Jay & Miles X-Plain the X-Men

461 – Things to Do in Denver When You’re X-Force

In which Magneto may be right but is also wildly impractical; X-Force goes on a sneaking mission; Magneto isn’t mad, he’s just disappointed; Rictor and Shatterstar return; Strong is not a common surname in the Marvel universe; and being a mutant on TV doesn’t mean you’re one in the comics.

  • X-Force 94-95

  • Freddie
  • Michelle Balters (Neurotap) (more) (again)
  • Communication with X-teams
