Worf Had the Flu: Difference between revisions

 

 

* In the big [[The DCU|DC]] vs [[Marvel Universe]] crossover, one fight that attracted particular opprobrium from fans was [[Lobo]]—a character who can go toe-to-toe with [[Superman]] and at the time [[From a Single Cell|could regenerate from a single drop of blood]]—losing to [[Wolverine]] (who at the time didn't even have his adamantium skeleton, though his healing factor ''was'' significantly boosted as a result). This was explicitly down to [[Popularity Power]]—the results were voted on by fans—but the match-up was so uneven the writers had to have Wolverine's victory take place off-panel. A little while later Lobo mentioned that he'd actually been bribed by "some bald guy" (presumably Professor X) to take a dive in the fight.

* One of the more famous events in the history of the [[X-Men (Comic Book)|X-Men]] is the battle for leadership of the team between Cyclops and [[Storm]] - who at the time had no powers. Storm won by stealing Cyclops' [[Power Incontinence|visor]]. Without the control of the visor, any attempt to continue fighting would've run the risk of killing Storm (or any of the audience), so he gave up. Several years later, Cyclops' ex-wife Madelyne Pryor announced that she'd used her psychic powers to ''make'' Cyclops lose. This is a relatively easy [[Retcon]] since Cyclops spent much of the fight distracted by a major argument he and Madelyne had just been having, so to say he didn't exactly have his mind on the battle was very easy to change into a result of Madelyne's direct influence.
