There are some characters like Mimic and Lifeguard and Morph who I don't expect writers to bother with because they're not important, never have been, and have made no impact on the readership, right? But man, there's a LOT of important X-Men characters who have been allowed to just slip between the cracks post-Secret Wars who we literally do not know the whereabouts of in a world where just standing in the wrong spot can kill a mutant.
And yeah, I know, we're supposed to believe Cyclops is dead, but there's obviously some twist coming, so he gets included in the "where the hell are these guys" list.
Fat Mexican will appear in Miles' book.
>>81223048
Let's talk about how bad of a person SCOTT SUMMERS was and how he did that thing that CHANGED EVERYTHING.
>>81223048
Mimic and Morph were great in Exiles. Granted they were alternate versions.
>>81223104
I really should ask some kind drawfag to draw me Scott and Emma in Nazi uniforms with X instead of swastika.
>>81223048
Warlock's still in space, last time I checked.
>>81223048
Many of these guys went missing long before Secret Wars and the others are probably in the X-mansion in Limbo.
>>81223282
Here's the thing. Characters like Wolfsbane, Madrox, etc were given their own 'happily ever after' before Secret Wars, and at that time, that was fine. They could just live out their lives in peaceful obscurity and it didn't matter. I could tell you where they were and what they were up to in broad terms. But now with this whole "Being a mutant on Earth is a lethal situation" status quo, that no longer works. Either we know where they are, or else they're in mortal peril which merits some attention.
Like, go ahead and give them the "background characters at the mansion" treatment, but at least acknowledge their existence, right?
Daily reminder that people thought that the X-Men would become good again once Scott died.
>>81223048
Lifeguard was on the street-team after Schism.
Which Morph?
Mimic showed up two years ago
>>81223156
Came back 7 years ago unless something happened in X-Factor.
>>81223334
Daily reminder those "people" hate Scott and are Stormfags.
>>81223156
I must have missed that plot development. What's the story there? I'll scratch him off the list if so.
>>81223343
>Lifeguard was on the street-team after Schism.
I've been reading the X-books continuously for like 30 years and even so she had so little impact on me that I can't even recall ever having seen her then and there. That's how inconsequential she is.
>Which Morph?
The new one, from Bendis's Uncanny.
>Mimic showed up two years ago
Was it as little as two years ago? Seems longer. The last I remember seeing him was right after Avengers Vs. X-Men.
>>81223344
Reminder that Scottfags on /co/ are leftover EvilReedfags who get off on heroes becoming "the bad guy" and no one on /co/ cares about Storm beyond who is she being shipped with.
>>81223449
Not my fault Jean is still dead, Phoenix Egg.
so when are the X-men going to get a decent writer?
>>81223483
>dead
Oh fuck that bullshit. Jean's teen self is alive and is here to stay.
>>81223502
Never because the X-men have no real purpose now.
Updated with a dozen more I've thought of since.
>>81223625
>Hope
>Nate Grey
>Cyclops
>Havok
>Rachel
Say what you will about there being too many characters in the Summers/Grey clan in the X-Men mythos, but it is singularly bizarre that the only one now present in the books is Cable, and in an Avengers book of all places.
>>81223560
>Oh fuck that bullshit. Jean's teen self is alive and is here to stay.
>alternate versions count
topkek.gif
>>81223751
>alternate versions count
Considering they had Rachel, Emma and the Cuckoos to fill the stop as team psychic but still used Jean Grey because Old Logan needs some young pussy, I would think that she does count.
>>81223560
>>81223751
>>81223821
I don't even think the writers know whether she's supposed to be an alternate version or what at this point. They were certainly written as "the real, specific original X-Men from Earth 616's past, and who must originally return to their own time in order for the timeline to be preserved," but now it's been like two years of in-universe time since they arrived and it's impossible for that to ever happen now since the modern-day X-Men aren't like "Hey, remember that day, a couple of months after we joined the team when we mysteriously grew two years older over-night? That was weird, right?"
I dunno. Maybe since Earth 616 was destroyed and then this new "Prime Earth" was created by Franklin Richards, the past no longer matters and all previous causality is out the window. That would be a fairly neat and tidy way to explain things.
>>81223328
I'm just super happy that madrox and layla won't be affected by this "being mutant is dead" shit, all thanks to PAD
>>81223625
And a few more. If anyone can think of anyone else I'm forgetting, do share.
>>81224080
Layla was definitely and unambiguously a mutant, and Madrox was like, a less-evolved form of mutant, as per PAD's explanation; one who lacked the survival mechanism of "keep it a secret until you're old enough to fend for yourself." Which, come to think of it, is also true of Apocalypse, which is a nice little bit of canon synergy.
