002: [Video]

[Victor looks a little annoyed when he turns on his console tonight. Behind him, the view of his suite is blocked by some rock. A big, talking rock to be exact. Santo's right there behind him.]

Hey, everyone. I've got a question for everyone that's familiar with superheroes. It's about the costumes. They're an important thing to have, right? For a lot of reasons like protecting and hiding secret identities.

But this guy [He jerks a thumb over his shoulder at Santo.] just says they're stupid.

Don't get me wrong, the costumes are cool but that's about it. Wearing one just to hide your identity is what's stupid. You don't see Ms. Marvel, Iron Man, or Hawkeye worried about people knowing who they are. Hell, Luke Cage doesn't even wear a costume and he kicks all kinds of ass!

Besides, you don't see any X-Men hiding behind a mask.


[Victor just rolls his eyes.]

Lots of X-Men have worn masks. [He shakes his head.] So what do you guys think? Costumes important for superheroes or not?

The answer is obviously not.

[Victor doesn't even bother replying. He just gives Santo a look.]

It's kinda hard to hide who I am when I have white hair and kinda look like Quicksilver. A lot.

[zerotoawesome]

[Wait a minute... Wait a minute...]

Holy crap! You do look like Quicksilver! That's so weird.

[crotcharrow]

[God Santo you are slow.]

Uh yeah? He's my uncle.

[zerotoawesome]

[Hey, just be glad he knows that you're not the magic one anymore.]

That's kind of creepy, man. I mean, I guess he's not so bad and all, but that means Magneto is totally your grandfather.

[crotcharrow]

No shit.

[he's met him. He's actually a pretty nice guy. And Tommy is totally his favourite Grandson.]

[zerotoawesome]

Dude, I gotta ask... How awkward does that make Christmas?

[crotcharrow]

Uh, pretty awkward since he's Jewish.

[zerotoawesome]

Yeah, I'll bet it is... [Not saying anything about the Jewish part.] So like... Is he nice to you or something?

[crotcharrow]

He told me that I'm his favourite Grandson.

[zerotoawesome]

... Does that mean you're secretly evil?

[crotcharrow]

[He arches an eyebrow.]

Well, I have been to juvie.

[zerotoawesome]

Experience tells me that doesn't mean a whole lot.

Do you want to kill all humans?

[crotcharrow]

Not all of them.

[zerotoawesome]

[Stare...]

Okay, bad question since I feel that way sometimes. Do you want to rule over humans?

[crotcharrow]

Nah, I'm good.

[zerotoawesome]

Okay, then, we're cool. I can handle that.

[crotcharrow]

He's good now anyway.

[zerotoawesome]

For now anyway. I still don't trust the guy as far as I can throw him.

[crotcharrow]

Remind me again how many X-men are actually reformed super villains?

[zerotoawesome]

Not as many as you're thinking, and none with his kind of reputation.

[crotcharrow]

Still a lot of them worked on his side. Just saying.

[zerotoawesome]

And I didn't trust all of them that came after me right away either. They gotta earn that.

Maggy hasn't been an X-Man that long yet, and he has a lot to make up for. [Not to mention that even after joining, he found it entertaining to scare the younger mutants. Which may or may not have worked on Santo.]

[crotcharrow]

I'm not saying he doesn't. But s'far as I've seen, he's doing a better job at being a good guy than some other X-Men. And Avengers.
