PAGE 1

1) Large establishing shot of the X-mansion. As a point of

reference, and a time marker, this storyline would take place
before Messiah Complex during the X-men's rare downtime period. A
more precise point would put this story between Carey’s X-men #193-
194, Fantastic Four #543-544, Cable and Deadpool #36-37, and just
after OMD with Spider-man, so no one knows who he is. It's around
noon outside, but other than that, nothing out of the ordinary. It
might be cool to see some mutant kids outside
playing/training/talking/showcasing their abilities.

CAPTION
THE X-MANSION, 12:01 P.M.

PAGE 2

1) Interior shot. ICEMAN, in civilian form, is talking to ROGUE

about taking a break for the day. He's a bit overwhelmed.

CAPTION
BOBBY DRAKE (ICEMAN): MUTANT
ABILITY OF CYROKINESIS. YOUNGEST
ORIGINAL X-MAN.

ICEMAN
HEY, ROGUE. I HATE TO ASK BUT…

ROGUE
WHAT IS IT, BOBBY?

ICEMAN
OK, DON'T HATE ME, BUT MIND IF I
TAKE A BREATHER… FOR LIKE A DAY?

2) Rogue is understanding, but annoyed with the request. Things

haven't been easy on any of them lately, especially her.

CAPTION
ROGUE: POWER OF ABSORPTION.
PRESENTLY IN A BAD MOOD.

ROGUE
BOBBY, I…

MYSTIQUE
(O.S.)
LET HIM GO, ROGUE.

Cont'd:

3) Focus on Rogue but MYSTIQUE is off to her side. If you thought

Rogue was annoyed before, it's much more visible now. The very
voice of Mystique makes her want to do something drastic.

ROGUE
DO WHATEVER YA WANT, BOBBY. I DON'T
CARE.

4) Rogue walks off and Iceman and Mystique are left alone. Iceman
is happy he gets the day off but is worried about Rogue's well-
being. So overall, he’s a bit uneasy.

ICEMAN CAPTION
AND BIG BAD MYSTIQUE COMES TO MY
RESCUE... WHO WOULD’VE THOUGHT?

MYSTIQUE
YOU OWE ME, ICEMAN.

5) Iceman smiles at Mystique uncertain about whether he should be

impressed and happy, or unsure and scared for his well-being.
Mystique just stands with her arms crossed not giving any real
information away with her body language.

ICEMAN
YEAH… THANKS, I GUESS.

6) Mystique walks away with a coy smile on her face. Iceman is

more freaked out than he previously was.

MYSTIQUE
DON'T KEEP ME WAITING, BLUE BOY.
YOU'LL FIND THAT I'M NOT VERY
AGREEABLE WHEN I'M KEPT WAITING.

ICEMAN CAPTION
OH… KAY. CHALK ONE UP TO THE
DRAKESTER'S CHARM.

PAGE 3

1) Medium establishing shot of the Baxter building. It's a little

later in the day than it was during page 2 at the X-mansion. The
caption box is at the top left portion of the page.

2) Interior shot. Mid shot of JOHNNY/HUMAN TORCH sitting on the

couch sulking and THING trying to cheer his chum up. Juggling a
ball, making a face, whatever a good friend would do to cheer up a
downed buddy.

TORCH CAPTION
TALK ABOUT A BAD WEEK. EVER SINCE
REED AND SUE HAD THEIR LITTLE
FALLOUT, I’VE BEEN FEELIN’ LIKE A
CHUMP.

CAPTION
HUMAN TORCH: POWER OF PYROKINESIS.
YOUNGEST MEMBER OF THE FAN4.
CURRENTLY DEPRESSED.

3) Close in on Johnny staring at Thing. He’s not feeling any

better despite BEN’s efforts. He’s too absorbed in his own
thoughts to really care.

TORCH CAPTION
--AND THING’S BEEN TRYIN’ HIS BEST
TO CHEER ME UP...

THING
AWW, COM’ON, JOHNNY. SUE ‘N REED’LL
BE FINE.

CAPTION
THE THING: SUPERSTRENGTH, ROCKY
HIDE, AND THE HEART OF THE FAN4.

4) Focus only on Johnny. His head is down. He’s really playing up

his moper role.

TORCH CAPTION
BUT I CAN’T HELP BUT THINK THAT
THIS IS PARTIALLY MY FAULT.

PAGE 4

1) Pull out and include Thing in this shot. He’s making a

suggestion to Johnny and has given up on whatever he was doing
previously.