>>81224312
I recall an interview that said Gambit would be appearing in Uncanny Avengers. He and Rogue are presumably patching things up.
>>81223449
>implying Scott became bad
>>81224539
Interview after Red Skull pretended to be Gambit?
>>81224312
I want to read a story with the summers/grey family as a team. Scott, Alex, Nathan, Nate< Rachel and Hope going around the world and kicking butt in the name of all mutantkind.
http://marvel.wikia.com/wiki/List_of_Living_Mutants
Supposedly everyone that has been seen so far.
>>81224312
>>81223625
Can I get all their names please..
>>81224567
yes
>>81224643
Okay, going from the last version I posted:
>>81224312
Cyclops, Havok, Polaris, Banshee, Rictor, Mercury, Surge, Goldballs, Wolfsbane, Frenzy.
Rachel Summers, Jubilee, Gambit, Bishop, Dust, Warbird, Hope Summers, Quentin Quire, Shatterstar, Chamber.
Cannonball, Karma, Cipher, Warlock, Pixie, Blink, Nate Grey, Warpath, The Stepford Cuckoos, Dr. Nemesis.
Tabitha Smith, Strong Guy, Jamie Madrox, Emma Frost, Layla Miller, Danger, Cecelia Reyes, Danielle Moonstar, Husk and Domino.
>>81224696
I remember this having been in an interview before the Red Skull imposture as well. Are you sure he's subsequently said "Okay, no, but for reals this time guys, I actually mean it this time that Gambit will be appearing and it won't a ruse next time."
I've always hated how X-Men constantly had these off-shoot team books with a bunch of new kid characters but once their run is over, the characters just vanish so another new group can get a book only to be quickly tossed aside like the rest. Even though they all are pretty much in the same place, you'd be lucky just to get a tiny background cameo of an older X-team member.
>>81224811
And as if to vindicate your point, the next addition of four characters include three student characters who at one time had been central protagonists who I had myself completely forgotten about.
Of course, some of them have the good fortune of getting elevated above this station. Cannonball and Sunspot became Avengers. Magik seems to be here to stay as one of the 'main' X-Men, and Husk has twice been elevated to 'main book' status, by Chuck Austin and later Jason Aaron. Wolfsbane became prominent as a character in X-Factor for many years. Monet has made it from Generation X to being one of the current stars of Uncanny X-Men.
They definitely are the exception rather than the rule, though. And almost all of the ones I cited are either New Mutants from the early 80s, or the sister thereof.
>>81225342
Not to be "that guy" or anything, but just looking at this list of discarded characters, it is interesting that the majority of them are women. It seems like even among the X-Men books where the membership tends towards greater diversity, female characters are somewhat more... disposable by writers than male ones, at least to the extent that there's less of an interest in giving them the spotlight time necessary for them to really blossom as the sort of worthwhile protagonists who, like, say, Storm or Nightcrawler or whoever, will never go away for very long.
>>81225394
Maybe X-Men just has more prominent female than male characters. Maybe unused male characters just die a lot more. Might be a whole lot of stuff causing that. And it could always just be coincidence.
>>81225394
>>81226039
Looking closer at it, it's 18 males and 24 females, so it's not even such a huge gap. It's probably just coincidence.
>>81224769
I'll only be happy if Gambit gives Rogue and big fucking kiss the first time he sees her.
>>81226170
>a big fucking kiss
I tend to think what happens is 'new generations' is that new teams get created to tell a certain story and those characters compliment each other. Once that story ends and their writers leave though, they're kind of adrift. Just the nature of creative changes that a full team almost never transfers over, so there's no real solution to it.
You do get a degree of characters floating to the top though. Magik is A-list now, Laura is arguably being elevated to that level, then you get characters who make it as pretty solid supporting characters. Thinking like Pixie, Idie, etc.
Sometimes a writer can latch on to someone as well, Blindfold would probably have been considered all but forgotten until she became co-lead for a significant run of Legacy.
Everyone had Tempus pegged as a breakout from the last new generation until, well, what happened to her.
>>81226039
>Maybe X-Men just has more prominent female than male characters.
I think they absolutely do.
Hell, the MCU is all kinds of wonky when it comes to women because Marvel simply don't have a ton of them since X-Men is off limits.
>>81224616
This is such an obvious pitch (and one I thought about many times before) that I'm surprised Marvel has never done it before.
And I mean, you can even bring back actual (not evil teen) Jean - Cyclops discovers a way to bring back Jean, tries to go do it himself (due to all the bullshit making it so the X-Men don't trust him), but his brother and kids come along for obvious reasons.
