Theme Game: they all feature characters whose name is a word normally spelled with a “C”, but spelled with a “K” (Lunatik, Magik, Havok)?

transformations – each features a character who has physically transformed from the character’s last appearance – Red Guardian, Karma, and Hodge.

“Sub-Mariner and Hellcat have nothing to do with this one.” is what the link into this said.

I’m thinking it’s Valkyrie.

Maybe that her and Moonstar were both linked heavily to Asgard, and Cameron Hodge is linked with a demon…

Cover Theme: All the covers feature at least one mutant.

Jean wins, easy. Telepathy and horny voters.

This is two “This Comic Is Good”‘s in a row! First Global Frequency, now Pounded. Pounded was one of those mini’s that I picked up in a quarter bin at a local con a few years ago. I loved the first two sissues and spent the better paret of a week debating the merits of the final issue with a friend of mine. Can’t ask for more than that from a 75 cent investment!

Here’s the thing with Jean being in American Idol. Having a really killer body will get you far, but you won’t win on that alone. Because as you get down to the end, America all of a sudden thinks they are legit judges of talent, and will be overly critical of any vocal mishaps. Plus, I don’t think telepathy works over television frequancies.

Bobby would pull a Peter Brady and have a crackly voice. He’s out.

Scott would be a bore and try and bust it loose with “Copa Cabanna” or something lame. He’s done.

That leaves Hank, who would probably learn all there is about singing, and Warren, who has the voice of an Angel (thank you, thank, I’ll be here all week).

I’ll take Warren in a toss up.

Hank’s Taylor Hicks beats Bobby’s Clay Aiken. But it’s close.

No matter who won, Professor X would come in at the last minute and wipe everybody’s minds so they wouldn’t remember a thing.

I’m willing to bet Warren, being the upper class kid that he was, probably had vocal training in his youth, or at the very least has some sort of musical experience, which should tip the votes in his favour.

But that’s assuming the American public would vote based on talent.

I’ll have to check out “Pounded” – sounds good.

I wonder if it’s coincidence that “Heavy Parker” is an anagram of “Harvey Pekar” …”?

It’s been established that Hank has a tin ear, so he’s out.

Scott has all the charisma of a skin cancer, so he has no chance.

Out of Bobby, Warren, and Jean, I give Jean the best shot, as Bobby and Warren will split the squealing teenage girl demographic between them, leaving Jean to clean up among the disturbingly-high male 35-50 numbers.

The cover homage is Avengers #25 when Cap’s Kooky Quartet fought Dr. Doom.

It would probably come down to Beast, Angel, and Jean; with Beast winning it all. Chances are, Angel has the best voice, Jean would be there as the sex symbol, and Beast would win it in the ratings-grabbing twist at the end (a la Rueben Studdard and that crazy guy who won last year).

Cover Challenge- Is the theme characters being transformed?

Warren would win. He’s just so dreeeeeamy.

The Beast would have a shot too. Look at the ugly bastard that won the contest last time around.
