X-Men the live action TV series, or Xavier's Institute

Season Two: Forge

Spoiler

In my idea the X-Men meet the man called Forge as a traitor, working for Trask. He either designed most or all of the Sentinel robot. He maybe designed them, designed most of them, and maybe even built a lot of it.
I imagine his power being similar to Mica's on "Heroes", being able to automatically understand mechanical things, and have an almost intimate knowledge of how they work. Being insanely far beyond anyone in terms of robotics.
But maybe he never knew he was a mutant, working for Trask.
Xavier and the X-Men make him see the error of his ways and he joins Xavier's school to repent sort of.
Without Forge, Trask isn't lost since he already has Forge's designs for the Sentinels and their weapons.
While there he boosts things like their security (which Beast had already boosted, so now its even beyond that), their "Danger Room," Cerebro, and things like that.

Having Forge's powers would excuse why robot trackers are possible, why his robot limb is possible, and why things like holographic danger rooms, and Cerebro, are all possible.

He is a Native American of the Cheyenne nation.
Forge has one robot limb (like an hand). Its hardly ever seen, but when it is seen it isn't that complex loo

 

[The Question]

Would you include Forge's spiritual side? In the 616, he's a devout follower of the old Cheyenne religion.

 

[Artistsean]

I suppose so, why?

 

[The Question]

I suppose so, why?

I just like that aspect of the character.

 

[Artistsean]

It would be fun to show different cultures and such.

Season Two's Morlocks:

Calisto:
I read somewhere that she used to be a very beautiful woman, but she got scarred. It also said that she no longer trusts society. So I was thinking her mutant powers, her scar, and her not trusting society are connected.

Ape

Calaban

Not pictured are Leech and Artie. (there are many more, but these two are important.)

In my idea for them on the live action X-Men show,
they are people whose lives are destroyed by their mutant powers. They either ran away, lost their jobs and families, are too dangerous to be around others, or are simply to freakish to fit in with others.
They consist of a lot of young runaways, homeless, and the like.
Callisto has made a community for these mutants.
Unaware of Magneto or Xavier, Callisto created a place for these mutants to stay, hidden away from society.
Her Society is a mix of the young, the homeless, the middle class, anyone who was forced out of their life by their mutant powers and by society. There is a whole community there, not just five or even ten, but more like thirty or more.
They are also always on the move, they stay in abandoned buildings, foreclosed homes, empty subways, condemned buildings and houses,

In this idea, instead of one of Callisto kidnapping an X-Men for her mate, Xavier and his students travel there when Xavier, using Cerebro, finds them. He wants to offer his Mansion as a place for them to stay. He invites them to his school.
For effects we could do some freaky mutants, but nothing too far out there that would cost too much.
Almost all of them should have some freakishness to them, so that they don't look exactly human in one way or another.

 

[Artistsean]

Season Three
New students join, as more of the originals leave, and maybe even some others.
One new student is Betsy Braddock, a sort of foreign exchange student from England. She arrives with her brother(?) who came to see her off.

Betsy Braddock/ Psylocke

She is on one, maybe two, episodes in her blond English body before she accidentally switches bodies during an attack from an assassin sent to attack the school (or something that would send the assassin into the school and cause Betsy to be in a fight with said assassin.)
Betsy switches bodies, maybe right before her blond English body dies. She is now forever trapped in a different woman's body, an Japanese assassin's body. But in her eyes there is still a sense that it is Betsy.

So the character starts out as one actress, and after only two or so episodes she is replaced by another actress. (maybe use contacts). She even wears the same style of clothing.
Her character maybe even retains some of the assassin's combat skills, but must hone the rest while training with Logan.

 

[Artistsean]

X-Men live action TV series,

Joining the cast in Season Three is Remy [FONT=arial,sans-serif][SIZE=-1]LeBeau[/SIZE][/FONT]/ Gambit:

I also used this as reference,

Spoiler

and this as a starter point

Spoiler

He joins under mysterious circumstances. His background is very sketchy. He has lived in New Orleans as a thief for most of his life.
He is very similar to Wolverine, a bad boy anti hero.
He has long hair, but not too long. He looks like he hasn't shaved in a day or two, and his has red eyes.
He, as a character, is incredibly charming but you never really know if you can trust him. But for some reason he is very likable.
As it turns out, later on, the Xavier students find out that he was not only involved, but he hand picked the Marauders, and lead them in the Morlock Massacre.
It is even revealed later that he has direct ties to Mr. Sinister. Sinister (who is also revealed to also have strong ties to Scott and Alex Summers' life and powers.) is also revealed to be

After this reveal, he sort of leaves the X-Men. He becomes free agent of sorts. And even later on he rejoins the X- Men, still unsure if they can trust him.