Boom, fun adventure.
>>81225342
>Marvel killing all those colored people
Literally ugh.
>>81226537
Those characters aren't dead, just mostly unaccounted for so far post SW
>>81226596
Unless they're on paper, they all joined Cyclops in sun.
>mfw CBR people have a lot of question about the new x-men (surge, hellion, ect) for the x-men editors
Why do they like those characters ?
>>81226824
Demographics. Most people heavily reading comics today (so for more than, say, 2-3 years) started reading them in the mid-to-late 2000s, which is when these guys were at their peak. These are the characters the posters entered comics with and have the most nostalgia for.
Had we been talking about CBR in the year 2003, we'd probably see a shit-ton of people talking about Generation X.
In 1994, it would be New Mutants. Etc.
>>81223449
>Scott is/went evil
Confirmed Jeanfags (and I suspect Madelynefags) are worse than Stormfags
>>81226880
Except that in 2003, Generation X was still pretty much in play- Joe Casey used most of them in his Uncanny Run and Emma was cucking Jean in New X-Men.
And in 94, most of the New Mutants were either in X-Force, were X-Force antagonists, or were dead.
They have gotten a lot worse about indiscriminately shelving characters since then.
>>81229500
Yep. Enemy within and all.
>>81223625
Frenzy was in the first issue of New Inhumans.
http://www.comicbookresources.com/article/fan-favorite-mutant-returns-in-all-new-inhumans-1
Exodus is missing too
Danger shouldnt have any problem with the t mists since she is a robot. IIRC Dani is depowered, and a valkyrie, so, no problem with the mists.
>>81223048
Gambit is going to appear in Uncanny Avengers and has an upcoming mini with Deadpool.
Cannonball is off raising his son on Chandilar.
Goldballs is going to be in Bendis' Spider-man as one of Miles' classmates.
The rest are, as you said, unaccounted for.
>>81223625
Pixie was shown in one of the spreads for Civil War II. Warbird is likely back with the Shia'ar. Pretty sure Surge is in Limbo at the school.
>>81224312
Frenzy is in All-new Inhumans.
>>81229977
>Exodus is missing too
Exodus was killed in Bendis' Uncanny X-men.
>>81229990
>Cannonball is off raising his son on Chandilar.
source on that?
>>81227018
I wish Tarot and Catseye were alive instead of Doug.
>>81230054
but he was killed by someone who was erased from existence, so his death was undone by Tempus going back to the past and making Matthew Malloy never exist.
>>81230054
His death never happened because Malloy was never born.
>>81230060
Hickman's Avengers/Spencer's Avengers World. It had Smasher and Cannonball moving to Chandilar to raise their baby. The only reason they returned to Earth in TRO was to help with the Final Incursion. Smasher was shown still being a Superguardian with the Shia'ar in Ultimates, so there's no reason to think that they didn't return to Chandilar after TRO.
Likewise, there's no reason for them to stay on Earth when the planet is inhospitable to both Cannonball and his son when they have a nice apartment waiting for them on Chandilar.
>>81230099
>>81230089
Oh yeah.
>let's spend 8 months on an arc which we'll promptly wipe away at the very end with time-travel
>>81230146
Is Shi'ar empire restored in ANAD?
>>81230163
That's our superstar writer.
>>81230166
Yes. Pretty much anything that was destroyed or killed during Time Runs Out is back to how it was. Gladiator and the Superguardians were shown in Ewing's Ultimates.
>>81225342
Why is Chamber, a mutant with no lungs (and thus gas proof) and a connection to Apocalypse (retconned in, sure, but Dracula v. Apocalypse was fun and I don't think anyone has done anything with him and Clan Akkaba since it was first introduced) not a player in this brave new Terrigen Misted, multi-Apocalypsing status quo?
>>81230223

That's what I needed to know.

>>81234400
Rockslide, the best of Yost's New X-men
>>81234460
>>81234470
Thought it was him, but wasn't sure can he shapeshift and shit. Or it's artistic liberty.
Kid Gladiator is similarly missing
>>81235159
So is Eye-Boy but nobody gives flying fuck about him, either.
>>81234527
He can't shapeshift, but he can reform his body shaped differently if he gets smashed.
>>81223048
>>81224312
Oh yeah, Banshee. Last we saw him he was stuck in a tube in the Avengers Basement, waiting for the Death Seed influence to be gone.
Daken and Grim Reaper have since come back completely recovered from the Death Seed, so what the fuck?
Did anyone bother telling his daughter he's still alive?
Weren't he and Deadpool friends at one point? He could join Mercs for Money.
