Future Bishop died. She could always meet and marry present day Bishop

good point. Didnt even think of that

That would be cool, but Colossus' mob connections haven't even been mentioned (to my knowledge) since Millar's run. I don't hold out much hope for them coming back. Probably the last time we saw Piotr even close to that was the scene where Kitty was getting a tour of the mansion one morning and Colossus came in carrying a bullet-riddled Wolverine.

Wasn't there a scene somewhere along the way where they 'severed' his mob connections? I think Wolvie had something to do with that.

Personally, I think that was a nice origin, so far as Piotr doing what he could to survive as a young, misguided mutant, but I don't think he should move backwards and go back to them. He's got a boyfriend and has come to terms with his powers and I think he should move forward in this regard. I'm interested to see this new storyline.

I believe you're referring to an incident where a mobster from Russia had moved to the U.S. and was trying to threaten Colossus' family (or something like that). Scott and Logan dropped by the guy's place and told him to leave Piotr alone. Politely, of course.

That took place in the early issues under Millar, though I'd have to search for the exact issue number. That scene was just about that particular mobster and didn't cut Piotr off from Russia's mob. He did that himself by getting out and staying out, even though early on he was shown as a darker character--patrolling the streets at night with Wolverine, for one thing.

I wouldn't necessarily want him to go back to the mob, but I would like to see him get a bit of that edge that he had back in the early days. It helped separate him from the 616 version. These days, the only real difference between the two is their sexual preferences.

 

[Telekinetic]

Nah, Banshee hasnt appeared yet.

Angel, Bishop and Sinister were all killed off in the same issue. Sinister though transformed into Apocalypse after he died

Psylocke is currently apart of Bishop's team or whats left of it. It was revealed that they marry sometime in the future, but they may not happen now

cool,thanks t:

would of thought there was gonna be a psylocke/angel interaction
before his death tho, unless he is coming back as archangel ?

Ultimate X-Men #93 will arrive in stores on April 30 from Marvel Comics. The issue is written by Robert Kirkman, with art and cover by Salvador Larroca.

Here's how Marvel describes the issue:

"It¹s Kirkman¹s final issue of Ultimate X-Men -- and he¹s going out with a bang! Has the worst happened? Has Apocalypse triumphed? If so, there is only one force in the universe with the power to end his iron fisted reign. But it is a power of such magnitude that its slightest misuse could bring about the end of all things!"

Ultimate X-Men #93 will be 32 pages and will cost $2.99

 

[Hyperion1320]

The art here is awesome! An interesting version of the Phoenix. Can't wait to see how Jean reconciles this powerset...

 

[javon]

Yeah the art is good, this issue looks worthy of buying.

 

[Charlie No-One]

Great issue. Looks like things may be going back to the way they once were.

It was Cyclops and Piotr, I'm pretty sure. Wolverine had nothing to do with the severing (was he humping Jean at the time?). The scene involves a Cyclops blast that bounces off Colossus's armored skin - after, Colossus questions how Cyclops knew the blast would bounce off, and Cyclops admits that he didn't.

I'm pretty sure it's in the first arc. I could grab the TPB, but I'm not. But I might if you want me to. Or maybe it's in the third.

 

[Colossal Spoons]

Wow, Jean is pwnin him!

I'd forgotten about that. The Cyke/Wolverine scene took place early on in UXM; the Cyke/Piotr team-up occurred during the first Sinister arc, which would make it one of Vaughn's arcs (UXM #48). The X-Men go to the city to try and track the person who is killing mutants as Sinister heads for the mansion. Cyke and Colossus get paired up and they check out the Russian mob for information, which naturally leads to violence. Scott ends the fight by bouncing an optic blast off Piotr's forehead and just walks away when asked if he knew it would ricochet.

Wow, Jean is pwnin him!

Definitely. Part of me hopes Apocalypse can put up at least some semblance of resistance. If not, Marvel will have spoiled virtually the entire fight and all this build-up will be a bit of a letdown.

 

[tank girl]

can someone tell me the issue..

 

[javon]

Wow, Jean is pwnin him!

Yeah, i'm actually looking forward to more Phoenix.

 

[DarthCyclopsRLZ]

Huh... New X-Men 150 and 154, if I recall correctly...?

What the hell is that request doing in the Ultimate thread, lol?

Ah, yes. Right, right. Thank you.

Nope, that's Ems and Cyke after Planet X.

in one of the most truly disgusting scenes to ever grace an X-men comic

Disgusting in the 'no respect for the dead broad' sense, sure. Really, was it that hard - no freakin pun intended - to just have that talk at least thirty feet away from the grave or something?

EDIT: Come to think of it, considering Ems' insecurity issues regarding Jean, it was a pretty ballsy move.

As a Jean fan and Jean/Scott fan it was hard enough to endure the crap that Morrison threw their way over the course of his run and them him killing her off, but having Scott make out with Emma, who was dressed like an absolute ho, on top of her grave, like 5 minutes after she died, was like one big final slap in the face. He really didnt have to go there and it forever soured this new pairing for me and had me drop Cyclops as one of my favorite characters

thats the one thing of the many things that pissed me off when it came to emma; anytime she saw scott thinking about jean she would get really pissed, as if jean were the one that tried to take him from her.

Whoa, Jean is badass. That's my girl.

In situations like this, you just have to take any such actions as PIS. Normally, Scott would have just told Emma, "Not here, not now," or something so that she'd be quiet and give him some privacy. But Morrison apparently started his run absolutely determined to break up the Scott/Jean marriage and replace it with a new relationship of his own making, and to do that he had to make the characters act out of character throughout the run. That's why I don't really hold that scene (or the whole "psychic affair," really) against Cyke.
