'New Mutants Pt. II' From X-Men #41
TheDrunkNinja
Seriously, if the mutant registration wasn't run by friggin nazis, there'd be no reason not to support it.

I never realized what a rough time Val Kilmer had growing up.

Thus ends the short career of the Premature Ejaculator.

If he vaporizes every organic things around him, how can he have timber, beer, Mac food and such things? O_o?

this makes me seriously miss comics.
Megalore
It's especially upsetting because the poster on his wall says "be different" and has Logan on it on the 1st page. Ouch.
solarstrife0
Good eye...missed that.
grafton24
Logan didn't kill him because of his dangerous mutant powers. He killed him because he was a Korn fan.
Pikka
The я on the poster is the wrong way around!?

You should send them to me. I haven't read any of them but have a very intense desire to start!!
Uberpastamancer
What is he, Rapture Man?
RedXdeR
I laughed too hard
SentencesThatStartWithBitch
He was killed by wolverine before he could become anything.
ChaosLierLen637
Holy crap, imagine if Apocalypse had gotten a hold of this kid.
wearywanderer
Why didn't Professor X train him or why didn't Magneto seek him out for his battle with mankind?
sandibebop
In Avengers Arena there's a girl with a similar power that is controlled with a suit, but its in a different part of the multiverse.
JohnnyGossamer
Point is supposed to be you can't train him, it just happens, and it would kill Magneto's group as much as anyone else.
b00h00
It's eventually revealed that Nick Fury sent Wolverine to deal with this situation. Xavier and Magneto might not have known.
SparkTangent
I've read this twice, and I've often wondered if this wasn't the first time Logan has had to do something like this.
AynCantStopThinkingAboutYew
Considering there have been several cures, he never had to do this.
skynes
Depends on which continuity you're in. Not every X-Men storyline had a cure.
chaseNC
He's been given a similar job before but he wasn't able to complete it. Got his ass handed to him before he could.

zerosleeper
you'd be surprised... ~ HS teacher
ReydanDeathrain
Read deeper. All the organic material is destroyed.. Including the bananas. No milk, no cereal. etc
HeadmasterFelix
Reading deeper makes this more confusing. Organic material is anything that is, was, or came from a living thing. The house should be gone.
Jalase
Organic material is anything that contains carbon...
HeadmasterFelix
That's the definition of an organic compound. The definition of organic matter/material is as I stated.
Jalase
Yes, but would a pseudo-science pseudo-magic force really pay attention to material vs compound?
sildraug
But not his clothes or bedding, conveniently. Or any of the wooden materials.

Wait but if it just disintegrates, why are the grass and trees still there, just dead?

LS930
Oh, and I heard about it from a guy in a cave the next morning
oneoldman
Hahahah, this needs more attention. That was perfect.
Textuality
They need to stop calling Wolverine's regeneration a "healing factor". They've written him to basically be invincible and unkillable.
IAmDrBanner
No. His is just a healing factor. He can and has been defeated multiple times. Died in a few universes. Deadpool is unkillable, wolv is not
MissThickThickityThickFaceFromThicktownThickania
What about complete decapitation?
PunPunlegreat
if you get through the adamantium then yes it would kill him atleast until some magic mutant/scientist fixed him
MissThickThickityThickFaceFromThicktownThickania
Well, if you're lucky you could strike between vertebrae and hit no adamantium... technically... I think.
PunPunlegreat
maybe I'm not a doctor so I don't know I would just take the Deadpool route and stab him with a sword that negates healing factors
CousinEddy
But that's his shtick
goodguyC
More like his: http://fc09.deviantart.net/fs70/f/2011/119/5/e/wolverine_snikt_by_bouncied-d3f6bri.png
PunPunlegreat
deadpool kills him, and sabertooth with a carbonadium sword
Killertortilla
Wolverine is actually quite a weak mutant compared to most.
goodguyC
And in the movies he never ages...like they should've gotten Keanu Reeves instead of Hugh Jackman, cause Wolverine is practically a vampire.
asmokki
wolverines mutation isnt healing factor or regeneration... its survival.. plain and simple
Textuality
Well, that's the thing. It's changed over time, to make him more and more indestructible. At first he just "healed fairly quickly".
Theertzuinianer
Except he's dead.
chaseNC
Like OMG ded.
Theertzuinianer
Like so dead.
Siddhartha
He's the face of Marvel, you gotta protect your money-maker
hetnkik
Except they just killed him off a few months ago. http://www.comicvine.com/articles/analyzing-the-death-of-wolverine/1100-150103/ For now.
GhoughpteighbteauChips
The only person in comics who stays dead is Uncle Ben.
IDevelopGamesAndShitButMainlyGames
I think they killed him off because of their rivalry with Fox.
MelfsAcidArrow
Yup!
VulcanP90
He can drown I think. As long as you keep him submerged, that is.
idislikecomingupwithuniqueusernames
Apparently they did just that recently. Except they drowned him in adamantium. Crappy way to go :(
solarstrife0
People seem to be missing the "keep him submerged" bit. It WILL kill him, it is how he died recently, and also how Logan killed his son. +1
Textuality
They've shown him recover from drowning. That wouldn't kill him. :)
solarstrife0
It will if he's down long enough. Logan kills his son by drowning him.
warjacob
Actually,in one of the latest X-Men movies he was submerged for quite a long time, and couldnt move because of rebar in his bones. he lived
solarstrife0
Total brain death being the key. If even a tiny portion of his brain survives, he'll regenerate. Logan kills his son via drowning, it works.
warjacob
oh man. why did he kill his son?
solarstrife0
Daken is...*kindof* a dick. He also has some serious abandonment issues, etc. Joins the Omega Clan, goes against the X-Force. Fights (1)
solarstrife0
Wolverine, dies, gets resurrected...all that good comic book stuff. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daken#Fictional_character_biography (2)
Rogansan
Not unremovable though, he's popular so he sticks around but overall he's not that hard to deal with. Drop him down a crevasse, problem over
Textuality
I preferred him back before he became ridiculously popular. When he just "healed fast". Mystique planned to kill him by slitting his throat.
Rogansan
I guess I don't mind it, he's an interesting character even without all the powerups over the years. Granted I'm more of a Spiderman guy.
Ireallydonthaveanyideawhattonamemyself
Complains about wolverine being ridiculous. Likes spiderman. Lol
Textuality
They just went way, way overboard with adding onto his background and powers. It was overkill, imo.
Rogansan
Don't get me wrong I agree, I kinda wish they did more with how being destroyed on a regular basis would effect your mental state.
Lionskull
to be fair, isn't he supposed to be reeeeeeally old?

Fun fact: He has actually killed his own biological children before. (OK maybe not fun but still a fact)

That's an entirely different story arc than this though

Beer was poison.

if the kid destroyed organic matter, how did he have mcdonalds? how was the beer unaffected? lol

Organic matter or McDonalds, pick one.

ha. but still

I mean, he vaporized bananas earlier
Sasarious
The x-men don't really have issues with killing as long as its seen as a threat. Hell deadpool quit them due to that.
westerngermany
x-factor* has no problem with killing people. Hell, kill one kid, or lose a hundreds of friends, which would you prefer? I would.
fettuccine
sooooo deadpool is in a higher moral step stool than them!:?
Sasarious
Apparently.
solarstrife0
Yes...basically. He draws a hard line at kids, at a minimum. See Uncanny X-Force. He is very irate over killing a child *Apocalypse*.

He would've killed everyone around him, then starved to death due to organic matter around him vaporizing. So Wolverine takes him out.
MidnightIsNotADevil
The kid is saying how he never should have been born, and Wolverine agrees. Then the little *shink* is his claws coming out. he leaves alone
MidnightIsNotADevil
And the kid tells him to just do it because he knows it's coming
twoplustwoisfour
The spllck is him opening his beer actually
MidnightIsNotADevil
Oh oops
tormikoray
Probably not the first time. He is perfect for eliminating problematic new mutants that would cause the government to release Sentinels.
Lionskull
i find it that he is the better of the options, since Prof X coulda just zapped him with cerebro.
chaseNC
I like how in AvsX he was supposed to do the same thing if Hope got out of control, but everytime he tries she torches his ass.
themehgin
Hopes fine. Spider Man is teaching her.