>>81223048
>Do a huge change to Cannonball's status quo by having him get married and have a kid
>Do absolutely nothing with the story
What was Hickman thinking? And why did the X-Office let him do it?
>>81236451
X-office probably can't do shit if the Avengers crew want something.

One late O5 story basically as an out after Professor X is killed.
Then the 90s X-Men cartoon were he died in the first episode. He later came back thanks to Sinister though. His jokey personality was, I think, established here.

and also, Xorn is with Magneto, and I heavily suspect he is Cyclops.
>>81245974
And if it is him, that means secondary mutations are a thing again...or he's been altered some other way.
>>81224312
Man, this reminds me that we have yet to see Lorna's reaction to her two half siblings not being her half siblings anymore.And also her mutant genocidal sister was not her sister after all.
>>81246083
didnt Morrison explain Xorns powers as Magneto using "nanosentinels"? Morrison may be the creator of "nanomachines, son" as bullshit explanation for technological magic.
>>81246084
I loved Magneto being a distant relative of Ultron (the father of her daughters robot husband), Marvel ruined a great thing with that retcon. That extended family was great.
>>81245974
>no more Land

Where were you when Uncanny X-men proved itself to be the best current X-book?
I don't know why Lashley doesn't get more work.
>>81246337
Best current X-book is ANW, UXM automatically disqualified from first because of Land
>>81246580
Land is only on the first arc which just ended.
>>81246608
Don't you worry. He'll be back.
>>81246580
I am not a fan of Land, but he has never been enough to ruin a book for me. In fact he may be in the last 2 good X Men books, Gillens Uncanny and now Bunns Uncanny.
>>81223449
People care about Storm?
>>81247980
I guess some people at editorial do since they keep making her LEADER OF THE X-MEN despite nobody giving a shit about her and her generally being only slightly less detestable than Beast
>>81247980
>>81248066
In the 80s with Claremont Storm was a legit leader of the X-Men, and may have been more popular than Cyclops.
The problem with Storm is no one has written her well this millenium.
From Morrison on the X Men leaders with the couple Scott-Emma, and Storm was away married in Wakanda.
And right now, because of the sjw climate (I am not /pol/ btw) it is very hard to write a female character who is complex and flawed and not an inspirational strong perfect mary sue, and Storm makes that even harder since she is already so powerful.
>>81247980
Oldfags who still obsess over the Claremont days, forgetting how unbelievably shit he's been for like, 20 years?
>>81247980
If it means anything we over at /sp/ voted her as our least favorite capeshit character next to hawkeye
>>81235187
Aaron and Bendis broke the fucking bar for introducing a ton of pointless characters that would be forgotten as soon as they left.
And I thought the Five Lights were bad - at least they had a book of their own and I remember their names.
>>81248284
Wow, /sp/ is full of idiots.
Hawkeye is great.
>>81248300
Bendis made one of the most solid characters that could have become a mainstay in ages
Then he burnt her to the ground so nobody else could play with his toys, I guess.
To be fair, there's not much in the way of strong characterization in Marvel in general. It's not just Storm.
What characters over the last 10 years have really had a strong, definitive voice?
I think Aaron's Quire was a strong, memorable character, and Gillen's version of Yana, with her fucked up sense of duty (lol Colossus) was pretty great and the set-up for Idie was fantastic, but overall there hasn't been all that much character development for anyone, Storm or otherwise.
>>81249012
Evan maybe, you can call WaTX shit all you want but at least Aaron developed Evan feeling about him being a clone of paco lips, which Rememder had already done in uncanny x-force
>>81245974
>that answer about the academy x kids
Woah they would rather have 30 background characters than develop the one people like.
Also
>that favoritism towards Triage instead of Elixir

>>81249118
>>you can call Watt shit all you want
I don't want. And I don't very people that totally hate it. I mean sure, the Hellfire kids were awful and the circus arc was blah, but overall that series was legitimately good.
>>81249012
I honestly think a lot of the core X-Men have really, and a bunch of secondaries who were given focus by writers.
I think Storm is an exception in how bad she's been, she's just such a nothing character. Not even brief attempts to give her some kind of spotlight work.
>>81249490
>legitimately good
It legitimately wasn't. I have trouble remembering a single good thing from the comic that gave us a) the whole dumb mess with Husk, b) Hellfire brats, c) LOL SO RANDUMB ALL DAY ERRYDAY, d) QQ being an insufferable mainlister completely flanderized from Morrison's portrayal , e) focus on completely boring characters and/or OCs over interesting established characters (because Aaron went overboard with his author avatars) and f) Dumb LoSH-style names for his dumb, unimaginative, cardboard kids (Shark Girl? Eye Boy?)
