X-Men: Legacy #226 Spoilers

Utopia • Tie-In

Spoilers: Pixie teleports Rogue, Gambit and Danger into San Francisco when the riots are still going on. Cyclops is not pleased to see Gambit and Danger with Rogue, but he needs all the help he can get. Scott asks Rogue to help find some of their students caught in the middle of the confusion, therefore Rogue, Gambit and Danger go to the streets. Meanwhile, Trance is on the run with Dragoness, trying to carry a hurt Toad, while H.A.M.M.E.R. soldiers are after them. They take care of Dragoness, and when Trance tries to use her astral form, they shock her. Gambit appears and comes to her rescue. As a side effect of the shocking, Trance seems to be stuck in her astral form. The X-Men then send Ariel to teleport her to their HQ. In the meantime, Rogue is looking for Indra. She finds several unconscious H.A.M.M.E.R. soldiers and touches one of them, finding out that Indra did that to them. Moonstone shows up wanting to arrest Rogue and easily getting the upper hand. Rogue thus tricks Moonstone and escapes. Later, Gambit tries to control Avalanche and Erg, who are rioting with other pro-mutant people. Ares arrives and attacks Avalanche. Gambit then takes on the God of War and manages to hold his own against him. After a while, Danger and Rogue come to aid Gambit. Rogue touches Ares and get his powers. She defeats quite a few soldiers with ease. Rogue, Gambit and Danger steal a H.A.M.M.E.R. tank at the same time Mindee comes in informing that Trance is still missing and never made it home. Rogue says they'll find her.

Notes: Those spoilers were provided by Hi-Fi over at the CBR forums. This issue takes place during the riots that break out during Dark Avengers/Ucanny X-Men: Utopia #1 and before the formation of the Dark X-Men team during Uncanny X-Men #513. Psylocke only shows up on that page that we've already seen, but Carey said he is definitely going to sneak her in again soon. :D

It sounds good! And at least Betsy got a small cameo in it, and with Kurt (I know some Psylocke fans like the idea of a "BURTSY" couple or something like that, so they must be very happy now...).

Let's hope she also cameos in the next issue, even if she just appears in the end with the other X-Men to say "Good work, Rogue", or something like that. And if she appears wearing her new costume by Dodson, that's even better!

wow that issue sounded good, i like how they're involving the unused x-students now, before they only used the new x-men students, but now it seems they're finally getting their chance to shine lol

BTW, now that Rogue has Ares's powers, I hope she gets a rematch against Moonstone and kicks her ass!

Or maybe Betsy could be the one fighting Moonstone to avenge her friend...

Carey seems to like Psylocke, which is good :) It may signify that Psylocke will appear in both Legacy and Uncanny in the future.
