Friday Night Fights: Feet of Fury! - Round 8: Rock-Em Sock-Em Robots!


Normally in Friday Night Fights, I leave the robot battles to ShadowWing Tronix. But for Round 8, I'm making an exception because this fight features:


1. The art of Neal Adams


2. Sentinels


3. The man who inspired my blog's name, Dr. Henry McCoy aka The Beast.


Tonight's fight comes from Essential Classic X-Men#3, reprinting the late 60's Sentinel saga by Roy Thomas, Neal Adams, and Tom Palmer. Synopsis: Cyclops, Marvel Girl and the Beast have just liberated Quicksilver, the Scarlet Witch, and the Toad from the Sentinels.


What happens next demonstrates what I love about Scott Summers: When he's not getting all emo or getting messed with by Professor X, Cyclops can be one sneaky bastard.


Case in point: His plan to mess with the Sentinels' sensors by having his team....dress like Quicksilver, the Scarlet Witch and the Toad.


How does this work? Pretty well, as it turns out....