That book was a perfect storm of awfulness. I am having trouble coming up with a worse X-book since Schism.
>>81249614
>I am having trouble coming up with a worse X-book since Schism.
>>81249012
I'd say Remender and PAD gave strong characterizations to their characters. Hell, it almost gave Psylocke and actual post-90's character before it was all flushed away. Idie and Evan are currently being wasted by Hopeless.
Storm and Rogue I think are the worse cases of weak characters since they always serve the plot and the plot never serves them.
>>81249825
Fair, I never read that one so I can't comment. Is it really that bad?

Storm erased Bishop's memories of all his genocides and was cool with him being on her team.
>Scott, creating a kill squad and killing people is wrong
>Logan you created a kill squad, got a whole city of people killed, and consented the murder of a child. Let's fuck.
Storm was shit. And she hates you more when you don't fuck her.
>>81249859
I would unambiguously call it the worst X-book I've read post 2010
Terrible team makeup that never works in the slightest
Bad A-plot that goes nowhere
Very slightly less bad B-plot which is Psylocke/Fantomex/Female-Fantomex/EVIL-Fantomex fuckbuddy drama
It also fucked up the end of Cable and the X-Force with a shitty forced crossover too.
>>81249859
Yes. You know how Fantomex was split into three sepereate people at the end of Remender's run and how Psylocke decided to live with Ego-Fantomex inside EVA?
Well the book starts off with Fantomex gone and Bishop running around killing shit. Puck and Mirage are there for some reason, though I remember Mirage owning a club for like one issues. But none of that really matters since the book is about Psylocke. Female Fanto comes in and her and Psylocke look for Ego-Fanto. Evil-Fanto is there somewhere too. It's lost in a pile of relationship bullshit though as Psylocke and Fem-Fanto begin to date, only for Ego-Fanto to show up and for Psylocke to become confused. Then I think Evil-Fanot gets involved somehow in the relationship. It's baaaad.
>>81249614
The Doop issue was really good. And the Bendis books are easily the worst.

It's the most incoherent and pointless X-Force ever, too.
Storm is in a bad mood after her divorce so she forms an X-Force to go kick the shit out of people? Storm recruits Psylocke to it because Logan kicked her out of the JGS for roughing up students for kicks? Puck I guess was just some contact Storm made who stayed on as a team member? It's nonsense.
>>81250829

That's saying something considering it was invented by Rob Liefeld.

Ah, Necrosha. An excuse to undo a bunch of the bloodsport X-comics had turned into that managed to bring like 3 characters back form the dead.
>>81230264
>Chamber
>Based
He was a whiny faggot for the most part except when hanging out with Skin. Easily my third least favorite GenX member after Gaia and Synch.
Skin was great though.
where is nate grey? did he fuckoff back to aoa after they killed the x-gene?
>>81252014
That universe was completely annihilated even before Secret Wars, sadly. Which presumably is why in Secret Wars the AoA we were given was plainly a near cousin of the original.
>>81240122
There was no 616 Morph, rather there was an old X-Men villain called Changeling who eventually secretly joined the X-Men taking Xavier's place while Xavier was secretly preparing to defend the world against an alien invasion. Changeling died while impersonating Xavier.
Morph from the cartoon was Changeling with a name change because of DC having the rights to the name. There was an Age of Apocalypse character named Morph who was the AoA version of Changeling and Exiles Morph is a completely separate character based on AoA Morph.
>>81250383
OP here. Yeah, those other two were right; that's Omega Sentinel; a human/sentinel hybrid who went good, and joined the X-Men for a while. The pic you posted there is from a brief moment when her programming got hacked and she was forced to join the Marauders. After I posted the last version of the OP pic I realized that I ought to have included her in that list.
I also posted this same thread on Reddit this morning:
https://www.reddit.com/r/comicbooks/comments/4cfinu/with_the_dramatic_decrease_both_in_number_of_xmen/
And it's been pointed out that Frenzy and Jubilee have shown up in Inhumans and Squirrel Girl, respectively, so they can be stricken from the MIA list too.
>>81252215
>Jubilee
>shown up
>Squirrel Girl
Oh god. I can't imagine how disgusting the art in Squirrel Girl would present Jubilee, who is currently a vampire single mother.
>>81252262
>vampire single mother.
Brian Wood is gone from the X-men, so can we ignore that baby shit ever happened? Like Franklin Richards forgot that detail of the universe or something.
>>81245880
Holy shit, those smiley-face robots from The Right. I haven't seen those since the 1980s. That's a deep, deep, DEEP cut right there. Impressive.
