Hey, kids! Eric Mattias' name may not be on Magneto's radar but as a student enrolled at Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters, he observes the fabled institution from a unique set of eyes. While other mutants are off saving the day or training to make X-Man, Eric ostracizes himself from his peers for his insecurity over his uncool power. He spends his time on the computer, reflecting about the world around him, while trying to cope with having "the world's suckiest mutant power." You want to know what his power is, don't you? Well, in order to get all the details, you'll have to pick up Eric's book "Wolverine: Worst Day Ever" (written by his real world counterpart, Barry Lyga and due in stores everywhere April 22)! Luckily, we've gotten hold of Eric's journal! We'll post two entries per week sure to shed insight into the life and world of Eric Mattias—look for them on Tuesdays and Thursdays on Marvel.com. The sooner we understand how mutants socially interact, the sooner our societies can peacefully coexist. My First Mission This entry posted on May 5 at 9:19:28 pm by Eric. Remember a little while back how I said that my first week at the school wasn't all that great? Well, it wasn't. I was getting used to my powers, getting used to a new school, getting used to teachers and classes like "Mutant Development" and "Popular Super-heroics" and "Shape-Shifters: Threat or Menace?" And I got in trouble for wandering where I wasn't supposed to wander and eventually I ended up in Professor X's office, which is like going to the principal's office, only the principal can read your mind. Plus, getting chewed out by a telepath like Professor X is no fun. Not only is he yelling at you, but you also keep getting this weird little "echo" in the back of your mind. It's like having someone shout in your ear while someone else is whispering the exact same thing in the other ear, only half a second later. It made it tough to concentrate on what he was saying, so he kept saying it over and over again. Plus, he was getting a headache just from focusing on me so much, so neither one of us was happy.

A quick drawing of Wolverine in one of his costumes, talking to Professor X. He has a couple different costumes. I guess so he doesn't get bored.

Fortunately, that first time, Wolverine interrupted by walking into the professor's office without even knocking. (I always knock, but people never hear it, so I have to walk into rooms if I ever want to go in at all!) "Y' wanted to see me, Chuck?" Professor X gritted his teeth. I could almost see a little thought bubble over his head: I've told you to call me Professor!!!!! Hey, the guy's a telepath — maybe I did see a thought bubble over his head! Anyway, then they got into an argument for a couple of minutes about how the Professor had summoned Wolverine ten whole minutes ago and Wolverine was late and blah blah blah. And by now neither one of them knew I was in the room, so I got to hear everything. Which isn't technically eavesdropping, is it? I don't know. The Professor wanted Wolverine to take Angel and the X-Jet (he called it "the Blackbird" for some reason) and go bring a new mutant to the school. Turns out this new guy had just "manifested his powers," which means his mutant ability just turned itself on. He was living on the street, homeless, no family, and the bad guy mutants would be tracking him down to recruit him to be an evil mutant if we didn't get to him first.

They're still talking. They talk a lot. I drew it different to make it more interesting this time. Because I care about you, my nonexistent blogreader.

"This is why," the Professor finished, "when I summon you, it is imperative that you come immediately." I wasn't too sure what "imperative" meant, but it sounded like "impressive" and it was a big, Professor X-type of word, the kind he tosses around so that you remember he's a Professor and you're not. (As if you could ever forget. Duh. The guy's name is Professor X! That would be like forgetting Captain America is a captain. Or the Incredible Hulk is incredible. Or Doctor Doom is a doctor.) I don't know about you, but flying on the X-Jet and meeting a new mutant sure sounded a lot better than hanging out in the Professor's office, getting yelled at for stuff that wasn't even really my fault. When Wolverine left the office, I went with him. I even waved goodbye to Professor X, but he just turned back to his computer and started working on something. So it's not my fault. I tried. I have to go to Basic Mutant Defense Techniques class. I'll tell you the story about my mission with Wolverine later.Read Eric's Third Blog Entry Here! Read Eric's Second Blog Entry Here!
