"Episode #239: Deadpool and Nightcrawler go into space."

Is this really episode #239? Eh, well, maybe?

It's pretty traditional for heroes to make a trip or two into space: sometimes, it's just as far as orbit or the moon, sometimes it's to an alien world or the far end of the galaxy. For X-Men in particular, visits to the Shi'ar or the Brood are as standard as a trip to the Savage Land or Japan. I was thinking of an issue of Classic X-Men (#7) where the X-Men bum a trip to on a space shuttle from their scientist pal Dr. Corbeau--whom the X-Men hit up every time they need a space shuttle but are never anywhere to be found when he needs to move a couch. Wolverine, Jean Grey, and Banshee were kidnapped by the Sentinels; and on the shuttle's launching pad Cyclops was being mopey broody, Storm was having a claustrophobic freak-out, Colossus was likewise losing it since his brother had been a cosmonaut and was believed to have died on the launchpad. And Nightcrawler is basically "Whooo! Space! Yeah!"

I'll have to find one of Deadpool's space trips some other time.