>>81252302
Oh how I would love for Franklin to reboot Jubilee back to when they went to school together. And bring along Ev and Ange while he's at it.
>>81252362
I think they might have come back in one of the numerous big, ugly pile ons that killed a bunch of X-Kids since M-Day.
>>81252374
>back to when they went to school together.
When was this?
>>81240122
OP here. I was talking about the new character by that name introduced in Bendis's Uncanny X-Men run. A kid named Benjamin Deeds who nobody cares about and who nobody should.
>>81252302
No, since it was actually good for her character.
>>81252262
It wasn't good but she wasn't as butter-face-art as The GirlSquirrel herself.
>>81252396
Generation X.
From the end of Onlsaught until more or less Heroes Return, Franklin was a student at X-School Massachusetts, so he could hang with his bros Leech and Artie.
Also, so Nathan Richards could go back to mysterious time traveling.
>>81252467
Maybe it is, but a very evil part of my dark little soul wants soooo badly for her to just bloodsuck the kid dead. Just to end the eternal teen-mom thing.
>>81252634
That is a horrid thing to wish on such a pure cinnamon roll.
>>81225342
I have all sorts of temporary headcanon for these kinds of characters.
For instance: The Graduates from the last "new mutants" class are most likely off to college or working their first jobs off in realworld. I imagine a few are doing part-time superheroing in their spare time, like Spiderman used to.
Then there's the moving-on adults like Warbird or half the cast of X-Factor who always said they wanted to integrate into normal lives without mutant crazy every minute. For God's sake, Multiple Man got married, settled down, and moved back home to run the family farm.
Dr. Cecelia Reyes never wanted to be a superhero in the first place, why wouldn't she still be working at the Hospital where we last saw her begin a story?
Five on that list were "Jean Grey's School 4bla-bla" teachers, two were on-call superscientists (and they can just phone it in from their labs where-ever), six more are foriegn nationals who may want to go home.
Then there's my current headcanon fave: anyone not on active X-duty is either sick from the TerrorGene clouds or working relief aid for X-Corp somewhere.
>>81252828
Cinnamon rolls are baked in ovens to be eaten fresh.
>>81253062
>sick from the TerrorGene clouds
Do they have a big hospital ward of people sick with that or is everyone taking the same stuff as Rogue?
>>81252505
That sounds adorable.
>>81253062
Man I wish Pixie and Mercury would pop up somewhere.
>>81253484
Wasn't Pixie supposed to show up in the "evil" mutant faction that's pissed off about the Terragene cloud?
>>81253483
Leech and Artie in Gen X were great- they hung out in a haunted treehouse, got image inducers and ran around as Peter Porker, and were only occasionally miscoloured as one another.
Also, they and Franklin teamed up with Howard the Duck, Tana Nile, and Man-Thing at the end of Franklin's time there.
>>81253460
If they have medicine to help minimize the effects upon Rogue then they wouldn't be restricting that treatment to only the mutants who come back from frequent deaths.
Remember that in the first place the X-Men exist to save the species.
They've also depicted aide camps for those stricken by it, both in Storm's X-Haven (in HELL) and in at least one major city.
It's been said in Uncanny books that mutant healers can't do anything but abate the symptoms temporarily because the crystal gases remain in the bodies doing harm.
>>81253594
That's been proven to be a lie.
The whole 616 Morph coming back to life was a big give away.
>>81223048
What are Hellion and Surge up to?
>>81253663
>Hellion
Was in Inhuman care at some point during the 8 month skip.(I think it was the 8 month skip, maybe just currently?)
>>81253663
Hellion got captured by the Inhumans when his powers went berserk from the X-plague.
>>81253594
Do you mean "perfectly justified in their anger" mutant faction?
>>81253713
No, they are "pure evil like that bastard Scott Summers, whom we can never forgive."
>>81253594
She always shows up eventually, iconic looks make books.
I'm really curious about Mercury, she had a great powerset I really liked (Terminator2 fan) and there's no reason for her to vanish like all the other homosexual characters. Sure, nobody ever really liked Northstar, he was a flying Canadian Quicksilver knock-off and his best stories are behind him but damnitall!
CAN'T JUST ONE GAY X-MAN STAY?
>>81253787
Just Anole and poor mind-raped Bobby.
>>81249968
Those are the Ultimate X-Men, the purple one is Ultimate Psylocke.
>>81253730
Where's the love Stormy?
Mid-Life-Crisisclops doesn't hate you.
Mostly because he's dead. But still...
