X-Men (Comic Book): Difference between revisions

* [[Butt Monkey]]: Ord started out as the [[Big Bad]] of the Breakworld arc, only to get demoted to [[The Woobie]] after his failure.

* [[Cannot Tell a Joke]]: Colossus by his own admission in ''Astonishing X-Men'' #19, after being told of a prophecy that he is destined to destroy the Breakworld:

* [[Captain Ethnic]]: They tend to be well written and popular characters, but many mutants skirt the line. Sunspire is the only one who fits both in powers and heroic identity and also manages to be [[Captain Geographic]].

* [[Cheated Angle]]: Artists' notes on how to draw Nightcrawler say that they ''must'' draw his tail with a curve in it (when character is drawn from the front, with legs apart) so the tail wouldn't look phallic.

** The worst offenders in the X-men are probably Emma Frost and Psylocke. Emma Frost is so bad that a lingerie teddy was her original costume ''and it got worse from there.'' They've even Lampshaded it in one comic, where the students are glad she wears pants now. Psylocke is noted that its not so much that her costume is revealing as it is a thong and might as well be painted on.

** Well, she was part of a club which prided itself on "going back to a purer time where money ruled without sexual inhibitions".

'''Emma Frost:''' "So gushingly glad you could join us." }}

** [[World War Two|Doctor]] [[Magnificent Bastard|Nemesis]] recently [[Lampshade Hanging|lampshades this even further]] by [[Crowning Moment of Funny|finding new ways to non-stop insult Frost about this during an entire story, culminating in telling her that if she doesn't immediately follow his orders he will personally destroy every fetish wear store on the planet]].
