Reply to TIL Stan Lee made the X-Men mutants because he didn't want to come up with a reason for their super powers, instead they were just born with them. Additionally the 1963 comic was initially a flop until the 1975 reboot by Len Wein and Dave Cockrum. by jamescookenotthatone
There's an excellent r/HobbyDrama about Perlmutter trying to replace the X-Men in Marvel with the inhumans.

The X-Men movies did start to get better. And Logan is fantastic.

My cousin had 2 subscriptions to spider-man and X-Men. One to read, one to collect. He would buy and sub, then unsub other books, but in the 90s, those 2 were king.
If there was a good story line, he'd put a stack of them in front of my brother, and I would read them as he finished.
X-Men were always crazy stories. The brood, Phoenix, people breaking off to join X-Force, X-Factor, eXcalibur.
And he always called everyone "Bub".

Shit. I lived in Miami. We didn't have this. Just a lot of dudes in white linen pants.

I lived in Dayton and don't remember this.
I don't remember a ton of living on Dayton though. First in flight!

Brew Through? I've used them in Myrtle Beach, SC and (I think) Pensacola, FL).
Some have funny rules. Like, if there is a lid on it, it's not an "open" container. Or better, they put the straw in, but tear 90% of the paper off.
Most people just get a case or 2 of beer, and pop the trunk on the way to beach week.
The most fun part is thinking of people spending years of their lives inhaling exhaust fumes. Thank God there are fewer diesels...

The worst part is, I thought her did good in that. I don't want to see it again, but it was a good film.
