    I wonder what characters are worth bringing back? I mean, there's Thunderbird, Banshee, and, uh...?

    I'm a Synch fanboy, but I can't see him as a worthy villain from a story perspective. Most of the people that would care are either dead or missing (see my post on the previous page). Although, it looks like Emplate is coming back (yay!). Who else is there?

    Caliban is coming back in Necrosha, and everybody who died in Genosha. Thunderbird's gave was robbed, so I'd guess we can expect him.

    Oh right like his little crew of dudes he brought back to life. Huh.

    At least they're not going for the straight up zombie stylings of blackest night, I guess.

    Blah. Zombies.

    She was one of the first of the New X-Men to go down. She took a sniper bullet through the head. I believe she had some sort of calming aura power or something.

    Pheromone powers so she could influence others emotions.

    Quick question.

    I'm having a discussion with someone who is saying that Rogue was in her late 20s/early 30s when she joined the X-Men. I'm saying teenager. Can anyone back me up on this with some source?

    well, i don't have an exact source, but i would say at a guess she was in her late teens or early twenties. she joined up with the brotherhood pretty early on, between probably twelve and fourteen since she joined mystique shortly after her powers activated. she was with them long enough to battle the avengers and x-men and start to go a little crazy from all the personalities before trying to join the x-men.

    I know it was her first mission with the Brotherhood that she took Ms. Marvel's powers and shortly after she went to the X-Men to learn to control them. My guess is 15 or 16. Certainly no where near her late 20s.

    I was skimming through the newly released Dark Reign The List: Avengers preview coming out this Thursday and there are some major league spoilers on the ending to Utopia in it. Be warned, these are big spoilers...
    So apparently Osborn wins in the end. Asteroid M, or whatever it is, becomes a mutant prison camp and Wolverine is on it. My guess is that the X-men start winning the fight and Osborn finally sends the Sentry in, and it WORKS. Now there are some instances where Sentry hasn't gone nuts during a crucial moment but it looks like Osborn might have succeeded "taming" the Sentry.

    Then again - we're getting the preview from Osborne's perspective. I think it's going to be a bit more complicated than that.

    December will see X-Men: Pixie Strikes Back by Kathryn Immonen, artist Sara Pichelli, and covers by Stuart Immonen. “It’s the girls like we’ve never seen them and certainly like they’ve never seen themselves,” teased Kathryn.

    Meanwhile, I'm going to sit over here in my corner and read Claremont write Kitty fucking Pryde.

    Warren Ellis wrote a really good Kitty Pryde in Excalibur. In fact his Excalibur run is really underrated. " 'still 'ate yoo."

    Pixie and Kitty Pryde should have a duo book.

    It can be called Attack of the Mary Sues.

    It would be all about Kitty teaching Pixie how to be practically perfect in every way.

    I'm not sure I'd call them Mary Sues, per se. They're definitely the victims of being pet characters though.

    Kitty only because Whedon had a super crush on her and made her the fixer for his Astonishing run. Before then she was fine.

    I get the feeling Kitty will stay gone until Whedon comes back to make a Kitty Pryde mini or arc bringing her back.

    Even before Whedon, she was a genius computer hacker language master professional dancer who got master ninja powers from demonic possession.

    Edit: I mean, Whedon definitely ramped it up even more, because that's what Whedon does, but she was pretty horrible about it way before he showed up.

    Well, an issue only comes out every 4 or 5 months, so you pretty much need to read it as a trade, but the first arc was really good and had beautiful art.