The main villain of Season Three is,
Mr. Sinister (AKA Nathanial Essex)

Mr. Sinister acts from behind the scenes at first. but later gets directly involved. He is behind the mutation of the Morlocks, they are his "failed experiments." He uses Gambit and the Marauders to try and wipe out his failures. It is also revealed, possibly even later on, that he boosted Scott Summers' and Alex Summers' powers. He has been tampering with them since they were infants. Maybe even responsible for their parents deaths. He also boosted Remy's powers, and even gave powers to some of the Marauders and boosted those that already had them.
Sinister somehow understands the genetics that makes people humans or mutants. He has somehow learned how to give out powers, boost them, and even (maybe) take them away.
He is very pale, with jet back hair, and red blood shot eyes. He dresses very elaborately in all black and his marked on his forehead with a red diamond.
His laboratories look eerie and maybe a little like Dr. Frankenstein's lab (old fashioned).
His goals aren't clear at first, this season all we know is that he likes to experiment and use the world as his laboratory and use mutants especially as his test subjects. He doesn't seem to care about anyone or anything beyond his own wants and desires.
His interests in Scott and Jean are as yet unknown except that he claims they are the key, their mutant powers.

Mr. Sinister is the main villain during Season Three, with Magneto still around as well as some of the other major enemies like Kelly or the Juggernaut, but after Season Three he becomes somewhat of a side character.
He doesn't go away, but he isn't center stage. Much like Spike from Buffy, he sticks around for a long time.

 

[steelio2006]

sry that its taking so long for the pilot. been really busy as of late.

 

[Artistsean]

Don't worry. I have been busy too. Do what you have to do first, no problem.

two scenes I would love to have in the show (during Season Two) would be the one from the comics in Deadly Genesis where Xavier gets all the students from around the world together.
It mentions in the book that at first everyone is talking a different language and not understanding one another, but a Telepathic Crash Coarse in the English language closed the gap in a matter of minutes.

I would also like to see a scene like this one:

A scene, during Season Two, where Charles talks to Miora (or his Nurse Girlfriend) about his students, and his possible 2nd generation of students that he has already looked into.

Spoiler

Not necessarily the idea that their international status would cause problems, but that even at the start of the Xavier school he had already looked at the second generation of students.

 

[Artistsean]

An idea for a Phalanx (spelling?) episode or two:

It depends on how it out there the show would get I guess, how deep into the fantasy world it can go.
But the idea is that the Phalanx is like a living computer thing, like robotic vine and roots, and plants, type of thing. Somehow the X-Men come into contact with it.
(one of the problems would be that now you have introduced aliens into their world.)
Doug Ramseys (spelling?) communicates with it using his mutant powers.
Whatever conflict was happening is settled.

Several episodes later Doug is killed (liked I mentioned earlier in this thread), maybe even in this episode, and the Phalanx not understanding death inhabits his body to allow it to move around.
So the effects would first show the Phalanx as robotic plant like life, and then later show it in Doug (with bits of techno stuff on his body, like around his eyes and mouth, and fingernails. Maybe even use color contacts, and make it look like the techno stuff is supporting his body.)

Don't know if its a very good idea, or if it fits my X-Men idea at all.
What do you guys think?

 

[Artistsean]

Let me know what you guys think of my ideas.

