it.

Random question.

Which X-Men characters are Omega level, or "class 5" mutants?


Curious

Oh... those guys...

There's an official list, but off the top of my head:

Iceman
Jean Grey/Phoenix
Xavier
Magneto (I think)

Magneto is class 4.

From Wiki:

Mutants that have been confirmed as Omega-level include Jean Grey,[6] Vulcan,[7] Rachel Summers,[8] Iceman,[9] Legion,[10] Elixir,[11] and Franklin Richards.[12] Sentinels identify Storm as a possible Omega-level mutant.[13]

I don't understand how Magneto isn't Omega compared to some of those who are

It has more to do with psychology and stamina than simply having the power. Erik can shift the planet on it's axis, but that would tax him. Iceman can fuck us all over and initiate a permanent ice age, but he hasn't mental compacity.

I have no idea who Vulcan, Legion and Elixir are.

Isn't Elixer the dude who heals people?

Judging by his name you're probably right.

Legion is Xavier's son and Vulcan is the third Summers brother.

Was just thinking about the differences between certain superheroes, and even though I absolutely love X-Men and The Avengers (and the members solo), I way prefer street level heroes.
What I mean by that is X-Men, Avengers, FF, JLA and a lot of other heroes deal with such huge global issues, and even stuff from space.

Then you have Batman, Spidey, Daredevil, Punisher and Moon Knight (and now TMNT, my new comic addiction) who stick to their cities and fight the mob and moderate threats. Not like Doc Ock and Venom are really "normal", but in the world of comics they're actually reasonable and local.

I like the ones who usually work on that bigger scope, but I think I only really "love" X-Men and Avengers, and The Thing, from that pool.


It's late and I'm quite bored.

He can also do the opposite.

Also, I too have been reading the mirage TMNT comics. I had no idea that the first movie was based almost entirely on the comic. The only thing they had from the cartoon was a touch more humor in the turtles' personalities.

Yea, and April as a reporter. But the way she factors into the story is pretty much exactly the same.
They just obviously couldn't have her as Baxter's assistant without Baxter.
Having her as a reporter helps the story be told too.

And the Turtles having different colored bandanas, but honestly that should have always been the case anyways. Unless their weapon is visible, I sometimes have trouble telling them apart. That can get distracting.


How far along are you in the mirage comics, Figgy?

I finished it.

The first volume or all volumes? The first volume is basically from like 85-93, and then after that they did more but I don't think they're as good.

I'm in the middle of the first volume. Impressed by how badass Casey Jones is, and the accuracy of his relationship with the Turtles in the first film. Right down to him rescuing them in the antique shop and hiding out with them on the farm. Especially Raph.
Those two are great.
I can't wait to get to City At War and stuff. I'm getting through it pretty slow because I'm actually tracking down the printed books.

Oh wait, I still have the last volume to read. But yeah, would be hard to top the first volume. City at War was immense.

Didn't bother with the image volume because it is stupid.

I have no interest in that either. All in all I feel that the mirage comic is a severely underrated property.
Probably because of how huge the phenomenon got in the early 90s, and people were overexposed, and when they think of Turtles they probably think children's fad, or nostalgic cartoon, and not dark and engaging comic series for mature readers.

But the integrity of that comic seems to have always been upheld, no matter how popular the franchise was getting around it.
I wish it got a little bit more cred. It's hard to find comic stores that even have the books, and there aren't any trade paperbacks on shelves at the moment.

So, I'm going to start reading some comics again (marvel). What is currently going on in some of the main books that's actually worth reading. X-Men, Steve Rogers, Iron Man, Deadpool fan.
