Captain America is apparently allergic to sparkly stars? Because that ninja never came near him.


Wolverine thinks the best way to treat someone for blood loss is to strip them and dress them in a skimpy nightie? That must have made some of those nights with Havok awkward.


The sole reason for this issue, other than continuity wanking over Wolverine meeting Captain America, is to have Jim Lee draw Black Widow and Psylocke in sexy poses, but we’re meant to take this Claremontian “isn’t the objectification of women terrible” aside seriously?


Did Betsy get dressed in the dark? Those shoes with that dress? Not to mention that dress? And those gloves? Wasn’t this woman a model at some point?

Seriously, what the fuck is up with those gloves?

    If someone were to do a skanky remake of Pretty in Pink, Betsy’s outfit would be the prom dress. Just a thought.

  2. Lawrence says:

    I thought bad taste in clothing was a requirement to be a superhero?

  3. Sallyp says:

    It’s pretty obvious that Betsy actually has terrible taste in clothes. Which considering some of the outfits that she has shown up in, is no great surprise.

  4. Martin Wisse says:

    The biggest question being why these are unanswered questions of Uncanny X-Men 238, when they’re actually about issue 268…

  5. Josh says:

    But . . . but . . . the Jim Lee X-Men were a sexy . . . fashion show!

  6. Tim O'Neil says:

    Even at the time I knew that Jim Lee designed some pretty goofy looking couture.

    Now, Marc Silvestri always had a much better eye for clothing during his run. But then, Silvestri was generally a much better artist at this point in their careers.

  7. Bill D. says:

    Is Psylocke smoking there? Did Lee figure that by this point, he might as well just hop completely on the “This is a fetish for someone” train?
