Respect the ASTONISHING X-MEN!

This thread, as opposed to the general X-Men thread, is solely devoted to Joss Whedon's Astonishing X-Men. The team currently consists of Cyclops, Emma Frost, Shadowcat, Colossus, Wolverine and Beast, though the student Hisako/ "Armour" is at least temporarily working with the team on the Breakworld, so there's a few of her feats here too. I'll try to keep the feats in order of characters but please remember new issues are coming out monthly so I'll be adding those to the end.
For any of y'all not reading this title, PICK IT UP. Whedon is a f**king genius!

Well, so, to the point. The Astonishing X-Men @ Wikipedia:

The first 3 arcs are available in TPB format:

And now for the respect!

First up is Colossus, for some reason, like his having a load of feats in the series 😉:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colossus_%28comics%29

Colossus is incredibly strong, and shows as much when he beats the crap out of Ord, an alien warrior guy who earlier defeated the entire team of X-Men:

A nice display of the famous Colossus/ Wolverine Fastball Special maneuveure, which launches Wolverine up to a fleeing space ship:

Colossus surfing on the roof of the X-Men's Blackbird: 😎

Colossus beating the crap out of an escaped creation of the Mole Man (though it was never confirmed to be one):

Colossus shows a nice resilience feat, standing his ground while being shot at by the now-sentient Danger Room:

Piotr manages to pull "Danger" (the form inhabited by the sentient Danger Room) through the floor:

Colossus knocks Sebastien Shaw about:

Colossus is prophecised to destroy an entire world, which is a culture entirely based around warfare... AND he has a hilariously inappropiate sense of humour!

So, for now, that's all for Colossus.
Next up, we have a few nice Cyclops feats, thought they are sadly limited...

Cyclops @ Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scott_Summers

Scott blasts Wolverine out of his bedroom... 😎

Cyc pwns some punk n00bs 😛 :

Cyclops absolutely annihalates a Sentinel under the control of Danger:

Beast: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hank_McCoy

Hank shows some great stealth and agility to penetrate Benetech Labs:

Beast tussles with Logan:

Hank was the first X-Man to actually harm Danger:

And now, Kitty Pryde/ Shadowcat: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shadowcat

Kitty shows stealth in rescuing hostages from under the noses of several armed gunmen and Ord:

Kitty rescues civilians during the Mole Man monster's rampage:

Aha, finally got this scan working. Kitty manages to phase the entire team into intagibility to survive a blast from the super-Sentinel that destroyed Genosha:

The penultimate member is Wolverine. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wolverine_%28comics%29

Like ya didn't know who Logan was. 😉

Luckily for y'all, Logan has far more limited input in Astonishing, which fills me with joy! 😄

Logan butchers some enemies:

Logan takes down Ord... kinda. This is following the scan of the Fastball Special with Colossus:

Wolvie tackles the Mole Man monster thingy:

Finally, Emma Frost:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emma_Frost

Psychically controls Beast and Wolverine to stop their fight:

Emma mindrapes some Benetech guards:

When her mind was ****ed over by Cassandra Nova, Emma managed to completely mind rape Scott, putting him in a coma and depowering him:

Also, she (using some kind of psychic image of Cassandra Nova) gave Wolverine the mind of a small girl and Beast become a real beast, as it were, devolving into little more than an animal:

Well, that's all for now, though the continuation of Whedon's final arc, Unstoppable, which will ultimately conclude in Giant Size Astonishing X-Men #1, will surely show MANY more feats. Please take the time to comment. 😄 More feats will come as they become available, probably when Astonishing #21 reaches England (at last)!

theres also a good feet for Kitty in the first arc where she phased through that alien metal for a long time.

Got it. 😉

Kitty phases through a loooot of unknown metal:

Kitty and Piotr survive a loooong fall from the SWORD spacecraft:

Shadowcat and Colossus VS a load of Breakworld-ers... or something... 😕

And an Emma Frost feat. Emma gives Beast, Cyc and Commander Brand, or whatever, an illusion while hurtling towards their probable deaths:
