Rahne Sinclair/Wolfsbane: Maisie Williams(YESSSS!) (Arya Stark in Game of Thrones, Ashildr/Lady Me in Doctor Who)
Charles Xavier/Professor X: James McAvoy (also plays Xavier in this summer's X-Men: Apocalypse and its two predecessors)
It's not Luke Cage, but in casting news for Iron Fist:
Danny Rand/Iron Fist will be played by Finn Jones (Loras Tyrell from Game of Thrones), and Colleen Wing will be played by Jessica Henwick (Nymeria Sand of Dorn from Game of Thrones, Resistance fighter pilot Jessika Pava from Star Wars: The Force Awakens).
Well, I hope that dark gritty and grimdark starts to vanish by the time Wonder Woman comes up. Suicide Squad- there it fits the bill better. But Shazam is the least grim thing ever. So are the Flash, Booster Gold & Blue Beetle and Green Lantern Corps. At least Goyer is not writing those movies and Snyder not directing.
BLUE AND GOLD!
Starring Alan Tudyk and Nathan Fillion, respectively.
The "Jay" that has been running around without speed? Few possibilities.
1. Clone.
2. Hunter Zolomon aka twin of Jay.
3. "The Rival"
Seriously though, Zoom feels like Savitar.

Who is Zoom?
Spoiler:
Come on. It has to be Earth 3 Wally West. It's the only logical thing I can think of. The whole mask thing, I'm positive is the ORIGINAL Jay Garrick from Earth-2 Justice Society. The other guy from Earth-2 is a clone that Zoom fed off and keeps in the dark because he needs Speed Force and getting that Jayclone to be a guinea pig for Velocity 9 is the best way to do that when he runs out of Speed Force guys to feed on.
Spoiler:
Yeah, Iron Mask is definitely a Jay Garrick, and I'm guessing he's the real Jay. That also leads me to think the "Jay" that visited Earth 1 is either:
a) Earth 2's Hunter Zolomon
b) A clone of Jay Garrick
Either Zolomon attempting to replicate Jay's powers or a clone of Jay could have the cellular degeneration problem. And either would explain why they haven't been forthcoming to the Team Flash. Heck, even Zoom could be another Jay clone who discovered that the Speed Force is the only thing that stops his cellular decay. If that's the case, then it isn't Velocity 9 healing the other/"visitor" Jay's cells, but the Speed Force, and Velocity 9 is just the catalyst to access it. And getting Earth 1's Team Flash to perfect V9 is the key that Zoom needs to stop feeding on Flashes and directly access the Speed Force.
But I think it's even a better fit that Zoom is Savitar, who is using the Jay clone/Zolomon as a guinea pig in his quest to perfect his (Zoom's) ability to access the Speed Force. And before this is over, I'm thinking, hoping, Harry's daughter Jessie ends up injected with V9 too.
Edit: Could Harry's Jessie already have the potential to become a speedster? Zoom could have kidnapped her to experiment on next after all his Jays/Zolomons/clones burnout/die off.
The people of Canada consume more Kraft Macaroni & Cheese (sold under the name Kraft Dinner in Canada) than any other nation on earth, purchasing 1.7 million (~24%) of the 7 million boxes sold globally each week. The packaged dry pasta and cheese mix is the most popular grocery item in the country, where "Kraft Dinner" (often referred to simply as "KD") has become a generic trademark of sorts for macaroni and cheese.

We shan't leave until the new year rings!
Well, except to get presents tomorrow... and then there's the General's family party on Christmas.. then my family... and of course Pea Bear is going up north for a few days... ah, f!@% it! Maybe I can craft a pillow Hazmat suit...
Just go Sumo man, Get an oversized sweatshirt put as many pillows as possible underneath and then attack!

Maybe Paizo needs to bring in some Winger to drive them off :-)
He has enough trouble herding our study group and repairing the Dean's well-intentioned mismanagement of Greendale; I don't think he has the time to shut down spammers too.
Move that we call warriors who wield exclusively aspergillis, "aspergilloons." Seconded?
Maybe a prestige class...
Perhaps if they are mounted. I think I prefer aspergillites for light armor aspergillium wielders, aspergillista for monk or brawler derived PrCs, and aspergillic for constantly drunk wielders of aspergilliums. Aspergerillium for theses who have aspergers and wield an aspergillium, and then there is the great As-per-gilliam for a very funny wielder of an aspergillium.
(frankly, I find the X-Men a poor excuse for super-powered beings... before the X-Men, one had to think of a cool origin story for a character's power, but this mutant business came and introduced untold amounts of super powered beings for no good reason - don't give me that crap about evolution taking course over only one or two generations due to pollution etc. if that would be the case the resulting evolution would be "resistance to polluted air" there. done. finished. Bob's your uncle. The term "mutant" would take a whole new meaning and I'm not sure the regular humans - dying horribly of chronic respiratory disorders - would bother "registering" the "humans that look like they're breathing just fine over there")
Think of WHEN the X-Men came out. The point of the series was not to get into a biological treatise on the nature of super powers. It's to tell a story of race prejudice and hatried in a different way. The mutant question was a way to tackle on a story that couldn't be done face on... racial prejudice and xenophobia.

I really want to play this. So many possibilities...
Where is my time machine so I can go forward in time and pick up the completed AP from my FLGS 18 months from now?
The current regeneration of Doctor Sutter has borrowed it to prevent intertemporal war from breaking out when the Sontaran kebab truck cannot get room to park and set up outside Gen Con 2017 because the Ice Warriors' gelato cart and Silurian taco wagon refuse to move.
Tip: If you're there, don't eat any of the "Paula Deen" fried Adipose-on-a-stick... at least, not if you're not into body horror.
Christmas crackers, when first invented, were called 'Cossacks', so in Victorian times, the whole family would gather round the table, limber up, then simultanously pull a Cossack over the turkey
That could shed an entirely different light on a certain Jame's Bond villain's backstory and motivations...
I'm sorry that I prefer BBC Television over my American counter-parts. But in my defense, I can't resist watching Dr. Who. I guess it's my alck of willpower.
This reminds me... I apologize to Chris for watching marathons of Gordon Ramsay's shows on BBC America when I housesit. I also apologize that this is on a satellite setup, so my watching adds to the ratings, which makes BBC America execs think showing hours of Ramsay reruns is a good idea.
I feel like I am failing at Halloween. I have every light on and the door wide open and the trick-or-treaters keep walking past my house. I think it is because the house is set so far back from the road and it has lots of doors, so people are just too confused to bother.
Or they've seen too many horror/slasher movies and aren't falling for the obvious trap.
At the very end of the movie you can see a downed alien baseship crashed in Sydney Harbour...
The Australian army would have that thing dismantled and put to use straight away. Ask anybody that served with us in any war if we could nick it and use it we would.
Ah, that explains:
