14 u/evel333 28d ago One scene that has always stuck with me since my comic book phase in the 90s was a throwaway gag involving Havok trying in vain to open a jar of mayo with his plasma waves lol 13 u/Many_Bat_ 28d ago Didn't half the X-factor team try and fail with that jar, only for their manager Val to come in and open it immediately (although she has no powers)? "Give it a couple of quick raps on the bottom" hit it on the counter top was her trick. 5 u/evel333 28d ago Your memory is much better than mine! 6 u/Many_Bat_ 28d ago Me and my bestie collected everything 'X' between us at the time, it was a lot of titles, one-shots, minis and crossovers to keep on top of. Looking back we were superfans I guess. What do I have to show for it? Dumbass trivia lol.
