"Mommy, what's sleeping gas?"
I have a good set of scenes today. You all know how I love to find different versions of the same scene (like the Sue Storm/Puppet Master scenes). Well I'm back and this time the damsel is Jubilee of the X-Men. For those of you familiar with the X-Men animated series, you are probably aware that Jubilee is gassed TWICE in the first episode, "The Night of the Sentinels". I uploaded the clip onto Youtube.Click here to view it. Wasn't that a good clip?
Now, a lot of times they will make a comic book that is based on the animated series. There was a comic called X-Men Adventures, and like the TV show, it also had a double gassing of Jubilee. Here are the scans as evidence:
That's not a bad set of scenes; there is even a sleepy shot of Jubilee in the last one.
A comic book is good enough. But no, they had to make a MANGA based on the hit TV series. Once again, Jubilee is gassed twice in the first two volumes (thanks to Project X for the scans):
So far you have seen THREE different versions of the Jubilee double gassing. Usually, three different versions is the most it's ever going to get folks! However I have a FOURTH version. How I came across this fourth version has an interesting history that I am about to share with you.
One day I was browsing a huge rummage sale in a church. There was this room with a whole bunch of old used books. Most of the books in the room were junk, picture books and novels you only read once. While looking through some childrens books I noticed an X-Men comic. I thought "wow, X-men, there must be a sleeping gas scene in this book!" I opened it up and WHAT DO YOU KNOW there is a picture of Jubilee choking in a cloud of knockout gas. I turn the pages and THERE IS ANOTHER ONE!!! It's even better than the first. I so wanted to steal that book (I was with my family at the time, and didn't want them to think I was weird for buying a stupid 10 page X-Men book for kids). In the end, I left the book at the rummage sale. Boy that pissed me off!
Well yesterday I went to my local library and found the book! The book is called "X-Men: Enter the X-men" (ISBN: 0-679-85707-9) and is written for like 5 year olds. You are probably sick of reading this and just want to see the scans. Okay, here they are:
TIME OUT! So imagine this scenario: a little boy is laying in his bed and his mom reads the boy a bedtime story. The boy chooses the X-Men book because he got it at the library. The mother then reads the passage "Jubilee ran, but the Sentinel gassed her". The following conversation ensues:
BOY: "What did the gas do to Jubilee mommy"?
MOM: "Why, it put her to sleep."
BOY: "How? Is it a special kind of gas?"
MOM: "Yes, it's sleeping gas. When you breathe it, it puts you to sleep."
BOY: "Sleeping gas? Sounds interesting. Read more mommy!"
[The mother continues reading and approaches the second gas scene.]
BOY: "Look! They gassed Jubilee again! She looks pretty when she is asleep."
MOM: "........"
BOY: "Ok mommy, I feel like going to sleep. Will you give me some sleeping gas?"
MOM: "...sure."
...and a fetish is born.
