Greetings True Believers! Necrosha continues as a contingent of the X-Men battle Proteus on Muir Island. Here are a few bits. Spoilers and enjoy!
Suggested Tags: char: proteus/kevin mactaggert, char: rogue/anna marie, char: nightcrawler/kurt wagner, char: blindfold/ruth aldine, char: colossus/piotr rasputin, char: magneto/erik magnus lehnsherr, title: x-men legacy, event: necrosha, creator: mike carey, creator: clay mann
Proteus has taken over Blindfold's body and is battling the X-Men.
We flashback to 3 hours ago and start learning about Proteus and his plan.

Mags and the other Xers burst in and Proteus begins wiping the floor with them. He remembers Colossus.

Proteus has better control of his powers now.

Very Agent Smith.

Like I said, very Agent Smith.
Proteus kicks their asses up and down the island. Possessing Psylocke, Husk and Trance. Mags is his main opponent. One funny bit is that Magneto uses an unconscious Colossus as Rock'em Sock'em robot against Proteus.
Magneto declares that the final battle will be between him and Proteus.


I liked this issue, they referenced the old X-Factor/X-Force/New Warriors annual cross-over that was the last 616 appearance of Proteus. I wish that Proteus would survive Necrosha but I doubt it.

Date: 2010-01-28 05:54 am (UTC)PAD's been implying that any mutant could get their power back through deep trancing. Of course, how many people do you know who are honestly capable of a deep trance?

Date: 2010-01-28 04:43 am (UTC)change the dialogue some on the speech balloons and you have instaPr0n! i mean, there's purple sparkly electricity arcing from Kur's CROTCH. and he's sort of got an "GRUNTING WIF PHYSICAL EFFORT" expression. and blindfold's looking kind of smug. and rogue's head is...well. that's kind of obvious.
i smell threesome. :D
(...wait, is it a threesome if you're technically inhabiting two of the participants? o_O)

Date: 2010-01-28 05:57 am (UTC)1. Does it mention why Proteus doesn't bother to possess Rogue, or does he try later on?
2. When Colossus smacked Blindfold, did she actually revert to herself for a second? Because her speech bubbles went normal for one panel afterwards.

Date: 2010-01-28 06:41 am (UTC)2. A split-second. Colossus's metal killed Proteus before so he either has a weakness toward it and it disrupted his control or Proteus is just scared of Peter.

Date: 2010-01-29 10:39 pm (UTC)In this issue Psylocke says that when Proteus "died" his energy dispersed all over Muir Island, he was kinda trapped between life and death that way.
So my theory is that when Wanda created the House of M, history changed so that that never happened and Proteus left with the Exiles. And when HoM, Wanda put everything back to how it was before (with the exception of "No more mutants", Muir Island was once again saturated with Proteus' being even though he had technically left.