That girl has been trained more than any super hero in the history of comics. Spider Man, Cyclops, Wolverine, Iron Fist, Cable etc.

tormikoray
oh no doubt, Just stating how he is used as a weapon, Just like how the government wanted to use him.
Gonnaderpya
This is one of those times where there's nothing you can really do other than what must be done. He's a character who's been hardened 1
Gonnaderpya
by years upon years of war and agony that he's best suited for the job, and even he knows it. It's a fucked up lot he's been dealt.
AynCantStopThinkingAboutYew
But the whole concept of finding a cure in the comic is fought adamantly by the characters.
Spiderramz
Yeah but if anyone found out a mutant did this, the sentinels would kill them all.
Gonnaderpya
Yeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaah remember the shitty movie where Storm goes off on a tangent and tells rogue U FINE THE WAY U IZ GURL bitch sex is good
JohnnyGossamer
And yet every time the idea of a "cure" for mutantism is brought up in X-Men comics, it's treated with outrage.
ImmaCatImmaSexyCat
They keep comparing them to Jews, Poles and blacks, but none of those people had a literal death field. There's a real need for regulation.
BurlRavenscroft
"There's nothing wrong with us!" - Storm "Really? How about a handshake or get off my tits?" - Rogue in X3 if that movie weren't dumb.
TastyMusic
Overtime theres a "cure", someone tries to weaponize it.
wabitgirl
Yes and now. They make the cure a necessity and they use it as punishment, every time.
lurkmoarjono
mfw tumblr is worse than magneto
ArcherK
Because X-men were a gay metafore. You know, with shock treatments and "pray away the gay" groups.
GnRtattoo
They dont want to cure the mutants, they want to experiment on them. And nobody can get near this kid to cure him anyway
yesiamaphysicist
The cure doesn't cause outrage. The cure being forced on mutants is what causes the outrage.
MagentaHawk
I'm all good for that and for it being forced on some. I don't feel comfortable if a citizen has access to powers that can decimate a city.
feeltheice
But the government can have power to destroy the earth...
MagentaHawk
Government is supposed to have power. Government run by the people for the people. Need power to protect.
feeltheice
But the people cant protect themselves?
MagentaHawk
To a point. Right to bear arms is good. Being able to destroy a city or just a police force isn't protection. Too much power for one citizen
killerqueen
Especially Wolverine, he calls some people weak for wanting the cure, and attacks Beast when he thinks he's going to use it.
WhereTheWildGooseGoes
Mutants are allegorical to oppressed groups. In the 60s, they were blacks. From the 90s onward, gays. A "cure" for them is akin to(1/2)-->
WhereTheWildGooseGoes
-->a cure for being gay, hence the outrage.
JohnnyGossamer
Um, I know this, I wrote like a dozen comments about it in this thread yesterday. This is why it's a shitty allegory.
WhereTheWildGooseGoes
Fair enough, fair enough.
ReallyGoodBee
It's because they're not given a choice. It's practically forced on them and they're treated like horrible monsters for not taking it.
AynCantStopThinkingAboutYew
In recent years they've just opposed the unlawful mandate of a "cure"
tomyironmane
If you like your mutation, you can KEEP your mutation!
tomyironmane
Because that was true of Obamacare... it's the fact that it might get (literally) rammed down someone's throat that spurs the opposition.
AynCantStopThinkingAboutYew
Forcing me to pay a private company for health insurance is kind of shitty. I'd rather have full on socialized healthcare.
tomyironmane
It might be a better situation healthcare wise, but it's the fact that it's still rammed down your throat that most folks object to.
imsorrydaveimafraidicantdothat
Because its the next stage of human evolution, and just because its a difficult change doesn't make it a change not worth having.
ImmaCatImmaSexyCat
Well there are a few mutants with the power to change reality. Pretty sure that can be dangerous for the whole planet.
LitchLitch
that's not the way evolution works, they might become a new species (if they stop being able to breed with humanity) but not a "next stage"
imsorrydaveimafraidicantdothat
Adamantium also doesn't exist. It's not meant to be taken as evolution as we consider it.
JohnnyGossamer
But the whole "mutants are a new species" thing is total bullshit. On that definition people with Huntington's Disease are a new species.
LitchLitch
You're right but for the wrong reason, they are not a new species because they can still breed with human beings.
cerastes
Eh, species within a genus can usually interbreed no problem. We did it with Neanderthals.
LitchLitch
It is still the traditional definition (even though it often doesn't work with things like bacteria).
