I didn't even know there was such a character, but I figured there probably was.

Lottel · « **Reply #1721 on:** June 13, 2011, 06:21:45 PM »

Actually, Xorn had a star in his head. And he was Magneto but his twin brother, Xorn was not.

It is possible you're thinking of Chamber?

Lottel · « **Reply #1723 on:** June 13, 2011, 06:46:43 PM »

Chamber's head exploded into psionic fire and shoots laser things.
I know someone has to have a blackhole in the X-men but I am having a hard time finding someone.

Well, a black hole is... sort of a star. In the same way that collapsing nebulae are stars.

Ted Belmont · « **Reply #1725 on:** June 13, 2011, 06:49:17 PM »

Well, there's this guy. He's Marvel, but not X-Men.

Also, apparently Xorn's brother has a black hole for a head rather than a star. So there you go. The other guy is closer to Lottel, though.

Also also, the Xorn/Magneto thing was retconned so he wasn't actually Magneto, but was rather Xorn pretending to be Magneto pretending to be Xorn.

No no, Lottel's black hole is in his chest. It polarizes a love radiation field around him, causing attitudes towards him to align positively.

Now if we could weaponize it, we could have the first real superhero.

Lottel, how do you feel about spandex?

TA · « **Reply #1728 on:** June 13, 2011, 08:38:16 PM »

Just sayin'.

I'd need a sidekick

Classic · « **Reply #1730 on:** June 13, 2011, 09:29:08 PM »

You'd do well to advertise how tall you are and roughly how white. It won't do to have a sidekick who was more either of those than you.

Basically I hate Claremont and Austen.

When Tina Fey was five years old, a crazy person came up to her while she was playing in her yard and stabbed her in the face. As a result, to this day she has a good-sized scar on the left side of her jaw. That this happened really tore her parents up, and being reminded bums them out, so she tries to mask it while on TV or being photographed, preferring to have pictures taken of her right side and blocking scenes so her left side is usually facing away from the camera and wearing concealing makeup and such, so unless you're watching 30 Rock in 1080p you probably wouldn't even notice it.

'course, I knew all that already. What I just learned is that according to the Internet, this makes her a Bad Feminist.

The titular character in "The Gambler" dies.

Classic · « **Reply #1735 on:** June 15, 2011, 02:09:18 PM »

Congratulations on listening to it, I suppose?

If you play the first track of Radiohead's OK Computer right before the first track of In Rainbows right before the second track of OK Computer and so on and so forth, the songs will all lead into each other like some kind of mega super-album.

One that was released in 2 parts over the course of 10 years.

Works best if you do it with 10 second crossfade effect.

Oh, the things I learn from Cracked.com

Mighty Morphin Power Rangers Theme Song

Today I learned that this song had lyrics beyond just "GO GO POWER RANGERS! YOU MIGHTY MORPHIN' POWER RANGERS!"

Also, "They know to only use their weapons for defense" is one of the best lines in any song ever.

I learned that Steven E. Gordon, the character designer for X-Men Evolution, does commissions.

Erotic commissions.

Remember "Dote Up A Cat?"

Dote up a Cat Intro

[spoiler]All the catgirls in the game are seriously ill or dying. The story takes place in a hospital, and the dog-guy protagonist is their doctor. The catgirls die at the end.[/spoiler]
