It has been a while since we had a possession story.


I think this is the last time I will have to put up with Barry Windsor-Smith's art. It really does hurt my eyes. Either that or I need new glasses.

So, did Malice the mutant ever team up with Malice the bad part of Sue Storm?

Not that I am aware of, though checking does mean I know now that Marvel has had no less than SIX different characters named Malice at one point or another.

And DC has at least one; Malice Von Vundabar, aspiring member of the Female Furies and little sister to Darkseid's general Virmin Von Vundabar.

Sinister is a bit of a troll so putting Malice on Malice so that he can Malice while Malice would be on point for him.

Turns out this is how I learn that evil Sue Storm isn't because she's being possessed by this Malice.

Barry Windsor-Smith's art is generally gorgeous and held in high regard.

Might it be the inking, or are you generally not a fan of his style?

Fun fact: Rogue was named Malicia in the french translations.
So issues like this were awkward.
Like when Colossus was fighting Le Colosse (Blob)
Good thing Diablo (Nightcrawler) never fought Diablo.

In Finnish Nightcrawler is called Nightmare. Dunno if they've met.

Though he should be used to sharing names with Doctor Strange characters.

Storm's being really slow on the uptake here, given how often the X-Men get possessed, mind-controlled or tricked by illusions.
She just instantly assumes Dazzler's gone mad and flipped.


... almost certainly said this before, and will almost certainly say it again, but the notion that everyone's got a little dark in them is just not quite the blisteringly hot take Claremont seems to think it is.

Also, 'Ro has embraced her darker impulses more than Logan? Claremont knows who the guy is, right?

Now, in fairness, how many times has Wolverine tried stabbing his fellow X-Men?
Oh, right.
Well, how many times has he successfully done it?
Like, twice.
And it's not like they were anyone who mattered. Much.


Comparatively, because not having to go on a berserk rampage is practically Wolverine's default state, Storm's darker impulses are more shocking and her heroically resisting them is that more impressive. Maybe.
... though from the looks of it, her dark impulses are "switch to all leather", "get a mohawk" and "stab Callisto". (And probably also hanging out with Yukio.)
If making Kitty cry is the worst her dark impulses can unleash, no wonder Malice can't get a foothold.