THING
HOW ‘BOUT YOU GO OUT ON THE TOWN ‘N
CLEAR YA HEAD, JOHNNY?

Cont'd:

2) Johnny looks up at Ben while considering the idea. He doesn’t

look much less depressed than he was in the preceding panels.

HUMAN TORCH
THAT’S ACTUALLY A GOOD IDEA... LORD
KNOWS I NEED A BREAK.

3) Ben, arms folded, smiles as he finally believes he’s breaking

through to Johnny.

THING
AND DON’T YA WORRY ABOUT THE
MUNCHKINS... GOOD OL’ BEN IS ON DA
JOB!

4) Johnny, much more into the idea than he was letting on before,
finally accepts the deal. Thing is still in the shot but looks
satisfied.

HUMAN TORCH
YEAH... YEAH, GOOD CALL, BEN. TELL
STORM AND PANTHER I’M OUT?

5) Johnny is now heading towards the door and Thing has a rocky
hand sitting on his shoulder.

THING
ATTA BOY! AND WHEN YA COME BACK, YA
BETTA BE THAT ANNOYIN’ KID I’VE
COME’TA EXPECT.

HUMAN TORCH
I’LL TRY, BEN...

TORCH CAPTION
...BUT NO PROMISES.

PAGE 5

1) Cut to SPIDER-MAN in an alleyway across town. He’s fighting

three or four thugs that just happen to be up to no good. Too bad
none of them are a threat to Spidey and his arsenal of attacks.
He’s making quick work of one while the other thugs attempt to
take him out.

CAPTION
ALLEYWAY IN NEW YORK, 12:50 P.M.

 Previsionary 5

Cont'd:

2) Spidey webs one thug up while kicking another one. A gun,

partially off panel, is pointing at him.

SPIDER-MAN CAPTION
ANOTHER DAY IN THE LIFE OF PETER
PARKER, A.K.A, YOUR FRIENDLY
NEIGHBORHOOD SPIDER-MAN.

3) Spidey’s “spidey-sense” alerts him to the bullet flying his way

and he dodges while simultaneously firing several web balls at his
target.

THUG
(burst)
UGH!

SPIDER-MAN
HEY, MR. BAD AIM, YOU SHOULD BE
CAREFUL WHERE YOU’RE POINTIN’ THAT
THING... YOU MIGHT TAKE OUT AN EYE!

4) Spidey ducks as a fist comes flying towards him. The fist

connects with a wall behind him. On the ground, you can see a
partially webbed-up body.

THUG #2
YA’RE GOIN’ DOWN, WEB-HE--AGH!

SPIDER-MAN
YEAH? I DON’T THINK THE WALL
AGREES!

SPIDER-MAN CAPTION
IF IT’S NOT TAKING OUT RANDOM
THUGS...

PAGE 6

1) Position the camera in front of Spidey so that the alleyway

opening is in view. We can see a small Dinosaur, a VELOCIRAPTOR,
run past the alleyway. Spidey, himself, is webbing up his last
foe.

SPIDER-MAN
THANKS FOR THE WORKOUT, GUYS. CATCH
YA NEXT WEEK? SAME SPIDEY TIME,
SAME SPIDEY--

VELOCIRAPTOR
(jagged)
--RAAAAAWR!

2) Spider-man, startled by the sound and his spider-sense, looks

back and sees nothing. On the wall closest to him, you can see one
of the thugs webbed up to it upside down.

SPIDER-MAN
YOU SAY SOMETHING?

SPIDER-MAN CAPTION
...IT’S HANDLING STUFF YOU JUST
WOULDN’T BELIEVE. TALK ABOUT YOUR
“PARKER” LUCK.

3) Spider-man is looking forward again, focusing on securing the

thugs before swinging off. In the background, DEADPOOL wildly runs
by carrying a katana and a gun.

DEADPOOL
(burst)
YEEEEE-HAAAAAW!

4) Spidey looks back again and this time sees an explosion. He

knows what he’s about to get himself into... insanity.

SPIDER-MAN CAPTION
UH-OH, THAT SOUND COULD ONLY MEAN
ONE THING...

5) Spidey leaps towards the sound of the explosion leaving the

thugs to hang out. On the wall, you can still see the upside-down
thug still attached.

SPIDER-MAN
HANG AROUND, GUYS, YOU’VE GOT FRONT
ROW SEATS TO SOME SPIDER-ACTION!

THUG
WHATTA IDIOT.
 Previsionary 7

PAGE 7

1) The velociraptor is trapped against a wall and snarling as the

shadow of Deadpool appears before it. Deadpool is pointing his
katana towards the creature.

