RONIN'S IDENTITY! (SPOILERS) X-men news too...

Firstly, too all you lame whinos who kept complaining about Silver Samurai being an New Avengers villain before he even became a New Avengers villain...Suck a big one from Brian Bendis. They don't even fight. Silver Samurai even slices up a few hand Ninjas before Iron Man takes care of the rest.

Ronin is....

Spoiler:
Maya Lopez a.k.a. Echo

Basically, she has the Task Master powers. Copies things after seeing someone do them. Ronin is a woman, and well I don't know much about her. Go question the Daredevil fans. I think I saw the name Echo pop up here on one of the Ronin threads..

Haha...as for mutants not getting their powers back...

Spoiler:
Bobby Drake is once again the Iceman!

I almost fell out of my seat when I saw the cliffhanger in the latest issue of X-men.

Now my theory is...

Spoiler:
Boddy Drake never actually "lost" his powers. He just lost the secondary mutation; if that is the case then Joe Quesada is not a big fat liar.

Oh well, I can live with that. Too bad Warren lost his powers though. (See Gen. M 4.)

I bought Generation M 1 too. So if anyone wants early spoilers for that one leave a messege and i'll get back to this thread some time tonight.

You know you love my threads.

So Lorna is powerless? I never knew that. 🙁

thats great news!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Old news. I spioled it 5 months ago! 😈

Guessing isn't the same as spoiling!

Echo rules, so i'm glad it's her. Though i really thought it was gonna be a guy...

I like Echo.

WTF is on her face? Looks like she got pimp slapped. 😕

Most people assumed Silver Samurai was going to be their next villain. "coughDracocough"...

Yeah...but after you see an ninja taking down Iron Man, what else can you expect? 😉

And after the debacle with Sauron...

There were hundreds of them, and the one that caught Iron Man napping just basically stabbed him in the back.

Hand Ninja Swords = Strong. In Wolverine's comic (Agent of Shield storyline) he tripped out because the Hand Ninjas used their swords to rip apart his Sentinel.

Anyway, Iron Man made up for it later by taking out all the Ninjas by himself.

Spidey, "Why didn't you do that before?!?"

Tony, "You guys kept bouncing around right in front of me!"

later....
Spidey, "Man, I can't help but think that if the Sentry were here this would have all been over in about 3 minutes."

Or something along those lines. 🙂

I still don't get why it's so surprising.

One of the guy's powers is hypnotism, and all the Avengers that were present at the time weren't exactly immune to it.

It wasn't bad writing and was well within the range of Sauron's powers. He's done it to the X-men numerous times.

Yes. The X-Men. When they were teenagers. Or when they only had three or four weak-ass members like Jubilee or Angel facing him.

Still, it's the AVENGERS. The Avengers shouldn't have trouble with or even waste their time with a fourth-stringer like Sauron. They should be facing foes like Ultron and Nefaria...

Glad to see they're fixing Austen's mess. May he burn in hell....

Ninja stabbed him in the back. It didn't put him out of commission. They didn't lose against the ninjas. 😉

I'm just not used to see an guy who takes attacks from Hulk, Namor and Silver Surfer shout in pain when an ninja stabs him. 🙁

Yeah...

But Iron Man's highly advanced tech should have detected someone less than a foot away from him. Not to mention his forcefields...

And the reason this fight was so ridiculous was because it was an actual FIGHT. It lasted for the entire issue. And they all came out bruised, cut and damaged one way or another. Which is why the issue was laughable. God I can't wait until Thor comes back...

Funny. I wasn't too big a Thor fan when he was alive but I've been itching for his return.

Iron Man's super advanced tech probably detect hundreds of people very close to him.

It was an extremely crowded and cramped area.

The fight didn't last the whole issue. A lot of it was talking about Silver Samurai and Jessica Drew with her traitorous behaviour.

I did think how the Ninjas took Luke over the side of the building was badass though.

My belief is that that is how a fight between Ronin, Spiderman, Spiderwoman (Well, technically she did sneak away.), Iron Man, Captain America, and hundreds Ninjas would end up on a cramped balcony of Tony's sweet Penthouse.

The Avengers weren't too beat up at the end of it. If Wolverine and Sentry were present it would have been a curb stomp.

Also, let's not forget that when all his friends weren't bouncing around in his way on a cramped pent house balcony Iron Man easily took out all the Ninjas by himself with one blast.

Doesn't matter. If you read Iron Man comics, his armour has Celestial, Skrull, Richards, etc. tech hardwired into it. His armour can even detect miniscule energy patterns in the air. If someone is about to attack him, than the armour will AUTOMATICALLY protect him.

And he has constant forcefields capable of alot of damage soak. So there's absolutely no excuse for a ninja pimping him.

Okay, okay. The entire issue minus 2 pages and three blocks...

Iron Man should have just place a forcefield around his team than blasted the ninjas to hell...

The fact that they WERE beat up stands testament of how paltry the team's track record is so far. The Hand Ninjas aren't tough. They never were. Jubilee and the friggin Generation X had no problems curbstomping them.

And seriously Wolverine by himself takes these guys by the hundreds. Even though Iron Man and Spider-Man may or may not have any experience with them doesn't excuse them from curbstomping them into the balcony floor.
