Or X-23.

 

[squeekness]

X-23 is female, dark haired, and has only two claws from the hand, one from the foot.

 

[Colossal Spoons]

Ultimate X-23 could be a frog for all we know

 

[squeekness]

Lord I hope not. But I hate it if they change them too much. What's the point if they are unrecognizable and don't have teh traits that made us love them in the first place?

X-23 is female, dark haired, and has only two claws from the hand, one from the foot.

and Cable is an old white man who's actually the son of Cyclops....oh wait, Ultimate universe...different characters, different rules

 

[chris moore]

And Mojo is an albino human with no powers

I wanna be excited about this so badly, but Loeb's name being attached is making that impossible

 

[terry78]

Even when Wolverine dies, you can't get rid of his ass.

 

[Generation Lee]

Im going 4 X-23 lets face it in 616 The Wasp isn't a Mutant or Asian, Jessica Jones isn't Spiderman's clone and Colussus is not in a relationship with Northstar and let's not forget Nick Fury isn't Samuel L. Jackson.

 

[Venom160]

Nope its def Ult Mimic. Look at the shadowed images behind him and you can make out the wings thats coming out of his back.

I thought with your love for his pet Poochie, you'd be all over this.

 

[Jennifer Walters]

I hate to tell you but that shadow image is SEPERATE from blondie boy with claws.

 

[El Bastardo]

My first inkling is Ultimate Mimic, too, but I don't think that's an identity that will leave our jaws on the floor.

So I have no idea. But I probably won't be buying it.

 

[Colossal Spoons]

I draw the line at that red bastard lol

 

[El Bastardo]

I'm not red!

 

[Colossal Spoons]

You wanna be!?

 

[El Bastardo]

I will end you, Spoonsie. You'll be black AND blue. Well, blacker and blue! Ho ho! Take that!

 

[squeekness]

My first inkling is Ultimate Mimic, too, but I don't think that's an identity that will leave our jaws on the floor.

So I have no idea. But I probably won't be buying it.

I think it's Mimic, too. Maybe they are just doing some twist with him that's supposed to make him shocking or some such crap. No way is that Logan. Though I suppose it could be Wild Child... maybe. Doubt it though..

 

[YoungE808]

Lol Emphasis on Wolverine and Cap in the preview while the man on the cover looks like Cap and Wolvie combined. Hmmmmm....

 

[Venom160]

I'm still sticking with mimic. Theres gotte be a reason for the stuff behind him to be shadowed and some of those shadows look like wings be they connected to him or some other character.

 

[chris moore]

Now that there's an updated image with a girl (Psylocke?) on the left of the image, it becomes a little more obvious of the ensemble mix of silhouettes.

Therefore, judging by the boot tip under the large red "X", and the now seemingly obvious spiky/dishevelled hair at the point where the "wings" and "phoenix trail" meet, the right hand character is male. Going by the height and build of the figure, and the trenchcoat I'd say Gambit brought back from the dead somehow. Or a trenchcoat wearing, resurrected and transformed Archangel (cos if its Gambit, I don't know how who the "wings" belong to)

 

[squeekness]

I would seriously love for it to be Gambit, but alas, I'm going to stick with my Mimic guess. Remy has never had blonde hair or claws. So as much as I'd love to see my top fave brought back to life, I seriously doubt this will be him...

 

[chris moore]

I'm not saying the guy in the middle is Remy. The guy on the right. I'm still for Mimic for the middle guy meself

 

[Venom160]

Hmm seems like we get yet another shot of this woman. Does anyone have any guess on who she is? I wanna say Psylocke but than again she looks nothing like what Psylocke looked like in her lasr appearance. My other choice is that it might be Jean with a new look. Look at this character's eyes, the only character I've seen with that kind of bright green eyes has been Jean Grey. Also don't forget the preveiw art that shows this character being haunted by visions of all the dead X-Men. I don't see just some random nobody being haunted like that.
