They Hug, And Bonk, And Hug Some More

Adorable Baby Panda is doing better this week. The bump on the noggin from last week is all better, and hopefully, ABP's disposition has improved along with it. Be aware that there will certainly be spoilers involved.

Applause - Tony Stark. ABP had heard a rumor that Stark saved innocent lives in this week's Iron Man. I confirmed this, so ABP felt that Tony deserved a round of applause. {For the record, I opted not to show ABP Civil War: Frontline #11, where Tony's little swath of destruction was laid out. It would be too depressing, you know?}

Bonk - Terrax. Destroying an entire planet just because the people disgust you is not cool! {Damned impressive, though.}

Applause, Bonk - Stardust. Awww, you preserved the lives of the last of your species. Wait, did you just feed the last of your kind to Galactus to get your old job back?! Booooo! {Stardust is very mercurial, isn't....it.}

Applause - Dr. Strange. Saved friend's life. Beat stuffing out of guy that was trying to stop him, barehanded. {ABP wants to learn how to fight from Wong.} Got the best lines. Got the girl. You go Sorcerer Supreme!

Hugs - Wong. For not dying. And for teaching Dr. Strange to kick butt. Pandas appreciate hand-to-hand combat skill, and especially those that would willing pass the knowledge on.

Applause - Night Nurse. Looks like this is the one time the shadowy corporate officials won't be getting away clean. {I'm left wondering whether taking out a major pharmecutical company - assuming that fax will do that - will cause everyone's medicinal costs to rise, what with less competition and all.} And, you've got a new place to treat injured heroes. {Probably just the unregistered ones though.}

Hug, Bonk - Sage. Everyone else was being nice, trying to stay positive, and mostly supportive. But, Nocturne needed a good kick in the rear, so as to not lose all hope, and Sage delivered that. Plus, you let Nocturne dress up your body how she likes to look. {That was pretty nice, given that Sage could apparently kick Noctunre out whenever she pleased.} Still, you were kind of mean to a person who was feeling sad. {Clearly, ABP is torn on this one.}

Hug - John Madrox. You've done a fine job making a life for yourself, and now you get to keep it. That's good, since you know what it's like to grow up with no father. {Well, no parents really, but even losing one parent could have really stunted young Daniel's growth.}

Applause - Jamie Madrox. ABP knows you were a little shook after the HYDRA incident, what with suffocating all those agents, and not really caring much. Getting another piece of yourself back must have seemed like the best way to correct that. But instead you thought of others first, and that was sweet of you.

Applause, Bonk - Monet. Look, saving the orphaned ex-mutant child was good. The crucifying of a bigoted murderer, well, that would have been more acceptable if done someplace other than a police station. {What? Pandas are like the ninja. They strike silently, from the shados, leaving only unexplained corpses behind.} But breaking out of jail, fleeing the police, then feeling the country with a child who likely doesn't have her passport? Tsk, tsk. {I have to think that SHIELD is going to get a message about two superhumans escaping a French jail and fleeing to America. What then Monet? You gonna beat up Iron Man? Well, you'll have to wait your turn. There's a pretty long line for that, but it's cool. Tony knew that would happen all along.}

So what do you have for an Adorable Baby Panda to hug, applaud or bonk?
