New Mutants #14 Spoilers & Art


Spoilers: The issue starts with Xavier entering Legion's mind. Xavier asks Legion to join him outside for a moment. Legion is under the impression that is isn't supposed to leave his "room". Xavier reassures Legion that he is not a prisoner on Utopia and that it's okay. Legion asks why they need him. Xavier tells him he needs all the dangerous personas that live in his psyche. Outside Utopia Cyclops rallys all the remaining mutants and asks them to step up and fight for the survival of mutant kind and he tells them that they're all X-Men that day. Rogue finds Hope crying. Rogue asks if Cable taught her not to cry, Hope tells her that he didn't mind when she cried, but to cry later. Hope tells Rogue she won't stand around and let people die on her behalf and asks Rogue to join her on the battlefield. The X-Men can barely fend off the Nimrods and they realize they're coming faster and faster. Colossus' arm is wounded by one of the Nimrods and he tells Cyclops they need more help. In the future X-Force locates and infiltrates the Master Molds location. Back in the past the Nimrods are ready to destroy Colossus as Legion and Xavier arrive in time to save him. Legion is easily able to destroy groups of Nimrods at once. At that moment Cyclops finally arrives with a group of X-Men. (Psylocke included) In the future X-Force continues their mission they realize that there are two Master Molds and only one is producing Nimrods. Suddenly though the second Master Mold becomes active, Wolverine tells them they have to worry about both now. Back on Utopia a group of mutants (Scalphunter, Random, Sack) decide to join and help fight the Nimrods. Toad tells them not go because the Nimrods are no longer attacking Utopia. Suddenly a group of Nimrods appear and destroy Sack. In Utopia's infirmary the security alarm goes off Beast decides to leave and fight, Magneto in a weak state gets up and tells him to watch the other wounded and he will see to their enemies.

Notes: Psylocke appears in only one page and has no dialogue.

Yay Legion / Magneto.

SC needs to end now.

ACT 1 was amazing. But Act 2 and 3 (so far) have been underwhelming!

I hope Mei Melancon gets to be Psylocke again!

Forget it, Mei sucked as a wimpy Psylocke. And it wasn't just Ratner's stupid idea to make her an urban street punk with no trace of British roots or Japanese featured. She looked like she could be roughed up so easily. No fighting skills + just okay-looking/so-so body + forgettable genericness EQUALS: FAIL.

Sorry Ms. Melancon.

My guess is that Ratner took his cue to combine characters from Singer, who obviously modelled his Deathstrike on Psylocke's features. The parted hair and general stern sexiness that he imbued Kelly Hu with was an amalgam. Hence, this ruins the chance for Kelly Hu as Psylocke. Bummer.

It's looking like I was right about Marvel putting Emma Frost in MVC3 over Psylocke. But it could be a fake out I hope.

The long haired heels silhouette? its believed to be Trish from DMC someone overlayed a picture and the arm band lined up someone has done the same for Frank West too but whomever it is its definitely not Emma Frost as this silhouette appears on the Capcom logo not the Marvel logo. Sorry >__< Trish is a waste of a slot imo

Having now seen MVC3 in action i am desperate to get Betsy in even though i think she wont. A possible leak did say Frost and X-23 were in.

Seth Killian said X-men fans wont be dissapointed, im guessing Storm Juggernaut and Magneto tho...

I would have liked Sheva from RE5 in her tribal oufit i think shes awesome, i heard she hasnt made the cut either tho :(

It's really a shame if Psylocke is not in the game. And I'm not saying it just because she is one of my biggest favorites. She actually perfect character for a fighting game. She has actual legit fighting skills and her TK/TP combo of powers make very logical and fitting special moves (as seen in previous games).

X-23 makes sense because she and Wolverine would make perfect counterparts for Ryu and Sakura.

I am so sick and tired of Psylocke using standard katanas... What happened with her TK katana? Again, writers with no consitancy!

Anonymous said...

I like this picture of her. Here's the way I see it:

1) I much prefer to see her using real katanas than to be waving her psychic knife around all the time like gogo stick(s) the way Land used to make her do.

2) I am waiting for her to actually USE her psychic knife. Back in 90s era, it seemed so deadly. The only time she's used it recently that I can think of is against Proteus. She needs to do some wicked damage!

3) I'd actually rather see her use her bare hands and legs than use props she doesn't need. She's got both TK and TP, and more than that wicked fighting skills that are TK enhanced. So if they need to see her actually have some fighting capability against machines and stuff, she just needs her own body to destroy. No stage props necessary.

Still waiting for her to psychic knife somebody and watch them writhe around in agony. Hasn't happened in a long time other than against Proteus controlled Paige et al.

that's dumb. Psylocke (or what the version of her was in X-men 3) got 2 lines of dialogue. You can't say she was wimpy because of that. I think they made a terrible choice in the Street punk look but the actress May Melancon who played her was hot when you see other pictures. At least she wasn't cheesy face like a lot of Asian women are portrayed in films.

Mei was a great choice for Psylocke im just annoyed they didnt use her at all!

I didn't say she was wimpy because of her lines. I said she was wimpy, period. It just doesn't suit her. So just so it's clear to you - I had no problem with her lines, just HER. So do not put words in my mouth.

She's hot in other pictures, but too bad she didn't look it in the movie. Also, she looked like if the wind blew on her she would get swept away.

ALSO - her voice does not suit Psylocke. It has a hint of valley girl.

I'm SOOOO glad they never actually called her 'Psylocke' and also she only used the stupid shadow power and no telepathy, so if they ever did use Psylocke they could gloss over that stupid cameo.

I would LOVE for them to flesh out the whole Betsy story or at least from the time she received her cybernetic eyes and explain the transition into the asian body through the seige perlious. Have a british actress or just a white actress using the brittish accent and being mildly reserved with the butterfly..then bring that hardcore sex kitten that she has become but i think they should use an asian actress using an english accent??? Am i alone here? but she needs to be incredibly sexy not flat chested or any thing and she HAS TO HAVE HER TRADEMARK UNIFORM u cant half step with Betsy she is a CLASSIC character!!!

According to this Link Mei Melancon will be at Comic con. So if you are there tell me if you think she'd make a good Psylocke ; ( I have to work so I can't be there.
