X-Men - Part 1

[TheCorpulent1]

So wait, there's this schism between Wolverine and Cyclops, primarily, and then Cyclops won't even be leading the Uncanny X-Men team afterward? Duuuuude, Cyclops is totally dying at the end of Schism.

 

[Anubis]

Eh, he could use a couple of years off.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Yeah, I'm not too broken up about it. Maybe when he comes back, he'll be less of an a-hole.

 

[venom892]

About the AOA characters....It's been implied after the Dark Angel saga in X-force that some might make the jump.

 

[runawayboulder]

I wouldn't automatically assume he's getting killed off. Maybe he is getting kicked off the X-Men and forced to go out on his own, something I suggested a long time ago for him (similar to what they did to Matt Murdock in DD Reborn - only longer).

 

[Panthro]

So... what was this about Cyclops letting a race of vampires get reborn? Or was it just Dracula he let get reborn? Something to do with vampires... oh how Twilight infects the world.

 

[Havok83]

About the AOA characters....It's been implied after the Dark Angel saga in X-force that some might make the jump.

I hope not. I hate alternate reality characters that make permanent jumps over

 

[venom892]

In the wolverine and X-men cover....Looks like Nightcrawler's tail.

 

[Havok83]

In the wolverine and X-men cover....Looks like Nightcrawler's tail.

You're probably right. He's probably the only one that Id accept considering the 616 one is dead. The rest though? Would be highly redundant.

 

[venom892]

Like Dark Beast.When was the last time he was used?

 

[runawayboulder]

What's the difference between the 2 Nightcrawlers anyway? I don't remember. Is it just that AoA Kurt is more of a wannabe pirate?

Vampires have been around in the Marvel universe for years. They recently organized themselves into an army under Dracula's son. They targeted the mutant population for some reason and Jubilee got turned into a vampire. So Cyclops sent Wolverine and Colossus on a couple of reconnaissance missions and determined that his absolute only recourse was to resurrect Dracula. Dracula then promptly refused to work for the X-Men and busted out of their base. LEADERSHIP!

 

[Havok83]

Like Dark Beast.When was the last time he was used?

Dark Beast is currently being used in UXF

What's the difference between the 2 Nightcrawlers anyway? I don't remember. Is it just that AoA Kurt is more of a wannabe pirate?

None. AoA is supposed to be more ruthless and willing to killig. He doesnt have the religious and moral objections when it comes to fighting and using his powers in lethal ways. I guess we can expect to see Kurt teleporting people's limbs off. I guess this is there way of having Kurt go badass without actually having the Kurt go that route

 

[JewishHobbit]

Dark Beast is currently being used in UXF

And before that he was in the second arc of X-Men, and before that Endangered Species, and before that Excalibur (with Magneto and Xavier). He's actually had staying power beyond my expectations.

 

[El Bastardo]

Like Dark Beast.When was the last time he was used?

Recent X-Force. Before that, probably not since Excalibur on Genosha.

What's the difference between the 2 Nightcrawlers anyway? I don't remember. Is it just that AoA Kurt is more of a wannabe pirate?

AoA Kurt is an assassin.

 

[runawayboulder]

Sounds like AoA Kurt will fit right into UXF. Bible thumping 616 Kurt is as dead as disco baby, LONG LIVE MURDERIN' KURT!

 

[venom892]

Eh...It takes away some of the appeal for me.It's why Kurt and Logan's friendship was so interesting.

 

[El Bastardo]

AoA Nightcrawler has always been awesome.

 

[Panthro]

and just for a change of pace more

 

[Manic]

Blade: "I've got to kill Dracula!"

Cyclops: "No! We have to let Dracula live! He and I have an agreement that was never actually made verbally or was vaguely implied before this very moment, but I trust him not to do anything bad to anyone with his larger-than-ever Undead Army of Death."

Blade: "He tried to take over Great Britain last week."

*Cyclops shoots Blade in the back and runs away*

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Oh man, good call. I totally forgot that Blade was right there the whole time pitching a fit about exactly how ******ed Cyclops' plan was.

 

[Havok83]

X-men Season One. Another book featuring the Original 5

 

[runawayboulder]

So back to what Havoc was suggesting, I'm thinking AoA Sabertooth may also cross (along with Nightcrawler) over to 616 at the end of the current UXF arc. They teased AoA Jean may go, but I'm willing to bet that doesn't end up happening. Anybody else care to speculate?

 

[JewishHobbit]

One of the covers made me think Iceman but I don't know why they'd need him. He isn't much different from the main Iceman other than the use of his powers.

You know a continuity that I wanted to see some crossovers but didn't happen... Mutant X. I wanted to see Brute, Bloodstorm, Ice-Man, and Fallen make the jump but they went away with the title.

 

[Havok83]

I didnt like how they didnt even deal with Mutant X when Havok returned. They just treated it off as he disappeared without dealing with the stuff he went through in that book. I wonder if anyone even knows about that or if they think it was some dream he had while in a coma. Too bad it was never explored
