I surely will. And Chapter Fourteen is up, finally. And do me a favor and disregard the fact that Liam has now chosen himself a team of women. That was actually unintentional. Just worked out that way. And for future reference, one of his choices won't be making it onto the team.

Nope. He's still the leader of the New X-Men. Liam's not gonna take that from him to make him play second banana

I just like saying "second banana". Heh. Second banana.

And he wouldn't be an actual "second banana" in the strictest sense. He and Liam would clash too often to work together effectively. I didn't like Julian at first, but I think I've come to respect him. He's a leader, and having him take the second spot would be a disservice, I think.

So...I got this review on my FanFiction.net page, for Becoming X. I'm not exactly sure what to make of it...

"Well I’m pretty sure it was only after WWII their numbers swelled to be
known to the public sure their were top secret government and sueprvillains
and secret societies and what not but if from there or the current time in
five generations they’d replace normal humans in numbers if not for the acts
of mass murder against them, there is Apocalypse and Selene who was born in
fifteen thousand BC

However, most mutants despite the X-men and their sub groups and their
villains, in universe have extremely lame powers and could not possibly be
threat which is not to say those who have powers that are not directly
offensive or defensive should be belittled and could probably with enough
creativity be very useful in other areas, now it’s not just a threat level
but potential threat (they will replace normal humans in numbers without mass
murder) or normal stupid bigotry and those who steal their organs for
transplant and powers as well as the drug mutant growth hormone and sure there
are those mutants who use that on themselves humanely to be drug dealers

Logan didn’t want Laura on X-Force because he thought she’d become X-23
and stop being Laura but she insisted

I will always prefer villains who at least have a point and frighteningly may
even be right about everyone being better off under their benevolent
dictatorship (of course make education great so the common man does know what
is best for him and his children's children and democratic republicanism can
work) when Dr. Doom took over the world he fixed a lot of problems, ran it
better than most governments could ever hope to manage to the point that the
world was almost a paradise under his boot heel, of course he found the actual
job of ruling the world to be so boring he let the revolution win, Doom would
rather be conqueror than a desk jockey, of course he’s still a villain in
the purest sense of the word, he’d eat a newborn’s head in front of his
mother if it would somehow prove he’s smarter than Reed

A lot of villains seem unaware that if they used their mind and/or other
talents for legitimate business causes or the government could be far more
profitable than any crime spree

Of course vigilantes can be sanctimonious hypocrites judging others and
letting themselves go unscrutinized condemning others when they do the same
thing for less reasons I think it is disgusting they don't share their
scientific breakthroughs (of course the inventors should be well compensated)
with the scientific specifically medical community or their skills with law
enforcement agencies far more good than beating up thugs and psychos fight
crime at its source ignorance and poverty. I realize due to rarity and
complexity mass production may not always be possible or at least cost
effective and due to difficulty not all could take brutal training but a
little bit could go a very, very long way. The ability to think of future
generation when calculating pragmatic utilitarianism is what separates us from
the animals. The world is not the way it is because of thugs and psychopaths
but because most people are too stupid to know what is best for them the
extreme left and extreme right get caught up in their ideals and refuse to
acknowledge brutal facts of reality no real world understanding of the extreme
complexities of politics, economics, technological logistics, and how
they’re all interconnected in the long run. People want everything right
here right now the whole world just handed to them on a silver platter think
just by complaining something will happen without a tangible plan. Such a plan
will require a lot of long, hard, boring work all day every day for
generations.

Have you heard of The Boys

Julian and Laura forever"


Um...So not a good job? Is that right? I think he (or she) was trying to give me a socioeconomic lesson in the Marvel Universe. I think he (or she) thinks I'm trying to set Liam up to take over the world. And maybe this person doesn't understand the concept of Alternate Universes. And of course, it's anonymous, so I can't even reply. Hm. Color me puzzled.

Honestly i got no idea how you managed to evoke such a reply.
Your last chapter dealt with Liam's pov on the super hero world and how he feels he needs to take out the bad elements that could prove lethal asap. Something the guy/gal who gave the reply does not support I believe.

I think the person likes your story, and had a awesome spectacular brain fart moment when he/she posted this.

that or he/she doesn't like Liam shagging Laura.

Yeah. I did get that last part. "Julian and Laura Forever" pretty much says it all.

The thing is though, i dont think the reviewer read your previous series.
Boy would he/she have a fit with you detailing every move and trust haha.....yes i'm a horrible man, shut up.

Dont pay attention to it though, it's your story but like you said your charectures could have a totally different mind set then your own.
