ITS CRAZY!!!!!!!

Spoiler

IS HE A HORSEMAN NOW?!?!

 

[ghost113]

no, he is the supreme being

 

[The Englishman]

Who's Black Knight........Is he English???

 

[ghost113]

I'm not sure i haven't seen him yet.

 

[SMroxs]

The Blacknight has a long history, some of it interesting, some of it not. He used to be a man named Dane Whitman... not sure if he still is the Black Night or not. He has history with Captain Britain, was with the Avengers for a while in the 90's, left our dimension with Sersi for a pocket dimension, ended up in sucky Malibu comics for a time, and then after that I didn't really follow what happened to him. Guess this will explain where he has been!

Yes but what i want to know is, is he English/British???

 

[ghost113]

I think he is american, the same black knight from heroes for hire right.

 

[SMroxs]

Correct. Dane Whitman is from the United States. The original Black Night, Sir Percy, was English though and a member of the King Arthur's knights of the round table. And I believe Dane's family is English in origin. He inherited a family castle in England called Garret Castle. It was there that he found Sir Percy's tomb and was deemed noble enough to inherit Sir Percy's Ebony Blade.

Why can't a British based team have more British heros in it??

 

[ghost113]

why don't you join?

 

[Spectre722]

well rite now the only actually british members are captain britain and pete wisdom. but in fairness nocturne is an alternate reality daughter of nightcrawler, a long-time serving member of the original excalibur. and juggernaut has spent alot of time in the isles since he was black tom cassidy's partner in crime.

but theres also a very good chance of the black knight and or chamber joining.

 

[bengan]

Just read #1 and I really like the dark x-men. Are they froma another dimension or something? will it get better?

 

[Colossal Spoons]

Yup, I think #8 is the best issue yet.

The split of British/European/American characters on the team are actually quite evenly split...

We've got Cap Britain & Pete Wisdom as the Brits.

Nocturne (German/Latverian) & Sage (Balkan) as the Europeans.

and only to yankees Juggernaut & Dazzler.

so the split isn't that bad.

 

[ghost113]

yes who really believes Chamber is joining the team after seeing that preview.

 

[SMroxs]

Yup, I think #8 is the best issue yet.

I would agree the book is getting better, but I still don't like this run 1/2 as much as I liked the original run of Excalibur. I think it's mostly that I don't like characterization for Dazzler and Sage. It's a little off IMO. I initially didn't like the Dark X-Men story, but I have forgiven it just a bit since they've tied it into the overall point of the book which is to explore the cause and effects of M-Day. Although I still think it was just a way for them to bring another Jean Grey into the mix...

 

[The Englishman]

why don't you join?

I think i might just do that....

Yeah i suppose your right, but i'd just like to see more British Heros....

How do you see Jean getting in the mix of NE?

 

[Generation Lee]

I'm just wondering if CC will lose both Exiles and this book to those filling in for him. Just that I read what Tieri said about his run and that got me interested. So what if sales incress etc under him and fall again when CC comes back????

 

[ghost113]

I think i might just do that....

What are your powers and costumes?
