Did Havok have a breakdown/loss of faith in himself while in the Savage Lands? Because I remember him being in charge during that time, or leading right up to it. I do remember that Psylocke used her powers to convince the others to go through the Siege. And yes, it is sad that it's been 20 years. :...

Most Disappointing Story Arcs
Apocalypse: The Twelve.
The seeds for this storyline began way back in the mid 1980's when Master Mold referred to Cyclops as one of the “strong twelve,†who must be killed. When MM fused with Nimrod, again he refers to the Outback X-Men as the Twelve before he was sent through the Siege Perilous.
Who were the twelve, and why were they targeted for termination?
Quoted in Power Pack, MM said:
"The dozen mutant humans who will one day rise up and lead all of mutantkind in war against homo sapiens in the twilight of Earth."
There seemingly was going to be an apocalyptic battle leading to a Days of Future Past type of scenario where The Twelve were going to battle mankind and sentinels. Sounds pretty cool, right?
What did we get instead?
The prophecy of The Twelve was made up by Apocalypse so he could kidnap them and use them in a machine to grant himself omnipotent powers. Oh, and Wolvie was his new "Death" and Cyclops wound up possessed by Apocalypse.

Whilce Portacio & Jim Lee made the 90's Jean Grey outfit work. http://www.geocities.com/jeanxlogan/jean.jpg http://images4.wikia.nocookie.net/marveldatabase/images/thumb/a/af/Uncanny_X-Men_281.jpg/300px-Uncanny_X-Men_281.jpg I hated Rogue and Colossus' outfits pre-Mutant Massacre. http://goodcomics....
I thought Havok led them the whole way after Storm went afk. He was all busy-body on the rest of the X-Men, having them under video surveillance and shit. At the end of that arc, it was Colossus, Dazzler, Psylocke and Havok who were the last to depart through the Siege Perilous, right? Afterwards, W...

Since I've been on my own, I have moved six times in twelve years. That's including when I moved to Ohio for half a year and came crawling back. I never had much stuff until I got married. It was pretty much just my clothes, computer, comics and bed. Now I have furniture, dishes, linens, china cabin...

I see no reason to separate them, keep them all together. Usually they are sorted by company which doesn't really bother me, but horrible selections do bother me. I want a nice, huge selection but only get a small sampling =o/ If I'm looking for a Graphic Novel, I do not want regular books and mang...

Walking is my exercise of choice but I have given some thought to running. Any runners here have any advice for beginners? Wolf is right: The proper pair of shoes helps tremendously. Avoid cross-trainers/walking shoes. You need shoes that are specifically designed to cushion the impact on your feet...
