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

[Silver Phoenix]

I stand by my Mastermind theory!I do want to know where this is from though,lol!Xmen-MC or some Black Panther issue?

 

[DarthCyclopsRLZ]

This from BP. Lady M or any other x-man have nothing to do with it.

 

[Canemacar]

Yeah, it's a BP story dealing with alternate realities or something. Point is, it's not real.

....But the X-men totally have orgies off-panel.

Hmmm...maybe I ought to start reading BP!

And you think?

 

[Canemacar]

And you think?

Maybe not so much now that they've got kids running around the place, but in the old days? Oh yeah.

 

[DarthCyclopsRLZ]

Dunno, man, Cyke never really struck me as the sharing type.

He can only be shared.

 

[DarthCyclopsRLZ]

He can only be shared.

Meh, even if he'd had a threesome with Jean and Emma, you know he would've spent weeks brooding and moaning about how wrong and unfair to them it was. Cyke's kinda predictable when it comes to those things. t:

You forgot to throw Logan into the bunch!
Each of them can have Scott for two days in a week, Sunday is his day off, he can use it for brooding. t:

 

[Silver Phoenix]

Oh, my...the art is incredible!!!!!

And everyone has a secret talent...Cyclops' hidden flair lies in brooding! He needs at least day after day to do that, else he'd never catch up!

We're back at the start of a new week and this time we're hitting up the villainous Purifiers. To be honest, when we first read the Messiah Complex special, we were a bit surprised to see the former followers of William Stryker (this was before much information had been released about the series). To us they had always seemed like smaller fish from the realm of the New X-Men series. They were certainly viscious, having killed many of the students at Xavier's School, but seemed relatively new and less-developed than some of the mutants' legendary villains. But it appears Marvel is intent on pushing them forward. After read that first issue, we're inclined to say, "Mission Accomplished."

We thought we'd ask the X-editors about the Purifiers. Just who are they and how important are they to the overall story?


Day Six
Villain Spotlight - The Purifiers

Axel Alonso, man of few words, kept his analysis of the Purifiers brief. "The Purifers? Three words: Kill the baby," said Alonso. "This their mission: Make sure the baby is terminated, no matter the cost."

Nick Lowe chimed in with his thoughts as well. "The Purifiers were a surprise. If you aren't reading New X-Men, you don't know who they are. Once you read Messiah Complex, you'll definitely know who they are. They come into the crossover mean and fast. And come out of the crossover a major player.

"Who are they? The Purfiers started as the military arm of Rev. William Stryker's ministry. He had his churches and then he had the Purifiers. They massacred a bus full of Xavier Institute kids. They've sniped New X-Men, stabbed New X-Men and terrorized New X-Men. They laid siege to the mansion, took down Bishop, Cannonball, Beast and Emma Frost. They are the real deal.

"Now, after William Stryker preached of a mutant Anti-Christ, they must spring into action. And it is going to be a blood-bath. There are secrets about the Purifiers that you will learn in Messiah Complex. And they're scary."

Mutant town massacre?

 

[iamlegend]

Mutant town massacre?

Sure seems that way.

Aren't there older panels out there of the Marauders coming to the "rescue" and attacking the Purifiers?

 

[DarthCyclopsRLZ]

Aren't there older panels out there of the Marauders coming to the "rescue" and attacking the Purifiers?

Yep, there were.

If it does happen in Mutant Town, one can't help but wonder WTF X-Factor is doing...? I know they don't have a jet, but they can't NOT be aknowledged, right?

Maybe they get hit first?

 

[Specter313]

That's supposed to be at the hospital where the new mutant birth happened.

 

[DarthCyclopsRLZ]

That's supposed to be at the hospital where the new mutant birth happened.

So it's basically a MArauders/Purifiers brawl rather than a massacre?

Then who the hell are all these people getting torched?

 

[Canemacar]

From the looks of things, the whole town bites it in the fight.

 

[iamlegend]

From the looks of things, the whole town bites it in the fight.

And then all the Purifiers in the area bite it at the hands of the Marauders... Should be a fun issue.

 

[DarthCyclopsRLZ]

From the looks of things, the whole town bites it in the fight.

Don't remember the Purifiers' exact stance on collateral damage, but they do seem to indiscriminately try to burn the f**k out of anything in sight.

The Purifiers don't know exactly who this mutant is, so they're doing what any fanatical, psychotic cult does: kills everything they see move.

 

[OutcryX]

Marauders v. Purifiers...should be interesting...but seeing how the Marauders are mutant killers themselves...perhaps they are pissed that the Purifiers got their first and had choice pickin's
