Age of X-Man: The X-Tremists #3 Spoilers


Spoilers: Betsy approaches Blob sensually, but engages no further when he replies that it hurts. The next day, everything is business as usual at Department X’s office. A prisoner is taken in, and Betsy cleans up his mind. Blob then gets an anonymous call about rebel kids throwing a party at an abandoned building. While Blob warns the others, Moneta storms in and accuses Psylocke of being part of the resistance because she found out there was no trace of mind-wipe in the prisoner brought in earlier. Betsy explains the prisoner needed to rest after the wipe to confirm the procedure was successful. Blob is fed with Moneta’s behavior and orders her to take the rest of the day off. She says she’ll prove there’s a resistance movement. Betsy swears she mind-wiped the prisoner, and her co-workers vouch for her. Jubilee takes the chance to address Nezumi and how they’ll have to deal with her situation sooner or later. Later that night, Betsy visits Blob at his house, and the two of them begin a sort of book club. Betsy opens up to Blob and talks about personal feelings, like self-loathing and body image, and her eating disorder. Blob assures her she’s beautiful and the heart of the team. Days later, Department X investigate the abandoned building and come across kids getting together. Moneta reveals she was the one who phoned in the tip to prove the resistance is real. Department X soon find out that the kids are untrained and unarmed and committed no crime whatsoever. Northstar accuses Moneta of leading them into a trap. The team has to come to terms with the fact they're seen as monsters. Blob has no choice but to fire her. Betsy thanks Blob.

Moneta is even more of a jerk than she looked like in past issues. Where did this vile girl come from?

And I never, EVER thought I'd say this, but... I'm liking Blob. I won't complain at all if he manages to carry his new personality traits over to the main universe when this crossover is over.

(that is, assuming there will be a main universe when this crossover is over, considering House of X and Powers of X look like another alternate universe(s)...)

Xtremists has been a slow burn but I like it and I dunno why but I went from hating the art to enjoying it now lol

I cant wait to see the inevitable moment Moneta discovered Blob and Psylockes rendezvous
