Astonishing X-Men #1 (2017)

Uncanny X-Force continues to deliver

Fantomex finally having enough of being fake-nice is cathartic. My man has snapped.

And convincing baby Apocalypse that he's Superman is just a thing of beauty

"Times of crisis, fledgling sovereignty, and social upheaval produce the ideal conditions for the flourishing of bespoke rumor, innuendo, and propaganda; and the closing stage of the Hundred Years War is a case in point worthy of attentive analysis. Whispers of sorcery and treason against Valentina Visconti; Isabeau of Bavaria’s supposed wantonness and maternal negligence; Philippe the Bold’s mighty endeavors to secure the ascendancy of his House; his son Jean the Fearless’s effective spin as an honest broker and reforming duke despite his very dirty hands, notably his “justifiable” murder of his rival, the “tyrant” Louis of Orleans; the debunking of his defense (and the subsequent in kind retribution meted out to Burgundy by Orleans loyalists) are telling illustrations of pre-modern bespoke rumor, innuendo, and propaganda. Add to these Henry V’s God-sanctioned victory at Agincourt cast as just punishment for a transgressive France (which not only resonated with the French but validated the domestic English politicking of newly minted Lancastrian sovereignty); the initially successful delegitimization and disinheritance of the dauphin Charles with the Treaty of Troyes; the parallel golden myth/black legend of Joan of Arc (and her rehabilitation)—instances all of the ways in which rumor, propaganda, and innuendo were pressed into the service of those seeking traction at the end of the Hundred Years War."

There's something wrong with both Parz and his dad, but neither of them have the mental wherewithal to grasp it.

here's the Marvel Wikia page for my new canon character, Fantomex! He's basically a former assassin created by Weapon Plus, who ran away & decided to become a sexy thief (& lover of all things French)! Feel free to interact with him!

However. I am exceptionally straight for this quasi French quasi mutant three brained slut
