It's been pretty good except Amazo 2.0. They could've used a different villain. I like the concept of them hijacking the smartest tech people, but it doesn't make sense on why Batman and Superman was taken there instead of them being killed. They do not even specialize in the things most of the people that were kidnapped specialize in. Metamorpho is also out of character. He's fighting sloppy and is rushing into battle when he obviously can't win. Robin giving him pointers is laughable. Overall, it's been a good read.

What do you mean?

Superman and Batman doesn't fit in this category, so there wasn't a reason keeping them alive.

Batman and Superman are both experts in nigh everything 👆

Pretty sure Superman built like dozens of Supergirl Robots and stored them in his fortress
😛

Superman's built a bunch of robots over the decades, some have an array of his powers and a level of sentience.

Carver must be confusing Superman for the Hulk again.

With his super powers. His powers are off in the scan I posted above.

Carver once again showing that he doesn't actually read Superman comics.

Thinking about it, if mutants existed in the real world I am fairly certain given the shite even the "good guys" pull, fearing them would be the rational response.

I mean Logan alone plays judge, jury, and executioner. Most X people have a god complex, with their overly dramatic speeches and no attempt at even pretending not to abuse their power.

Then there's the fact the X-men allied with the likes of Magneto, I don't care if he reformed the whole world saw his acts of terror.

Everyone is so concerned about "canon".

I have news for you, the DEFINITIVE pre-crisis Superman story is an "imaginary story". No one ever brings up DC Comics Presents 97. Not as a final Superman story. Only the Mxy fanboys remember that one.

So it seems that Jon only beat a puppet of Cyborg Superman in Dark Crisis and Cyborg Superman is now able to project his consciousness from Phantom Zone into normal universe

Even when you're right, you're wrong.

Which was which? Was it about Logan?

Guys a straight up murderer. 🥺

The part about most X people having a god complex. Even if you take in to account the character annihilation caused to Cyclops and Beast, they're still the minority.

Nate Grey sure acts like a wanna be god sometimes.

Storm certainly talks like Thor would, all melodramatic and aggressive.

Kind of a Marvel thing to do that I guess, but a lot of characters do it. The main point though is the complete lack of restraint, they just use their power because they can. How many times has Charles Xavier mind screwed someone without any hesitation or agonizing over the ethics of doing so?

Your new job must be living hell, Pr, if you relax yourself by chatting with Todd.

^ Needless Pre-Crisis scans aside, I agree Superman's intellect is not solely dependent on his Kryptonian powers. The super-senses and superspeed make him a functional supercomputer. But he doesn't turn stupider when he is depowered. He is Jor-El's son, after all.

The lofty speechifying that many of the X-Men are currently engaging in is somewhat jarring. An undeniable byproduct of Hickman's style, whose influence continues beyond when he left the series. But you get used to it. And honestly, within their world, these mutants have finally united and discovered a paradise worth protecting. You'd probably speechify that way too.