>>81253787
I don't remember her being gay, but whatever. She was really cool-looking and nice to Wither at a time that showed she was a good person. Last I remember seeing her was like, Deadpool stopping her dad from taking her home maybe?
>>81253833
Anole sucks. (no pun intended)
Wasn't he suposed to grow hairy palms? What mutie logic gives him a giant lizard arm to jerk off with?
No-no-no, the flying FrenchieCannuck with the fairy ears, that's the gay mutant I know and ... love in a plutonic way.
>>81249825
Please tell me that's not spiral as an Xman.
>>81253864
I'm pretty sure she was in a stalker-ish Lezationship with (one of ) the diamond skinned girl(s) that eventually de-drama-ized.
I wanna say the gal's name was "Bling" (?)
>>81252362
That's some gnarly shit. The Right was back by Cameron Hodge, Warren Worthington (Angel)'s company's CEO. Led in large part to his suicide attempt, that put him in the hands of Apocalypse, who turned him into his horseman Death.
Am I dumb for being hopeful that there is some foretelling happening here?
>>81254051
That's not Spiral as an X-Man.
That's Spiral as an Uncanny X-Force-er.
>>81249379
Preptime: the team.
Excellent taste, my /sp/ friend.
>>81253681
>>81253694
I heard something like he was dating Sharkkgirl. I hope this is not true.
>>81254078
It was Bling!, actually. With the exclamation point. Her parents were rap royalty or something.
>>81254127
The fact that we're seeing them in a book that also has Archangel suggests we might see some connection there. No writer would include characters that obscure without having some knowledge of and fondness for the stories they come from.
>>81254078
>>81254340
Terrible.
>>81254340
Any idea as to why there are almost as many diamond-skinned girls as there are telepaths?
>>81254532
Axel Alonso has been editing the X-Men for a long time and his dick is so small that he wishes for a woman who's so physically rigid that her lips won't part when he fucks her and he can get some sensation.
>>81253787
I'm worried about the FruityIcepop, you know: Bobby the cool man's boy-toy.
Every other X-Men that's come out has gone out of team rotation after (I assume) eventual fan rejection, so now that TeenJean has mind-raped him into cock-love will the fan's unyielding hatred of all things gay wish him into the cornfield too?
>>81254862
>FruityIcepop
I'd love to know how one would pronounce a word like that out loud.
>>81255143
fruity ice pop?
>>81254862
once Bendis falls from his throne someone will probably retcon that young Jean wwas just a massive bitch and made him think he was gay.
>>81255143
You roll the "F" as if you were rolling an "R", say the end of the first would an octive higher, start the second word immediately after the first, and for the second word just "POP!" your mouth with the second "P".
Hey, you asked.
>>81255287
This is never, ever going to happen regardless of how much you bottle up your butthurt.
>>81255368
All that butthurt must be painful, if only there were someone who could ice his butthurt, ice it good...
>>81255368
anon. i ain't even mad. but you and i both know that someone down the line is gonna write another story with an evil jean. it's going to happen. chances are though they'll now say he's bi instead of full on gay. and the author will somehow think they are being unique and original for writing a story where jean fucks up.
>>81255368
If Bobby gets to stay does that mean that all those other gay X-Men can come back from oblivion too?
>>81255559
Oh BOY-OH-BOY, If they ever out Repressedclops too you'll just lose it, won'tcha?
>>81252362
They were in Kyle/Yost's X-Force and maybe also in Second Coming, I can't quite remember.
>>81254306
Another great visual mutation, nobody would ask what kinds of powers she had or how's she useful in a fight.
Why don't we ever see her anymore?
Is it because she's not as sexy as she was when human-shaped?
Tac on a WereShark shapeshifting ability and slap her back on a team!
I'm sick of all this never-see-'em-again nonsense!
>>81249012
>I think Aaron's Quire was a strong, memorable character
This is why nobody likes you.
>>81256190
Yes they were, The (original) New Mutants team took them on. They also ambushed Cable and Hope in the crossover's beginning.
>>81249537
>Not even brief attempts to give her some kind of spotlight work.
Pak sort of tried with his ongoing, but it just ended up being a highlight reel of much better stories from 20+ years ago that you should be reading instead.
>>81256301
I tried reading the first issue of that. It was about a little bitchy girl who told Storm to check her privilege. And it worked.
Never bought another.
>>81249847
>Storm and Rogue I think are the worse cases of weak characters since they always serve the plot and the plot never serves them.
Rogue, Storm, Beast.
Any other main X-Men who have become completely bland or outright detestable over the years?
>>81256325
Aaron's Wolverine. Aaron and Whedon and Bendis's Kitty Pryde.
