Joanna Cargill/Frenzy Appreciation 2024

[Master of Sound]

About time Frenzy got an appreciation thread.

Former villain who was hated by many. Mostly due to her killing Sharon Friedlander and at the time perhaps one of the last likable Acolytes.

She was a hardliners and then.... AGE OF X happened, where she was a hero and the lover of Cyclops.

After Age of X was over, she was one of the few who kept her memories of that time/dimension.

She became part of the mutants living on Utpia and aided in several battles on the heroes sides.

During the Krakoa era the space program S.W.O.R.D. was reformed as a mutant organization by Abigail Brand, and Frenzy was recruited as their ambassador extraordinary for Earth.

And the she was elected for the first time to be an actual X-Men member, only to be killed by Nimrod.

Currently she is leader of the Dead X-Men team, who play a crucial role against the war against Orchis.

Today it was revealed Frenzy will remain a hero, as member of the new incarnation of X-Factor.

[Factor]

She's probably the one exciting thing about the X-factor announcement. But as a former villain and terrorist, I don't think she makes sense as part of the team. I'd rather have her join X-force or a new Marauders.

I loved her in Age of X, and after that in X-Men Legacy as an official X-Man. Her costume and hairstyle were hot as f…

Hope X-Factor will do good on her.

My queen! Although it’s been spotty I love when Jo gets attention and they’ve made some great strides with her character arc. Her being on this govt. sponsored team makes a lot of sense and while I don’t necessarily get excited for the rest of the cast I’m eager to see how Russell handles her. I hope Paibok shows up too.

Frenzy on the path the being the first mutant president. You heard it here first.

Frenzy's always been one of my quiet favorites. Out of all former villains, I'm so happy she's made such a great turnaround. I mirror the sentiment about her in Age of X, and the aftermath. Her as this conscientious former villain... they can really take her places, just like they took former side-villains like Scarlet Witch and Rogue and turned them into gold.

She's the only interesting announcement on X-Factor. I have low expectations, but I hope they do right by Frenzy.

Is it just me or is someone else irked by her most recent(Dead X-Men+)rendering?

[Master of Sound]

What being irked actually mean?

[berserkerclaw]

She was fine in Dead X-men excpt leading over Cannonball

If you want her to be a hero a goverment team like X-Factor makes more sense then teams like X-force or Maurauders

[Psycwave]

Random but I also kinda want Crystal to show up at some point. The work her and Jo did together was a high point of All New Inhumans and iI think it could be a nice story to compare Joanna's public perception to the stuff she's actually doing behind the scenes.



Plus, I want Frenzy to keep exploring her relationships beyond the X-men. Ready to have her start showing up all over the Marvel universe!
