I mean, for months they sure did put a whole lot of relevance on the threat he posed to Orchis given that he was a direct target of Nimrod's and then his entire solo was about Orchis considering him...

I mean, the point of him being a double agent or working to sabotage Orchis doesn't need any justification for existing beyond just....it would be a plot twist.

Since when are plot twists or there...

And just to be clear, I honestly don't think he's essential to the end of all this and how stuff plays out and we know he definitely will be coming back. I would tooootally be down for them to just,...

In the vein of my "I'm fine with Bobby not showing up the rest of this mess and would rather he get a big story about where he's been and what he's been up to since his solo in the next era"...

Whoops, wrong thread.

Touché. And other things adding up to ten characters worth of post content.

(Me? Posting something that's too SHORT? There really is a first time for everything).

Fair enough. I think Thorne's response in the X-Force thread heavily suggests against that though. If Cable did win the Tournament, having Apocalypse's actual heir be on the team wouldn't really fit...

I mean, the reveal that Delroy isn't actively working undercover with T'Challa or the other Avengers doesn't mean that he couldn't have accepted the position in Orchis fully intending to just...

Yeah, like. The idea that actually, the Five DON'T need regular or direct access to Sinister's genetic database to bring people back is probably the single element of the entire Krakoan era you LEAST...

Funny, these solicits actually gave me a totally different thought.....we know Thorne originally pitched this X-Force idea back in 2020, right? I'm wondering if it was picked now because Forge...

He did an Exiles reboot awhile back. I dont really know how well or not it was received in general, but I really enjoyed it and thought he did a good job of balancing dynamics and focus, esp with...

I mean, its a pretty significant factor in the current Sabretooth War storyline so I would be extremely surprised if it was forgotten by the writer using them two months from now.

I could see it either way, I'm just defaulting to X-Factor because it would be my preference. I'd rather have Ahmed on a team book than a solo is all, lol.

Also, he was rather notably killed by Isca in X-Men Red.

I would not be surprised if the upcoming Blood Hunt one-shots (Kwannon, Magik, etc) were picked with an eye towards using them as test drives, see how viable they are for future solo projects.

Alternatively, if it is the Tank from Ironheart, from what I recall he was a scientist interested in space/time and dimensional displacement so I always read him as his mutant power was the...

I actually think Saladin Ahmed might be the writer on X-Factor. If Mystique and Destiny are in that cast, him weighing in on Gail's pitch for Kurt or having his own hand in pitching Kurt's direction...

I mean, sometimes cameos/Easter Eggs and background stuff does make a difference. Like I think it was a mistake to show Exodus in Genosha if they weren't going to let him matter in the battle at all....

It is the true first step to making a better world.

Although this might be spoiler territory, is the series mostly going to be high concept sci-fi adventures, or will magic/mysticism play a part in whatever fixing Forge feels the world needs? While it...

The funniest part about all this is I think that actually, Solem allowing Gideon to buy him off with a bribe that outbids whatever Roberto already paid him would absolutely be in character.

He's in Foxe & Orlando's extended X-Men Unlimited arc, along with Dani, Betsy, Rictor, Shatterstar, Layla, Jamie, Wiz Kid and Trinary. I know that's not considered one of the main books but tbh I...

But the 'protect the world, not just Krakoa' thing they did for the first couple years before the whole line segued into Fall of X was....bad then? And....not promoting/inclusive of peaceful...

Tell that to every mutant targeted by Orchis, regardless of whether they're Krakoan or not, or what countries and ethnicities they identify as.

Before it mutated at the VERY end of its existence,...

You cited an alternate future that was prevented from coming to pass by mutants themselves to argue that see, humans were right about Krakoans all being bad and supremacists after all, on account of...
