The only pepole fraction are using are Beast,Cyclops,Emma Frost,Namor,Professor X and about ten others everybody else gets cameos.

The X-Club is getting a bit of panel time, too. Well, mostly Jeffries and Nemesis. Takiguchi just died, and I don't even know if Kavita "Sure I'll help you bring back the X-Gene after I just tried to cure it" Rao is living on Utopia.

She's there. She seems to be acting as the island therapist too since she's the one who debriefed the New Mutants after the Legion mission.

The X-Men fandom's biggest problem is that they have too many characters and most of them aren't important enough to make an impact, thus every five minutes they need to off one or two, which is just completely pointless.

I don't see other Superhero teams have that many one-panel/issue/day members.

 

[Havok83]

and then they have Cecilia Reyes, who they refuse to use. I swear she's the only living X-man on Earth besides Marrow who isnt on Utopia

 

[Manic]

The Justice League has about 12,000 revolving members, but they manage that by only keeping half a dozen members in the book at a time. The X-Men could try that, except we're the loudest, most unsatisfiable fans in comicdom. If I can't read about at least one X-man from each generation (Original 5, All New All Different & 80's recruits, New Mutants/X-Force, Generation X, 90's recruits, Academy X), I'll throw a major hissy-fit.

 

[roach]

yeah but Justice League doesnt have 3 books that showcase the same characters

 

[OutcryX]

ouch. i felt that one..

roach is right..hissy fits aside. 3 X-Men books can feature 3 different X-Men teams..but nooo.all the writers(editors?) want to write about the same 5 characters over and over...and it seems the only new X-Men, besides Pixie, to get significant panel time IS Namor, who isnt new at all..just new to the X. what is his reason for staying around again?

 

[Manic]

The Atlantean people are scattered and he has no kingdom to rule, so Emma reminded him he's a mutant and that he can find a new purpose by standing with the X-Men.

Also, he wants to hit that again.

 

[OutcryX]

i would think that Emma has fire-crotch...she just doesn't come across as disease-free to me

 

[UraniaChang]

A woman with that many experience in bed, I'd assume that she knows how to take care of herself.

It's usually the stupid ones like teenagers and risky types like street walkers have the problem.

heel you could have a book that showcases a team of X-men who dont agree with Scott's methods...but we are seeing the same 3-4 xmen in every book. Fraction said he didnt like the blue/gold teams.

 

[OutcryX]

with Dark X-Men...that makes 4 xmen books

 

[Manic]

Eh, I don't know. I think Emma is more of a tease than anything, and she only gives it up when she either really wants to, or it'll further her career. You'll notice we've only heard about her sleeping with powerful men like Namor, Cyclops, Sebastian Shaw (they did it, right?), and Iron Man.

Emma isn't a traditional ****e. She's a social climber. Well, social mounter.

 

[Havok83]

Thats a mini, not an ongoing and they arent really X-men

 

[Grifter21]

all but The New Absorbing Man have posed as X-Men

Another page that's a bit spoilery:

Spoiler

 

[UraniaChang]

Ugh. Stupid birdy. Stay AWAY!

 

[ChaoticPsylocke]

what explanation does it have this time for showing up?

 

[Havok83]

what explanation does it have this time for showing up?

Jean is finally taking back whats hers

Why the heck did Land give the Cuckoos, the New Mutants costume? Its already hard enough telling them apart from Magma and Magik, not to mention Dazzler, who's closet they also raid

 

[Manic]

I'm guessing either a fraction of the Phoenix Force just happened to be nearby and it just made its exit back to the White Hot Room (like when Rachel and Korvus lost their power boosts during Kingbreaker), or Jean will make another brief and blurry appearance and help for about 10 seconds before leaving abruptly (like when she saved Emma during Sisterhood).

 

[Havok83]

No it looks like Jean is taking back the 3 Phoenix fragments that the Cuckoos ahve...we talked about it on the last page. It happened in Warsong and it looked as if Marvel forgot about that mini until now. She took back her fragments from Rachel and Korvus, earlier this year and she's finally making her way to the Cuckoos. I think this is all going to lead into Second Coming with Jean making a full apperance sometime during that story. Somehow Hope is going to tie into that, at least thats what I believe

 

[roach]

"we've got freakin Magneto"......wow im glad I dont read this book anymore

 

[roach]

Ugh. Stupid birdy. Stay AWAY!

why?????
Unless you wont like Scott facing all his bad decisions
