(Weapon X 2017, issues #7 + #18)

parallel i just noticed..hes not saying that to logan in a mocking way, hes just repeating the mantra he says to himself in order to survive.

god i fucking love this series. like. theyre foils, why tf wouldnt vic also have the ‘im the best at what i do’ thing too?

for logan, he doesnt really understand what it is he does best. like he kinda does, the ‘not very nice’ stuff, but he questions if thats really what his ‘best’ is meant to be. its just what everyone else sees as his best.

for vic, hes always seen the not very nice stuff as his best. and he craves for other people to see how good he is at it. he knows thats what people see him as, and yet, he’d rather have praise for it. if hes gonna be seen as bad no matter what, he might as well strive be better than everyone else at it.

he doesnt consider what other things he could be the best at.

in issue 18, even after getting to the top, he still feels doubts about himself….

but by the end of the issue, after saving n helping out omega red, he realizes what hes really the best at-

its similar to logans realization when he first joined the xmen, except hes already got the confidence from the start, while logan has to fight to believe it. from this moment on in the series, its like a switch finally flipped in his brain, properly seeing his ‘inverted’ arc for what it is. even tho he’s been fighting to show he could be the good guy, he never really fully let himself mentally step into that territory till now.

and logans the only person during his entire arc to see him that way(have i mentioned that? i feel like ive said that a million times)
