X-Men: The (fan fic) Series

Not really knowing the history behind these two character’s relationship, I don’t know if I should be smiling or really sad.

I’m guessing, from how it’s portrayed in the comic here, that Beast and Wonder Man had a pretty close friendship until Wonder Man did something that pretty much ended it. It’s an awkward reunion but after some greasy food and a few beers, they spend the evening just doing stuff like taking on the Circus of Crime and randomly shaving Wolverine’s head (classic!) and the night ends on Beast getting sexually assaulted by ‘Poundcakes’.

It’s all pretty hilarious and socially aware, but I have a feeling it was supposed to be poignant too. It does kinda make me wish I knew more about their relationship.

Our second unlikely team-up is Captain America and Jubilee. Apparently Nazi Vampires are a thing now.

The fact that Jubilee is a vampire now, and all that entails, doesn’t get touched on that much. Even in X-Men where she’s a major character and has adopted a kid, it’s something that’s only briefly touched on in her comments that her kid won’t exactly have a normal childhood, but then who does when it comes to the X-Men? As decently written as it was, it was still just your typical PSA on ‘not letting your situation control who you are as a person’ kind of thing.

Just cause you’re a vampire doesn’t mean you have to be a monster. Truer words to live by, no doubt…
