I'm a scientist and an educator. And occasionally, I want to say things that I shouldn't say in front of the students. So, here I am.

Adamant
Greg gets all ranty every time he sees a commercial for the new Wolverine movie. I'm thinking that sitting on the couch watching the commercials with him is likely way more entertaining than the movie will be.
Apparently, when Grant "Sure, Batman can use a gun" Morrison took over writing the second X-Men series in '01, he wanted to have a "tank" character not unlike Colossus, who was, I think, dead. Since Frost had semi-reformed and hooked up with the X-men then, Morrison decided to have her be able to go all diamondy.
According to Wikipedia, when she does go all diamondy, she becomes "also numbed from all emotion and empathy". Frost indeed!
Heh.
ReplyDeleteVery likely!
What's got him worked up about it?
ReplyDeleteWHY IS EMMA FROST SPARKLY?
ReplyDeleteAnd that's just the tip of the iceberg, my friends.
ReplyDeleteWell, she can transform her flesh into diamond, after all.
ReplyDeleteJon, really? Okay, my X-Knowledge is obviously far out of date.
ReplyDeleteFrost = diamond? Really? That's cheating!

This ends my geeky x-moment of the day.
