Based on her pic on these teasers, all fangs point to "LAME"

I know it was cool to hate her during the ninties... but the character had way more potential than she was usually given credit for.
Stuff like this is a big reason why I don't like the current post-Jemas direction for Marvel. (One of the biggest turn-offs since Quesada took over was depowering all the mutants save for 200, or some shit. I could understand scaling back. They were right that there were too many. But there were hundreds of ways around that without "depowering" anyone)

You know, the idea of depowering didn't seem all that bad...at first. When I saw the mutant power "collective" hovering just above Earth's atmosphere at the end of House of M, I thought we would just eventually see those individual powers be returned to "surviving" characters as Marvel deemed necessary.

But instead, it went into that Vindicator look alike who joined the Dark X-Men and I was pretty pissed at that point. I agree, there were definitely way too many mutants...but wasn't destroying Genosha enough?

Like you said, it was fun to pick on Jubilee in the 90's, but now they've gone as far as to call R Kelly in to pee on her while signing her up for a future Twilight story. Hyperbole? Barely.

While I didn't care much for the House of M, I've really enjoyed the aftermath. It's made for some interesting ideas

If you want a good laugh at Liefeld's expense go here The 40 Worst Rob Liefeld Drawings: CASUALTY OF WAR!! - Progressive Boink
I could not breath I was laughing so hard and I woke my wife up to boot.

Depowering mutants was dumb imo because a lot of cool/potentially cool mutants lost their powers and I don't think they had a 'back up' for when they wanted to get them back involved with the X-clan except for this stupid vampire type stuff. And they introduced newer characters that were nothing more than previous mutants packaged differently.

Man I really do need to catch up on my comics.

Nexodusrex · 09-06-2011, 06:40 AM

Marvel just released some more people on Cyclops's group

Transonic and Primal stay in Generation Hope, Danger confirmed. we've seen Cyclops and Magneto in the first posts picture. Moonstar in new mutants

Psylocke confirmed for Uncanny. which makes you have to stop and say "Who the hell is that girl in Uncanny X-Force? Psylocke? Or Sombody else"

Cool link if anything just to remind me of his artwork. There are some problems with his artwork but I still love his 90's XForce and others work. As I already said, I do hate his artwork when he over emphasises the size of some of the characters.
His work along with Jim Lee's, Mcfarlanes, and Eric Larson reminds me of when I used to enjoy reading comic books and admiring the artwork.

So Primal is Teons codename... Got it.

I really hope that is Psylocke and they're not bringing back Revanche

Veronica Mars · 09-06-2011, 01:34 PM

It's very possible that Betsy isn't taking sides and is working with both Cyke and Wolvie

xhavoc86 · 09-06-2011, 01:54 PM

Psylocke could be working both sides of the fence, but it could also be a number of things... AoA Nightcrawler is on the team, why not AoA Psylocke? or maybe Kwannon is back? wouldnt be the first time dead people come back.... I also heard the possibility that it could be Elektra. Typhoid Mary is another name being thrown around.

True, does Cyclops even know about the new X-Force team yet?

Didn't cyclops make the X-Force team? I could be wrong. I'm so lost when it comes to more recent comics lol

Cyclops made it for his black ops team. Everyone in the X-men found out and gave him hell, so he disbanded them. After all that, Wolverine "agreed" and then walks into a room with the current team and then there you go, new x-force team without the x-men knowing.

ORIO · 09-06-2011, 03:28 PM

^ Right. I could see Psylocke acting as a double agent. Or maybe she's neutral. Picking and choosing her battles.

Also, that Rob Liefeld link made me pee myself.

ORIO · 09-07-2011, 12:56 PM

Some new additions today on Wolvies teams. Strong Guy, Beast, Psylocke. And I can't make out that other one. Is that the kid from Schism? I'm calling him "Finger guns"

Edit; oh, his name is Kid Omega. Didn't see Siryn back there either.

Man all you have to do is run away from Wolverine lol. He looks like he needs to lay off the donuts

ORIO · 09-07-2011, 01:46 PM

I'm not surprised at the return of Beast, as he was at odds with Cyke anyway. But... I kinda wished he'd stay away for awhile. Let him play with the Avengers. It's cool.

Hey puts the donuts on his claws so no one can get them lol.

Crazy Jetty · 09-07-2011, 02:12 PM

While I enjoy the X-Men as a group, I also enjoy them spread out. Beast as an Avenger was fun. Beast as a member of SWORD was even *more* fun.

ORIO · 09-07-2011, 02:18 PM

Just two theories on two missing characters

edit: damn. why can't I do spoiler tags?

xhavoc86 · 09-07-2011, 03:13 PM

X-Force still looks like the best team, although I'm still hoping that Archangel will be in it as well...

TheSymbiote · 09-07-2011, 03:17 PM

Whatever happened to the characters of Young X-Men?
