Uncanny X-Men: Maddy and Lockheed
Another one of my favorite Lockheed scenes from the Claremont/Smith era. Scans from UXM #173.

It's not too late, Maddy. Run. RUN!

And for no reason at all, Wolverine's single emo mantear:

	A miko is a bridesmaid? And here I thought they were demon killing, god summoning, arrow shooting warriors. Damn anime has led me astray again. Poor Maddy. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	I love this scene for two reasons. 1. A normal person's reaction to the world that the X-folk live in. 2. Logan gives us comic book's MOST SINGLE PERFECT EMO MAN-TEAR! (Reply to this)

	I'm awaiting an image of Wolverine crying Kenshiro-style MAN-TEARS. He's been in Japan long enough to pic 'em up. (Reply to this)

	I don't know why, but the fact that Kitty apparently has a wig (at least I assume?) just for this occasion is making me crack up. And, aw, Maddy. SERIOUSLY FUCKING RUN CHEESE IT CHEESE IT. (Reply to this) (Thread)

It seems a bit unlikely but it wouldn't be impossible. In most case if a Japanese bride is wearing a traditional wedding costume these days she's also wearing a wig given that most women don't have enough hair for a traditional bridal hairdo. So it wouldn't be hard to hunt a wig for Kitty at whatever kimono rental place they used. Of course if they actually had her dressed up as a miko they'd have her in a white kimono and red hakama skirt, not a pink kimono like that, and miko don't wear their hair like that.

I would love to know all the stuff that went on behind the scenes after they decided to bring Jean back. I never got any sort of impression reading her appearances up to X Factor 1 or so that they ever intended Maddy to be anything but someone who looked like Jean so Scott could have a happy ending.

	I think in early discussions it was going to be MADDY in X-Factor. But then they decided to bring Jean back.... (Reply to this) (Parent)

	bruinsfan 2009-09-21 03:32 am UTC (link)
	Well, there was the incredible coincidence that she had some sort of "natural" immunity to Xavier's telepathy so he couldn't read her mind and reassure Scott that there was no link between her and Jean... (Reply to this) (Parent)

	I've no idea why, but Wolverine's little tear cracks me up. Maybe because it's so far from his eye. It's like the bags under his eye is crying. That's how upset Wolverine is. (Reply to this)

	It's scenes like this that make me appreciate the comic medium. It wouldn't work in printed word and it wouldn't be as funny as a motion picture. (Reply to this)
