Seems that the :2ff3e71021 Show substitute corpse was irrelevant. I guess it doesn't matter whose body got desecrated, as long as Maddie got stopped[/spoiler:2ff3e71021]. It appears Marvel either had no time to rescind Cyke's confusion over Mach speeds though. Either that or they figure it was intentionally worded that way because of the question mark.
Question for those of you who have read the issue::6b4d6df1aa Show Whose body was in the box[/spoiler:6b4d6df1aa]?
Yep, 3840mph... and I would think if it is a Cyclops thought, that he would know Mach speeds by heart, being a pilot and all. So I hope this is one error fixed by publishing day (else an editor needs a talking to). If some lame explanation like "Cyclops was so confused by the situation he didn't get even that right" creeps in, I'm going to be extremely disappointed, but logic benders like the ...

Yep, 3840mph... and I would think if it is a Cyclops thought, that he would know Mach speeds by heart, being a pilot and all. So I hope this is one error fixed by publishing day (else an editor needs a talking to). If some lame explanation like "Cyclops was so confused by the situation he didn't get even that right" creeps in, I'm going to be extremely disappointed, but logic benders like the seasoned Colossus needing to be told to armor up, while running towards the source of an attack, and also failing to do so just so he could be taken down (come on, couldn't someone have taken him out telepathically instead?) is already marring my enjoyment of this title. I already tell myself not to be too annoyed by so small a force infiltrating the X-base and physically taking them on and out (whereas one would expect an illusory, backed by psychic, assault would've been the logical way to go given the nature of this group, so they could at least totally misdirect most of the X and slip out with their objective, yet still have the satisfying-to-audiences clashes against more psych resistant characters - it astounds me that creatives teams do not think of this). And I otherwise like the concept of this storyline, but Fraction isn't making me like his take on this as much as I want to, and for now, does not even the inker, colorist, proof reader (there is one right?) know that 300mph isn't even half Mach 1?As for Psylocke being psi-assault proof, let's go ahead and chalk that up to hyperbole, 'cause in Exiles, that was already contradicted in a storyline - but I more buy it here since Spiral, Madelyne, magic and reality bending is involved. The still-bound Asian body indicates to me that her essence more so has animated the revived Kwannon than that she was strictly transferred and taken over though.

Mach 5 isn't 300mph, more like just under 4000mph @ sl.
I love to add that I am REALLY enjoying this storyline! I look forward to Uncanny X-Men very much...and the cover to #511 has got my head spinning!!! :phoenix: :phoenix: :phoenix:
