Comics The '07 X-Event: Endangered Species, Messiah Complex, & Disassembled

I think that's why they had ot dig up Sinister and the Marauders. There are no hardcore X-Villains left besides them.

I can't wait until Apoccy and Sinister join the X Men. Of course Gambit would still be the untrustworthy one. That'd make it even better.

 

[DarthCyclopsRLZ]

Amen.

Kinda one of the reasons I'm one the few out there who actually liked Danger. Not the premise, but the whole 'I will beat the f**k out of you' the second she busted out of her prison.

Storm: "Gambit, how dare you suggest that Mr. Sinister is plotting against us after you joined Apocalypse!"

 

[Slant]

Ahah Sinister as an X Man would be rather cool.

I'd imagine he'd lurch around Scott's room for DNA Samples. That and trying to get him to "spread his seed" as much as possible.

 

[DarthCyclopsRLZ]

Storm: "Gambit, how dare you suggest that Mr. Sinister is plotting against us after you joined Apocalypse!"

Oh, and let's hope all that speculation on Cable dying is just that.

Storm: Well, cajun, I canno't say the lot of us are *glad* to have you back, but we will give it time.

Gambit: Thanks, 'Ro. I wasn't quite myself back there.

Storm: So, where's Cable? Scott's been looking for him all day.

Gambit: Huh...

 

[DarthCyclopsRLZ]

Ahah Sinister as an X Man would be rather cool.

That and Emma giving him the 'you're not collecting *anything*, you pervert' speech.

Storm: So, where's Cable? Scott's been looking for him all day.

Gambit: Huh...

Rogue: Gambit, how could ya' kill Cable? Ah can't have you on my team now.

Gambit: Dat's a long story, chere...

Rogue: Quiet! Mystique, Sabretooth, c'mon, it's time to go on the mission!

 

[Slant]

Scott: Okay Rogue, I'm going to give you another chance at picking a team

Rogue: Yeah, I've learned my lesson.

Scott: I thought you would, so who are you picking?

Rogue: Well, I took your advice, and I can't take Gambit, because I don't trust him.

Scott: Okay

Rogue: So I'm going with Mystique, Sabertooth, Juggernaut, Apocalypse, Magneto, and Sinister.

Scott: Are you serious? I mean..

Rogue: Well LIVE WITH IT!!!

 

[DarthCyclopsRLZ]

You forgot her going on a recruiting drive at the Hellfire Club.

 

[Valechan]

That was fun

 

[Specter313]

That's the problem nowadays... Every villain has to be a misguided visionary that slowly develops as a character and realizes that they're wrong. Then they have an epiphany, try to commit suicide, and whine a lot. Stupid new age of comic villains.

I think that's why they had ot dig up Sinister and the Marauders. There are no hardcore X-Villains left besides them.

I think the Children of the Vault certainly have potential to fill some of that void. Which is why I kinda wish Carey hadn't killed most of the ones we knew already at the end of the arc.

 

[Specter313]

Amen.

I have to agree too.

 

[iamlegend]

They could have gone there, I suppose. But that arc really seemed to just be passing the time in order to get to the upcoming crossover.

I miss the days when the villains just wanted power/control and didn't give a damn who got offed in the process. It made them far more dangerous. Magneto's been neutered...

 

[OutcryX]

More like a veiled 'The X-World hasn't produced much since at least '92' crack. t:

seriously? 92!?!?!

you just wrote off AoA, Phalanx Covenant,Operation Zero Tolerance, Onslaught(which i agree, could go away forever), and some other stories that are forgettable...as well as some pretty cool characters...
i LOVED the 90s...all the way up to Alan Davis coming on board and rough f**king the remainder of my adolescence....I absolutely HATED his writing and especially his art.

 

[OutcryX]

Amen.

Kinda one of the reasons I'm one the few out there who actually liked Danger. Not the premise, but the whole 'I will beat the f**k out of you' the second she busted out of her prison.

yeah i am a fan of the villains that just want to rip the heroes apart for no other reason than chaining them up to a computer and forcing them to be a training program for the kiddies....her and her cousin, Cerebro, should get together and really f**ck sh_t up


i wonder...what lifeform is powering Cerebra?

 

[DarthCyclopsRLZ]

Magneto's been neutered...

Still can't believe people whined about Morrison's Mags.

Oh no!!! A villain who's HARDCORE!!! GASP!!!

All villains are supposed to be tragic and cuddly now. Didn't you get the memo?

 

[DarthCyclopsRLZ]

Thought it was an April's Fools.

Even though it wasn't even close to April when I did get the blasted thing.

A guy can dream.

Morrison's Magneto was bad. It made very little sense and. Im glad that was changed although I didnt like how it was done

Why didn't it make sense?

I loved Cerebro! The notion that he could CREATE new X-Men and control an army of them was great. He could copy himself and create duplicates. He could use the powers of the X-Men. He knew the Xavier Protocals too if I'm remembering correctly (how to kill each X-Man). I was so upset that he died. He had such potential of being a great villain in the long run.

Danger is cool, but Cerebro was the freakin' king of A.I. Assassins!

 

[Havok83]

Why didn't it make sense?

Why the heck would Magneto go to all that trouble to pretend to be Xorn for months just so he could infilitrate the X-men? He was living with 3 of the MOST powerful telepaths in the world (one with Phoenix level power) and not one of them had any inkling that Xorn was the man that they have known for years and have fought with and against?

He wanted to turn NY into a New Genosha. Fine. But what was the point of creating the Xorn persona? He could have done the same thing he did without doing that. Seemed more like a huge waste of his time to put in all that extra effort. That reveal was for shock value and nothing else. And Xorn's powers were healing powers. How the hell did Magneto manage that?

And his army were children? Thats not Magneto's style. He has enough adult followers with experience who would have fought along side him. He doesnt use children on the front lines like that. When he almost killed Kitty back in the 80s, he felt majorly guilty for that bc she was so young.

He goes about things the wrong way, but Mags for the most part makes sense. The Magneto in Planet X was just plain crazy. I guess that can be blamed on the Kick. And his reasoning for the attack on NY was bc of what happened to Genosha, well it was a mutant who did that, not a human! Seemed his anger was misdirected

 

[DarthCyclopsRLZ]

Woah, woah. I never said the plot/premise of impersonating Xorn made a whole lot of sense. Was hilarious in a GLOATING capacity, though.

Anyway, this talk was about how we loved how hardcore/insane Mags was during Morrison's Planet X. We didn't talk of the merits of *how* he got there.

Of course it doesn't fit Magneto's pattern. Hell, Morrison himself basically said he didn't like at all the whole 'Mags not being a lunatic' thing.

We're just saying some of us agree with him about how Mags turned into a wimp over the years.

^Storyline = bad

Hardcore Mags = kinda cool

Killing off Jean again = so not cool

 

[iamlegend]

Ah c'mon, who HASN'T killed off Jean?

It's not the villains fault... She's really just too much of a plot killer to keep around.

And hardcore Magneto is only kind of cool? Damn Snikt, I thought you WANTED everyone to be hardcore.

Personally, the only villains that're worth the paper they're printed on are the ones that're willing to do whatever's necessary to complete their plans... That's what a villain's supposed to be. You know... That way if they fail it's just one more plan thwarted, whereas if the heroes fail people get hurt.
