He thanked me for my input.
Clearer?
No I mean the explanation and how that happened in the comic, not what your reply and his reply meant. Geez I'm not wetodded...teehee
Okay, so I'm completely blanking out on this.
Is anyone reading the current, post-Armageddon Authority? Can anyone tell me what happened to Jenny Quantum? I just cannot remember. It was mentioned in the first issue, the same time we were told that Hassan flipped out from feeling the pain of the entire earth at the time of the disaster, but I just can't remember what happened to Jenny Q. Something to do with keeping the caged baby universe in the Carrier from killing everyone when it crashed? That makes sense but I don't remember if that's what it is.

Who exactly decided that Stark would no longer head SHIELD? Was it the US gov't? And if so, how? I was always under the impression that SHIELD was above any one nation (possibly answering to the United Nations).

I think she teleported it somewhere else to keep it from destroying the universe but she hasn't been heard from since

Yeah, I was guessing something like that.
It might imply that she's still alive- otherwise the singularity would open up on someone else and create a new Jenny- or would it? If she didn't make it to the end of the century do we get a new Jenny?
Man, Century Babies are confusing .

Can Thanos or Odin beat a cosmic cube user?
the cube is still vulnerable to thievery most of the time, they can also be tampered with like capt. mar-vell did.
and the cubes can refuse to work for the wielder since the cubes are a pupa for cosmic beings, and they can be coerced by someone like...adam warlock or someone else that can reason with them.
I think the issue with wolverine is....he has always been a dark character....and his attitude has always been the same...in this day and age....comic charaters are becoming darker...the tone of comics has become darker...it has just become what mkes wolverine so popular...its his time to shine...its his era to be the standard that is to be set..he can be hurt..put down...but he will always get back up..to the everyday man and woman...he is the hero of today..i.m.o

Well didn't they say that Jenny Quantum was the last one?
Also, regarding Wolverine, I've seen promos for that new cartoon, I mean it looks decent, but I'm pissed off that Wolverine gets his name in the title - he's not the best or the most important X-man

I read an interesting article once, "The Psychology of the Superhero," something along those lines by some PHD or another.
His point (a fairly obvious one) was that people- particularly younger, comic book reading people, your stereotypical "nerd," if you want- have a tendency to identify with the X-Men out of feelings of alienation and "other"ness. The X-Men, too, are ostracized outcasts, but they belong to a fabulous band of sexy adventurers with powers and abilities far beyond those of a "normal" person.
What kind of individual who feels alienated wouldn't want to identify with that? It's the same thing as the Spiderman mythos, and really, the whole idea of the superhero secret identity- "I may not look like much to you, and so you make fun of me, but if you knew the real me, you'd be awestruck." So people identify with the X-Men because it's the idealized group of friends and family, despite all their dysfunction.
Wolverine is popular, psychologically, because he represents an idealized protector within that familial structure: mentoring to the young initiates (Kitty Pride, Jubilee, you could on forever), but also "cool"- he smokes, drinks, he rides a motorcycle, he has wonderful collequalisms for everything. And he won't hesitate to use everything within his power to protect you.
So, basically, the reason so many younger comic readers find him to be such a great character is because they not only want someone like him in their life- a cool, powerful protector- but they also want to be someone like him.
It's the same reason why Captain Marvel sold so much better than Superman did back in the Golden Age. Captain Marvel was the idealized adult, but at heart he was just a person like yourself (if you happened to be a young comic book reader).
Of course, if you happen to be an awesome and popular individual, you're much more likely to enjoy Scott Pilgrim to Logan.
