It's also been about a hundred years, since I read "The Douglock Chronicles" trilogy from Excalibur, which features Zero on the run, trying to release Stryfe's data on the Legacy Virus, but the android--robot?--whatever, is destroyed. Like a number of robots in the Marvel U. Zero was trying to achieve true, free sentience; but our Zero here is just a tool, not a person. So far, anyway...
And it's probably been a hundred strips since we've seen her do it, but yeah, Satana can teleport. She can here, anyway; I honestly forget if she can in regular continuity. But, I think her teleporting maybe works like Magik's used to, way back in New Mutants: it maybe involves going through Limbo or Hell or Hoboken; somewhere unpleasant, anyway. Hopefully without a layover.
As it currently stands, both Satana or Zero offer a more reliable means of travel than our airplanes. Especially near New Jersey.
ReplyDeleteI actually did read Gambit & the Xternals (mostly for the art) and it was ok, nothing world-changing but ok. Interesting cast I tell you that. Didn’t read em all though so I did miss the part where they met that universe’s Starjammers, though I’m pretty sure they’re pretty much the same other than that Corsair never meeting Scott & Alex. I think, I could be wrong.
Yeah, I’m mostly lost on that- like I said, AoA is a particular blank spot in an already spotty knowledge of Marvel.
ReplyDeleteI don’t know what the bar per capita ratio is… wherever this is (Manhattan? Have you ever said where, goo?) but a three block radius sounds pretty reasonable outside of tourist areas and low income areas.
The bar's somewhere in New York City...a vague, Marvel version of it: it's been too long since I've looked at the old OHOTMU maps, with Avengers Mansion, Dr. Strange's Sanctum, the Four Freedoms building and such. But I honestly don't know NYC: I wouldn't want to live there, or even visit, unless I had Spider-Man's powers. How do people get anywhere there? (I know they do, it just seems a chore!)
ReplyDeleteThe subway and buses, I’d imagine- I did a summer program at NYU once back in college, and that’s mostly how I got anywhere further than 10 blocks.
