Because it's about time someone did!
FMKI: X-Men version
Oh, hi.
I'v been working on the past few weeks on a something, specially for this forum...
So basically it's the popular game: frag, marry, kill or ignore, only with X-men characters.
The premise is simple: You enter the link to the X-Generator and click the button. You get 4 randomly picked X-related characters. Then you choose which one to frag (or hang out with, for those who don't like these kind of things), which one to marry, which one to kill and which one to ignore. Then you type down your selections and reasoning behind it and post it here so we could all share the love and hate.
Simple, right?
A small note before you start: I tried to squeeze in as many X-related characters as I could, but if you want to see all the options you can always rightclick on the generator page and see the full list on the source. Let me know of other characters you think that should be included and I'll update them in. Oh, and you shouldn't make more then one entry a day. Trust me. It can be very addictive...
That said, here is an example - my first entry:
N'astirh Donald Pierce Berzerker Harvey and Janet
Funny. I wanted to save Harvey and Janet as an easter egg but I guess that's out of the basket now. So I will:
Fuck Harvey and Janet. Cause they're nice and might be open about this sort of things. Marry N'astirh against my better judgment. Because I like him and I think he's an underrated character and villain, and I even wanted to open a thread about it to show him some love. Guess who's just lost his soul now? Ignore Berzerker cause... I mean - it's Berzerker. Right? :/ Kill Donald Pierce, obviously. He's the worst.
Have fun :)




Sauron, Cameron Hodge, Mr. Sinister, Shinobi Shaw
Wow, I've got some... interesting choices to make.
F- I guess Shinobi? I had to google him, but I really don't want any of the others.
M- Sauron. Hey, if I'm going to spend my life with a supervillain, it may as well be the one doing delightfully ridiculous science! I like dinosaurs!
K- Cameron Hodge. He's the worst.
I- Mr. Sinister, but this somehow plays into his hands. Or possibly he's secretly me all along.
This also doubles as a team-lineup generator!
Storm, Mystique, Sunspot, Legion
Well then.
F - Mystique because that seems like that would be a unique experience and I can't really resist the idea.
M - Storm. Without a question. Every day and twice on Sundays if I could.
K - It isn't his fault but Legion. There is just something about him that has always freaked me out in a serious way.
I - Sunspot. I mean, it seems only fitting.
You got a pretty A-list group there!
I was pretty happy with it!
Corsair Cyclops Hope Summers Cable
....... What did I ever do to you, random generator? Why would you do this to me?
Wow, four generations of Summerses.
F: Corsair, because he's that type of dude.
K: If I have to kill one of these, it's Cable. He's lived a long full life already. And he'll just come back using some time travel BS anyway, right?
M: Hope, because Cyclops's track record as a spouse is really not good.
I: Cyclops, by process of elimination.
I got:
Which is to say: a bad case of choice paralysis, because at least one of my answers depends heavily on where in the timeline they're being pulled from.
(Overthinking FMK because continuity: The Jay Edidin Story.)
The only thing for sure is that Gatecrasher CANNOT BE IGNORED.
This is a no-win scenario. Slumber party Kobayashi Maru.
Basically, all my answers hinge on whether Frenzy is pre or post-Age of X.
If you fuck or kill her, you get to choose. If you marry her, you're with her for both.
=(
I had this problem when I got into placing Mimic. At first I put both Mimic 616 and Exiles Mimic, cause they are so different they almost not the same character, then I figured I should do the same for Sunfire. And Blink. And finally I realised there is more then one variation for every single Marvel character exist! Not including different phase of every character. So my answer to you, Jay, is either use the most up-to-date version of a character or - better yet - the one you feel like picking. Or as the great moral bestowed from Cyclops upon Dracula...
Sabretooth Madelyne Pryor (Goblin Queen) Angel (warren worthington iii) Bastion
Honestly not seeing a lot of marriage material here...
Ignoring Bastion because I've done so pretty successfully up to this point.
Kill Sabretooth because party game fiat is pretty much the only way to make that happen.
Fuck Angel, because if you marry Angel you're also marrying Archangel and NO WAY.
Marry Madelyne Pryor. I'm not gonna look too good in that torn-up thong thing, but I guess it's Goblin Kingship for me.
"Garth, marriage is punishment for shoplifting in some countries!"
You got sandbagged with a lot of crazy in here. Sincerest apologies.
Nice idea. I'll play...
I got Bolivar Trask, Iceman, Professor X, and Synch. All of whom are dudes, so I will imagine myself to be bisexual for purposes of this game.
Kill Trask, obviously. Preferably after going back in time so I could kill him before he invented Sentinels, but regardless, kill him.
Fuck the Professor, because sex with a telepath could actually be really interesting and is surely worth a try, but being married to a manipulative telepath would be the worst.
Marry Iceman, because he's basically a good dude even though we're not soulmates and we are definitely not getting a joint checking account or credit card.
Ignore Synch because I've never read a comic with him in it.
I have been out of the loop for X-men past the late 80s, which was when I stopped collecting the trades, so it took a bit to get a group I knew:
F - Wolverine (Laura Kinney) [in the Ace-friendly, "hang out with" variety of F] - Laura is great, and I would totally hang out with her, if I had the chance. But as far as Marry, it so obviously wouldn't work, and Kill and Ignore are out of the question.
M - Warlock - I've always connected most with Doug Ramsey when reading New Mutants. This one only makes sense.
K - Mojo - Because of the four, this one is obvious
I - Legion - Not his fault, but by process of elimination, as well as not wanting to risk dealing with Jack, I is the pick here
Mimic, Broo, Scarlet Witch, Transonic.
