The Official Dark Avengers Thread

[Brainiac 8]

you're right on the Wolverine front.

As for her and Xavier - they alluded to it during Onslaught that he was in love with jean. Fortunately, afterword they never mentioned it again.

No in Millers world, Xavier would have constant rounds ot three way S&M sloppiness involving him, Jean, and Storm.

 

[BrianWilly]

Anyone post this yet?

That looks like Quicksilver's hair.

So this is me praying that Quicksilver doesn't get made into a villain again.

 

[BrianWilly]

Purple is Magneto-esque. Hair could be Wolverine, too, if you think about it.

 

[fifthfiend]

I think those were hyper-evolved humans who went down a different genetic path from mutants.

You know what that makes them?

****ING MUTANTS THAT'S WHAT.

Of all writers I'd have expected Carey to be better than that.

...I mean it was one of the better executions of the "we are not mutants, we are BEYOND MUTANTS... but really we're mutants" thing, but it's still using a plot device that's way, way beyond the sell-by date.

It could be Magneto. And really, I hope he doesn't get made into a villain again. I like him as an anti-villain or anti-hero.

Quicksilver needs to just be a hero. Anti-hero at worst.

I don't think the hair is big enough to be Wolverine's, though. Besides, the X-Men are police consultants, these days.

I'm leaning towards Magneto. The purple spot color, the hair and it doesn't look like he's holding the badge, but rather that it's floating in his hand.

 

[kainedamo]

So lets see...

Very noir style ****. Fedora hat guy with red glasses and a gun, a girl with a cross, green eyes and a gun, and this guy with purple clothes and a police badge.

Someone said he has Quicksilver's hair. He's not really drawn like Quicksilver, though. Too big, too stocky.

Maybe its a whole new book with new characters.

 

[Mr. Green]

It is definately not Wolvie because wolvie doesn't smile like a *****e.

And I doubt it's Magneto because killing cops in a bloody fashion just isn't his style. And I don't think a purple coat means it's Magneto.

Maybe Quicksilver? Probably somebody else...

**** it. Do you guys think this annoying teaser **** increases sales anymore than if they just let us see the faces? Damn, Marvel...

 

[TheCorpulent1]

It increases suspense, which increases anticipation.

 

[Jennifer Walters]

Lol. I'm seriously starting to go with this even possibly being the secret project at Comic Con?

Like somebody said maybe it's ''Frank Miller's X-Men!"

 

[Doc Destruction]

It's not Logan, he has pointed canine teeth. I'm going with Magneto, too.

 

[Shockdingo]

Is it just me or do his fingers seem to have claws at the ends? Or is it just the lighting on the index finger?

 

[Jennifer Walters]

I did think Beast for a moment.

 

[Belvedere]

Anyone post this yet?

I doubt it's Quicksilver or Wolverine, why would they be wearing purple? I'm definetly leaning more towards Magneto, and would actually prefer seeing Mags to be honest.

But then again, I could be blinded by my hate of Pietro as a villain.

 

[masteryoda]

I did think Beast for a moment.

That was my thought also. This just looks like an Elseworlds X-Men tale. Or maybe they're bringing back NYX but with a big writer.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

NYX is already coming back with a mini-series starting next month, I believe.

I'm starting to think this is just an alternaverse X-Men story, too. Or maybe this is what's planned in place of Ultimate X-Men after Ultimatum or something.

 

[Anubis]

Oh, they are doing that, but this isn't it.

 

[hippie_hunter]

The obvious answer is Scott and Jean (green eyes). Of course, that's the obvious answer. The actual answer?

There's no way that X is there for no reason. And, really, after the Astonishing X-Men issue this week, the whole "street detective" thing may not be that far off.

I think it might be Jean because my comics just had an ad just like it but without the X and the phrase "I Want to Be Good"

And according the CBR's Comic-Con X-Men panel it is indeed an X-Men thing.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Alterna-Jean. Coming next summer: X-Noir!

 

[hippie_hunter]

Marvel just confirmed that Jean will indeed be coming back eventually.

 

[Mr. Green]

Like they had to confirm that...

 

[hippie_hunter]

Like they had to confirm that...

True, but after saying it time and time again that they would not be bringing Jean back, they actually say that they're discussing on bringing her back. Plus maybe it has something to do with those posters.

 

[Mr. Green]

Yeah, I wasn't trying to bust your balls, I was more trying to bust Marvel's for thinking we don't KNOW it will happen.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Yeah, I ignore anyone who says a certain character is not coming back if that character is anywhere around the B-list or higher. Captain America's never coming back? My ass. Get off the company line and be honest with yourselves and us, *****ebags.
