Heh, I was just wondering about Juggs.

[akodo_rokku]

That looks like it's Collossusnaut, not Cain. I'm betting Marko's a normal dude and back in prison.

[omgwtflolbbqbye]

Could Peter choose to leave parts of his body unarmored before? I always remembered it as being an all on/off kind of thing.

[tsunamiwombat]

He's not, he's wearing the collosus costume overtop his armored body- oh I see what you mean, his face isn't metal! ...Yeah thats wierd.

[long_silence]

Why isn't Juggernaut/Colossus' face metal?

[drmcninja]

Magic!

[proteus_lives]

A wizard did it!

[blake_reitz]

Coloring error (I hope)!

[thandrak]

Interesting. Only two of those are heroes. Possibly three, if it's Colossus. Magneto under Scott's command? Magneto under EMMA'S command?

[kamino_neko]

I'm kind of wondering why they bothered to silhouette Mags...with that pose and the billowing cape, there was no way he could be anyone else.

[long_silence]

He could have been crazy wedding Lorna

Or Storm without a tiara

[x5455]

WIN!

[newnumber6]

Cover? If you silhouette him, you don't notice the outlines of Cyclops' body or Danger's distinctive hair.

[kamino_neko]

Mmm. Yes. Very true, good point.

[protogarrett]

...This is just plain odd. Yay Danger though.

[drmcninja]

I love seeing her. She's just a really cool character.

[drmcninja]

So this looks like the power team. An omega class telepath, the master of magnetism and possibly other things, a literally unstoppable tank, and an all-purpose super intelligent alien robot that can change its biology(?) to help itself out, plus the man with a nuke in his head. Good luck wolverine.

[salinea]

... and Illyana.

[rallamajoop]

You mean the teleporter with the magic sword who appears to be on first-name basis with a bunch of ancient gods? I'd say she fits in pretty well.

(That or she ends up being their glorified driver.)

[drmcninja]

Yeah, I'm sorry. I saw her, I just blanked her out while typing. She's easily up there in terms of sheer power.

[bruinsfan]

She's actually my pick for most powerful and dangerous X-Man even when the lineup includes Magneto, Storm, and Xavier.

[salinea]

You reassure me. I was just amused she was pointedly missed by the good doctormcninja XD

[drmcninja]

Hey, don't judge me! Fighting intelligent dinosaurs in the future for the sake of humanity is a very distracting endeavor, I'll have you know!

[jasiri.livejournal.com]

If you added Legion and Frenzy (who I'm surprised to not find following Mags around) it would be the team of "People Cyclops Probably Thinks He Needs To Kill If They Go Rogue"

[drmcninja]

Sorry, I blanked her out while I was typing. I swear I saw her.

[drmcninja]

I'm sorry, I can't even get over this. Exactly who is this team supposed to fight? The sheer power this team has could flatten literally any earthly opponent without much trouble. Its absurd.

[lilacsigil]

Like any X-Men team worth its salt, this team will probably just fight each other and have moral conflicts over who else they should or shouldn't fight!

[drmcninja]

True, but boring. That makes me sad.

[suzene]

As always, the X-Men are only as powerful as the plot dictates, regardless of past performance.

[long_silence]

It seems that the first arc will be up against a resurrected Mr. Sinister, so I guess that might mean a clone army of Marauders?

[drmcninja]

Still boring. He's good, and he could probably beat some of them individually, or even in smaller groups, but I don't think this team together. He could stil put up a really good fight though, so maybe not so boring? I can't believe I'm actually happy to anticipate this. Thanks!

[arilou_skiff]

It is kind of interesting. There's very few teams on their level. A couple that are HIGHER level (Defenders, Annihilators...) would squash them.

[drmcninja]

But the Annihilators are cosmic and I doubt they'll show up here, and I don''t think the Defenders are an active team at the moment, what with Namor in Utopia, Strange having his own problems, Banner with his family, and a new ghost rider.

I really hope this doesn't turn into a normal X Men book, with more angst and power levels that fluctuate by the issue. They've even offset the Inverse Ninja Law!

Maybe...

[steverodgers5]

...they'll fight the Avengers? Since that's Wolvie's 'other' team. Or one of them anyway ;)

Seriously though I wonder how strong Jussy Colossus is now? Do you think he's much stronger than cain would be? i.e His own steel strength plus Juggernauts? Because that would pretty much put him as top of the heavy weights...

Re: Maybe...

[bruinsfan]

I don't think Colossus' inherent strength would make all that much difference; the power granted to Juggernaut puts him on a level with the Hulk when enraged. I'd imagine Gladiator and Count Nefaria are the only others in that strength class who don't have access to cosmic power.

[jlbarnett]

how... bland.

[midnightvoyager]

I'll just not comment on how the first reaction a friend has to this was "I have no idea who half of those are." The second being "Wait, that's COLOSSUS?!"

What I must say is... Cyclops looks HILARIOUSLY NORMAL right there. He looks like some asshole cosplayer photobombing.

[midnightvoyager]

I may see the problem. Sortof. With Cyclops.

Aside from thenon-pose, omething looks... wrong about his muscles. Is it just me or is his six-pack really tall? And he's sorta got a mile of area. And... Maybe it's perspective being a bit messed up. Looks like he's wearing a padded muscle suit.

Agh, it gets weirder the more I look at it!

[zenbro]

The rectus abdominis muscles shouldn't be that uniform, especially the bottom three pairs - they're different shapes on each side. Also the shading makes it appear as if they project out at the same distance as the pectoral muscles, which is not right.

[kd_the_movie]

ugggh magik. This team doesn't interest me at all and having Magik on the roster makes it irredeemable.

[newnumber6]

Almost the opposite for me. "I don't really care, and I resent both losing Magik from NM and that her appearances here are about the only draw that might get me to pick up the book."

(Well, that and her and Colossus actually being on the same team book)

[lieut_kettch]

Not really keeping up with the X-books-- does the Juggernaut armor on Colossus mean Piotr has the Gem of Cytorrak now?

[stolisomancer]

In the most recent issue, Juggernaut is menacing San Francisco, so in an attempt to stop him, Illyana teleports to Cytorrak's realm and points out that Juggy's playing for a different team right now. This means Cytorrak needs a new avatar, and Colossus jumped at it so neither Kitty or Illyana would have to.

[rickperry]

Sorry is this title relaunching to #1?

[gtrout]

...I'm sorry, what were you saying? It's the icon. Well, it's the ass in the icon. How do you do, Jake?

[rickperry]

I'm asking what's going on with this title. is it starting from #1 now? lol

[darrylayo]

I don't want to read this. :(

[red_xera]

yawn.
