Wolverine: Worst Day Ever (Blog Five)

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.

Oh, Gross! This entry posted on May 9 at 3:49:52 pm by Eric. I don't even think I want to tell you about this, but no one is reading my blog anyway, so I might as well. Right after class, I had to go to the bathroom. Don't laugh or anything — mutants have to go to the bathroom, too, you know. Everyone has to go to the bathroom at some point. Even teachers and parents. It happens. Normally I use the little private bathroom in my room, but I was sort of in a hurry because I had, like, ten chimichangas for lunch, so I ducked into one of the public bathrooms on the main floor. I was sitting there minding my own business and I guess I forgot to lock the door because suddenly I looked up and there's big, huge rear end headed my way! It was Colossus! He was about to sit on me! I started yelling and screaming and kicking and slapping at him and he finally got the point that something was not right here and he shuffled away, mumbling something that I couldn't understand. Come to think of it, I probably didn't want to understand it, either.

I guess I'm lucky he wasn't in his steel form, right? Because then he never would have felt me kicking him and he would have sat on me and that ton of metal would have made me go splat. (I wonder how you go to the bathroom when you're made of solid steel? Actually, on second thought, I don't want to know.) Lesson learned: From now on, Nowhere Boy only goes to the bathroom in the Nowhere Bathroom. (Poor Colossus. I don't think he's ever going to like me.)
