I was just wondering if Manifold was a mutant or was just being trained by Gateway.

Fritzler posted:Colossus and Nightcrawler don't seem to have regular appearances in any book yet. Nightcrawler might in this upcoming Children of the Atom, and Colossus has an upcoming appearance in X-Force (I don't think its permanent but not sure). Jamie Madrox and Banshee I would put in the next highest tier of no appearances yet. I'm actually a little interested to see what Banshee thinks of this whole Moira reveal. I'm also a little surprised Hickman hasn't used Eden Fesi yet. He is a mutant teleporter created by Hickman used in both his Secret Warriors and Avengers runs. Colossus was announced as being part of the "team" for X-Force when the first wave of series was announced and was in the first issue but hasn't been seen since, because he was so messed up physically after what he went through getting mutants out of Russia, presumably.

Eden's been working with T'Challa over in Black Panther, so he's at least still around. I'd like to see Gentle back, speaking of Wakandan mutants.

Hickman has been posting B&W screens from various movies for the last few days so I have no idea what the next issue is going to be about.

I finally caught up on all these comics, and woooof Fallen Angels is some garbage. It only has one issue left, right? I may as well complete it, even though I didn’t bother reading #5. Are any of the other series ending, or are they all meant to be continuous?

It was Inglorious Basterds, 3 from Alien, at least 3 from The Counselor and then I'm not sure what the more recent ones are (I haven't actually seen The Counselor, I just remembered Javier Bardem had goofy hair in it).

A one-shot written by X-Plain The X-Men's Jay Edidin, no less! I've never been a huge Cyclops fan, but seeing Jay get the chance to write his absolute favorite rules a whole lot.

I'm reading a bunch of the SF/Utopia era comics and it's really turned me around on him, and he's been great in Hickman's X-Men. I also liked him in the Claremont books up until X Factor started up and he abandoned his wife and child.

That entire SF run was real fun. I think during the Phoenix Five saga they go fight Sinister and he fights back with Sinister Cows and a laser gun made of Sinister Cyclopses

Skwirl posted:He's shown up on Krakoa,hasn't he? Like in the background at some point? Also Jay's Cyclops one-shot is part of the Marvels Snapshots line and apparently takes place while Young Scott is still a kid in the orphanage, if that affects anyone's feelings about the eras of Cyclops. Not X-Men related, but I'm kind of curious about Evan Dorkin's Human Torch one-shot, which is supposed to take place at his high school reunion? I know I tied myself in knots upthread trying to parse out how old everyone on the X-Teams are meant to be, so it's almost on topic.

Edge & Christian posted:Broo is part of the Avengers support staff in Jason Aaron's Avengers, and appeared in the Black Panther and the Agents of Wakanda book. He's also in some group shots in House of X on Krakoa, yeah. Johnny Storm and Peter Parker should be the same age, Cyclops should be like a year older, the rest of the O5 should be the same age as Cyclops or slightly younger, of course with the current resurrection protocol physically most of the X-Men are probably in their mid to late twenties, outside the X-Men, Johnny has probably spent the most time either time displaced or in another dimension where time flows differently and all of the big heroes have died and come back to life at least once and the current Marvel universe was created by a 10 year old boy using reality warping powers he didn't really understand, magnified by an insane former super villain's reality warping powers. Also, they're never gonna let Peter Parker turn 30, so it'd make sense for Johnny Storm's 10 year reunion to be coming up, since they should be the same age. It gets more confusing when you deal with characters that are older or younger than Spider-Man, since clearly time has passed since he put on the suit, but is Reed Richards or Tony Stark a decade or so older than when they first appeared.

Not-quite-thirty Scott Summers fucks with my brain in uncomfortable ways, and not just because it means I'm getting to be older than him. The amount of stuff the O5 have seen, I feel like they've gotta be pushing 40 at this point at the very least.

Also you keep getting comics written by older people like the Rodney Barnes Falcon book where the (canonically sixteen year old) Patriot is trying to turn (the presumably early 30s) Falcon onto rap music acts from 25-30 years ago, while the Millennial aged Falcon keeps grousing about how the music he came up on was all Motown and the Chi-Lites, probably because the author of the book is in his 50s. Which further muddies everything, kind of like how Bendis wrote the Original Five X-Men traveling to the present from like 1965, not 2004.

One bit of head cannon I like, but haven't thought about too closely is the reason when Spider-Man first put on his costume they had 1960s technology and now, a decade later they have 2020 technology is that behind the scenes people like Stark and Richard's were actually pushing technology further and faster than it developed in the real world.

So does that mean that all current Marvel comics take place in the early 1970s, or was there a behind the scenes conspiracy that meant the microchip and civil rights weren't invented until 2010?

Yea I have head ages for everyone and Scott is very clearly 39 and not handling turning 40 well. Rarely do they straight up say ages, like in Scarlet Witch's solo comic from a few years ago she states she's 27. I'm pretty pumped for FF/Xmen team up book. I'm not sure why,

I think Hickman said he believes Scott is in his mid thirties and his editor thinks Scott is in his late twenties. The thing is, I don't think Tony Stark is supposed to be older than forty and Scott is definitely younger than Tony Stark (also more mature, but so's Mile Morales)

When Waid moved all of the Korean/Vietnam vet characters (including, I'm assuming, Xavier) from those real-world conflicts to a pretty loving racist fake Southeast Asian War, I thought Marvel's moving timeline thing kind of broke. A far easier thing to do is to keep all Marvel stories taking place nebulously in the mid-70s to late-80s, with technology and culture moving forward similar to the way Skwirl mentioned. Instead of time moving forward, time standing still and everything else moving forward. I also very much liked that the rumors from a few years ago that the FF and X-Men were going to be relaunched as books in the 60s, with the Avengers and other books taking place in modern times. I would have bought the gently caress out of those books.

I'm down to just X-Men, X-Force and Marauders, and stopped reading for a while then tried to catch up and maybe did it in the wrong order or something. Can someone explain why sometimes Pyro is in a wheelchair all sad and sometimes he's jumping around with a big black tattoo on his face? Just ordered some Wolverine #1 variants because I want to put them up on my comic display. I liked the comic based on the radio play(podcast?) and it's got the same writer so I hope it's decent.

So..the thing that happened in Marauders #6 this week: Kitty can't be brought back to life, supposedly, and the island wouldn't let her in, so...are we picking up on that whole "one of the X-Men isn't a mutant/the X-Men have a double agent" thing?

Well Shaw's betting on Kitty being unable to use gates means she also cant be brought back to life, which is a pretty big leap of logic given how one's entirely Krakoan biotech, and the other is purely mutant abilities. Of course though, now's the perfect time for IMPERIUS REX!

I don't remember the exact way that mutants are brought back, but I thought it was just the 5's powers, starting with Goldballs' balls. I didn't think there was any Krakoa involved.
