starwolf_oakley: Charlie Crews vs. Faucet (Default)

The first page from AVENGERS ACADEMY #30 after the cut. Some of the Avengers Academy kids talk amongst themselves about the Utopia kids dropped off while the Avengers and the X-Men try to "deal" with the Phoenix Force. It seems to be a simple "Stay there until the grownups save the world" situation, but things are complicated.

Warning: Race card playing.





X-23 and Finesse talk it out for a bit.



The Utopia kids want to go get chicken and waffles. The Academy kids don't think this is a good idea. And it seems neither class learned much about solving tense situations without extreme violence.

During this, Sebastian Shaw is fighting his way through the teachers. Shaw wants to get to the Utopia students, presumably to kill them in order to punish Emma Frost for mindwiping him. Only his plan might not be murder.

Shaw is (variably) vulnerable to other indirect attacks. Selene was seen as being the most dangerous opponent within the Club because her matter animation powers would allow her to seal him within, say, solid rock, if he can't move he can't use his amplified strength.

I remember that. Her attacks were passive aggressive, and while he could fight back, it'd be a losing battle because he wouldn't be taking in enough energy.

Ah, I miss the days when writers thought tactically.

...and I hate how everyone always punches the guy who can absorb kinetic energy.

Indeed and in turn, IIRC, Emma specifically recruited Firestar into her Academy because her flight, and ranged microwave powers made her an ideal person to deal with Selene, who wasn't really best suited to deal with energy attacks.

Yeah, Gage was good with that. But prior, during the arc when he was mindwiped, they hit him stupidly.
