X-Force Annual #2

Adam-X, the X-TREME!! You’re welcome.

I think I will leave it there. This is entirely too X-TREME for me.

I am not sure if X-TREME is Nicieza taking the piss or if he is an earnest attempt at creating a character too radical for words.

So many classic new characters to stand the test of time like Hitman, Anima, Gunfire and—oops wrong company.

No, no, Marvel’s sole success from this run was Legacy, aka Genis-Vell. Followed by X-Cutioner and Adam-X but that’s not saying much. A few of the rest turn up from time to time for crowd scenes, some not even that.

Let's not forget Bloodwraith and, um... Bantam?

A quick search only comes up with Fitzroy's sidekick, which tells you all you need.

(from the back of the room) I remember Bantam!
... mainly because I got the Epic Collection with his debut in it.
And the Civil War tie-in where he got brought back to die.
(sigh)

The search jogged my memory of sone other new folks. Like the guy from the Iron Man Annual that stole faces, or the Devourer from the Daredevil Annual that didn't even warrant a spot on the cover. The cover featured Simon Garth, the Zombie, from one of the annual's back-up stories.

Also, a lot of people with powered armour.
