That didn't felt right at the time, but it opened the door for the best story with her in it, 30 years later: Hellions #4. A really good swansong.

I honestly have never really felt attached to the X-men (other than the 90's animated show) characters in anyway really so changes to them, and/or to the setting or whatever never really bothered me. I really just like good X-Men stories no matter their impact on them as a whole. Unless it's just ridiculous beyond imagination. And even then I might just laugh and keep on reading.
Inferno interests me, from the covers I've seen and the basic premise, because it seems more like a Ghost Rider or some other supernatural character story, rather than an X-Men story. Like how the Brood stand out in their rogue gallery as an enemy more suited to other Marvel heroes. So to me it doesn't look like normal X-Men fare.

So who first drew the Super-hero landing? Made famous in Iron Man and mocked in Deadpool. I has a sense this pose has been around since the Golden Age. But do we know who started it?

I've no clue when the three-point landing first became a superhero trope but I've always associated it with Spider-Man.

The general posture, whether as a landing or not, is so very Kirby.

a quick google didn't find an image. . but my immediate 1st thought was that it's very likely a Hulk book (probably drawn by Kirby).
Hulk used to "jump" from place to place - and so plenty of opportunities for his "landing" to be drawn.
so I'll go with it's from a Hulk pose.

So is the Baltimore series of minis tied in with the Hellboy universe or is it its own thing? I have a bead on all the Baltimore trades, but I'm not ready to pull the trigger on going full Hellboy quite yet.

I has a sense this pose has been around since the Golden Age. The Golden Age doesn't seem likely, maybe not even the Silver. I have to look for it.

I don't think it's from comics at all. It's much older. Fact is, "tripod" is the stablest formation.

I'm not sure when this started in terms of a comics trope, but the Iron Man image referenced above from the movie and from the movie poster was a direct reference to an Iron Man cover that came out in 2004, four years before the movie:

I don't know if this is where it started, but I think that tripod landing stance or pose has been used a lot in HK martial arts movies, going back decades. I'm just going by memory, so I can't cite any specific examples off the top of my head.
