"You wanted to see me, professor?"
"Ah, yes, Kurt. I've wanted to talk to you about your uniform."
"My uniform?"
"Yes, it appears to be…inadequate for your needs."
"I don't understand, professor. I can teleport fine and my hands and feet fit in it perfectly, not to mention my tail…."
"I'm aware of all that, Kurt; after all, the suit was designed just for you. Unfortunately, we didn't foresee your problem while in the designing stage."
"My problem? What problem?"
"Kurt, after discussing this with Logan and Ororo, I've decided to add this to your uniform."
"….That's a hard hat, professor."
"Yes it is. We haven't had much time to design one to match your uniform, what with Apocalypse and all, so you'll have to wear this whenever you fight."
"But why?"
"You get hit on the head a lot."
"Vas?"
"Kurt, your mutation is a defensive one, and comes in handy whenever we need a quick get-away. And, while it's a useful mutation, it is only useful when you are conscious. As you tend to get knocked out a lot, this poses as a problem. And, I've finally thought of something that will protect your head."
"This?"
"Yes."
"A hard hat."
"Only until we can create a better alternative."
"What about Kitty, professor? Will she be getting one as well."
"Kitty does not get knocked out every episode-"
"Huh?"
"-and so she doesn't need one when we fight. You have had more head injuries than anyone else, Kurt. That's why you have to wear this. Now, I believe the Brotherhood is acting up again. Why don't you go gather the others and try out the new addition to your uniform?"
"All right, professor…."
I don't even know if this is actually funny. I just find it to be so.
So, my brother and I were watching my Xmen dvd's and remarked that Kurt needed a helmet to go with his fighting uniform, because in nearly every single episode, he gets knocked out and is just useless. This story sprung from that.
