I guess we should be prepared for some more giant events in marvel storytelling as there's still quite a few mutants and others who have probability altering powers which Marvel now defines as the power to change reality... en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_fictional_characters_who_can_alter_probabilityI myself think of it as nothing more than changing the odds, which everyone can do anyway (If you carry a lightning rod during a thunderstorm, your chances of getting hit go up pretty high. I guess I can now control the universe because I altered probability...) |

Franklin Richards wants Peyton Manning to win and Franklin created his own universe once, so that's probably the way it's gonna shake out. |

Franklin Richards wants Peyton Manning to win and Franklin created his own universe once, so that's probably the way it's gonna shake out. Ooooooooohhhhh, I daresay that Franklin's allegiance is MUCH more likely placed with the New York Football Jets, really. Eh? Don'tcha think? I mean, he does live in New York, & all. And Reed & Sue strike me as more of an AFC kinda couple (whereas I'm SURE ol' Ben has GIANTS memorabilia adorning much of his room!). I mean, actual, obvious, indiscrete altering of reality is pretty much the only reasonable explanation for Nate Kaeding missing three field goals. . . (Mostly, us folks in the DC Metro area were just glad to see the Cowboys take a shellacking by Minnesota. . . ) Please forgive the off-topic tangent, friends. . . ! HB |

HB Actually I was cheering for the Vikes too, mainly because it's nice to see an old man QB'ing a team to a win over the young turk. As for Franklin, hmm, could be a Jet fan bit they haven't been very good for a long time. I could see the clean cut Manning being his fave, but yes Ben is probably a Giants fan. I actually see Reed as more of a college football guy, if at all. Exploring the Negative Zone every other second probably doesn't allow one to read stats often. |

In other words: J-E-T-S! ;D Ha! Say, didn't the Bengals' kicker have a missed attempt or two as well in the wildcard round? I daresay, Shar, that Wanda's words here are a bit of a clever ruse. It's not Manning's houses being cursed-- she's aiming that hex-bolt directly for good ol' Matt Stover. I mean, where else could "probability altering" powers be used to greater effect? Ah, poor Matt. Y'know, this is the first season in forever that I kinda like all four of the teams in the division finals, and would be happy to see any of them win the superbowl. Although by small increments, my choices would be Minnesota, New Orleans, Jets, and then Indy. HB |
