The Spectrum Retreat Xforce



Powers/Abilities: Phantazia formerly had themutant ability to harmonize and disrupt electronic wavelengths. Bymanipulating these wavelengths, Phantazia could produce a variety ofeffects, including locating hidden objects by harmonizing hersurroundings, levitation, disrupting the internal bio-electric field ofopponents to incapacitate or scramble their senses, disrupting theinternal mechanisms of machinery such as weapons and sensors to preventdetection and at least short range teleportation. As a result of herconnection to the electromagnetic spectrum, Phantazia's eyes constantlyemitted energy. When asleep, her connection to electronic wavelengthsceased.




The Spectrum Retreat Xforce




(X-Force I#9) - After Sauron mortally woundedCannonball and Cable, Boom-Boom and "Domino" (actually theshape-shifting Copycat posing as Domino) rushed Cannonball to themedical bay with Sauron in pursuit, Siryn, Warpath and Shatterstarstayed behind to search for the remaining Brotherhood of Evil Mutantsmembers. Finding no sign of them, Siryn questioned whether theelectric-scrambling Phantazia might be scrambling their senses. Blobsoon appeared, confirming Siryn's remarks, and attacked, only toultimately retreat rather than face the violent Shatterstar. As Cableproved unable to save Cannonball in the medical bay, Phantazia andMasque arrived to deal Cable a final blow. Unfortunately, Shatterstar,Warpath and Siryn arrived behind them and with X-Force completelyregrouped, Phantazia opted to retreat, saying goodbye to Masque as shedeparted and leaving her Morlock ally to be seemingly killed byShatterstar on Cable's orders.


(Sleepwalker I#17) - Withinthe Brotherhood of EvilMutants' headquarters, Phantazia silently watched as Pyro beratedSauron for earlier losing control of Portal, resulting in theBrotherhood's transport to Times Square. She soon noticed a puff ofpink smoke in their headquarters and informed Toad, but Toad shruggedoff the smoke as an atmospheric aberration and told Phantazia to focuson the matter at hand, unaware that the smoke was the remnants ofSleepwalker, who had followed the Brotherhood from Time Square beforedisappearing as his human host awoke. Eventually, Darkhawk and areturning Sleepwalker located the Brotherhood's base and stormed it.During the attack, Phantazia used her powers to disrupt Sleepwalker'sflight pattern, causing him to crash into a wall, only to be downedherself by a blast from Darkhawk. Forced to retreat, Phantazia joinedthe other Brotherhood of Evil Mutants in escaping through another ofthe hypnotized Portal's portals. Before Portal could follow theBrotherhood, Darkhawk snagged him with his grappling hook, leaving theBrotherhood without their hypnotized teleporter.


(X-Men Unlimited I#2) - Phantazia and the otherBrotherhood of Evil Mutants were summoned by an unidentified party to alocation just off Key West island in Florida. Relaxing until theirsummoner arrived, Phantazia soon picked up a disturbance in theelectromagnetic spectrum, one that was explained with Magneto's AcolyteExodus showed up and revealed himself as their summoner. Exodusannounced that Magneto had tasked him with meeting and offering a placein Magneto's mutant sanctuary that was under construction. When Blobquestioned Magneto's invitation, Exodus further explained thatMagneto's invitation extended only Phantazia and not the otherBrotherhood members, as she was the only one of their number thatMagneto had deemed worthy enough of his Avalon sanctuary. When theother Brotherhood members grew angry at not being considered worthy,Exodus asked for Phantazia's answer whether to accompany him toMagneto's Avalon or not. Unsure, Phantazia mumbled "no" and Exodusdeparted, expressing hopes that the Brotherhood's coming deaths wouldbe painless. After Exodus had left, a solemn Phantazia listened to theothers complaining at Magneto's arrogance and Pyro suggested they movealong to their meeting at a Jimmy Buffet restaurant.


