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

And I really, really, really, really want Psyloce in the new cartoon!!!!! And where'd you read that Sammy was in it?!?!

Do we have a source on this? Or even a thread on this elsewhere????

And Jean is gone? But Cyke is back - interesting.

And arguably Gambit was the lead in the original X-Men cartoon.

You think so? I mean, I remember some episodes are centric to Wolverine, and some centric to Cyclops and some centric to Gambit - but by the final season Gambit barely appears. I mean in the final episode, Jean, Wolverine and Cyclops are the MAIN characters.

What makes you say Gambit, granted it's been about year since I watched the whole thing, you probably have good reasons to say this... I'm just curious.

 

[usagicassidy]

I wouldn't say it's Gambit. I'd say it is an ensemble team and they did a really good job with allowing every character to shine brightly. In the end, though, I'd agree that Wolverine, Cyclops, and Jean slightly have the edge over everyone else.

 

[Havok83]

It was definetly an ensemble show. I think Wolverine, Gambit, Cyclops, Storm and Rogue were more lead than Beast, Jubilee and definetly Jean, but they all got their fair share of time in the spotlight

WIZARD EXCLUSIVE: KILLING FIELD
Marvel provides the four key questions—and unbelievable answers—that will rock Marvel’s mutants to the brink of extinction in this fall’s ‘X-Men: Messiah Complex’

The drums of war beat loudly for the X-Men this fall.

October’s “Messiah Complex” one-shot kicks off a crossover between X-Men, Uncanny X-Men, New X-Men and X-Factor through January.

“‘Messiah Complex’ will cause characters to choose sides once and for all,” explains Group Editor Axel Alonso. “They’re standing on the edge of a cliff when it comes to their existence.”

And their existence revolves around four key questions, provided exclusively by Marvel, and the answers can be found here. Think you can figure it all out? Let’s get started…

Who Will Lead Them?
“Our leader will make very hard decisions, like a general in war,” says Alonso. “It will change this person’s relationship with everyone.”

We see three contenders: Prof. X, but he’s been kinda shady in that category lately. There’s Cyclops, but are his leadership methods too antiquated for the task? And there’s the radical Cable, but could his terrorist ways go too far? Oh, and there’s the fact that Cable’s currently dead. Perhaps new blood takes the reins.

Who Will Betray Them?
This betrayal of mutantkind, Alonso promises, will be the biggest the X-Men have ever seen, and could mean curtains for all mutants.

Mr. Sinister ordered mass genocide by slaughtering the Morlocks, so he’s a prime suspect. So’s the conniving Mystique, who goes to great lengths to get what she wants. And how much do we really know about Bishop and his future, anyway?

Who Will Die?
One of the mutants below WILL die.

“If there are no casualties in war, ultimately you stop believing in the peril,” X-Men writer Mike Carey explains. “The deaths will have power.”

The death of a big gun like Beast, the brains of the X-Men, could truly cripple the team. Or even the demise of Rogue, a Marauders prisoner, or hard-to-kill Madrox, the duplicating star of X-Factor, would show the X-Men how serious their enemies are.

Who Holds the Fate of Mutantkind?
Could it be…an infant? “A child is born and we don’t know, but we suspect, that this could be evidence of a new mutant birth,” teases Alonso.

If not the child, then who? You can’t discount Storm’s access to the most technologically advanced country in the world. Or the fact that Wolverine is mutantkind’s ultimate survivor. Or that X-23 is a clone of Logan. Regardless, Alonso reiterates the stakes very plainly:

“‘Messiah Complex’ is like a shot heard around the world,” Alonso says. “It shows the X-Men there’s no more time to f--- around. It’ll hit like a rocket ship to the gut.”

[Jake Cassidy]

I have a feeling that Beast is gonna die. Anyone else?

 

[Canemacar]

It looks like half a picture to me. I'm guessing there's more on the right that Marvel has cropped off and blurred the edges.

Beast's face looks like an old pirate's face.

Rogue looks fugly.

Cable's standing next to his own grave.

 

[Slant]

Wolverine's stepping on Sabes' grave.

Its love.

 

[Havok83]

Rogue looks old on that cover

 

[OutcryX]

lets see...the person that will die IS....Madrox. calling it now

 

[OutcryX]

but of them all...i'm hoping for x-23...but we KNOW she isnt going to die...neither is logan....perhaps ROGUE!?!?! it would only be logical...carey is a crazed Rogue fanatic....and what do most fanatic/stalkers do with the one they love the most? kill them

 

[Canemacar]

but of them all...i'm hoping for x-23...but we KNOW she isnt going to die...neither is logan....perhaps ROGUE!?!?!

I'm not that lucky.

 

[UraniaChang]

Sammy the Fishboy(WTF?).

...WTF indeed.

thats not necesarily true. Wolverine has been a supporting character throughout the entire run of AXM. He is hardly the star or lead in that book

Wolverine and the X-Men, hard to believe he would be a supporting character when his name's in the title.

 

[Canemacar]

Who Will Lead Them?

Cyke. It's already been said he steps up his game and becomes the general.

Who Will Betray Them?

I'm thinking Beast. He's being set-up for a heel-turn in the Endangered Species back-ups.

Who Will Die?
One of the mutants below WILL die

My guesses: Madrox, Mystique, or Bishop

Who Holds the Fate of Mutantkind?

Cable, who comes back from the "Dead".

 

[Jake Cassidy]

The only thing we know for sure is that Wolverine won't be the one who dies.

 

[UraniaChang]

Who Will Lead Them?

Cyke. It's already been said he steps up his game and becomes the general.

:heart:

Who Will Betray Them?

I'm thinking Beast. He's being set-up for a heel-turn in the Endangered Species back-ups.

I'm thinking it's Beast as well...it would be hard for the rest of O5 to take this though.

Who Will Die?
One of the mutants below WILL die

My guesses: Madrox, Mystique, or Bishop

You trying to set Outcry off? t:

 

[spideyboy_1111]

i think mystique and beast have the best chance of dying...

 

[Colossal Spoons]

Here's hoping Rogue or X-23 is the one to die

 

[UraniaChang]

No idea you don't like Rogue that much.

 

[OutcryX]

Who Will Lead Them?

Cyke. It's already been said he steps up his game and becomes the general.

Who Will Betray Them?

I'm thinking Beast. He's being set-up for a heel-turn in the Endangered Species back-ups.

Who Will Die?
One of the mutants below WILL die

My guesses: Madrox, Mystique, or Bishop

Who Holds the Fate of Mutantkind?

Cable, who comes back from the "Dead".

sorry to disappoint you my dear canopener....but bishop won't be the one to die

 

[Kevin]

lets see...the person that will die IS....Madrox. calling it now

I agree, which is so stupid because he died before already. ****ing Marvel. As much as love her, I hope it's rogue, but it won't be her. She's set to get a new power soon. And nothing will happen to Beast until Astonishing x-men is finished, which won't be anytrime soon. NOT JAMIE!!!

 

[Havok83]

I could see Bishop dying as he's become so unimportant in the X-verse recently

 

[OutcryX]

I could see Bishop dying as he's become so unimportant in the X-verse recently

which is exactly why he WONT die...because it wont have any weight...and they are promising that the death will.

 

[ProfeZZor X]

Here is the full image... Only when it says that someone will die, it's referring to the LEFT of where the ARTICLE is. So that basically means anyone on this entire image could possibly die.
