Blue, you are the doctor, you should know, but I used torticolis as you do for whiplash. My french dictionnary give you reason in saying torticolis is an hurt form 1 side of the neck, but my french-english dictionnary say torticolis= sniff neck and whiplash=coup de fouet (lashes with a whip) or coup du lapin(which I have no clue what it's means even in french, damn French, we need our onw dictionnary!!! :lol: :twisted: )
I'm confused!!! :shock:
And black with a big 'P' does? With Mac back as Guardian, you only need one national figurehead, so I can live with or without the colour scheme.Quote:

Okay, I realise that I am starting to sound b***hy now a days (mostly because I am, due to my general life - for that, I apologise), but this matter of colour schemes is getting a bit along the same route of the creator-bashing: tedious. As long as ONE of the team is wearing the national colours, that's fine. However, everyone's saying they want BOTH Mac and Heather in the same suit. That borders on the team uniform fiasco that every hated when the red-white-with-maple-leaf-on-the-boob design was introduced before the World Tour. People, you can't have it both ways.Quote:
That did a great job of setting them appart, but at the same time kept with the colours of the flag.
Well, the black suit is supposed to make him look like...a hockey puck! So yeah, that works.Quote:

I know what it is, I just didn't know how to say it in English and I didn't realize that until syvalois brought it up. So it's the same word (with maybe slightly different spelling) in English as it is in French?Quote:
Torticollis is a disease of the muscles on just one side of the neck.
LOL :)Quote:

Stiff neck is a term we doctors usually use for that condition you get in the morning when you get muscle cramps in your neck after sleeping in an awkward position.
My vote is to get rid of the geothermal-powered outfit, it's just plain stupid IMHO. Heather is hands down the better leader, but Mac is the one with the science and technical abilities. I would love to see two teams with the two of them leading one each. That way both of them could wear the red/white outfit, they could both lead and we could get our Uncanny and All New All Different Alpha Flights. :DQuote:

LOL :)

ok, so for me a torticolis is more than a Stiff neck, but not necessarely a torticoli as you name it. Usually, a torticoli is that it's so bad that you have to put a colar around your neck for a long period 1 week or more.
Damn language barrier even in french, I think I'm wrong. You know some words changed meaning depending if you are from france or from here? Confusing hein?
Definitely very confusing :)
but fun when you finally sort everything out :)
Who doesn't love a great catfight! Go Heather!!!!Quote:

It just seems like a good idea, and an appropriate use for uniforms.
Or, they could do what the New Warriors did, and have team colours (black and yellow in their case) in lieu of an actual uniform. (I know Namorita wore green back then, but mostly...)
I wonder if Nemesis' sword could get through Heather's force field? The field's energy, after all, not matter, so the molecule thing might not help. And we know Lady Deathstrike's Couldn't.

I like the idea too. It gives a sense of unity. Baseball teams have wear matching uniforms, police and all wear uniforms... I liek the idea of the team matching. Not like a bunch of people in random different outfits hanging together. AT least some kind of theme. They all wear red and white, but with stylistic differences. (much like the ones they did have...)Quote:
