ARC LIGHT: The Official Character Discussion Thread

[ts16]

Kirby? did you see the trailer at comicon? If so, how was the audiences reaction to it, and did you think it was better than the teaser? thanks.

 

[N_z0]

No offense to Kirby but i hope you're a fake.

I'm hoping against hope that Ken Leung is not...Quills...seriously?!? ugh

 

[MoPlaYa]

Ugh, I just can't be bothered to believe this guy. He mentions one thing one post, but doesn't bring it up in another post when he says he's giving a full rundown. We've had too many people come on here and other places claiming to know stuff that I just will not take this guy seriously until the trailer comes on tomorrow.

are we sure he is a guy??

 

[Aiden]

By others, you mean other trailers, right?

 

[Kirby&Ditko]

Did not make it to Comicon.
I liked it better than the teaser, if for no other reason than it's full length. As I said elsewhere, I think this will shut up the loud mouths out there like Harry; and that X3 will compliment the other two nicely.

Then how did you see it?

N_z0 - Sorry, Quills is asian, so I assume he's Ken. Gotta run, Academy Awards are coming on....

 

[TNC9852002]

Ken Leung as Quills?!...

Holy crap, it all makes sense! (ummm..not really)

-TNC

 

[Aiden]

That'll make some good CGI I'd imagine

 

[MoPlaYa]

sounds interesting.....guess we`ll have to wait until tomorrow night to find out for sure....

 

[DarkDog]

Who is this "Quills" character ??????????? is it made up for the film?????????

 

[Specter313]

N_z0 - Sorry, Quills is asian, so I assume he's Ken. Gotta run, Academy Awards are coming on....

No, every Quill character in the comics has NOT been asian.

 

[TNC9852002]

Yeah, Specter..

I think the only "Quill" that I know of from the comics is or has been of American/typical Caucasian ehtnicity..

-TNC

 

[Storm22]

I'm sorry but I really don't believe this - showing Mystique in human form and naked?!! Doubtful. I may be proved wrong though. If Ken Leung is Quill shouldn't there be some spikes on him or something??

 

[Aiden]

I imagine the quills would be CGI

 

[TNC9852002]

Well, not all of the incarnations of Quill in the comics has had him fully spiked at all times...They were kinda retracted and they would pop out by will...I dunno...

I really think that Ken really might be Quill, ya know, with the name confirmed in the set report and all, but it's hard to determine if it still means anything just because Kirby&.. says it..

I guess we'll have about 25 hours until judgement..

So if this is true, then the person in the trailer was not necessarily Ken Leung then? Just a cameo of some Asian guy with powers like that of Quill's? Hope so.

 

[lordofthenerds]

Not that I believe her, but Gina said on the Xverse forums in the spoilers thread that got deleted that Leung will have a lot CGI added to his face. Maybe they are quills.

 

[The Original Bamfer]

but when they referred to "quills" in the set report, that was a nickname, i took it, more so than an actual character's name - it was a hint. A Quill is a spike or a feather... so it may have been Angel.

 

[Storm22]

I dunno I dunno, I'm going to sleep now. I expect that when I get online tomorrow this alleged trailer description will be the main topic of conversation and madness will ensue as we wait for the real thing. Til then!

The only one like that is clearly defined as not being asian. The student at Xaviers always has the quills covering him. The same with the other two, one of which is British and the other is a female.

 

[X-Maniac]

Quills are what a porcupine has, the spines on its body that it uses for defence - it cannot shoot its quills (that's just folklore).

 

[X-Maniac]

This Quill character sounds related in some way to Spyke in X-Men Evo, maybe one character inspired the other.

 

[The Original Bamfer]

But its also the narrow, long, thin, hard piece of a feather.