[deleted]
[deleted]
JohnnyGossamer
Look it up. Huntington's is a HEREDITARY GENETIC MUTATION that guarantees a horrible early death.
imsorrydaveimafraidicantdothat
I don't even know what you're trying to argue. Does Wolverine have Huntington's? Sure, why not.
JohnnyGossamer
Maybe mutants could try NOT telling people they want to accept them they're a different species all the time? Even Xavier is guilty of this.
Melanisia
Yeah, they are still human, they are just Human+. Still you don't "cure" someone of what is in their DNA.
imsorrydaveimafraidicantdothat
Except these mutants have the X-Gene, which I imagine leads to something different than Huntington's.
JohnnyGossamer
What X-Gene leads to is random/inconsistent. Sometimes, wings! Sometimes, everyone near you dies! (Good luck propagating the "new species!")
feeltheice
Well now that mutation of death around you won't propagate no worries!
revcleo
There's also the different types of mutants, not everyone wants a cure, and some people would just wanna manage the symptoms.
Beepity
Actual for-real no-kidding optional cure? Yeah that's good. Forcing every mutant to be "cured" or registered-for-totally-not-future-use? No.
ImLukeSkywalkerImHereToRescueYou
Kind of like X-Men 3, oh no, I better kill Jean Grey to stop this, if only there were some sort of...cure...for mutants...
Melanisia
It's kinda hard to cure something that's in the DNA.
cheddarhat
The process is called gene splicing, and in sci fi (not dissimilar from comics) is used to cure things in the DNA.
ReallyGoodBee
The cure was only temporary, and Pheonix Jean is one of the most powerful mutants. She's less a person and more a force of nature.
Carados1
To be fair, that is near universally regarded as an AWFUL movie.
ImmaCatImmaSexyCat
I thought it was okay. Worse than the first two, but had its moments.
LesbianTrappedInManBody
...I don't know whats dumber I never realised this or the director never thoight of it
ImLukeSkywalkerImHereToRescueYou
They even use the "cure" on Magneto later on, there were vials of it strewn literally everywhere around them, haha.
ReaperNo1
Too late for a cure, after killing an entire town it will spark all out war, even if it never happened again. Wolverine literally says it.
JohnnyGossamer
I know they can't cure this specific kid. I am just pointing out for a lot of mutants being a mutant sucks.
JohnnyGossamer
I'm not talking about this guy's specific case, a cure for mutants in general.
shank
Part of the problem is who decides who gets it? Will be people be forced to be cured? And it could be weaponized against the X-Men.
relevenceisinthemindofthebeholder
if i killed everyone i touched like rougue i would want a cure. if i could control lightning i wouldnt want a cure. depends on the mutation.
Christx30
If I had Meg Griffin's fingernails power from that one Family Guy episode, I'd love that power.
JohnnyGossamer
Of course. But because mutants are a metaphorical stand-in for minority groups, the idea of any mutant wanting to be cured (1/)
JohnnyGossamer
screws up the "Everybody should be accepted for who they are" message, even though it would be reasonable for some mutants to want (2/3)
JohnnyGossamer
The X-Men are the lucky few who got cool/useful mutations. For many/most mutation probably ruins their lives.
SpeakInMemes
"I have a mutation and all I got was this lousy tumor!"
JohnnyGossamer
Problem is Marvel set mutants up as the stand-in to make points about minorities and socially disadvantages groups.
IAmDrBanner
Not really? There is a whole sewer full of morlocks who have crippling or horrible mutations and they are part of a lot of plots.
ayegill
The central issue is that mutants as a metaphor for minorities doesn't really work, because jews can't shoot laser beams from their eyes
JohnnyGossamer
So if you have a "cure" for being a mutant Tumblr types would say it's "problematic."
YouWillNotLikeThis
So if minorities makes to much trouble just kill them?
MmeStraka
Once read a really interesting breakdown on this from someone who really knew X-Men. Something about how though Xavier tries to make it look
killerqueen
I have comics where Xavier pretty much imprisoned sentient Shi'ar tech so he could train the x-men. It was the danger room. She tries to 1/2
killerqueen
kill the x-men and "father" (Xavier), and the x-men pretty much tell him to go fuck himself and walk away.
MmeStraka
to live and Xavier recognizes this. If I remember right, Wolverine didn't do this on his own but was the only one who would. B/C he (4)
killerqueen
Xavier also sent a young team to go save his original team, and they all ended up dying. Moira was pissed because she was training them.
MmeStraka
kids, not something people acknowledge or remember. Goes beyond the "everyone is inherently" good and into some people are too dangerous (3)

