Time Bomb (review)


In 'Time Bomb' Logan and the X-men try to save mutant-kind after the brotherhood kidnaps Nitro(living bomb) and attempts to send him to Genosha but are thwarted by the X-men. This episode was pretty good, not as good as the others but still fun to watch. They seemed to have a new take on Nitro in this series instead of being a villain he is more of a sympathetic character. In addition to Nitro we have another mutant cameo, Psylocke. I liked how she looked in the series and her powers were portrayed nicely(with the exception of them not showing her forge weapons with her mind ). Although she did get owned by Emma Frost; I expected a way better fight between the two of them. Speaking of fights Cylclops, Shadowcat, and Iceman win for creative use of their powers, especially Kitty when she phased into the brotherhood plane with her "hi Rogue " moment. Personally, the best part of this episode when we get a glimpse of the father-son relationship between Pietro and Magneto. All in all good episode but not great.
