Seriously, when did they become such a bunch of whiny alpha-pricks?

I suppose it began when Cyke started questioning Xavier, which ofc is natural as one grows up, then over the years the garbage the mutants have had to put up with just keeps piling up making most of them into cynics or worse.

The X-Men have never been jerks or pricks. The biggest dicks in the comics are the Avengers. Showing up at Utopia with a army and demanding law over the X-Men and Mutant race, when they never care before.

The only X-Men that have been jerks are Cyclops and Wolverine. Beast, Kitty and Rachel have had their moments and so has Emma Frost. Namor was the biggest dick in the X-Men comics. He not a real X-Men though.

Marvel destroy the X-Men franchise, when they stop being a family and getting rid of Jean and Charles didn't help matters.

What brought this about?

September, 1963.

you wouldn't be all rainbows and sunshine either if most of the world hated you for existing, especially when there are multiple groups of people with powers who are praised constantly and indeed have government sponsorship, while your group has stuff thrown at them and people marching with hate signs

plus there was the massive genocide and Genosha. And the multiple attempts to finish off the diminished race after M-Day. Also doesn't help the government itself has its own sentinels.

Well in all honesty, there are a lot of Marvel characters that I would call Jerks. Doesn't mean I don't like those characters :p

wasnt scott always a jerk?

Around the time Wheadon got his paws on 'em.

When they stopped having good writers.

Bring this to another forum

@darthphoenix: Why? It's X-Men related.

It was before that. It was Grant Morrison who turn him into the biggest jerk

The X-Men aren't the jerks...

Blame the writers...

forgotten again </3

He was a jerk waaaaay before that, if anything Grant Morrison made him look somewhat sympathetic in his jerkyness :p. He's still awesome though

@thecheesestabber: Hey Cheese, whats up?

When they started getting bad writers.

You've forgotten me >...>

@thecheesestabber: Wont happen again.

@waezi2: lies

Uh....what do you mean by jerks?

I see a marriage thread coming. If so, Waezi2 can I be the best man?

@humanrocket: We've already discussed marriage

I'm gonna need a shoulder to cry on, so sure.

We have?!

You forgot ....</3

Not only do I offer free therapy sessions right here, but I'm also offering couple therapy sessions.

My first advice is free. Cheesestabber is crazy and Waezi2 is always right.
