Marvel Confessions

Confession #2093

"I love cosplay, but I'm suddenly struck by the realization that if mutants were real, then it would be incredibly racist and insensitive, just like doing black face or dressing in culture stereotypes. I suppose it could be considered different because we cosplay specific people, so that's more like celebrity impersonations. I guess that makes Wolverine the Elvis of Mutants then..."

Confession #2043

"I haven't been able to read the comics, but I do wonder, is there some mutants out there who's mutation is the ability to cut onions without crying? Or to know when to take food out of the oven? Or to extend the battery life of small electronics (Like cellphones). Just, something really small and minor and they don't get swept up into things at all."

Confession #1686

"My problem with the "Mutants as the every-minority" metaphor and the X-Men franchise in general is that all to often we get scenes of Straight, White, Middle-Class, Christian, Cisgendred Male characters talking about how oppressed they are..."

Confession #1642

"I'm sure everyone has thought about what power they would have as a mutant. I have to say I'd be part of the Brotherhood and sadly, my power would be drowning people where they stand."

Confession #1496

"I understand why people are looking forward to certain characters getting their mutant powers back after AvX, but I'm more interested in mutants who are active despite being powerless, like Dani Moonstar and David "Prodigy" Alleyne."

Confession #1485

"I have thought long and hard about it and I have decided that I would take mutant powers over social persecution any day of the week. I know people are scared and they lash out but when I comes down to it haters gotta hate. I couldn't hear any of there bitching while I'm soaring though the air at supersonic speeds"

Confession #1308

"I hate how marvel class some mutants as omega level mutants, when Storm, who isnt classified as a omega level mutant could Destroy the earth and the popluation if she really wanted to. she could potentially cause catastrophic natural disasters that would be felt across the globe. just cause a mutant is a omega level mutant, doesnt mean they are lower."

Confession #1068

"Ever since "House Of M" Marvel has been misusing the word "genocide". Genocide involves the death of a race. Mutants are not a race - they are people of all races, each of whom has a genetic gift - and they didn't lose their lives, they lost their superpowers. Every time I hear one scream "genocide" they sound like a spoiled child over-dramatizing the fact that they've lost their neato superpower."

Confession #551

"If they ever make Rogue untouchable again for longer than one story arc, I'm out. Every single Marvel comic book title in my pull list dumped. Rogue's my favourite character and I am not going to hang around while they do to her what they did to Jean Grey's mortality or Prof X's ability to walk."

"I've always seen pietro as a villain but never wanda, I think it's because of the facial expressions"

Confession #380

"I wish people'd stop blaming Wanda for going INSANE. She was manipulated for years by various people and lost her children without ANY of the Avengers giving a damn at the time - not even the Vision. And then she gave herself up WITHOUT A FIGHT and helped Hope with the Phoenix BRING THE MUTANTS BACK. She blamed herself for being INSANE and STILL fixed what she did. Cut her some slack, her story's not black and white"

Confession #269

"Wanda Maximoff is the Murderer Of The Mutant Race! her powers once more killed, this time killing friends and almost destroying the mutant race. "

Confession #211

""No more mutants" is probably the most frightening quote in Marvel history."
