Marvel 2012: Avengers vs. the X-men

[DAVE]

Let's just let the Branch Davidians have a nuke! Or Fred Phelps!

I'd rather have two scientists like Reed Richards and Tony Stark with the Phoenix Force instead of a bunch a religious wackos holed up in their compound.

I try not to base my actions on the pretense that cosmic raptors will want to shag me, and neither should Scott.

Hey guys remember one of the last times the X-Men and the Avengers had a big fight? It was over the global terrorist Erik Magnus Lehnsherr. The X-Men were battling to protect Lehnsherr, better known by his extremist name "Magneto" from being held trial for his many crimes against humanity. It was during the last time Magneto supposedly turned over a new leaf from his violent, racist, genocidal past. What did Magneto do after that? Armed himself with stolen Russian nuclear weapons (one of which was detonated), attack and kill several SHEILD law enforcement agents, kidnapped and tortured scientist and noted Mutant Rights supporter Dr. Moira MacTaggert, maimed and almost killed the Mutant/Human integrationist known as Logan, held the world hostage and caused untold amounts of property damage and loss of life with both an electro-magnetic pulse that downed planes and blacked-out hospitals and by reversing the magnetic poles of Earth!
And that's not even bringing up his alleged role in the Xorn/Manhattan incident. A role that many believe is being covered up for Magneto by the Mutant population.
No, good call Cyclops! Let's let you hang on to the Dark Phuckin' Phoenix again and see if you can do a better job this time. And if it blows up and she kills a bunch of people we'll just give you another shot next time you wanna harbor the next global supervillain!

I fear Hooks may hurt himself and others at the conclusion of this story

[Kefky]

More like, he's gonna get taken in for twitter vandalism.

I know it's all in fun (I hope) but Marvel probably now sees Hooks as a Newsarama-like crazed fanboy

The sad thing is, since the X-Men are doing so poorly at the beginning of this, it probably just means they will be triumphant at the end.

I can see Summers giving up on the last vestiges of supporting Professor Xavier's dream of peaceful integration and fully embracing the extremist terrorist tactics of his compatriots Magneto, Namor and Frost.

Dave! Is it true that Magneto in his alleged attack on New York as Xorn, tricked students of the mutant/human integrationist school the Xavier Institute to take part in atrocities such as sending humans to their deaths, mass property destruction, and ripping apart the city?

Let's not forget Namor attempted to destroy the state of California with a giant tidal wave not too long ago. That's unacceptable whether he be a sovereign or former Avenger.
