AGAIN - STAN LEE'S LITERARY LAPSES...

Copyright MARVEL COMICS

Here's another little belter from the backyard of bygone bloopers in what I like to call STAN LEE's 'literary lapses'.  This one's from X-MEN #)) where The MIMIC has kidnapped JEAN GREY and is driving her out to his father's old laboratory in a deserted mine.  Take a look - Jean (in her MARVEL GIRL costume) is blindfolded, yet manages to 'see' that they're at a deserted mine and that CAL RANKIN's wings have gone.  What makes that last observation all the more remarkable (if there can be something more remarkable than being able to see with a blindfold on) is the fact that he's behind her, so that's not something she could have noticed anyway, even with her eyes uncovered.

Also, he says that he wants the X-Men to follow him, so why blindfold Jean?  It matters not a jot if she sees where she's going if The Mimic wants to be followed.  Stanley, you ol' rascal - you weren't paying attention again, were you?  (Probably dialoguing the FF and THOR at the same time as this one.)
