marvel - Why is Wolverine drawn on Avengers side in AvX Program Guide?


In Avengers vs. X-Men Program Guide (free at ComiXology), why is the Wolverine depicted fighting in the Avengers side of the brawl instead of X-Men?

Answer



First off, this is a great question and not something I've spotted. I think the definitive answer will be given when we get to see the comics. But until then let us have a look at the other promo/teaser work:

Here we see Wolverine Vs Captain America (possibly on Shield HQ)...But, wasn't Wolverine on the Avenger's side? Which side does he pick?



enter image description here


In this last picture it's abundantly clear: Wolverine is caught in the middle of a fight between the two idealogical champions of both sides, Cyclops and Captain America and doesn't have a natural side top pick. The thing is, Wolverine isn't going to be on anyone's side but his. He's a maverick and he'll do what it takes to:



keep Hope, the mutant 'messiah' safe.



He's already been approached by Captain america to take sides and his response was less than definite. He has history (literally) with Captain America, he's worked with Cyclops and he's been involved with the:



Last incarnation of the Phoenix entity's last 'victim' Jean Grey



So he has ample choice of who he sides with, except the last I heard he'd split from the main bulk of the 'X-Men', who now reside on 'Utopia' who are led by Cyclops. The reasons for splitting are ultimately tied up with Wolverine and Cyclop's rivalry.

Here again he is stuck in the middle...


In summary, Wolverine is not explicitly allied to "Cyclops'" side, and may very well change his alliance (to the Avenger's, or his own third side) as the series progresses.


Edit: After reading the first few AvX comics it's clear that Wolverine has sided with Captain america form the beginning, but possibly switches sides (due to the images I found above)


Further Pictorial Evidence: 1, 2

futurama - How much time is lost in 'Time Keeps on Slippin''

In time Keeps on Slippin' , Farnsworth creates a basketball team which he matures by abusing Chronitons. This leads to time skipping forward by random, but ever increasing amounts. How much time was skipped in this way? Answer Unfortunately, I don't think a good estimate can be made for this, for two reasons: Many of the time skips move forward by an indeterminate amount of time. At one point, the Professor mentions localized regions of space skipping forward much more than others. We then see two young boys on the street below complaining about having to pay social security, only to suddenly become senior citizens and start complaining about wanting their money. Thus, each individual could have experienced a different amount of time skippage.

game of thrones - Is Syrio Forel dead?

In the episode 'The Pointy End' (Season 1 Episode 8) when Arya runs from the Lannister guards you hear the sound of a sword being dropped (around 4:56): [embedded content] After that neither Syrio or Ser Meryn Trant is never mentioned or seen in the show again, except when Arya mentions to the Hound that Ser Meryn Trant killed Syrio. Is there any mention in the books that Syrio actually dies?

tolkiens legendarium - Difference between elves and dwarves blacksmithing in the Lord of the Rings

Both the elves and the dwarves were famous for their metal work in the Lord of the Rings trilogy, but what is the difference between what they made, and which one had the better skill of making amours and swords? Answer James Christopher's answer sums up the second part of your question well, but as to the difference in what they made, a little more detail is needed. Once the Elves learned to forge with steel, the shape of the sword changed, now being able to take on the form of a great broadsword or a light and agile curved sword. Additionally, they took great pride in decorating their swords. As we see in the Lord of the Rings , some swords like Sting had magical properties such as glowing blue when orcs are near. As far as the use of Mithril, lotr.wikia has two contradictory passages: Thus, Elven blades became renowned as great weapons, capable of performing deeds beyond the skill of their handlers and were even more glorious when the use of Mithril was allowed to the Elves. ...

How do Pokemon trainers collect their winnings?

According to Bulbapedia , Prize money is the money that a Trainer pays out at the end of a battle. So we know that the money comes directly from the trainer that just lost, and not some third-party committee or sponsor. But how is this done? It can be easy seeing the random trainers who challenge you along the way wanting to wager and then, after admitting defeat, sticking to their word and handing over their hard-earned pokebucks. Then there are the likes of Team Rocket and Giovanni, who also give money once they lose. This doesn't seem like something people in a criminal organization would willingly do. From this it appears that trainers have no say in whether or not they cough up the dough after losing, but I can't find anything on how exactly the funds are transferred from loser to winner. So how do Pokemon trainers receive their winnings?
