* In one issue of ''[[X-Men (Comic Book)|X-Men]]'', [[Wolverine]] and Rogue are in the Savage Land and [[Enemy Mine|have joined up with foes Brainchild and Gaza]] to transform [[Big Bad|Sauron]] from his pterodactyl form back to humanity. Sauron [[What the Hell, Hero?|calls them out]] for trying to force the change on him, seeing as he's quite comfortable being Sauron instead of his former human self, and then points out that if he's not around to maintain his rule over the Savage Land, someone else will come along and take over anyway. Wolverine pauses a moment, then unsheathes his claws and severs Sauron's bonds before advising him to flee.▼

'''Edna:''' You push too hard, darling! But I accept! }}