Well I can't Ignore or Kill any of the young X-men because there is so much possibilities and they have a history of dieing/disappearing for no reasone.
So between Fucking Broo or Transonic i'll have to go with Transonic but we will probably just hang out together. which means i will marry Broo and i'm fine with that :)
Now Scarlet Witch i would kill because even with my love for continuity and wierdness her history is way to much for a my puny brain to comprehend :P
And i'll Ignore Mimic because for some reason him doing carzy shit with every mutant power ever and me + everyone ignoring him is realy hilarious to me.
Lol I got on odd group
Rockslide-marry- under that rough exterior (pun intended) he really is a sweetheart :)
Cyclops-fuck- most efficient fuck of my life, I'm sure
Ch'od- Ignore- almost said marry, but, while I am a sucker for that space pirate vernacular, I just can't take the traveling husband life
Boliver Trask -Kill, just for the good of everyone
Erik the Red, Namor, Ramrod, N'astirh
F:Namor. Those abs. DUH.
M: Erik the Red because you never know who it'll be and a marrige could use spice.(Does this count as polyamoury?)
K: N'astirsh: I wouldn't do him and I've always wanted to adopt, but I don't need my babies to be kidnapped. Plus, if he has friends over, they might eat the kids. So, kill.
I: Ramrod. I honestly can't remember who that is.
Today bunch is:
Wolverine (james howlett)
Dr. Peter Corbeau
Mojo
Apocalypse
I kinda want to both fuck and merry Wolverine, as Dr. Corbeau is too perfect in my taste. I need them to be even slightly damaged...
Ok, so let's start with killing Mojo. Because he's fat.
No, I'm kidding. Because he's a murderous psycopath creep and he makes me nervous.
I'll merry Wolverine because I think he's actualy a great spouse material. Loyal and tender and all of that. Poor guy...
I'll fuck Dr. Corbeau. But not because I want to... Only I preffer him instead of Apocalypse.
And I'll ignore Apocalypse. I'm sure that will make him mad.
Donald Pierce, Mortis, Firestar, Shadow King
Erg, two total asshat dudes with no redeeming qualities and two women who are pretty cool but could kill me with a single touch if they wanted to (or just lost grip of their powers for even an instant).
F— Mortis. She's cool, we could hang out and be angsty and enjoy each others company. I worry than anything long term and serious, though, we'd have a dumb fight over what to watch on Netflix and she'd just zap me to instant death.
M— Firestar. Total sweetie, wonderful history, lots of cool stories. I feel like one could spend a lot of time with her without ever getting bored.
K— Donald Pierce. All Reavers must die.
I— Shadow King. Because I can't imagine anything upsetting that psychic tool more than going "lalala, I can't hear you, lalala, going over here now".
Oh jeez. Wow. This is a terrible group: Slipstream, Zero (Kenji Uedo), Azazel, D'ken. Ouch. Ouch. Can I just kill 'em all? Sigh. All right.
F: Slipstream, I guess. He's not as hunky as I think we're supposed to think, but he's not bad-looking, I suppose. M: D'Ken. Because I may as well marry into royalty, right? K: Azazel. Kill him. Kill him so dead. Kill him so hard his very existence is wiped from history. Not just kill him, but ret-con him. Go back in time and prevent Chuck Austen from creating the character in the first place. That's how much I will kill him. I: Kenji. Instead, I will just rewatch Akira.
This is great. I can, and probably will, play this all night at work now.
Artie Maddicks: By Artie's physical nature, and my moral nature, I can't FM or K him, so Ignore is the easy option.
Lifeguard: Talk about meant to be. I was a beach lifeguard for about 12 summers, my first girlfriend was a Heather, and have loved loved LOVED Lifeguard since I discovered her upon my re-entry to the X-verse about 12 years ago. I would take a bullet to save the issue of her first appearance. Hell, I would take a bullet for her eighth appearance. So if she were the reals, nuptuals would be in order. We'd fit like a glove, taking long walks on the beach and through Shi'Ar airspace. Marry, for sure.
Gaza: Does this really need explanation. Rusty Trombone? More like Rusty Orchestra. So. Many. Arms.
Gideon: He's a bad guy, and bad guys get killed.
Oof, yeah-- @Ray, if you're open to edits, I would probably either pull out the underage characters or add a very visible warning.
Oy. I didn't really think about it. Good thing I didn't include Butter Rum, I guess... I'll pull out Artie and Leech. Although I did say in the introduction to the rules that you can choose to hang out with the character (as in going on a roadtrip together, or watching a movie) instead of the regular version.
"Good thing I didn't include Butter Rum, I guess..."
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA (yes that is probably a good call)
Well, I got: Bird Brain, Callisto, Mariko Yashida, Senyaka.
Full disclosure: before my decisions, I had to Google Senyaka.
F - Callisto. I'm struggling with my wording here -- I guess I made this choice because I think it would be intensely memorable.
M - Mariko Yashida. Just to rub it in Logan's face.
K: Senyaka. Mutant supervillain? Acolyte? Hangs out with Fabian Cortez? Three strikes and you're out.
I - Bird Brain. Much as I did until the podcast covered his story leading up to Fall of the Mutants.
OK. My group is Fabian Cortez, Zelda, Callisto, Mystique.
F: Mystique. Because Callisto would probably kill me. M: Zelda. She was just always really nice. She was a sweetheart. She'd be the woman who drags you along for nice evenings out when you need them, but who also cuddles up with you on the couch to watch movies. She's fun, and she's got a clever wit, but not a harsh one. Yeah, I would totally marry Zelda. K: Cortez. Obviously. Always kill Cortez. I: By simple default, really. She's awesome. I like her a lot. But she would destroy me in bed, and she's not the kind of woman I would want to marry.
