Is that...does Viper have a quick release bra?


Somehow, that doesn't seem like the most practical battle outfit, does it? I checked other photos of it, and the clip wasn't for her harness or holster, but no, it's for her bra. It does explain how Viper got married to Wolverine in about fifteen minutes flat...no, no it doesn't. And she may have got a good deal on Murderworld with Buy It Now, but Arcade completely dicked her on the postage. Plus, even trapped in a giant pinball, from this angle it looks like Nightcrawler's mesmerized by Viper's giant holographic crotch...

This is from Uncanny X-Men #448, "Guess who's back in town?" from Chris Claremont last stretch on the book, with pencils by Oliver Coipel and inks by Scott Hanna. This issue has pile after pile of Claremont continuity, like unstable molecule evening wear that turns into uniforms, the time Kitty Pryde and Rachel Summers saved Queen Elizabeth's life, and Captain Britain's demolished manor mysteriously unblown-up. Yeah, it's not great, no matter how much goodwill you have for the characters. I wouldn't mention it at all, except for that horrible outfit...