 

[Artistsean]

Here is Season Three's Marauders:

Spoiler

The group are a motley crew of super powered assassins and serial killers. Some are mutants, while others are mutants who had their powers boosted by Mr. Sinister, and still some are humans given mutant powers by Mr. Sinister.
The team is lead by Remy "Gambit" [FONT=arial,sans-serif][SIZE=-1]LeBeau, who has had his powers boosted by Sinister.
Also on the team is:
Victor Creed/ Sabretooth
[/SIZE][/FONT]Philippa Sontag/ [FONT=arial,sans-serif][SIZE=-1]Arclight
[/SIZE][/FONT]Kodiak Noatak/ Harpoon
John Greycrow/ Scalphunter
Vertigo
Michael Baer/ Blackbuster
Janos Quested/ Riptide
Kim Il Sung/ Scrambler
and
Malice (possessing the body of Lorna Dane)

In this I was thinking that Blockbuster was genetically mutated by Mr. Sinister into a hulking beast (which is why he has a caveman like brow), other mutants like Gambit have had their powers boosted by Sinister, but some like Sabretooth haven't been touched. (although this could be wear Sinister gives Creed some upgrades like some adimentium in his bones.) Scalphunter is meant to have tattoos all over his (the grayish markings. But Sinister has also stuck some techno implants into him and are very visible on one arm. Harpoon is also meant to have a tattoos on one arm.
Riptide's hair turned gray instantly because of the shock to his system from Sinister's mutation.
Lorna Dane's character (and the actress playing her) returns during this storyline but is possessed by the bodiless mutant known as Malice. Malice uses Lorna's magnetic abilities for Mr. Sinister (and perhaps even get Lorna's powers boosted by Sinister.)
They are sent after Sinister's "failed experiments" and kill many but not all. Some escape and reach the Xavier school mansion. (perhaps some get away thanks to Gambit, who never intended to be part of this or has had a change of heart.)
Whenever the Marauders fight the X-Men it is very intense and maybe even some of them are killed (the Marauders I mean.)
(This could even be where Warren leaves the show, during the fight his wings are crippled when Harpoon pins him to the wall. He looses his wings but decides to use his company he inherited to help Xavier's cause. Or maybe not)

I'd also like to hear what you guys think of my
Doug Ramseys idea and my other ideas.

 

[jaymes_e06]

Liking the Marauders. :thumbsup:

What are your thought on the mutant super affluent group The Hellfire Club?

 

[Artistsean]

Glad you liked them,

I have some thoughts about the Hellfire Club group, I want to get to them soon. But in case I do not,

My idea is that they are really rich business men and women who belong to this secret organization type club. So they don't always hang out at the Hellfire Club, its more like an after work, special occasions, secret meetings, type of thing.
So they also wouldn't always dress that way or have their hair and sideburns that way either. So I think they have those costumes and wigs and fake sideburns they wear at the meetings.

So They would look normal out of the Hellfire Club, like regular boring Wallstreet businessmen.

So thats my idea for them, hope I can get to it soon.

 

[Artistsean]

Season Three's

Lorna Dane/ Polaris

Lorna is a young woman who discovers she is a mutant with the power of magnetism. At the same time her hair turns green (almost like her powers emerging was such a shock to her system that it turned her hair green.)
She doesn't know much about mutants, but she does know that she shares a power with the most dangerous mutant, Magneto.
She also finds out that she is adopted (?), and thinks this must mean that Magneto is her father.
She is sort of girly, wears pinks and stuff. Her hair color doesn't look like she did it herself, or that she is wearing a wig. It should look like real, natural hair, only green.
She doesn't become a regular cast member, only appearing here and there. On one of her returns to the show she is a member of the Marauders (possessed against her will by Malice, another mutant, that is using her body and powers.)

Alex Summers/ Havok

Scott finds out that his brother didn't die along with his parents. Perhaps they find him when his powers first manifest, and he is spotted by Cerebro (or perhaps its part of a longer backstory of this season, "the search for Alex Summers.")
Like Lorna Alex doesn't become a regular either, but does show up from time to time.
He wears a black shirt with the circular symbol from the comics. His powers resemble the character "Concussion" from the Tim Allen movie "Zoom's Academy" When he uses his powers his torso (starting where his symbol is), his hands, and his face light up. At first he can't control his powers. But with the help of Xavier's school he can.

 

[mikeyh89]

Wow! This is great.

I've always tried to think of a realistic way to do this, and never actually did haha. So I'm really liking this idea.

I would love to almost do like the "Outback" team at one point, since I loved that team and the interactions. I could do without Longshot I suppose, but I would love to see Dazzler incorporated into this somehow (maybe introduced a little after Rogue and Psylocke?). I know she may not be the most popular or even influential, but I always had a soft spot for her.

Anyways, this is a really neat idea. Good job!

 

[Artistsean]

Thanks you so much. I am glad that you liked it.
I think the beauty of this idea, The X-Men are so numerous that if the show was successful you would never run out of characters, villains, or storylines.
I never wrote Cannonball or Dazzler, or many others, into the show, but I always imagined that the show could run for a long time and include many many mutants that I didn't in my "pitch."
So I do think that Dazzler could make it into the show.

Liking havok's design but he should be a little more scruffy looking, not so clean cut like his bro.

Taking his advise I made Alex more scruffy.
So here we go:

I did some designs of him with spiky hair or messy hair, and some with slicked back hair, but he now has the beginnings of a goatee.

and now here is another from Season Three:
Brian Braddock/ Captain Britain

Spoiler

How he looks in the comics,

and this

and Based off of this

My idea is that when his sister Betsy (AKA Psylocke) comes to America to attend Charles Xavier's school Brian comes along with her to visit.
He wouldn't stay more than a day or two, while he drops off his sister and checks out the school. His visit wouldn't even take up a whole episode unless the story idea centered around him and his sister for some reason.
This would be the "Pre-Captain Britain" Brian Braddock.
His character could even return to visit with his sister, and possibly even become more of a regular depending on his popularity. His Betsy, sister, and maybe even Kitty and Kurt could go visit Brian in England.
I designed him wearing his dress clothes for when he first arrives, and some of his casual clothes.
A shirt of the Union Jack and the lion symbol.
As for his character, "he is really rigid. The way that he stands and the way he moves around. He is totally humorless and not really competent for being a hero."
A sort of quote from Alan Davis about how he and Alan Moore (I think it was) redesigned Captain Britain all those years ago.
His character in the show doesn't seem like an obvious hero, but that doesn't meant that he isn't and that if his character returned or became a more regular cast member, that he wouldn't prove himself.
(so, for example, if his character became popular enough he could return and help the Xavier School against some enemy.

I do want to see him return to visit his sister, after she has switched bodies with a Japanese assassin.

 

[Vapor]

Cool ideas, really well thought out.. I have lots of ideas for like films and stuff but can never seem to flesh them out like this so well done.

But something like this could really work.. if it was like a blend of Heroes and Buffy and kept a focus on the school/young students side of thing.. I'm assuming that Fox would have tv rights to the xmen too so I'm surprised that fox/marvel haven't really progressed with anything like this before.. I guess budget reasons would be an obstacle but their is some pretty good work being done in TV these days, I mean look at Heroes or even Dr Who.. and if a show like Star Trek can have fairly 'real' look alien make up in nearly every episode then they could easily sort that out for characters like the Morlocks.. Plus using a tv show format, they could develop and use characters/ideas from the comics not yet committed to film.

With the success of tv shows like Prison Break, Lost and Heroes and the X-Men movies, this would be the type of show people would wanna star in so it wouldn't be too hard to find willing, especially genre actors.. and audiences would eat it all up.

Thinking of good but easily accessible actors, they could have Robert Picardo as Xavier and William Sadler could probably work as either Magneto, Stryker or Senator Kelly..

With Beast would you have him becomes furry in season one or save it for season 2 and would it be a gradual process over several episodes or would it happen throughout one episode? I know you've set this out as a young students at school thing but Beast is probably one of the characters that could work as an adult too, maybe helping Xavier set up the school and teaching the youngsters..

 

[Artistsean]

Thanks for such a strong endorsement. I actually think most of the ideas just came from watching Buffy and Angel and those shows. Someone on this Superherohype forum posted a thread asking about what TV show would you like to see (I think based on a comic, I don't remember.)
And I got this idea. And I thought about it in terms of the budget and style of Buffy.
Thanks so much for liking my idea. I wish it was a show. It would be fun to watch.
The overall focus, like you said, would be on the school, and the students. But the main idea would be about the world and the effects of mutants on that world. It would focus on that and Xavier's plan.

For Beast, since he is so smart and grown up I imagine that he would seem like on of the grown ups, along with Moira, Xavier, and the others. But he would be around the same age as the rest of the students from Season One.
My idea for him would be that he is human for a good portion of Season One, but during one episode he changes into the Beast. It should be set up like one of the changes on a show that you don't expect to last.
The audience got so used to Hank McCoy the human, now he is a Beast. Surely this will be switched back.
But it wouldn't be. Hank would remain a Beast for the remainder of his time on the show. (Only looking closer to human when he shaves all the blue fur off, only to have it grow back within a few weeks.) He also helps around the Mansion, with such things as a security system or making advances to the Danger Room.

Another thing I was going to mention earlier, which I will mention now because it fits this too,
is that another great thing about an X-Men live action tv show would be its large roatating cast.
No matter who is on the show, they can leave and be replaced.
For example, Cyclops is an X-Men who doesn't really have anywhere to go. He grew up in the mansion, the X-Men are really his only family, he is their leader,
but
If the actor playing Scott wants to leave after three season, he can and the cast just changes. Say Wolverine becomes popular, but then he leaves, like Scott he too is replaceable. Not in a bad way, like holding it over them in contracts or something.
But if an actor wants to leave, as many eventually do, then it wouldn't be a fear. There are so so many X-Men, that the entire cast could eventually change. Like any other cast member, Xavier could leave as well. His exit would just take some more effort in explaining and such.
(I hope that made sense and wasn't rambling.)

Which brings me back to what got me thinking about the roatating roster.
In the comics the first original X-Men to leave is Beast, then Jean, Bobby, and Warren, leave shortly after.
I think Scott leaves next after that, but I was thinking that Scott doesn't really have anywhere else to go. So this show would hold onto Scott Summers, and Xavier, as long as possible.

When Beast eventually returns, for however long. He is treated more like an adult, a professor. My idea would be that he returns as a Teacher.
As the cast changes and grows, the school does too. More teachers are added.

Anyway.
Thanks. And if you have any ideas or suggestions feel free to post them.




Well, it looks like Season Three will be about Family Ties and Siblings,
We have Betsy Braddock and her Brother Brian showing up in Season Three, as well as Gambit and Sinister showing up and having ties to Scott and Alex' family and past, we also get the Morlocks who are sort of one giant family, and then we have Cane Marco AKA the Juggernaut returning along with Sean Cassidy's cousin "Black" Tom Cassidy:

Spoiler

He is a prominent member of a terrorist group, unlike the Brotherhood, who work as terrorists to try and further mutant rights, his terrorist group is political and to further their governmental plans. (Not mutant based.)
He is briefly seen during Season One, when the X-Men face off against Sean Cassidy. But now he returns, possibly no longer with that terrorist group. Now he has aligned himself with the Juggernaut, Cane Marko. They both look out for each other, but both Cane and Tom are always looking out for their own best interests.
His power only works when he channels it through direct contact with wood. So he always carries a wooden cane. Without any wood he would be powerless. But not harmless, he is a highly skilled fighter.

Spoiler

I was thinking this could be the symbol of the terrorist group:

 

[Artistsean]

Season Three:
During Season Three the Human side starts and "Official" Governmental response to the whole Mutant thing.
This is where Valerie Cooper is introduced:

Spoiler

She is like Amanda Waller from the JLU cartoon show, sort of. Her job is similar, and she has a similar attitude.
Valerie presents a tough front. She is a realist. She doesn't hate mutants just because. But she does see the threat they could pose and that some have posed. her first concern is for the regular civilians.
She has also no real experience with mutants first hand.
She is introduced during Season Three, but its shown that she has been there since day one. She was even there when the Sentinels were unofficially used.
Now, in Season Three, she is an official member of an official group assigned to the Mutant Crisis by the President. The Group also contains Senator Kelly. She could even have a scene or two with Kelly where you see that she isn't as closed minded as he is.
Overtime she has run ins and more time with actual mutants, and eventually switches over to Xavier's way of thinking. Not his side but his thinking. Her first concern becomes the well being of all humans, mutant and non-mutant. (this change in her character could take place over the coarse of a few seasons though. I don't see it happening all in one season.)
She is a youngish woman, possibly around 30 something. She is tall and blond, and wears suits and such.
She is a tough woman, she has to be with the job she is in. But she knows how to take care of herself without any powers. She has used a gun before and can during the coarse of the show.

 

[Artistsean]

Season Four:
My ideas for seasons of the live action X-Men show begin to blur. I mean they blur for what seasons, I am not sure where they should go.
But one idea for Season Four is to do the Days of Futures Past storyline. So Senator Kelly would become a big part of Season Four. And eventually he could have a change of heart by the end of the season.

And although I know, or I think I know, that this isn't where he comes in in the comics I figured why not introduce him here during the future story stuff.
Lucas Bishop:

I Have him next to how he looked for the comics, for comparison and such.
When he first shows up on the X-Mansion doorsteps, he arrives in a tattered and dirty uniform. And although he claims to be from the future, no one can really be sure, he is too rattled and his mind is too scrambled from the time jump for Professor Xavier to read it.
But he does wear an X-men symbol.
He is branded with an "M" for Mutant, has a bar code on him (like his arm, inner wrist, back of the neck, or something).
His hair is also shaved off.
When they bring him in they give him some old Xavier Institute school uniforms that they students used to wear during Season One.
His future, not sure what it was in the comics, (I am familiar with the cartoon for Bishop) is the Days of Future Past future.
Sentinels took over, they are many and have many different models (including giant ones.)
In his future Senator Kelly is assassinated and that starts a chain reaction that ends with Mutants in camps being guarded by Sentinels.
Mutants have to hide and stay on the run, but most are eventually found and taken to the camps or killed. (you guys probably know the story.)
When we do get to see glimpses of the future we could see Future Colossus, future Wolverine, future Storm, and Scott and Jean's future daughter. They could appear like they do in the comic of Future Past story.
We could even have the story go back and froth between past and future, almost like that movie the Butterfly Effect only he isn't constantly messing up things.
(I guess his time traveling would work however it did in the comics.)
Also not sure about what time he should be from. If the show is set in the 60-70s, then he could be all the way from the year 2000 (so far into the future).
The important thing about the future stuff is to ground it in reality like Heroes is doing. Don't have characters wearing ridiculous futuristic armor and clothing.

One fun Idea I had was to have Bishop have a few costume changes, sort of like in the JLU episode "the once and future thing" Luca's suddenly could have a different costume and be from a different timeline.
Like he could be in tattered clothes, and suddenly he is in black leather with a futuristic X symbol on his chest. He would even changes to act like he is from that future. Because to him he is, and always has been, and has never been that other Bishop.
The later he could change back, or change to another version of a possible Bishop, for example have dreadlocks and a beard and trashy looking armor.
One version could even have Bishop without a M, bar code, or any scars.
And it would just be fun to have one version have a mullet and red bandanna like his comic persona's first appearance.
Or
Perhaps he could come back to the past a few times during his time on the show and each time he returns he looks different, because his helping the X-Men did change his future and like I said earlier he was never that other Bishop.
When Bishop uses his power his body glows (especially his hands [mostly], and his face [especially his eyes, nostrils, and mouth]). Its similar, but not exactly, like the Atomic power on Heroes.

This Season is also where we meet the possible Future versions of other characters, like Mimic:

Either that, or Mimic returns as a new member of Mystique's all new Brotherhood.

 

[Artistsean]

I really, really like those ideas.

You should do days of future past-esque designs for your characters.

Here Peter Rasputin (spelling?) in his Mutant Prison Camp uniform, with the power blocking collars, and then in his uniform without the collar using his powers.
All the mutants in the camp wear the same greenish jump suits with the M on it. They also all wear the same black shoes and power stopping collars.
In this idea the mutants are branded with an M on their right eye, with a bar code on their arm, and then their head is shaved.
Then I have Peter once he is rescued from the Camp, wearing new clothes, including his very old X-Men uniform shirt.
Next is Peter in the new X-Men uniform (if the show were to show him after his rescue), here the X-Men are sort of like a rebel army, so they dress like it.
(And if all went to plan and the X-Men stopped the camps and saved the day) Here is Peter after some time, his hair has grown back.
(Perhaps Peter and a few of the former X-Men were able to escape.
They became a band of rebels, and even started wearing a new X-Uniform. Bishop became one of those rebels, and was sent back by Peter and the others during a large and most likely tragic battle.

