[QUOTE]Originally posted by Jason Abbadon: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Nim: [qb] There was an episode many years ago that had him fighting in WWII. And the new mini series "Origins" had him starting off as a teenager in the 1890's, if I'm not mistaken. I think "centuries" is a bit much, though. [/qb][/QUOTE]That was DEFINITELY one of comics worst stories despie incredible Jim Lee artwork! In that story Wolverine, The Black Widow (as a young girl) and captain America team up to stop Baron Strucker and HYDRA from joining forces with the Hand ninjas. First, someone really should have pointed out to Claremont that his story is set a few months [b]before[/b] the Pearl Harbor attack!!!!!!! There would have been NO Captain America BEFORE WWII started (as per every Cap story ever written)! He really makes a point of saying that WWII is "a few months away" during the story and they need to prevent this alliance now! Ug. What a moron. Next, this story puts the Black widow at close to 70 years old by current times (she's lookin' hot for a 70 year old human in the Avengers) and last time I checked, her only time-defying healing factor was "Max Factor". ;) Lastly HYDRA was formed after WWII by nazi war crimminals into a terrorist organization: Strucker was a SS Comandant IIRC. Skip this story unless you want to develop instant pathological hatred for Chris Claremont. He's a [b]good [/b] writer overall, but he was burnt out on "X-Everything" that Marvel was tryng to milk sales with back then and those were the last X-books he'd write for a few years. [/QB][/QUOTE]
