The other night, I found myself opening another Marvel Legends 10 Angel.  Actually, I was opening another entire set of ML 10 - I've been amassing an army of the Build-A-Figure Sentinel that comes with the individual pieces of ML 10.

Anyways, as I was pulling Angel loose from his packaging, I noticed the huge ball-jointed shoulders that are overemphasized by the shoulder hinges that have been popular in the Spider-Man Classics and Marvel Legends series.  Since I had already corrected this when I customized Deadpool, I figured I'd get some practice in with this figure.  I threw in a couple of additional modifications along the way.

I remember looking at one of my brother's comics when I was a kid.  There was this team of super-powered beings being led by some chick with a mohawk.  And she didn't have any powers of her own.

Back then, I thought it was weird.  I didn't like the mohawk, and when I saw what she looked like before, I wondered why anyone would do that to herself.  Now, I'm older and wiser.  I look back at those classic X-Men comics, and realize that while she had lost her mutant abilities, Storm still had the power of badassitude.  I had to make one.

For those of you that know my taste in comics, this custom may come as a surprise.  You see, I hate Cable.  I hate him, and all of those time-travelling freaks that got spawned in the X-Men Proliferation Crisis of the 90's.

So why this custom?  I guess my tiny lump of coal that passes for a heart in my chest is actually starting to warm up to Cable, after over a decade of hatred.  It's actually Deadpool's fault.  I've been reading and enjoying the Cable & Deadpool comic series.  At first, just for Deadpool.  With the most recent stuff, Cable too.

So, don't hate me for my fickle nature - I hate myself enough already.
