Cyclops, Beast, and Colossus versus Wolverine, Storm, and Gambit

Plus, he's not going to miss.

That's right....because Cyclops has never missed before 🙄

Can we get an official ruling on whether Gambit can charge Colossus?

'Cause otherwise, the only defense Storm's team would have would be to toss him around with the winds.

No he cannot. Its organic material. Gambit cannot charge organic materials

He can't charge flesh (he can at full-power though). He's charged tree trunks and the like before, though. Which is organic.

So when did that happen? 😕

I honestly don't know the exact period it happened, but I know it's been this way for some time now. I guess he just somehow became psionically attuned to it. It responds to his commands. Haven't you noticed that he doesn't even need to touch his visor anymore to blast?

And to answer the Colossus thing: While being organic steel, isn't it still technically flesh? At least, it's flesh in terms of that it's Colossus's flesh. Know what I mean?

I agree. Cyclops not missing is like Logan never had a healing factor.

Can you show me more than...oh, I dunno...three scans of Cyke missing when he's REALLY trying to hit target?

Edit: Why am I even debating this? The match starts, Cyke shoots Storm. The end.

Unless Storm suddenly gained the Flash's powers, she's boned. Live with it.

He can flip a dime and shoot out the centre, knock all the balls on a pool table into the pockets with a single blast, disarm a roomful of people with a single blast, destroy a roomful of fastmoving vehicles with a single blast, tag a moving Northstar.. but yeah... he's going to miss now. 😐

But, Xmarks! Don't you know? It's Storm! 😱

She might...ya know...sidestep, or something. It's pretty much un-counterable. Cyke REALLY doesn't stand a chance unfortunately. 😬

She has dodged it before from a mind-controlled Cyclops or from a Cyclops who didn't really want to win. Even with the mind-controlled part factoring in, it's still bullshit.

I doubt Gambit could charge it. He has sent a charge through someone's flesh before but pretty consistantly has trouble actually charging living, human flesh. Colossus's steel would probably be considered flesh by any writer, so yeah I do know what you mean.

However, it's a misconception that he can't charge anything organic. He's done it before guys. I don't feel like digging up a bunch of scans but here's one example involving him charging a tree branch.

Nope. He's charged trees and other organic material before. His power appears to be nulled on just living, human flesh regardless of what the narrative caption that appears everytime he uses his powers says.

That said, I don't think he could actually beat Colossus though. He might be able to escape....which would constitute a loss anyway....so yeah.

then it depends on what kind of criteria colossus' skin falls under...

Yep. It's basically up to the writer.

The limitation on Gambit's power is probably something built into his character design to specifically avoid him blowing up people or other sentient living things. So I don't think he can charge Colossus.

i can agree with that...

Probably so.

It's still annoying when the caption says he can charge only inorganic material despite him charging organic material all the time. It should just say "living, organic flesh". "Living" would not be redundant here because he has charged zombies before, so he can charge organic flesh.

DON'T BELIEVE THE LIES!!!

They all kill gambit

I win 😄
