Just as Nimrod says this, Dazzler fires her laser.<br /><br />The next panel shows the laser hitting Nimrod/Master Mold in the head. It doesn't appear to be doing any harm. Then, in the next panel, there is a HUGE explosion. Then, in the next panel, we can see Rogue being blasted through the Siege Perilous from a massive shockwave.<br /><br />Key Points:<br />1) Dazzler, even at her best - which she wasn't at this point because of fatigue - couldn't have disintegrated the Nimrod/Master Mold Construct. Especially after Rogue had just done a sub-orbital dive bomb onto Nimrod/Master Mold while having absorbed Colossus' steel form and Nimrod/Master Mold recovered quickly.<br />2)The panel with Rogue being blasted through the Siege Perilous via shockwave shows no hint of Nimrod/Master Mold being blasted through.<br />3) Nimrod/Master Mold never reconstructed itself after it's destruction.<br />This hints STRONGLY that Nimrod/Master Mold self-destructed as Alison hit it with her laser. That would also explain the massive shockwave that flung Rogue through the Siege Perilous.<br /><br />Master Mold anchors itself to the ground to prevent itself from going through the Siege Perilous, and restrains Rogue - after being convinced by the Nimrod Memory Core that their merger is akin to being a mutant - with the intention of fulfilling its "Primary Directive", and killing itself, since it now considers itself to be a mutant.<br /><br />Further, it would be totally intent on ensuring it does not go through the Siege if it suspects it has become a mutant, since it would fully realise that it may be reborn as a mutant, anathema to its "Primary Directive".<br /><br />In the meantime, Dazzler fires her laser at its head, which has no effect. It then self-destructs, and Rogue gets blasted into the Siege by the shockwave. <br /><br />The merged Master Mold/Nimrod does not attempt to reconstruct itself, since it would realise that doing so would continue its mutant existence, thus it ensured its own destruction was permanent.Nathan Adlerhttp://fanfix.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1412426751746353409.post-30285002090043502682013-02-24T02:46:02.374+01:002013-02-24T02:46:02.374+01:00"Carol" is more than just a psychic impr..."Carol" is more than just a psychic imprint- she is the totality of Ms. Marvel's experiences. While it is true the Carol's body was back running around as Binary, that body had all of the memories returned to her by Professor X but none of the attachments- for example she knew her family and friends but she had none of the feelings one would have for them. Rogue had essentially permanently (at that point) mind-raped her. Plus you gotta remember that Claremont loved the character, especially after she got raped and mind-controlled by Marcus in the Avengers.Brandennoreply@blogger.com
