X-Men Thread: Regenesis is here, Phil Collins or Peter Gabriel?

More reveals today:

Non surprises: Transonic and Primal on Generation Hope

Moonstar in New Mutants

Danger in Uncanny X-Men

But apparently Psylocke is breaking ranks with X-Force cause she's on Jubilee's X-Men team

I look at it like basically every woman Cyclops slept with is on his side (maybe that's why Storm is on his side, connecting to that Astonishing X-Men cover)

Here's the gatefold with all of Uncanny:

BlankZoe

Generation Hope's silhouettes might be the dumbest reveal I've seen.

The exact same team except for one member and they show the surprise new guy first.

Sneaks

I think Psylocke might be double-agenting for Wolverine, since I can't imagine anyone else whose silhouette that could be on the X-Force lineup.

Macro9

That's what I am thinking as well. I think Gillen was asked recently if Wolverine would have a mole on Scott's side and he said that sounds like something Wolverine would do.

Silex

Speculation on Wolverine & the X-Men roster:

There are rumblings that Quentin Quire may be joining Logan's side, albeit very reluctantly.

Balefuego

I hope not

I hate that character

MastaP

I really liked Quentin Quire.

But I have no desire to read anything about him that takes place after "Riot at Xavier's"

Balefuego

Ugh that story was so bad

Macro9

Haven't they pegged him as being a person hat gets redeemed and is possibly a future bearer of the Phoenix Force several times over the years now?

Guess that redemption has to start somewhere.

I hope he is killed off, though. His appearance in Schism makes me dislike him even more. He's just so damn hate worthy.

As was the entirety of Morrison's X-men run. He really, really didn't get the characters (and inserted some Mary Sues into the mix - Fantomex and the hilariously named Ultimaton).

Lolken

For triple post

WeedLordVegeta

Yeah but fantomex went on to be an awesome character in uncanny x force

Balefuego

Things I liked about Morrison's New X-Men:

Emma
The Cuckoos
Cassandra Nova
Sublime


Things I hated:
Pretty much everything else

Tomanta

I don't get Fantomex. Like, I have no idea what his powers are or how they work. I used to at least understand his position in the X-Verse but I don't even think I get that anymore.

I actually want to like the character but can't get past "apathy".

BlankZoe

I love Fantomex

so much

MastaP

I loved Morrison's run right up until Assault on Weapon Plus.

Balefuego

Well at least we agree that Planet X was garbage

MastaP

It had it's moments (it's Beak moments), but as a finale it was really piece-metal and sloppy.

Balefuego

See, of all the things about New X-Men I hate

Beak is the thing I hate the most

MastaP

Ah naw man, love Beak. Though I stopped following the character when he started looking like a male model.

WeedLordVegeta

Fantomex's powers are essentially weaving mental illusions

And being smooth as fuck

@blankzilla can we be comicsbros

Macro9

He has other abilities, too.

But those are the main ones.

The last issue of Uncanny X-Force made it look like he doesn't actually create illusions but somehow alters reality locally and uses that to fuck with people. Either that or I am reading way too much into some dialog.

mrmr

Don't forget his symbiotic/brain spaceship EVE or whatever.

I really liked Morrison's run. It was his New X-Men, along with the other series New X-Men, that got me back into X-Men, and comics as a whole. So they'll both hold a special place with me. I liked all the wierdness in terms of his new characters. For some reason I still really like Xorn (mostly just love his look) and his big reveal.

Hello Waterface

You know what I've noticed about these new X-Teams so far? There's a big, glaring omission.

These X-Men need more Dazzler. God dammit.

Dazzler needs to join X-Factor. Teaming up with Siryn to shoot super high powered laser beams is awesome.

Gee willikers, who could the final reveal be?! It really is getting old now.

And Psylocke is on Cyclops' side huh? Wonder if she does end up being a double agent or the feminine form in WatXM is another AoA refugee.

Edit: Woops, WatXM should be Uncanny X-force...

TexiKen

Does Domino know how to use swords? Maybe it's her on the gold side.

Gank

I think Domino's behind Psylocke in the adjectiveless poster. Short hair and what seems like a gun in her left hand.

Faynor

I wonder who the other part of Magneto's cape will be

Actually, that looks more like

Karma.

Balefuego

So yeah, Psylocke was also revealed on X-Force today.

Guido and Siryn on X Factor yadda yadda

On WatXM, we get Beast (yay!!!) and Quire (Uggggggghh)

Macro9

I had a feeling that was Beast as the shadows started to go away. Hopefully Aaron can make me like Quire. Which could be hard.

Now I am curious as to who those three people are that were concealed by Strong Guy's shadow before this last reveal.

TexiKen

link to the gold side team

Psylocke you two-timer.

But with Quentin Quire appearing on top of the Hellfire Kids showing up, I've got no interest in WatXM anymore.

edit: Macro maybe it's the Cuckoos?

Balefuego

The one on the left looks like it's got a trench coat esque collar, so it could be Madrox

Tomanta

One is possibly Polaris, because she usually hangs out with Havok

Balefuego

Lorna is a good call, the one on the right look like it's wearing a hood which she does sometimes

Garlic Bread

Whoever is doing the Gold Team art is awful at perspective

Balefuego

That poster is Nick Bradshaw I think

mrmr

I just wanna know what Legion's gonna be up to.

Also, glad that Beast is back with Logan.
