A new X-men team?

[sherkahn]

IGN has the question we are all dying to know. Key word here is dying.



Unless your an X-man, which means if another mutant comes back, it must be Tuesday.



So this time around... it's not Jean, not Kurt, not Cable. But Madrox?

Must be all the dupes that have been killed. We do have banshee, Thunderbird 1, looks like the two dead Stepford Cuckoos sisters.

suggested tags:
group: X-men
character: Banshee/Sean Cassidy
character: Thunderbird/John Proudstar
character: Esme Cuckoo
character: Sophie Cuckoo

So now we have a team of dead Avengers and a team of dead X-Men? That said, Banshee! Missed you, buddy!

[euthanatos]

sigh

[icon_uk]

Doug's probably grateful he got out of the grave before the rush started.

[long_silence]

He got out with the last rush. He just so happens to be the only one to have stuck around.

[long_silence]

Where the heck is Moira?

[sherkahn]

Not a mutant. Just a mother of a powerful one.

[long_silence]

I know that but I was hoping that since we just had Necrosha where only mutants were (temporarily) resurrected, Moira would get a shot this time.

it's you're not your

[jazzypom]

But damn, Bashee?!

Oh hai!

[mullon]

I have never been so not impressed with people walking out of a giant ball of fire.

[midnightvoyager]

This.

[terrykun]

You are of course aware, that cool guys don't look at explosions, yes?

[jetblack927]

Why did I suddenly hear that line from Bender in my head...

"He did it!! and he's not looking back at that cool explosion? He's a hero!!!"

LMAO!!!

[thokstar]

So, in response to Blackest Night, we've now seen undead X-men (Necrosha), vampire X-men, and more X-men back from the dead (what I assume is part of Chaos War)?

[northstarfan]

Unless they're accompanied by a truckload of dead X-Kids and GenX-ers, can't say I care much.

[auggie18]

Word. I want DJ and Wallflower back, like, yesterday. Damn over looked X-kids...

[freezer]

So very motto.

[jlbarnett]

where's Nightcrawler?

I bet it has something to do with Generation Hope.

[northstarfan]

You know, I can't begrudge Kieron Gillen a paycheck, but Generation Hope is quite possibly the most underwhelming new X-Team I've ever seen (particularly design-wise) being put together at a time when the ranks of the X-Men are already bloated with established characters who are lucky to get cameo appearances. I really hope he comes up with a kick-ass concept to make it stand out.

[jlbarnett]

the story I really want to see with Hope Summers is she runs into the Collective(or whatever he's called these days) and her powers flare up and rip out the stolen powers, repowering some old mutants and maybe giving some new ones powers, and possibly causing weird combinations.

[long_silence]

It's a Chaos War tie-in. Similar to Dead Avengers, Ares and Alpha Flight.

[protogarrett]

Of all the dead X-men they use two Cuckoos and untold number of Maddrox? Given, the latter is intriguing but lord... Revanche, Joseph, Sway, Petra, Changeling, Maggot, NIghtcrawler... Need I go on?

Must we focus on Thunderbird all the time? An X-Men who died due to stupidity?
"Jump off the jet! We'll still win if you do!"
"NEVER!!!" *death*

[kenn_el]

Bucky did it first.

[wasabi.livejournal.com]

Plus, James Proudstar took over John's role and eclipsed him by having far more character development, so bringing John back seems kind of silly.

[protogarrett]

Yeah, he gets WAY too much focus when it comes to remembrance. Lord, Changeling and Sunfire should be so lucky. Heck, and Sunfire is still alive (though he is kind of an asshole).

[long_silence]

Nightcrawler died like five minutes ago. Focusing on him so soon really lessens the impact of his death.

Revanche was recently rezzed in the Sisterhood storyline, kinda. It's best to just let her stay in the ground for a while until someone can write a story involving her that isn't convoluted and confusing (that may not be possible).

Sway and Petra and Changeling just weren't very important.

[dejadrew]

Nightcrawler died like five minutes ago. Focusing on him so soon really lessens the impact of his death.

Pssh, like that's ever stopped them. How long was Wolverine "dead" before they revealed he was a skrull? One issue? I think it was one issue.

[northstarfan]

Wasn't Thunderbird 1.0 waltzing around just recently in Necrosha?

[long_silence]

Yeah he was, it's probably too soon to focus on him again.

But resurrecting Revanche, Petra or Sway just brings up some really confusing and unfortunate storylines that are better off forgotten.

[protogarrett]

And Proudstar was?

[long_silence]

More so than Petra or Sway at least.

He survived until his second mission with the X-men. jks.

[silverzeo]

So.. this would make the... what is it now? 20, 21. Team in Marvel that has "x" in it?

[nightauditguy]

Siryn's going to be happy her dad's back.

[grazzt]

And to be right for expecting him to come back.

I bet Layla has already made plans to stop the inevitable torrent of I-told-you-sos.

[selke]

"Braaaaaiiinnnsssss...."

[schala_kid]

I'm surprised that Marvel has managed to not resurrect Jean yet again.

[goblinthebamf]

ok, I admit, including every dead dupe in an undead battle does amuse me.

[thatnickguy]

All new! (except, you know, it's another X-Men story)

All different! (Except, you know starring characters we've seen before dozens of times. Oh, and a lot of them are/were dead. But this is X-Men where the revolving door on Heaven was removed for the sake of convienence).

[darrylayo]

I think I quit comics again.

[tzipwich]

I did not expect for Sophie and Esme to be resurrected.

[schmevil]

What the what? I mean... what?

I've been away from the x-books long enough that a team of Poor Dead X-People is lolarious, rather than stupidly infuriating. Maybe it's time to go back?

Yeah, no.

[aaron_bourque]

Well, no Wolverine. That's different, right?
