Presenting Part One of a Two-Part Epic! I wonder if Charles Xavier ever shared his hover-chair technology with the general public. It would certainly be a nice alternative to standard wheelchairs, after all. Or maybe he couldn't because it requires telepathic abilities to operate? Anyway, make sure you come back tomorrow for Part Two!
how many times has Nabu tried to take control of the Good Doctor,
ReplyDeletestill Dr. X ( how does he still gets called Professor when he doesn’t have a tenure given by an academic institution his doctorate doesn’t give that qualification running your own school doesn’t count ) maybe able to Help… and then could Doctor Fate still remember how to summon the spells…
Kent Nelson needs Xavier's help to keep Nabu from completely usurping his corporeal body? A strange fate, indeed!
ReplyDeleteI figure, the patent's expired and anyone could build one of those things if they're willing to spend $750,000 on it.
ReplyDeleteUh... isn't that the library from Beauty and the Beast?
ReplyDeleteDefinitely looks like it.
DeleteForge designed and built the wheelchair so it will be up to him, rather than Xavier, to share the technology.
ReplyDeleteAhh, at first, I thought Xavier was trying to take on Nabu directly. (That would be a messy battle, for Charles.) But in trying to protect, or reinforce Kent Nelson's psyche, I think I see where "the cure could be worse than the disease". Hmm...
ReplyDeleteAnd while the term "Professor X" could be just a nom de guerre, it could also still be an honorary title, given Xavier's research in mutants, along with his work with other big universities, and the government.
The origin of the hoverchair was always sort of a mystery to me. Xavier was wise to have developed his own independent high-tech resources, rather than rely on Tony Stark, Reed Richards, or S.H.I.E.L.D. Which is good. Otherwise, outsourcing would have been too much of a security risk, and too much of a plot convenience to boot.
I immediately thought of Dr. Strangefate from the Amalgam days who was actually Charles Xavier beneath the helmet of Nabu.
ReplyDeleteA floating chair could do wonders if it doesn't run out of power or parts. Could it be souped up for races and shop lifting? Would it go over snow and large bodies of water?
ReplyDeleteWould Marty McFly want one? Could he get it on a train? To find out, watch Back to the Future the play, part 2 at your local theatre .
Nice to know Dr Fate can still make house calls, even if they are for his own benefit.
When did Forge become the creator of the chair? The chair was always Shiar technology, IIRC.
ReplyDeleteAh, I see, later Forge did an upgrade, but it was still based on Shi'ar tech: https://marvel.fandom.com/wiki/Hoverchair
ReplyDelete@Ken and Reg: I always thought it was inspired by/copied from Metron's Mobius Chair.
ReplyDeletePerhaps we may learn that Professor X's chair is actually a Decepticon infiltrator XD
ReplyDelete@Big Mike: if nothing else, that might help to bring together Yellowjacket and Bumblebee.
ReplyDelete@Anon944: as in, the ex-Teen Titan...or the Autobot formerly known as Goldbug?
ReplyDeleteGoldbug, of course!
ReplyDelete"Then, I can dig it." :-)