Incorrect. See "The Apocalypse Solution" in Uncanny X-Force.
TacoPuncher
couldn't they have put him in some radiation proof suit to prevent the radiation from leaking
sirpipthegreat
Wasn't really radiation, it was toxins and acids that eat organic material (like sulfuric). It would probably have to be a glass bubble.
sirpipthegreat
I say glass because it wouldn't react with organic acids and is relatively inert. Not much of an existence, but they didn't have to kill em.
Thismayormaynotbeaperson
And then be able to control his ability. I think having the power to instantly vaporise organic material would come in handy
Mythrion
Since no one knew he did it, why not cure the kid and let him attempt a normal life. Of course the stacks against that are high.
bsmack44
you cant cure him from his mutant ability. its not that easy
TacoPuncher
couldn't they have put him in some radiation proof suit to prevent the radiation from leaking
TravisjHatcher
It's like diarrhea, man, it runs in your jeans
RichterCa
This was released in March 2004, four months before Astonishing X-Men started the "Cure" story line.
RGMozyJr
This also takes place in what is known as the "Ultimate" universe, which was separate from the "normal" universe in which the cure was made
Samael13
True, but there were power nullifiers for decades before that. Forge nullified Storm's powers years ago, and Genosha had inhibiter collars.

Have you read the part where they open up his Last Will & Testament? Also, does killing when it's absolutely necessary actually make (1/2)
YanderePrincess
him less of a saint? If it's to protect the mutant race? And the human race? And everything else on the planet? (2/2)

It comes up later that this particular task was given to Wolverine by Nick Fury without Xavier knowing. Your point still stands though.

Its been a while since I read this run, but wasn't Prof X already dead at this point?
MmeStraka
Ah, my mistake. Thanks.

He was part of the group that sent hulk to space and essentially started world war hulk
BustyRustyisCrusty
that was not the intention, they were going to send him a a relly nice planet with no one to hurt, but a wormhole hit him
Ireallydonthaveanyideawhattonamemyself
The intention itself was fucked up
BustyRustyisCrusty
no, he was hurting himself and everyone else. he could have destroyed the plantet. he always wanted to be left alone he said so
tynanaideen
actually he didn't vote on that, it was a plot point when Hulk came back and he ended up asking Chuck how he would have voted.
Ireallydonthaveanyideawhattonamemyself
Yeah, he was gone during the vote but he said he would have agreed to it.
IAmDrBanner
He didn't tho. Him, Namor and Black Panther refused to take part in the whole sending me to space thing. We are cool, me and baldy.
Ireallydonthaveanyideawhattonamemyself
He didn't refuse to take part. He just wasn't there. He said that he agreed with the decision to send hulk off planet
IAmDrBanner
But he didn't make the decision, that is what I meant to say. Namor outright refused, he even fought iron man I think at that meeting. (1)
IAmDrBanner
Fuck. Felt nostalgic now. Might have to re read the damn thing. (2)

The illuminati: Reed Richard, Tony Stark, Doctor Strange, Charles Xavier. The leader of each group.

Captain America was also part of the Illuminati at first, until he thought they went to far.

Knowing Cap, I'm guessing that lasted all of 5 minutes?

Namor (Atlanteans) and Black Bolt (Inhumans) as well.
