I still haven't bought the Superior Iron Man figure...I'm hoping to find him on the cheap later. I also forget what the gimmick of that particular suit was; like didn't it have symbiote parts or tech or goo or something? I don't think it moved like a Carnage or Venom, though. I also know I read the first parts of Axis...wait, maybe I didn't; those covers don't ring a bell. I probably read an issue or two of Axis: Revolutions or the Amazing X-Men crossover issue; which have the fights Kurt refers to.

"Jammed."
While I (of course) agree with Kurt, that Orchis guys deserve whatever bad end comes to them; you might get where Satana is coming from. I don't think she's a big nerd, but she would've watched Next Generation, and probably saw this surprisingly brutal death from the episode "In Theory":
That, and on BlueSky, Max the Comics Guy points out what happens when you get rid of all the X-Men who aren't cool with murder, you're left with...

The only book I was reading that tied into Axis was Deadpool, and I actually dropped it until the tie-ins were over. Didn't help the book had just finished 4 or 5 issues of Original Sin tie-ins a month earlier.
It's sweet how insistent Satana is that Kurt remain good, but c'mon, just a little matricide? Mystique totally deserves it!
Absolutely! If nothing else, the reversal of the usual dynamics helps freshen up the whole family rivalry.
As for Axis, I only ever read the Carnage & Hobgoblin spin-offs. They felt far more entertaining than the event that caused them to happen.
I know Kurt’s admittedly pretty biased towards the nature of Kitty’s powers, but that’s only because she’s overall a really decent person. Well at least back when I was reading about her. I know she changed a bit during the Krakoa era, becoming…um, like a pirate/smuggler? I’m not sure.
But yeah, her powers can pretty scary if you think about them long enough. Probably another reason why both the Hand and SHIELD tried to recruit her.
Wait, is that their plan- just don’t look? I could see that working but it’s a bit of a cliche at this point
I assume the solution is going to be whoever Kurt called, though I can't guess who it'll be. Dazzler, raising everyone's spirits with rockin' tunes?
Or maybe it's going the other way, and Kurt contacted something so depressing or offensive they drive D'Spayre away.
Eh, whatever gets the job done I suppose- it’ll be at least spring by the time this thing ends unless there’s a quickie ending.
Screw it- I’ll give my guess. I’m probably wrong, but even if I’m right I doubt goo’s going to change things up this late in the game.
I say it’s Destiny- I don’t if she’s ever shown up or how useful her powers would be, but it seems to fit the situation.
Ok I’m intrigued; why would she be a good choice to end this?
Basically, goo made it a point a couple of posts ago to mention H.E.R.B.I.E.’s free will and that Kurt was making a call. Destiny is the opposite of free will, and is the name of an X-Man so it only seems appropriate.