DEADPOOL
WHO’S SMALL, UGLY, AND ABOUT TO
FIND A NICE, POINTY BLADE THROUGH
ITS NECK? YOU ARE!

2) Spider-man lowers himself, upside down, from a web and appears

right next to DP. DP is still looking ahead with his sword pointed
at the deadly dino.

SPIDER-MAN
MIND IF I DROP IN?

DEADPOOL
IF BY “DROP IN” YOU MEAN “NOT
GETTING IN MY WAY,” THEN NO, I HAVE
ABSO-FRICKIN-LUTELY NO PROBLEM WITH
THAT.

SPIDER-MAN
(linked)
YOU KNOW I CAN’T LET YOU KILL THAT
THING, RIGHT, DP?

3) Deadpool turns his head to look at Spider-man. The

velociraptor’s shadow appears to be preparing to strike.

DEADPOOL
AWW, CALM DOWN, TOBEY. I’M A HERO
NOW. I HERO PEOPLE!

SPIDER-MAN
TWO THINGS... ONE: IT’S “SAVING”
PEOPLE. TWO: TOBEY WHO?

4) The dino jumps at Deadpool and Spider-man as they’re

distracted. DP is still holding his katana outwards.

DEADPOOL
CUT THE ACT, TOBEY. EVERYONE KNOWS
YOUR IDENTITY FROM THOSE SPIDEY
MOVIES. YOU WERE GREAT, BY THE WAY.
LESS DANCIN’, MORE JOKIN’ NEXT
TIME.

SPIDEY MOVIES? DANCING? SORRY, DP,
NOT EVEN I HAVE THAT MUCH BAD
LUCK... BESIDES, I AIN’T GETTIN’
ANY ROYALTIES.

DEADPOOL
SUCKS TO BE--

5) The dino is impaled on DP’s katana. This happens mostly off

screen with a shocked reaction from Spider-man and DP enjoying it
greatly.

DEADPOOL
--YOU!
(linked)
TALK ABOUT GOOD TIMIN’, RIGHT?
(linked)
RIGHT, TOBESTER? COME ON... SPEAK!

PAGE 8

1) Focus on the fallen velociraptor which is revealed to be a

robot. Oil leaks from its opening, gears are visible, and smoke
rises from the wreckage.

SPIDER-MAN
SORRY, GETTING OVER THE SHOCK OF
YOU MAIMING A DINO... WAS THAT
NECESSARY?

DEADPOOL
OF COURSE!

SPIDER-MAN
SO YOU KNEW IT WAS A ROBOT?

DEADPOOL
OF COURSE... NOT. DOES THAT MATTER?
I DIDN’T THINK IT DID, BUT IF IT
DOES, I’LL REMEMBER THAT FOR NEXT
TIME. MAYBE.

2) Medium panel. Spider-man and Deadpool are still looking at the

wreckage, but menacing shadows appear behind them of various sized
velociraptors (6 or so), each of who are preparing to launch an
attack. Spider-man’s spidey-sense is going off.

SPIDER-MAN
UH OH... THIS IS BAD.

DEADPOOL
WHAT? THE THING’S DOWN FOR THE
COUNT. WHAT ELSE COULD IT DO? ROT

SPIDER-MAN
(LINKED)
WELL, JUDGING BY THE SHADOWS AND MY
SENSES... I THINK WE’RE ABOUT TO
FIND OUT.

DEADPOOL
(LINKED)
OH? COOL.

3) Larger panel. All the the velociraptors are leaping through the
air preparing to slash or claw Spidey and his humorous friend.

DEADPOOL CAPTION
THIS... COULD BE BAD. BUT IT COULD
ALSO BE GOOD. BUT PROBABLY BAD.
IT’S LIKE A BAD TV SHOW!

PAGE 9

1) Medium shot of total chaos. Cars are overturned, the streets

are littered, dirty, black smoke is rising into the air, objects
are charred... it’s as if a major battle went down and the streets
paid the price of it.

ICEMAN CAPTION
SO, REMEMBER WHEN I SAID I NEEDED A
VACAY? WELL, THIS WAS KINDA THE
RESULT.

2) A WOMAN is huddled in the middle of the street trying to

protect her DAUGHTER from harm. In front of her, a ROBOT with a
flamethrower for an arm stands over her preparing to set her
aflame.

DAUGHTER
(yelling, jagged)
MOOOOOOM!

MOTHER

AHHHHHHH!

