X-Men: Gold #1 - “Options!” (2014)
written by Len Wein art by Jorge Molina
Keep telling yourself that Logan….Scott could blast you from miles away. (God, I’m so glad that the stupid Schism is over. I hated this period in comics)
In the wise words of my brother-in-law the night he and our larp buddy got into a drunken argument outside the bar over who would win in a fight:
“Ok, pretend you’re coming at me with your claws.”
*makes motion of lifting glasses*
“DEAD!”
ugh YES. like, sure i think scott would hold back, but one of the quintessential things about scott that so many people forget is he’s full of contingency plans and he knows how to fight.
that second one is especially important and something so many people in and out of universe forget. He knows how big a target his power makes him, and he knows that he needs to cover for that with hand-to-hand combat abilities. And he’s gOOD AT IT.
