Unless he's simply going for the steeljacketed glove look (After Karma and Hellion, do the X-books need another severed limb?)
I know it may sound morbid, but I'd have had him lose an eye. Even has a kid I never saw Scott as a "Cyclops" since I knew he had two eyes behind what was no more defining to me than, say, a welders mask.
Having him lose an eye would open up an boatload of costume-design improvements, imo. The visor is classic and all but it's also hokey as hell--and you're telling me in this day and age (or rather, the X-Day and Age), no one's come along and found a way to slim it down?
So...every team has a shootist, 3 have characters that have no mutant powers (or did Jubes get hers back again?), Colossus is the Juggernaut, and Magma can fly now. *headdesk*
Marvel should have tried to hide the team reveals to build suspense. While I don't care who's on what team, the element of surprise would have been nice.
The reasoning behind which leader each person picks should be interesting to see. Assuming they actually explore that and don't just say "well because".
On a side note - Who thought bringing back Nate Grey was a good idea?
Whilst it's nice to see the New Mutants pretty much unchanged (Which is sort of inevitable, since they were created as a specific team) I'd rather see Sam there than Nate.
Anyways, what IS the source of the 'schism', exactly? I think it revolves around the idea of whether or not it's okay to use children as soldiers in times where you don't really have anyone else under hand to save the day.

Who's the ugly dude on the far left? And the red haired guy behind him? And the dark haired guy behind him? And the blue flying woman?
Oh wait, are they all from Generation Hope? That would explain why I've no clue who they are.

Date: 2011-09-09 12:12 pm (UTC)And this is only HALF of the X-men, these days. Wow.
Anyways, what IS the source of the 'schism', exactly? Killing children or something? What would get Kitty and Colossus on different sides?
And how is Nightcrawler alive again?
