So Jay, have you ever noticed that the X-Men go on like a lot of road trips?

There's X-Force, the time displaced O5, Iceman and Rogue, Iceman and Beast in the first class comics.

Miles, that's because road trips are awesome.

You get away from your everyday life, crash the Republican National Convention,

pick up a disenchanted housewife hitchhiking in suburbia.

Is your name Mike Dunesbury in this entirely theoretical scenario?

I mean, it could also be Mark Slackmire.

But seriously, going back to your question,

road trips make great transitional arcs for superheroes.

I can see where they'd want to get away from supervillain attacks for a few thousand miles.

You mean aside from highway-based supervillains?

There are highway-based supervillains?

Sure, there are. There's the highway then for starts and good midnight.

And of course, Baron von Blimp.

That's the guy who wants to replace trucks with zeppelins so that he can achieve,

and I quote, financial victory through air power.

That is amazing. So do they fight highway-based superheroes?

Not so much.

Because road trips are usually transition arcs.

Because both the trucker superheroes move to outer space.

What?!

I'm Jay Editing.
