Re: [scifinoir2] Re: Xmen question
Right, I have that ish with Graviton. He's truly one of the most powerful beings in the MU. Nefaria's powerful too. Is he still active? Ultron is a trip, always coming back. I think he's coming back again right now in Mighty Avengers. Henry Pym created the Infinite Avengers Mansion, a complex built in a pocket universe that effectively allows it to stretch into infinity, and provide dimensional transit points to anywhere on Earth. He integrated the android Jocasta into the system; she can function as guide by moving her consciousness into one of her millions of body's. Last ish, one of them evidenced that trademark Ultron look. Uh-oh! My fav Ultron scene was years ago when the Avengers and FF were fighting him, and he had the Human Torch by the throat. Captain America was nearby and told the Torch to go Nova, which he didn't want to do with Cap near. He did it, and there's a really cool panel showing the entire area turn into a ball of fire, and Cap, this one small figure, deflecting the fire around him with his shield. Reminds me of the scene in Dragonslayer when the dude hides behind the shield when the dragon blasts him. The Torch couldn't dent Ultran's adamantium body, but the heat he generated broke some of his internal circuitry. - Original Message - From: B Smith daikaij...@yahoo.com To: scifinoir2@yahoogroups.com Sent: Wednesday, February 3, 2010 11:48:09 PM GMT -05:00 US/Canada Eastern Subject: [scifinoir2] Re: Xmen question Absorbing too much mass once turned Graviton into a living black hole...but he got better.

Slorenia! Thanks for the memory jog, B! Though I loved Annihilation, I didn't much like Ultron in that. Even at his scheming best, he was still annoying to me.

I remember that! Heroes Reborn and Heroes Return was good stuff. There was a young girl who became Captain America's sidekick in that alternate reality. If I remember correctly, that alternate Earth was brought into our reality and put into an orbit the same as Earth's, but on the opposite side of the Sun, like the old Counter-Earth?
