Really? Emma can block Charles’ power? Even though since he regained it in the M’Kraan crystal he’s supposed to be more powerful than ever? And she was never nearly as powerful as him to begin with? Huh. How ’bout that?

Well he was gone for a long time withno powers, she could have gotten stronger,and well if he is more powerful now, does not mean taht while he was gone she did not get more powerful than him… or maybe she caught him off guard and that’s all she needed.

I mean, she is GOOD at what she does.

also…. the x-men are stupid, why are they defending him, it was his choice to leave. not thiers

no…the bottom line is NO, Emma is not that powerful…

god damn it,……I am so sick of Marvel stuffing her up our damn noses with eight million new things she can do to make her look better than everyone else. Nobody else can have any spotlight if Emma’s in the damn room……

Jesus, next she will be able to cure cancer, identify the gunman on the grassy knoll, and eradicate gingivitis.

give me a god damn break.

I think eradicating gingivitis is one of Sage’s powers…

While it’s true that Charles did regain his powers {in which was made stronger by the M’kraan Crystal}; still he hasn’t had as much time to practice his control over them unlike Emma has with her psi-powers…..

As to why the X-men are defending Charles, it can be summed up to one word……Loyalty.

Guys I interpreted the scene a little differently. Emma can block Charlie, but Charlie can get past that block, if he wants, but not without hurting Emma.

It’s similar to the way I can block my brother from entering a room, but he can probably force his way past me if he wanted to, just not without hurting me.

To be honest, I’m actually liking the mini. It’s Hulk versus the X-Men, but with a few nice character moments.

Makes sense to me. They are both alpha telepaths and she is both powerful and skilled, and she was generally the #2 telapth compared to Xavier until Jean and her kids got the Pheonix. She can definately make him defeat her before allowing him to control her teammates. He can defeat her, but for the moment she blocked him.

But why are they all fighting Hulk one at a time?

Justin July 13th, 2007

I have no problem with Emma blocking Charles. It seems like he was going to telepathically make the X-Men let him go, and Emma shielded the X-Men from that.

And actually, when Emma possessed Iceman, Xavier tried to read Iceman’s thoughts and he said he couldn’t, there was considerable interference from Emma Frost. So Emma has blocked Charles BEFORE, in continuity.

As for why they are all fighting him one at a time, because if the X-men all piled on him at once, the Hulk would go down. If Wolverine and Colossus fought him physically, Emma and Charles could combine their psionic powers to take him down. Of course, then there wouldn’t be much of a fight, so the issue would be short.

The Astonishing Line up of X-Men isn’t the most powerful. Too bad Rogue, Havok (who drained the Hulk’s powers out of him before), Polaris (who could disrupt the radiation within the Hulk), Marvel Girl, etc aren’t around.

Draining the Hulk power no longer works. Thats why Stark Nanites Did nothing. The Gama Energy Now make up part of The Hulks DNA . Meaning he’s more a energy creature and when that energy was tested by shield it was found to be Infinite. So he can not be drained any more. Before that happened before The gama power bonded Havac tried it and nearly die if you remember.

Still, it is a bit silly. The X-men really should be able to take out the Hulk. Charlie and Emma should be able to switch the guy off. All anybody else would just have to make sure that the Hulk doesn’t get near them.

And really, given Cyclops power levels, he really should be able to knock the Hulk back at the very least when attacking at full power. He’s an Alpha level mutant. Getting attacked by the full force of any Alpha level mutant should affect anybody bar Galactus.

Don’t get me wrong, I like the whole Hulk Smash Marvel Universe idea, but they’re going to need to establish the limitations of his power at some point. If they’re planning on keeping him on lil blue, they’re going to need to depower him a lot.

Dude, as long as Emma Frost doesn’t defeat the Silver Surfer by putting him/it in a headlock, then she’s far from overpowered.

What peeves me off is that Kitty could literally end this fight in seconds. She doesn’t even have to sacrifice a limb like she did in that stupid What if…? awhile back. All she really needs to do is find some extra big chunk of metal and leave it in the Hulk’s brain.

Anyway, does this happen before, or after, Whedon’s Astonishing?

World War Hulk X-men is stupid!!! Why would Cyclops full optic blast doesn’t have any effect on the Hulk?

Cyclops non full powered blasts can crack Onslaught’s armor and knock him down!!! So why is Hulk not even brutally hurt by Cyclops optic blast’s???

Is Hulk skin as hard as Onslaught now??? Then if that is the case then nothing should/could harm him!!!

Or Is this another one of Emo Hulk Power’s??? To be only hurt by the popular Wolverine???

Let’s all just agree that Scott never got to full power. You know, with Charles being a huge distraction and all.

This is what doesnt make me want to read WWH, I mean every tie in is like this right, the hulk comes back to earth and beats the crap out of everybody, I think Marvel might have made him too powerful.I mean they could make him more Juggernaut like, hard to stop but stoppable instead of freaking invincible.

Guys, trust me I am a VERY big cyclops fan but there are two things you have to keep in mind:

1) This is the Hulk who stood up to Black Bolt, who is angrier then he’s ever been before, It’s not that unbelivable that he’s resisting Cyke’s blasts.

2) Even if Cyclops did say he’s going full power, he’s still not releasing all his energy. I believe it was in one of the Civil War X-men issues where it was established that Cyke had a mental block or something that prevented him from releasing all his power.

domino July 23rd, 2007

two mental blocks actually…..those are Emma’s ‘left’ and ‘right’.

Avatar

thegrayone July 24th, 2007

lol…By now you guys understand if you read the whole thing…Hulk is like super mad and and the madder he gets, the stonger he gets. And that goes for his healing factor and skinn and mental stated as well. I remember one time Hulk was fighting the Blob, he was just standing there, letting the Blob hit him and hit him and then he said “the more u hit me, the madder I ge” and u guys know the rest of the line.
What Iron Man injected into the Hulk was a blank, switched by Hardball, but not even that would have had stopped the Hulk.
We all know how marvel messes up all the time. The first time that Hulk and Wolvie fought, Hulk couldn’t hit him and he finally did, it was just a little graze and Wolvie got knocked out. Now, Wolvie gets knocked all the way to Boston from NY and gets right back up. It all depends who is writing and who the spot light is on.
Casandra Nova couldn’t control Logan in rage mode and Enma do it all the time…what a fraud….
Every body gets better and better but wolvie, who got knocked out by Capitan America with one punch…please….

Man a lot of you are retarded, the hulk has no upper level of strength and psychic attacks have no affect on him when he is pissed off, if you would’ve saw the first issue xavier tried and it did shit. As well as past issues, When the hulk is so pissed of nothing can hurt his mind. His body becomes immune to what has affected him before, including mind control (remember when he beat the shit out of Onslaught). Also I need to mention the no upper level of strength thing again also because Cyclop’s optic blast won’t do shit on that kind of level of strength, as well as the fact that the Hulk is at super man level strength, which don’t get me wrong is ridiculous but still true, at this moment only the sentry could beat the hulk.

any of the x-men “seniors” could find a way to beat the hulk. hulk is not invincible, no amount of super strength makes you invulnerable.colossus could punch holes into the hulk or break his neck and rip his head off. wolverine could easily cut hulks head off. if both strong guy and warpath fought hulk at the same time they should defeat him…this is a comic book and the creators of wwh were trying to create an epic story and if the hulk was defeated too early it would not be epic. know what though? i am so sick of colossus being a stepping stone to show how powerfull someone else is
