Jay & Miles X-Plain the X-Men

472 – Leave Room for Magneto (The Twelve, Part Two)

In which the Twelve should really be twelve chapters long; Archangel has issues; we continue to bemoan the absence of captions; the X-Men ditch their crossover event for a side quest; Magneto is Genosha’s official chaperone; and we would absolutely elect Emma Frost to a school board.

X-PLAINED:

  • What Cable does next
  • The event so far
  • Wolverine #146-147
  • Uncanny X-Men Annual 1999
  • Whether the Shadow King is moist
  • Why tiny cavemen can’t have nice things
  • Numerous flashbacks and allusions
  • Archangel’s third-stage evolution
  • The Philharmonic Gets Dressed
  • Abraham Kieros (again)
  • Apocalypse as a self-help guru
  • Fully nude Wolverine
  • X-51 #8 (briefly)
  • Fabian Cortez (more) (again)
  • A miracle of magnetism
  • Scomp linking
  • A big fancy machine
  • Exodus (more) (again)
  • Mutants we’d like to see in public office

  1. On an episode of Smodcast, they said PEGGING, started in pirate-days(time of history).
    JUST REPEATING WHAT EPISODE SAYS lol : young boys were brought on pirate ships to be the sailors’ sexual-slaves. boys would be forced to sit on pegs, with the pegs up their booties, to er, get them ready for the anal-sex.
