The crimes of the 1990s will never end...

I can imagine the conversation...

SAM: Guys, we're some of the most powerful mutants on the planet--why do we need these guns, anyway?
SHATTERSTAR: GUNS!!!
SAM: But don't you usually use swords, Shatterstar?
SHATTERSTAR: GUNS! GUNS THAT SHOOT SWORDS!!!!
SAM: What about you, Rictor? You can make flippin' earthquakes! Why would you need a gun?
RICTOR: Dude, because they're so shiny and cool!!
SAM: Sigh...what about you, Bobby?
BOBBY: Sounds like someone is jealous that I have the biggest gun!!
SHATTERSTAR: (snorts). Mine's bigger!!

It's been quite a while since we've researched The Lyingest Cover In Marvel History.

 Well, 20 years ago this month...

Sadly for us, Cable and Deadpool BOTH "walked away," and have stubbornly refused to die, despite many a fake-out over the past 2 decades.

Of course, one of the ground rules I layed out lo those many years ago was that over-hyperbolic captions were not enough to actually qualify a particular cover as The Lyingest Cover In Marvel History. So, I guess X-Force #15 (1992) can't really be TLCIMH.

So, all we can do is gaze wistfully at the cover and wish it had been true...
