POST 3 OF 4: STORM AND GAMBIT Thinking about Wolverine and Jubilee made me want to do Storm and Gambit right after it, because they had another really interesting partnership during this same period. They met when Storm was a child, basical...
POST 2 OF 4: WOLVERINE AND JUBILEE Wolverine's obviously my favorite character. I've posted a lot about him before, but I wanted to do something specific toward him and Jubilee's relationship, because it was good seeing them grow together t...

7/12 X-Factor #23 shows how much preparation is behind all of this. The captives have power-dampening equipment. Hodge uses traps and a hologram, and the armored opponent the team fights is protected with ruby quartz to counter Cyclops. Eve...