Here is Logan, from this Days of Future Past storyline.
My thinking here, without have read the actual Days of Future Past story, is that Logan was able to escape the Camps because of his mutant healing and claws. He used his claws to break off the collar and escaped. He has been slowly building a rebellion and freeing some mutants here and there. It is he who starts the X-Rebels called the "X-Men" in honor of the late Professor Xavier.
Logan wears an old leather bomber jacket, old jeans, and an old turtleneck. He also wear his very old (and maybe rusted) Xavier Institute belt buckle to honor his former school and former mentor Charles Xavier.
Bishop was in the Camp, and became one of Logan's rebels. (I still like the X-Men cartoon's idea of Bishop being a former traitor, used by the Sentinels to track and capture other mutants.)
He is sent during an attack.

Oh, I forgot to mention. The reason Logan can escape is because he first cuts off the collar with his non mutant powered claws, and then his healing ability is able to heal the M branded on his eye and the bar code on his arm. His healing even regrows his hair pretty quick, like in the Weapon X comic. And thats how Logan becomes the first in the rebellion. And plus he has been trained to do this sort of stuff since day one of Weapon X and Alpha Flight and all that.

 

[Shemtov]

y'know i like this idea. however maybe wolvy should be hired as a "gym teacher" instead of a student.

 

[Artistsean]

Like Banshee, Wolverine isn't technically a student. He fills in as a teacher on certain subjects, and takes some classes from time to time. I like the idea of him being a "gym teacher", maybe even a self defense teacher, and stuff like that. But he is allowed to take some classes and live in the dorm area of the mansion.

(now about the Days of Future Past story stuff,
Since this season would deal a lot with time travel and the alternate futures, should Nathan Christopher Charles Summers AKA Cable show up during Season Four?
Sort of deal with the alternate reality stuff during Season Four, get it all done with so to speak and not go back to it later,
or
Should Cable show up during a later season and have more of a focus and maybe his own storyline?)


Here is Sebastian Shaw of the Hellfire Club, maybe from Season Four or maybe since Season Four is about the time travel and future stuff the Hellfire Club could show up in Season Five. (Or maybe make an appearance in Season Four and reappear in Season Five as a bigger threat.)

He is pictured here next to how he looked in the comics for comparison.
The idea is that the Hellfire Club is like the Stone Cutters or something. It is an organization made of some very powerful and wealthy mutants. They get together and dress in old fashion clothing and wear wigs and fake side burns. (should their wigs be old fashioned powdered gray wigs?)
When they aren't at the Hellfire Club they have jobs and lives. But they are all very wealthy and/or influential.
Their goals would be similar if not the same as the comics. Perhaps Warren Worthington III is invited to join and thats how the Xavier Institute gets involved. Or Perhaps they meet the same way they did in the comics.
What would be cool is if the show not only tried to do stories from the comics but also their own stories.
I could design more, like White Queen or their guards. Or their own versions, or modified versions to keep it new for people who are already familiar with the comic story.

 

[Shemtov]

So Artistsean, I have an idea for season 5:Phoenix saga!*Jean develops a second personality, “Phoenix” who is evil and even more powerful then Jean herself. Meanwhile the Hellfire club attack the schol* and Phoenix Decimates them. A group of “gifted” people called the Shi’ar hear of the Holocaust on the Club and aproach the school.You see the Shi’ar are a cult for gifted people. They believe that one day there will be born “the perfect one” a very powerful messiah-like mutant who will shepherd the world into an age of peace and prosperity. However “the perfect one” will go insane and “bring dread vengeance to the world” before s/he is ready to lead.* They think jean is it.
Notable shi’ar:* Majestrix Lilandra.She can read minds and has above-average strenth and endurance. She is the Shi;’ar leader and founder/prophetess
. *Gladiator:

He is Super-strong and can fly. He is shown at points breaking wolverines bones with his little finger, tearing Colossus’s skin with one fingernail and surviving a city-sized explosion caused by Phoenix (lukily over he ocean) with only a couple of bruises. he also has a wolverine-like healing factor. His mutation causes his skin to be a dark-purple color. He grows his hair in a mohawk. He wears a flomboyant ritual costume because before didcovering jean the shi’ar thought he was “the perfect one
”DeathBird:
Lilandra’s sister. She can fly, however she secretly wants to take over the shi’ar for herself to minister..
.Jean later gets knocked out in an epic battle against the School and the Shi’ar. Her condition is unknown at the seasons end……
