Her presence there was an interesting choice, as she was neither a mutant nor a villain.<br /><br />Back to nowadays, tomorrow Marvel will release Master of Kung-Fu #3 - and, if I remember correctly, when a reader asked the writer if Psylocke would appear there, he teased that it could happen in issue #3. I guess she may be one of the ninjas working for Red Sai (a.k.a. Elektra), alongside Nightcrawler. If she's there, hopefully her participation will be bigger than taking a punch to the face (or a sword to the chest) in one panel and remaining unconscious or dead for the rest of the battle...FSakerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10462635398072983026noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5596031626753539266.post-75185223232285239882015-07-06T01:50:07.345-03:002015-07-06T01:50:07.345-03:00Fall of The Mutants is one of Claremont's and ...Fall of The Mutants is one of Claremont's and the X-Men's best stories. I always bear the end whrn the X-Men (including Madelyne who gave that really sad goodbye to Scott and Nathan Christoper) sacrifice themselves to save all of reality as the world watches live and that news cameraman gives them the most awesome eulogy. I even feel Raven's pain when she attacks Forge and calls him a murderer. <br /><br />Ah.... Freedom Force. You all recall when the second Spider-Woman (not Jessica Drew) was part of that team?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15142058367371770412noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5596031626753539266.post-80005153112924035822015-07-05T10:21:32.626-03:002015-07-05T10:21:32.626-03:00Right, I just read the X-Books forums and his answ...Right, I just read the X-Books forums and his answer there does seem to indicate that the Uncanny X-Men won't be wearing the iconic uniforms (and that there will be at least one more member to the team). Thanks for the indication! And he was really nice going there to give some little extra details to the readers.<br /><br />And yes, Betsy gave the Brotherhood a huge beatdown at least once, during the Fall of the Mutants event, right? If I remember correctly, only Crimson Commando and later Spiral (who back then was her almost-unbeatable nemesis) managed to subdue her (one thing I liked about Humphries's UXF run is that Psylocke finally managed to kick Spiral's ass in it). I guess Mystique may be madder at Magneto for attacking her "mutant nation" and severely injuring her, though.<br /><br />(by the way, it's funny to see how Mystique is always portrayed as Magneto's right hand in films, animations and videogames, when in comic books they never worked together - well, except for the AXIS event)FSakerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10462635398072983026noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5596031626753539266.post-78067355639622484432015-07-05T01:33:34.829-03:002015-07-05T01:33:34.829-03:00Bunn answered us on CBR forums.

And did he mention somewhere that there will be other members in the team? That would be nice.<br /><br />@JJfroud, Fantomex wasn't dead. Well, the original Fantomex died in Remender's UXF, but by the end of those series his three brains were inserted in cloned bodies, generating nu-Fantomex, Cluster (a.k.a. "Fantomlady") and Weapon XIII (a.k.a. Evil Fantomex). Nu-Fantomex then joined Cable's X-Force, got crazy and evil, then Betsy stabbed him in the head with the psi-knife (unless if by "dead", you mean him dying alongside most people on Earth in the beginning of Secret Wars - but in this case, Psylocke, Magneto et al are just as "dead" as he is).<br /><br />I wonder if this Fantomex is nu-Fantomex, Weapon XIII (he would fit perfectly in a team with Sabretooth and Mystique) or if the three brains were placed back into a single body (which would be my favorite choice; I loved old Fantomex and his romance with Betsy). I also wonder what made Psylocke choose to join this team instead of Storm's, and how Ororo, Kurt and Piotr will react when they see her with this team. And it will be interesting to find out why Magneto will accept to team up with Mystique, considering how he was outraged with the things she was doing in Madripoor not long ago...FSakerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10462635398072983026noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5596031626753539266.post-12198812573960904472015-07-04T17:25:21.877-03:002015-07-04T17:25:21.877-03:00I would FLOVE it if Cypher, Moonstar, Northstar an...I would FLOVE it if Cypher, Moonstar, Northstar and Frenzy are the yet-to-be-announced members!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15142058367371770412noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5596031626753539266.post-7423913891361460922015-07-04T06:23:29.387-03:002015-07-04T06:23:29.387-03:00I read those comments as that they're definite...I read those comments as that they're definitely not wearing those costumes and Greg land only drew them for that promo image. I'm pretty sure that's what he's implying.<br /><br />Also, I love how he mentioned Betsy and Sabretooths connection. Psylocke doesn't have much personal history with Mystique so I'm excited to see how they interact. Plus, I wonder how Fantomez is still alive? Maybe he was restored to reality from Secret Wars? Either way, after the last x-force volume, Bunn is going to have to do a lot redeem his character! <br /><br />And I wonder who the other members of the roster are going to be...JJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07945674492770387654noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5596031626753539266.post-49382042774869817442015-07-04T02:25:14.730-03:002015-07-04T02:25:14.730-03:00He didn't confirm or deny they're wearing ...He didn't confirm or deny they're wearing the old outfits lol<br /><br />To me this means... either Land is too lazy to design new looks and he doesn't want to say it or they're still deciding on whether or not to give them new looks.<br /><br />It's a shame for Psylocke definitely, but I also really liked Magneto's current look. It's too bad he's going back to that awful pink/purple combination. randybearhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03269657993664879351noreply@blogger.com
