the corinthian
Bluelighter
This is somewhat long-winded, so please bear with me
I took my nick from the same comic series as MorpheusDaq (The Sandman, by Neil Gaiman, an excellent work of literature, I highly recommend it. Available in trade paperbacks. Visit a comic store and pick an issue up, you won't be dissapointed).
Anyway, The Corinthian is a living representation of a nightmare, and he escapes into 'our' world from The Dreaming, the realm which Morpheus presides over. The Corinthian (true to his nature) becomes a serial-killer, and is eventually hunted down by Morpheus and destroyed. Later in the series, The Corinthian is recreated in The Dreaming where (still true to his nature) he proves to be a valuable aide to Morpheus in a time of crisis.
This, to me, shows that even though we are the same person to ourselves, we can act and be percieved by others in a different light if we are placed in different circumstances.
Sorry if that's a bit confusing, but it is the best way I can describe how I feel without writing a four page essay (as it is this damn post is too long). So i'll go now.
the corinthian.
p.s. It's good to see another X-Men fan out there. Archangel and Gambit are two characters that should have been included the movie, but hey, it'll be worth seeing Wolverine and Sabretooth go at it, so i'm not that dissapointed.
