Azazel

Well just came back from watching X-men:first class (yeah I'm late to the party, needed someone to see it with!) and I have to say I loved the story, acting, and CG. I know alot of people were angry because of the big changes they made lore-wise but I thought there was alot of stuff that would be decent enough to add to canon.



As you may know from my previous posts I am a massive fan of the teleportation superpower. Azazel in first class was probably the best usage of combat teleportation I've seen in a film.

So with that let's take a look at the Fuzzy Elf's father, the demonic Azazel!



From Uncanny X #433




The revelation!




A nice collection of all of Azazel's offspring (minus Angel, Mystique, that archeleogist and Logan of course!)




From a later ish, we see the loving relationship between father and son. (Lothario means "woman seducer")

Till next time X-fans!

Regarding the 'changes to the lore' that First Class as a movie makes, personally I don't see the problem with them. If we mean the books and their lore, then 95% of the X-Canon is garbage, really, with choice nuggets here and there. If we mean the films and their lore, the filmmakers already stated their intent to go out of their way and ignore X3 and Wolverine, which, frankly, is the best decision they could've made.

Whoa now! I wouldn't say that 95% of x-canon is garbage! There's been some real stinker story arcs here and there for sure but I wouldn't say the x-lore is notable more terrible then anything else the mainstream comic industry publishes