Nude Tuesday is a familiar premise that sounds like it is going to be overly reliant on a gimmick. Laura (Jackie Van Beek, who also wrote the film) and her husband Bruno (Damon Herriman) reluctantly attend a couples retreat to help their marriage. While there, an eccentric guru (Jemaine Clement) helps them to confront the past to move on to a better future.


The setup is one that has been used for decades in romantic comedies. There is the couple who have a strained relationship, a retreat with strange methods, and a mentor to add more friction. It is formulaic, but fun. Nude Tuesday takes things a step further by using a completely made-up language to tell its character driven story.Listen to the latest episode of the AIPT Movies Podcast!if(typeof ez_ad_units!='undefined')ez_ad_units.push([[728,90],'aiptcomics_com-medrectangle-3','ezslot_9',320,'0','0']);__ez_fad_position('div-gpt-ad-aiptcomics_com-medrectangle-3-0');It is a big risk that pays off immediately. There are some moments where the language sticks out, but it never is the focal point of Nude Tuesday. It is no different than watching any other subtitled movie. The initial fear of the film relying on gibberish for laughs is quickly forgotten. This is a genuinely funny movie. Much like a good referee, the language is always there, but never noticed.The comedy covers the spectrum from witty quips to visual jokes. Clement is awesome as the sexually charged Bjorg. He is as quick to make up a mean nickname for someone as he is to allow his crotch to be grabbed while he is fishing and coming up with rhymes. There is a dynamic quality to him that makes it easy to see why people are so eager to listen to what he has to say.Along with Bjorg are a host of other oddball characters. The over the top moments add to the fun of Nude Tuesday. As things become more chaotic and the retreat races towards the titular day, the film become more tense. Though things never get anywhere near scary, there is even something of a horror vibe. The ending is as pleasantly surprising as the rest of the film.


JONATHAN HICKMAN (writer, House of X, Powers of X, X-Men): I had to pitch what I was doing to the entire editorial staff, and later on, to the larger room at a creative retreat. There were lots of questions, some were about stylistic tics, but most were certainly in the vein of, "does this work," or "should we be doing this?" And I, frankly, love it when people ask questions like that, because you get to find out very quickly if the answers you're giving to the room are being accepted or not. In this case the answer was, for the most part, yes, which was good.


Linkara (v/o): Yeah, the monsters say they had high hopes for him and just attack, and the group tries to retreat. Cheryl hands Ike a gun and tells them [sic] to keep them off their back and she'll come back with reinforcements. She and the redheads make it out, and when she learns that two of their fellows didn't make it, she orders them to leave Ike behind and go, despite Ike yelling for them to come back and get him.


Also involved in strikes against Russian forces and infrastructure targets are Turkish-supplied Bayraktar TB2 UAVs. While the TB2 looks a bit clunky next to U.S. military UAVs, Ukraine has used them to great effect, both for surveillance and as a platform for launching missiles. The shift from manned aircraft to unmanned UAVs in reconnaissance and close air support has already proven effective in Iraq and Afghanistan, but analysts were concerned about whether they would be as effective in areas with more sophisticated air search radars and electronic warfare. The answer appears to be that they are indeed effective, or at least expose another Russian failure: their inability to control the radio spectrum in Ukraine and jam such drones, although that may be changing (Bryen 2022).


In information operations, Ukraine has been able to effectively turn everything from leaked, unsecure Russian communications to video of anti-armor ambushes (Sabbagh 2022) into a narrative of triumph over a hapless opponent. Ukraine has waged a media war that effectively portrays the country as a victim (which it is) and that shows Russia has paid a terrible price for the invasion (which it has). With the retreat of Russian forces from the outskirts of Kyiv came additional propaganda points.


Eddie Munson and(Y/n) (L/n) had been friends since they met in the 6th grade whenEddie had his bike stolen by some asshole 8th grade jocks and (Y/n)threw sticks at them to get them to retreat. There she shared his first animal facts that chimps in the wild wouldthrow sticks and stones at pythons to dive them away from their territory. 2ff7e9595c