3) Close up on the Robot’s upper body as it prepares to fire its

weapon. Its eyes are glowing a menacing red. If it were a dark,
this thing would scare the heck out of you.

ICEMAN
(O.S., burst)
HEY, FIREBALL!

PAGE 10

1) Pull in tight on Iceman riding an ice slide in total action

mode. He’s firing an array of ice shards, 4 or 5, and he’s
completely iced up at the moment. To top it off, he has a scowlish
smile on his face. He’s ready for anything.

ICEMAN
(burst)
CATCH!

2) The Robot turns its head and looks at Iceman just as an ice
shard embeds itself into its back. The shard is pretty deep, but
you can still see a small bit of it.

ROBOT
(jagged)
ERROR! SY-SY-SY!

3) The Robot’s head pops into the air as the rest of its body,
with visible signs of malfunctioning, falls to the ground.

ICEMAN CAPTION
THIS MIGHT BE A LITTLE ROUGH, BUT--

4) Iceman creates a downward, yet spiraling slide just underneath

the head to give it some velocity and speed.

NO DIALOGUE
 Previsionary 11

PAGE 11

1) Shot of the head making its way down the slide at high speed.
It’s moving at such a speed that’d it be dangerous for a human, or
a robotic creature, to be in its path.

ICEMAN CAPTION
--CAN’T CLAIM I DON’T THINK ON MY
FEET!

2) The robotic head shoots through another robot’s torso causing

it to malfunction. This robot has a wrecking ball for an arm
instead of a flamethrower.

ROBOT #2
(jagged)
ERROR! SYSTEM’S FAIL... ING!

3) The malfunctioning Robot swings its wrecking ball arm and takes
out two other robots with ease.

ICEMAN
(O.S.)
SENTINELS, YOU AIN’T. ONE POINT FOR
YOURS TRULY!

4) The Mother and Child are escaping from the scene as Iceman
continues to admire his handiwork.

MOTHER
COME ON! HURRY!

DAUGHTER
BUT, MOM, THAT MUTANT SAVED US!

ICEMAN CAPTION
--AND A BOOST TO THE EGO... NICE!

PAGE 12

1) Big shot. A slew of robots, around 3 or 4, surround Iceman

where he stands. One points a flamethrower at him and the others
prepare to smack him with a wrecking ball.

ROBOT #3
HALT!

ICEMAN
THIS... IS NOT GOING TO PLAN AT
ALL.

2) Meanwhile, Torch is flying overhead as the battle rages on. He

takes note of this even in his distracted state, especially when
he sees Iceman, an old friend.

TORCH CAPTION
IF BEN WANTED ME TO CLEAR MY HEAD,
HE PICKED A NICE DAY FOR ME TO DO
IT. WAIT, IS THAT--

HUMAN TORCH
ICEMAN?

3) Iceman, still maintaining his ice barrier, creates an icy patch

just beneath one of the ROBOTS with a wrecking ball arm just as it
swings it towards him.

F.X.
WHOOSH

ICEMAN
ONE GIANT ROBOT, SOFT SERVED!

PAGE 13

1) The Robot standing on the icy surface flies forward just as

Johnny arrives on the scene.

ICEMAN CAPTION
ONE DOWN, TWO TO GO!

2) The Robot with the flamethrower releases a trail of fire onto

Iceman’s shield. Iceman can barely hold off the intensity of the
heat.

F.X.
FSSSSSS!

ICEMAN
(yelling)
ARRRRRRGH!

3) Focus on the FIRE ROBOT as its flames suddenly stop working.

The machine is confused by this new development.

ROBOT #4
ILLOGICAL MALFUNCTION! CHECKING

5) The Flamethrower bursts to life, frying the Robot to a crisp,

so to speak.

ROBOT #4

ER-ER-ER-ER-ER...

PAGE 14

1) The Human Torch floats just over Iceman as the last robot
prepares to attack.

HUMAN TORCH
HEY, CONEHEAD. LOOKS LIKE YA COULD
USE SOME HELP!

ICEMAN
UGH, WHO INVITED THE HUMAN
FLASHLIGHT TO THE PARTY?

HUMAN TORCH
YOU’RE LUCKY I’M HERE AT ALL,
SPIKY. LET’S DO IT!

2) The final Robot swings it’s wrecking ball at both our heroes as
Iceman shoots an ice beam at its wrecking ball arm and Torch
shoots a stream of fire at its head.

NO DIALOGUE

3) Huge explosion of fire and ice. Nothing else is seen.

