LIES ALL LIES (X-Force #55)
(Probably not a LMD. This time.) (X-Force #55)
I’m not sure sound works like that, but it’s still cool. (X-Force #55)
And now you know how animated Wolverine feels. (X-Force #55)
Well, that’s one way to open a giant door. (X-Force #55)
Seriously, why is he in his underwear? (X-Force #55)
It’s really not any harder to believe than anything else in this comic. (X-Force #55)
Sacrelicious! (X-Force #56)
The Benjamin Russell storyline really doesn’t make any sense when you break it down… (X-Force #56)
I have nightmares like this. (X-Force #56)
IT WAS GAMESMASTER ALL ALONG SURE WHY NOT (X-Force #56)
We kinda forgot to cover this first time ’round. (X-Men Unlimited #8)
Puberty’s rough, buddy. (X-Men Unlimited #8)
“There’s a new mutant about to manifest! Let’s have the MOST UNSETTLING X-Man go follow him around!” (X-Men Unlimited #8)

LINKS & FURTHER CATASTROPHES:
- For the backstory on the Weisman Institute, listen to Episode 304 – Explosive Ops.
- Please enjoy the genius that is Hans Jensen.
Risque is the French word for Risk. So the character is just French or faking French.
Minor correction. He joins the New Warriors (by Gen X writer Jay Faerber) not the Thunderbolts.
Whoops–thanks for the catch! I think I got my wires crossed with all the lightning going around. =D
“Especially the part where he gets the girl” broke me. I laughed for quite a while.
“Somehow his devastating optic blasts have been curtailed”
