What MU non-X villain should the X-Men face soon?

[Master of Sound]

Technet, the Multidimensional Mercenaries!

Art imitates life.

It was snarkily said in the GURPS rules that the 'etiquette' skill had the counter-intuitive role of being used also to provoke a rival so subtly as to cause them to violently overreact in a situation where doing so could get them killed, while creating the illusion that you are blameless and 'the victim' of the person you provoked. (Provoking them in such a way as to cause them to draw steel on you in the presence of a superior, causing *them* to be punished for aggressive behavior, for example.)

I mean... I've seen people do that IRL. Goading others into losing their cool.

Korvac - he tries to highjack the powers of a reality warpers inorder to bring about his idea of universal Utopia.
Hydra - the X-Men learn about their baby stealing program. (In Spider-woman it's been revealed that Hydra adducts super-powered children, brainwashs them and erase all trace of their existence from the world. Naturally mutant kids would be a prime target for this program.

Could the project that changed the Inferno babies be part of Hydra?

Sometimes, the X-Men fight non-X villains, like in the past they fought against the Ani-Men, Serpent Squad, Batroc and more.

wouldn’t be mad if you redid all those polls you use to do. the results will prob be different in 2024

No that was pure US military, with possible connections to Weapon Plus or Weapon X.

Wouldn't necessarily stop somebody involved in that project from bringing its resources and connections to HYDRA, though. Beyond that, HYDRA stealing the young children of superpowered individuals to repurpose them into agents would be something I'd also expect to see cross into X-Men, with HYDRA targeting mutant children for that program.

Grim Reaper - he hated mutants, A.I. and black people. Which is weird cause he used to date Nekra (a African, albino mutant) and his best friend is Man-Ape. Nekra used magic to resurrect him as a serial killer zombie (he has kill people to stay alive).

The High Evolutionary has had dealings with the X-Men before, if I recall right. Would be interesting to see him go up against Sinister.

Yeah, they've already had an encounter. Here's proof...

"Who would you like the new teams to fight against who are not usual X-villains?"

Granted, the Technet are firmly in the X-verse via multiple appearances with CAPTAIN BRITAIN AND EXCALIBUR, the poll doesn't indicate that the villain has to be someone the X-MEN have NEVER dealt with before.

The Beyond Corp.
They should do a meta story revealing how Mojo conspired with the Beyonders to keep the iconic X-Men alive by sacrificing young mutants.

Oh, thanks for sharing. I'd even throw in the Jackal, who did raid Sinister's labs and had something of a rivalry with the High Evolutionary in his backstory, as well as arguably invented a more flawed precursor to the Krakoan Resurrection Protocols, which he could sell to humanity to give them a form of "immortality" in competition with mutants and perhaps gain a form of amnesty for his past heinousness.

It would be great commentary on or a great allegory for how the Academy X generation and other potentially great younger generations of mutant heroes got shafted by Marvel editorial.

You know... had another think and... give Alistair Smythe a pile of "junk" Sentinels and time to work.

Yeah... Spider-man villain whose made gimmick is building combat robots.

I like the idea of Grim Reaper becoming some sort of outraged avatar of death (in his own mind, the actual Death could give a hoot about his nonsense...) out to kill mutants for the 'crime' of resurrection and 'cheating death' (specifically targeting mutants who had been resurrected, but with extra animus towards the Five themselves). Nekra, obviously, would be the tip of the spear fighting back against him. Ex-fight!

Grim Reaper did just appear in the current Cable series, so we can tick that box.
