    I have just read World War Hulk: X-Men which concludes with a weeping Mercury emotionally pointing to the graves of her dead teammates/friends and reminding an angry Hulk that he is inflicting the same anguish on her and the other X-Men that was(albeit unwittingly) visited upon Sakaar and its people(including Hulk personally, hiw wife and queen Caiera was pregnant with their first child) by the Illuminati when they chose to exile him to deep space.

    I think it was one of the most moving speeches I have read to date in a comic book; Mercury's words cut deeper than Wolverine or X-23's adamantium claws ever did.

    What do YOU think?

    There were a lot of moving speeches made over the years. It's one of the reasons why I love the X-Men. Mercury's was no exception.

    True, Mercury is not an orator by profession- she is "just a kid"- but often the most moving speeches come from the heart( assuming Mercury can be said to have a heart given that her body -and its organs by implications- have turned into some form of living liquid metal)!

    Ill always call Cess the metal girl with a heart of gold.. she is very passionate and empathic of everything.. the Hulk is just one of the people she chewed down with words.. I heard alot of emotional speeches in comics but there usually moralizing ones from a person with little connection to what they are saying or having a very poor grasps of everyone view ( Billy Kaplan im looking at you now you dim wit) Cessily however I could really feel the emotional connection between her words and the honesty behind them.. its why I think shes one of the most beautiful characters out there.
