Comics Official UNCANNY X-MEN Discussion Thread

[Manic]

And then the X-Men will have an all-new status quo! I wouldn't be surprised if they relocated yet again.

 

[Spidermanfan]

who are the villains. (are toad, juggernaut, and quick silver still around?)

who is leading the brotherhood of evil mutants?

 

[Havok83]

Oh boy it has been a long time since you've read huh? There is no Brotherhood. I believe the last incarnation was during Austen's X-men years ago.

The main villian right now is Selene and her Inner Circle which consists of Blink, Senyaka, Eli Bard, Mortis and Wither. She recently resurrected a bunch of dead mutants who have been doing her bidding. All of this is currently being played out in New Mutants (although their part ended), Legacy and X-force

Bishop has been the main villian of Cable's book

Uncanny is currently featuring new villians, Bouncing Betty, Lobe, Verre, Thug and Burst. Im not sure what their deal is

 

[Colossal Spoons]

Wolverine vs Thug should be interesting, considering Thug dresses like off-duty Logan and looks like Mr.X

Toad is living on Utopia. He's not a member of the X-Men like Magneto is. He just lives there.

Juggernaut made up with Charles a while ago and joined the X-Men. Then he moved to England for a while and joined Excalibur. Then something unexplained happened to him, and now he's evil again for no reason. Presumably, the crystal that gives him his powers is screwing with his mind.

Quicksilver has been a good guy for decades, now (with the exception of a couple of years back when he screwed up badly while trying to do the right thing, and was considered a villain again... sorta). He's in the Avengers now, I think.

 

[Colossal Spoons]

Juggernaut is floating around in space after Skaar knocked him out of orbit. He'll be in ASM soon doing something or other w/ Spidey.

 

[Manic]

Hopefully Cain comes back with his head on straight. I saw the X-Men Legacy trade that had the issue where Juggernaut becomes a villain again at Borders the other day. I said "yuck" and put it back on the shelf, then remembered why I dropped that title.

 

[roach]

because there seems to be no clear cut direction just a bunch of things Marvel thinks might be cool....

 

[Spidermanfan]

Yep. the last issue i read was a reprint of the 100th issue.

He'll probably be in a rehashed story in ASM like every other story they do nowadays.

Some others things you might want to know, just so you don't suffer some sort of shock the next time you buy an issue of Uncanny X-Men:

Jean Grey is dead.

Cyclops is dating Emma Frost (the White Queen from the Hellfire Club).

Professor X can walk. Also, he's no longer in charge.

There are only about 200 mutants left on Earth. Everyone else lost their powers. Don't worry about your favorite characters, though; the only people who lost their powers were Jubilee and a few million characters nobody gave a crap about.

Storm is married to the Black Panther and spends most of her time in Africa.

Which writer made xavier walk? that way i'll know which one to hate!

 

[Colossal Spoons]

I like him walking actually. It's Scott that needs a good crippling nowadays

 

[UraniaChang]

!!!

 

[roach]

its funny cause its true

 

[UraniaChang]

Because a leader should do nothing but sit there in order to make others feel great.

 

[Colossal Spoons]

Magneto just wanted to be friends last week

What's wrong with Charles walking? I like that he no longer needs a wheelchair to get around, or someone to carry him.

As for who did it... I think it was Ed Brubaker. Someone can fact-check me on this one, but I think Charles showed up with his legs intact in a story written by Ed Brubaker.

 

[roach]

I thought Grant Morrison had him walking before that...he was walking in Excalibur

 

[Havok83]

No he wasnt. He had a wheelchair in Excalibur. Morrison had him walking after he got healed by Xorn but in Planet X, it was revealed that it was due to nannites, which Xorn extracted and recrippled him. He had a wheelchair in Excalibur. He didnt start walking again till Deadly Genesis and that was due to the Scarlet Witch's magic

 

[roach]

im pretty sure he was walking around in Genosha

 

[Spidermanfan]

Well, i thought there was always a good point he was in a wheel chair. but i guess like dardevil, it was just some random idea to make him different.

lol...he wasnt. This was Xavier in Excalibur. They even gave him a new wheelchair. His legs werent healed until after M-Day hit

 

[Colossal Spoons]

Man, I miss that book
