Probably because he was more of a symbol than anything else. That and they had people like the Red Skrull, Baron Zemo, etc.

Star Wars fans are cooler :P

@Edamame:

It probably was a message about the Nazi. Of course, much of the war in the Pacific was air / sea, so he might have been more useful in Europe.

1. Hm. I think they're both evil in their own way.
2. I think Apocalypse's vision is that the strong should rule while the weak should serve / die. Magneto just wants his people to survive; if that means the extinction of humanity, then so be it. I always saw Magneto as a tragic anti-hero, never a villain. That is how I would write him.
3. Good question. I don't think there is a concrete answer. I will have to think on this.
4. I think they are polar opposites.
5. He could be seen as such, but I don't think he fulfilled this in his timeline. He might be trying for that in 616, though. I think X-Man may have beaten Apocalypse.
6. Mutants are the underdogs - especially after M-day. They (well, most of them) just wanted to live in peace. Humans have always been scared of those who are different. It's been like that for as long as humans have roamed the Earth.
7. I'd call Shadow King more evil and Sabretooth more sadistic.

6) Basketball or football (which do you prefer to play/watch)?
"
1. I understand both arguments on the matter and I respect them. I can go either way, depending on the situation. Generally, I am opposed to life because it is a financial drain. I'm more for life imprisonment and hard labor. Meaning, they work hard for the rest of their lives, effectively paying for their own time and helping the economy with a relatively cheap labor force.
2. Because he's cool and people like that. And he holds his lightsaber backwards, and everyone thinks that's "badass" (even if it's really bad form)
3. Used to. Would like to watch some of the episodes on DVD.
4. Not yet. It's near the bottom of my list, mainly because I hold a serious grudge against Troy Denning because of what he did to LotF.
5. I think everyone should be civil and, yes, respectful. Too many arguments end in insults and slander. I like a nice civil debate that ends with respected opinions and
6. I don't watch either; I find them boring. But I watch the Super Bowl once a year, so I suppose that's one more game of Football than Basketball....
1) Good standing. I only asked that because I wanted to pose a serious question (because this is serious business) without instigating a huge social/political argument.
2) Hmm. Well, he did pull a Star Destroyer down you know. He's that awesome. For real. 
3) Do that. I have been watching more of it recently.
4) Understood. I also have my gripes with Denning regarding LotF, but I enjoy his writing overall.
5) Cool.
6) Alright. I personally rarely watch or play football. Just curious about that.

Next question set:
1) Favorite quote(s) from a comic character(s) and favorite quote(s) from any historical, literary, or significant real life figure(s)?
2) If you could possess any one super power, what would it be?

@Edamame:

1. Perhaps. I just always viewed it as Magneto protecting his own race - most likely because he doesn't want to see what happened to the Jews to happen again.
2. Not sure. X-Man probably did save him there.

A. True.
B. X-Man should have been able to beat AoA Apocalypse. 616 Apocalypse is another thing entirely - though current X-Man > 616 Apocalypse.

3. Yes, but the question is, would they? Most mutants don't want to be a threat; the humans push them into it. And, of course, there are the Sentinels which wiped out Genosha.

4. Sinister is just a "mad scientist" who wants nothing more than to screw around with genetics - be they human or mutant. As for his end goal, not sure. I think it's all just a way to gain more knowledge for his research.

5. They're equal. They both care for mutants a great deal, but they take different paths in achieving their goals. But their goals are very similar. As I said, I see Magneto as an anti-hero, not a villain.

@Edamame:

2.

B. I was rather confused by who or what that child was. Was it really Apocalypse reincarnated or a child being groomed for the role? I was never really sure about that. If that wasn't the real Apocalypse, then I don't know where he is; perhaps he's still in the future and he'll eventually come back to the present.

3. Nova ordered the attack, but she didn't create the Sentinels. And if you remember, the blame for those deaths was placed on Trask:
No Caption Provided

4. He is a lot more tactical and not very confrontational - which isn't to say that he can't fight, but I think he prefers to be the puppet master.

5. I must admit: I always saw Xavier's battle cry ("To me, my X-Men") as one that really showed what his character was. I don't know, it just had a rather pompous air to it.

2.

B. Uncanny X-Force takes place in the 616 universe. It can be argued that Messiah War took place in a different timeline.

3. But, to be fair, was it not Trask's goal to annihilate mutants with his Sentinels? The creator of guns didn't envision them for killing innocent people; Trask did.

