that he or she makes. As situations arise that must be dealt with, people have a duty to deal with those situations. In many ways, the act of living itself is an act of ultimate responsibility.

For thousands of years, men have desired to gain power over others so that they can accomplish their own goals. Thus, it has become human nature to desire power and control. Most often men would try to gain as much power they could possibly have by bending the rules or laws that have been put in place that would restrict them. If the rules and laws that kept the amount of power in balance were suddenly removed, the men would be the first to realize it. Their methods for obtaining more power…

Interview with former “abandoned” Kids Jack: Where do you live? Why? I live in London, because it’s nothing like that horrid island with death all over it. Plus, it’s where my job is. If you don’t mind me asking, what is your job? I’m the manager of Merridew Butchering Factory. When I was in that island 16 years ago, I was butchering pigs. I only did that because my father was a butcher and I wanted to be just like him. It’s a family business. (pauses) In that island I wanted to provide for…

bring X-Men back into the spotlight after years of constant neglect presumably stemmed by their lack of motion pictures rights. The one biggest complaint about Marvel right now is that their universe is too big and spinning out of control. Guggenheim brings X-Men: Gold back to the basics focusing on a team dynamic vs the regular people in New York. We get the sense of this trying to revert to the basics with a TV personality ranting about the X-Men. We start off with Kitty Pryde leading X-Men…

With the release of the film X-Men (2002), fans were able to see a new form of the X-Men as Professor Xavier fought for peace with while Magneto attempted to completely control human society thus making mutants superior. The 2008 publication of Grant Morrison’s New X-Men further exposed readers to a reinvented form of X-Men. The…

his desire to hide away from the world and saving a young girl who reminds him of himself, there are many implicit meanings that are incredibly relevant to the current political climate. This is not the first instance of political propaganda in the X-Men franchise; the comic book series…
