Alex Summers: Havok Appreciation 2024 Cry Havok 4 the Nexus being Goblin Prince

An appreciation thread for the cosmic radiation absorbing nexus of reality former leader of X-men, Avengers, X-Factor, Brotherhood of Mutants, and the Six squads. Loved a lot of his looks, not the biggest fan of the OG headgear, but I like the blue and yellow X-Factor look, or the black suit with the red gauntlets or the Loracca silver and black look. My favorite male mutant since the Outback era. I am really enjoying his relationship with Maddy since Outback Era/Inferno. I am hoping whatever book Alex lands on next they address that he has two kids in alternate realities, Scottie with Maddy in Mutant X universe and Katie who has the Wasp Janet Van Dyne as her mother. They also need to resolve the mental issues from previous bad incarnations and the zombiefication in Dark X-men.

How many nexus of reality does that make for the X-Men now?

Hey Havok-fam. Can y'all tell me some of your favorite Havok arcs / portrayals?

They need to heal Alex and get him away from Maddy.

OG headgear all the way! Accept no substitutes!

Also, his black costume is non-reflective -- absolute blackness. Finally, the 'target' symbol is a gauge of his power -- should always display a perfect circle from all angles.

His appearance in Marvel Team-Up is great. It had me going for a bit when Lorna got blasted off a cliff at Muir Island. It's a shame, though, that Polaris wasn't the featured character in the second story. Instead we just got Thor.

[center]Hopefully this counts, but I'll always remember the time when Alex talked Maddy down from making a rash decision...

Outback era

All of the Vulcan/Shi'ar/War of Kings series in space

The Planet X/Avenge the Earth arc in Uncanny Avengers

Hellions -- though the broke-brain Havok narrative, which seems to now be replaced by stabbed-in-the-neck zombie Havok, gets to be a drag

Seems like he should have a role in the Fall/Rise comics, but Gillen doesn't seem interested in the character

Outback era Claremont made magic between Alex and Maddy
Inferno - I felt Alex when he blasted Scott for abandoning Maddy the Goblin Prince
War of Kings Alex shines when out of Scott's shadow
Mutant X - Alex trives when out of Scott's shadow
Hellions didn't love broke brain Alex but that made his drive to save Maddy even more moving (it needs to end now)
I liked the Head of the Brotherhood (those it was deep cover I always enjoy the idea of Alex not just following Scott's lead)

Honorable mention Peter David's X-Factor, Larocca's X-men team where Alex was the leader, don't like zombie Alex in Dark X-men but at least he was in a book and with Maddy. Uncanny Avengers was alright

Thanks for posting that. I always felt Alex got the short end of the stick in the Doc Samson therapy issue but Peter David gave Alex good moments there. I just remember how powerful the Pietro and Lorna sessions were and being jealous of that; they gave me a new perspective on both of them

I'm scared to look. Is Alex still being treated like a pathetic loser?

I miss X-Factor Alex

I am also pro-headgear but found the artistic expressive portrayal of them as energy beams when Alex is powered up and projecting as seen in HAVOK & WOLVERINE:MELTDOWN by Jon J Muth...