4. Sort of. But Bastion's and Sinister's goals are quite different. But it's true that both prefer to manipulate events.

5. It's true. And Magneto's life is what shaped him. He knew exactly how cruel humanity could be. In all honesty, if I were to pick sides, I would side with Magneto (well, if I were a mutant). Not Ultimate Magneto, though; that guy was kind of a psycho.

1. LUCAS SHOULD LEAVE MY STAR WARS ALONE!!!!

*ahem* Which is to say, I believe Mr. George Lucas should abstain from future contributions to the franchise and, instead, consider retiring to his beautiful ranch.

2. Sure. But I want to move away from the movies. If I were involved, I would have it take place during the Yuuzhan Vong War, Mandalorian War, Second Galactic Civil War, or Imperial Civil War.

3. In real life or in a fictional, hypothetical sense?

"2. True. Messiah War was the Age of Stryfe, right? Well, it can then be argued that 616 Apocalyspe is dead, if that child was indeed En Sabah Nur.  Not sure why he would suddenly become a child, though.  If this is wrong, then 616 Apocalypse is stuck in time, being force to repay the Celestials. "It is time, Apocalypse. It is time."3. Yes, but on such a large scale? I don't think that even he is that genocidal to kill sixteen million mutants. Some of the humans who support the Sentinel programs just thought that the Sentinels could be used to protect them if they ever get attacked. Just as a fail-safe.  Sorry. I was just using a real-life comparison example, regarding the guns.  On this note, I am sure the creator of guns envisioned them for the use of protection.  Not genocide or violence, even though protection can sometimes get violent, sadly.  4. I was referring to their personalities and their ways of executing their goals.  Their goals are completely different. 5. Indeed, but would you be concerned that Magneto would only want to use you as a weapon in battle and not see you as a person with a life? This is why I doubt both characters, even though I like Magneto more.  6. New question:  Would you rather work for Mr. Sinister or Apocalypse? "
2. The origin of the child was very vague. They never explained it. They just said "here's a kid who looks kinda like Apocalypse being raised by a cult. Kill him."
3. I didn't write the issue. I'm just saying that humans can be rather violent, as well, and that the Sentinels are an example of that.
4. True.
5. Lose-lose, really. I won't get treated too much better in the X-Men - and the X-Men, I believe, die more often. I mean, look what happened to the New X-Men! They had kids there in a virtual war zone! I'm in favor of hero training and I liked the X academy; just pointing it out.
6. Is there a "neither" option? I pick Apocalypse, though. I'd rather not be Sinister's guinea pig. Plus, if he won, there's a chance that I could rule a region of Earth. I hear Australia is nice....

Sprained. Haven't broken one yet.

Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen. Meh, it was okay. I liked the first one better.

Before that, I saw Jonah Hex. Felt rushed, but it was enjoyable.

5. Nightcrawler was basically the X-Men's moral compass. He was one of my favorites; and he had a rather good death, I must say. That's more than a lot of characters can say.
6. I wouldn't mind going to Australia. I'd also like to go to Great Britain so that I might gain an English accent (not hard. I watch an episode of Doctor Who or Torchwood and I have an accent for a few hours).

6. Doctor Who is great. I liked the episodes written by RTD. He was great on Doctor Who and Torchwood.

7. I don't think so. Selene never really impressed me.

5. X-Force has good intentions in the end. 6. It actually scared me when I was younger. LOL Some episodes.  7. Do you think she can defeat Bastion?8. Is fearing fear itself ironic? That in itself is fear, isn't it? LOL9. Is tribalism human nature or is that statement too simplifying? In a more broad sense. I mean it like this: "if you don't like swimming like I do, then I won't befriend you, and I will stay away from you." Things like that. Separation based on preferences, etc. Is that human nature? What does this say about us humans? "
5. It does. It's necessary. Wolverine was right; now Cyclops won't feel guilty. And X-23 didn't belong on the roster. She's been through enough and doesn't need to be used by friends. This new roster is better. It's a bunch of people that have no problem with killing (well, most of them don't. Psylocke and Archangel are going through some things)
6. Heh. I love that show. The new seasons are too light for my taste.
7. Not sure.
8. Not really. If you think of it as: the only thing you need to fear is the act of being scared. In other words, it is in a state of fear that you may make the wrong decision. Whether I agree or not is a different matter. Fear can help sometimes; that's where fight or flight comes in.
9. It's a basic human instinct to be scared of anything that is different. But for the average person, using your example, then it may be more that people prefer to be with people that share their interests.

Static Shock

Sexy Merc

I don't even need the other five. I defy anyone to go up against that.

I enjoy going to the driving range on occasion, but I'm not that big a fan of golf.

I'm rather decent at chess.
