Irma Ahmed - Nightcrawler and Nightwing - Avast!

I love that Irma Ahmed took my phrasing of them as "Swashbuckling heroes" and made it wonderfully literal!

So here we have Kurt "I'm not Errol Flynn, but I'm an Errol Flynn character" Wagner and Dick "I'm not Burt Lancaster in The Crimson Pirate, oh who am I kidding I am TOTALLY Burt Lancaster in the Crimson Pirate" Grayson, buckling their swashes like billy-oh.

Why are they dressed (or half dressed) as pirates? I think a better question would be "Why aren't they ALWAYS dressed (or half dressed) as pirates?"
