I mean, they could still publish Conan stuff in basically the whole European market and Canada. It's Public Domain basically everywhere that isn't the US.

J.H. Posted January 20, 2018 Share Posted January 20, 2018 Is there anything duller than Peter and Kitty getting married in June? I've never been for them getting back together and felt it was always a step backward for Kitty in terms of character (especially since I always saw her and Rahchel as soulmates) James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
odessasteps Posted January 20, 2018 Author Share Posted January 20, 2018 Given that Piotr was long depicted as an atheist, will he convert for Kitty? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always enjoyed Illyana and Kitty's dynamic, and don't think enough has been done with it in recent times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ace Posted January 20, 2018 Share Posted January 20, 2018 Because she is not Illyana Rasputin. She's the Darkchylde with none of Illyana's soul. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J.H. Posted January 21, 2018 Share Posted January 21, 2018 Kitty's most interesting relationships are always with other female characters. Her Mentor/Student relationship with Ororo, her best friend relationship with Illyana and the potentially more than just friends relationship with Rachel. She really is the best female character that Marvel has used to explore how women interact with each other in different power dynamics.

odessasteps Posted January 21, 2018 Author Share Posted January 21, 2018 Will real Logan have returned by then to give her away? Will Lockheed carry the ring? will Pete Wisdom get an invitation? who will be Piotr’s best man? Kurt? - other jokes redacted in case they would be viewed religiously insensitive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J.H. Posted January 21, 2018 Share Posted January 21, 2018 Oh yeah, especially with Emma! Given that Kitty's first experience with Emma was the MA trying to recruit by using Hellfire Club goons and then all the shit that happened between them during the early issues of New Mutants is it any wonder she never trusts her?

The Man Known as Dan Posted January 21, 2018 Share Posted January 21, 2018 I feel like I have a questionable opinion calling Kitty clearly the best character among the X-Men, but man, she is clearly the best character in the X-Men. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Man Known as Dan Posted January 21, 2018 Share Posted January 21, 2018 I am legitimately trying to come up with another character that could be in the ball park, but I just don't see an argument for Jean Grey, Storm, Prof X, Cyclops, or basically anyone else. I mean, do we count Magneto? Cause he's probably up there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian Fowler Posted January 21, 2018 Share Posted January 21, 2018 Magneto is my favorite, but even now I don't really count him as an X-Man instead of a villain. Kurt is a really fascinating bundle of character but it's not as well explored territory as Kitty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.H. Posted January 21, 2018 Share Posted January 21, 2018 She is a character we've literally watched grow-up in front of our eyes and you don't get to do that too often with genre characters like that. When I think of favorite X-Men from the Claremont era its usually Kitty, Storm and Nightcrawler. Hell Storm used to be such a well written character that they used to put through these grand stories where not only would she grow as a character but there were moments where she demonstrated that growth and how it made her so fascinating to read (I mean think how she grew from the Brood War to Fall of The Mutants, all the shit that happened to her). God used to be so great when was long stretches of character growth for everyone while a looming threat would start to build in the background. I miss that kind of storytelling James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
odessasteps Posted January 21, 2018 Author Share Posted January 21, 2018 Of the babyfaces, I would prob put Storm At the top, partially due to her use outside of the X books. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both she and Nightcrawler are soulless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
