The Iceman thread.

Iceman and Mystique are a horrible match.

Where did Baxter talk about inbreeding?

This was a while back. I think during the Magical arc of UXM. Kirkman was previewing Cable and was talking about how he wasn't gonna be related to anyone.

Baxter made a comment to that effect. But it's true. The people of the X-verse are so inbred. I mean who isn't a "duncle"?

Iceman is now stronger. Smarter. Faster. More durable.


No seriously, see:

As you can see, the blue are the official ratings, so those count. This now means that:

  • Iceman is smarter. He's at the gifted level, but he's not actually gifted intellengence like Professor X.

  • Iceman is has grown stronger and is within the 25-75 ton range.

  • He can now go up to a or around supersonic: Mach-2 speed (Probably when he could travel within the waters. Or maybe on his iceslide, not sure. I believe he traveled faster in the water, actually).

  • I'm actually not sure on the durability. He may have always been at the Superhuman level (6), but I can't remember right now.

  • His energy projection has gone up I think just one level. I don't see how fans think he can project every kind of energy which is what level 7 is.

  • Now Iceman seems to be a master of a single form of combat. Before he was at level 3, where he only had some training. Seems he got a lot more.


He also used an ice clone in the last issue of X-Men, something that he hasn't done in a long, long time. I'm glad Carey is doing all this awesome stuff with his powers, something previous writers neglected a lot.

I really do like Iceman as a character, he's always been one of my favourite X-Men, but those stats seem a bit ridiculous. Durability, Energy Projection, Speed and Strength are fine, but the Intelligence and Fighting Skills seem way overboard.

I'm actually curious about those two myself, as well. Although I wouldn't say they're overboard...well, for fighting anyways.

But I guess the way the writers have explained the power grid before is that even though they're in that range where you go "WTF?! HOW?!" it doesn't mean they are. Which would be like I said for intelligence. He's gotten smarter, so he's above learned, but he's not gifted like Professor X. That would mean he's in the middle, and they don't have a middlge ground, so they "round up".
 
I know you like him and I don't mean to insult you, but those numbers are effin' ridiculous.

How so? :?

I already explained the intelligence. The others match because he is stronger with his ice powers.

The fighting, that's just my guess in where I explained.