>>81253663
>Surge
She is the definition of wallpaper.
She hasn't had more than a single line per run since... Avengers Academy crossover, I think. And before that, she was already not being used for a while.
>>81253787
I forgot that Mercury is gay now, too for some reason.
>Anole - Gay
>Prodigy - turned bi
>Mercury - turned gay
>>81256494
Pretty sure Mercury is bi, not gay.
>>81253787
> Northstar
> Best stories are behind him
KEK
E
K
>>81255627
But Magik and Shadowcat are already all over the place.
Sure, Wolfsbane and Moonstar are kind sidelined, and Rictorstar is gone too... but like a third of the X-Force Mutant homos are around.
>>81251972
Chamber being a whiny faggot was great though. Up until Tieri's weird boner for him, Jono was absolutely right about everything, just too weak-willed to actually do anything about it. And since New Warriors he's gone nowhere but up, becoming a Sean Cassidy 1.5 in the process.
>>81224312
Northstar
Omega Sentinel
Tempus
Rockslide
The Five Lights except the useless one
>>81224312
>>81259491
Random
Penance
Some of those other idiots from the team with Triage, Goldballs and Tempus
Dr Kavita Rao
Jamie Maddox
Guardian and Vindicator
Madison Jeffries
>>81259491
OP here.
>Northstar
Hasn't he been appearing in Captain Marvel?
>Omega Sentinel
Yeah, I realized that later. Should have included her.
>Tempus
I added her in the third version of the image: >>81224312
>Rockslide
I could swear I'd seen him as a background character in one of the X-Haven scenes. Otherwise I'd have included him; he's literally my favourite X-Man.
>>81259567
>>81259567
Maybe I should have scrolled down...
>>81225342
>>81259571
Why is Rockslide your fave? Genuinely curious. What are his great moments?
>>81259571
I think only Sasquatch, Puck and Aurora are in Captain Marvel.
>>81259630
Not OP, but Rockslide is a fun character who has fun in his role and is one of the better Newer generation X-men. Just... fun.
>>81259630
Not the person you're replying to, but the guy's been a total bro ever since Yost picked him up. Me, I hate what he's done to most characters, but Rockslide is one of the few things even I can admit worked out for the best.
>>81259660
They are the only original Alpha Flight members to be included in its ANAD incarnation.
>>81259630
Like, literally any scene he appears in during Kyle and Yost's treatment of him. He's just so funny and charming. Like, name one other X-Man who actually wants to be funny and succeeds. They may have their little quips and one-liners, but nobody else but him will respond with "Aww, Hulk sad!" when he's excluded from a social event. I love a character who doesn't take himself too seriously, who has genuine flaws like being a little dimwitted without it being his defining trait, and who's a good friend and a heroic, self-sacrificing figure when the moment calls for it. There's a lot of things about him which make him unique among X-Men characters which just makes him such a refreshing presence.
>>81259660
>>81259709
Oops! My mistake. If I do a fourth version of this image, I'll replace Frenzy and Jubilee with Northstar and Omega Sentinel, at the very least.
>>81259593
Yeah, got Jamie Madrox and Madison Jeffries. Guardian and Vindicator are long-time friends and associates of the X-Men, but have never been members, and I'd say the same is true of Dr. Rao. Penance has been missing for SUCH a long time I left her out along with characters like Greymalkin and Gaia and Gateway (basically anyone whose name starts with G) who are basically not a part of the overall story anymore.
Random is a borderline case. I don't think he's ever been an X-Man either; he was an associate of X-Factor, and he was a part of that "Utopians" group, but not really a part of any official X-Men team the way that, say, the New Mutants and X-Factor are.
>>81256353
Where is Kitty Pride? I don't really remember seeing her in Extraordinary X-Men. Is she in Uncanny? I'd read that but, you know, Land is on art.
And is Karma around? Is Legion still dead (I hope so)? What about Blindfold?
>>81259660
Yeah, only those three have appeared. And they've had a total of like 10 lines between all of them since the book has started. I'm a lot more interested in Alpha Flight and the green-haired chick than Marvel or here other supports.
>>81260985
Kitty is Starlord in Guardians of the Galaxy
Legion is still dead/non-existent, I don't think Blindfold has been used since that story either.
>>81223119
Like Metal Slug?
What happened to the kids from Spider Man's X-men?
never touched an X-book but Spidey make those characters likeable
>>81253787
>gay
i distinctly recall her wanting the emo dick back new x-men
>>81263557
Most of them are in Extraordinary X-men.
>>81223282
>probably in the X-mansion in Limbo.
i love how there is a literal x-mansion in limbo now making this a likely explanation