F.X.
BA-BOOOOOOM!

4) Focus only on Torch and Iceman as they inspect their work. They
don’t see anything.

IT A WIN?

HUMAN TORCH
I’D SAY SO. TOO BAD, I COULD’VE
REALLY USED A FEW MORE BADDIES TO
POUND UP.

PAGE 15

1) Iceman and Torch, in normal form, talk after their victory.

Torch stands in the forefront, arms crossed.

ICEMAN
WHY ARE YOU HERE ANYWAY? I COULD
HAVE TAKEN ‘EM.

HUMAN TORCH
I’M SURE BECAUSE YOU’RE THAT GOOD
OF A HERO. I JUST NEEDED SOME TIME
AWAY FROM THE FAMILY.

2) The final Robot appears behind the two heroes as they trade
insults. They don’t notice the bot sneaking up on them.

ICEMAN
I ALWAYS THOUGHT YOU WERE JEALOUS
OF ME, FIREFLY, AND NOW I KNOW.

HUMAN TORCH
YEAH, RIGHT! YOU WERE BASICALLY
WETTIN’ YOUR SHORTS!

3) The robot swings its wrecking ball arm at the two unsuspecting
friends as they continue to playfully insult each other.

ICEMAN
SAYS THE DUDE THAT ONLY TOOK OUT
ONE HIMSELF.

HUMAN TORCH
WHATEVER. JUST ADMIT IT... THE
HUMAN TORCH IS ON FIRE!

ICEMAN

4) The wrecking ball opens and enlarges just as it reaches the two
heroes. They’re still unaware until it’s too late.

ICEMAN
(jagged)
GRAAAGH!

HUMAN TORCH
(jagged)
AGGGGHH!

5) The ball closes on them before they can escape, trapping them
inside.

ROBOT #5
(O.S)
TARGET SECURE. RETURNING TO BASE.

PAGE 16

1) Transition to Spidey using one of the dinos momentum against it

to force it backwards through the air with his feet.

SPIDER-MAN
DON’T GET ME WRONG, I HAVE A FEW
BADDIES THAT TRY TO EAT ME, BUT
THEY’RE USUALLY A BIT MORE HUMAN...
‘CEPT VENOM.

2) Deadpool flips backwards while firing his gun at two dinos that
have him in their sights. One is slashing at him while the other
is leaping at him in an attempt to bite his arm. These things are
speculated to be much more dangerous in packs.

F.X.
POW POW POW!

VELOCIRAPTOR (BOTH)
RAAAAAAWR!

3) DP shoots one Dino, but the other one is clamped onto his arm.
The Dino that was shot is on the ground, defunct.

F.X.

4) A dino attached to a web stream slams into the dino on DP’s

arm. DP, himself, is in pain and has dropped his gun.

F.X.
KER-PLUNK!

SPIDER-MAN
(O.S.)
HEY, I NOTICED YOU COULD USE A
HAND!

DEADPOOL
OH HARDEE HAR HAR!

PAGE 17

1) DP, still with one hurt hand/arm, brandishes his katana and
points it at Spidey. Spidey is a little caught off guard.

DEADPOOL
THINK THAT’S FUNNY, SPIDEY? THEN
YOU’RE IN FOR A REAL HOOT!

SPIDER-MAN
WAIT--WHAT? IT WAS JUS’A JOKE!

DEADPOOL CAPTION
POOR, TOBEY. HE’LL HAVE TO LEARN--

2) DP throws his katana at Spidey, who flips over it. The sword
embeds itself into a dino that was sneaking up on our oblivious,
arachno inspired hero.

DEADPOOL CAPTION
--LEAVE THE JOKIN’ TO THE PROS AND
THE PROS WILL LEAVE THE “BRAND NEW
DAYIN’” TO HIM!

F.X.

4) The final velociraptor attempts to escape throughout the

streets. Deadpool, with his arm finally healed, points at the
fleeing target.

DEADPOOL
LOOKY, THAT ONE’S TRYING TO RUN
HOME TO MOMMA. RACE YA!

SPIDER-MAN
YOU SERIOUSLY DON’T EXPECT ME TO--

5) Deadpool rushes down the street after his fleeing prey. Spider-
man can’t believe he’s being drawn into games with a supposed
“hero.”

DEADPOOL
(burst)
WHEEEEEEE!

I CAN’T BELIEVE I’M DOING THIS--

6) Spidey swings off behind his opponent hoping to catch the dino
first.

FUN!

1) Large panel. DP is walking the streets by himself looking for
