Just Imagine... If Solf J. Kimblee was an X-Men enemy

[The Dying Detective]

In Fullmetal Alchemist there are a bunch of amazing well characterised characters but one of the most interesting characters is Solf J. Kimblee the Crimson Lotus Alchemist whose power lies in creating imbalances in objects to create powerful explosions. An amoral psychopath who despite being nihilistic he thrives on living on the edge and the pleasure he gets from sound of explosions and suffering in general. But despite being crazy he is surprisingly the most sane man in the room as he is an intelligent philosopher who knows of the inherent brutal nature of humanity and the world and has no tolerance for anyone being inconsistent with their philosophies and in fact he is the character who is most consistent his own brand of views in life which he is aware differs from societies' standards nevertheless he argues his points well enough to hide any heresy on his part. As he is the very personification of the aforementioned brutality himself he understands it and uses it well to argue his points exposing the hypocrisy and inherent impracticality of the morals behind any of the main characters of Fullmetal Alchemist including the villain faction which he sides with despite having no stakes in the conflict and simply wishes to see which side would emerge victorious. In fact his role in driving the plot is minimal but at best Kimblee is a tool for balancing the narrative and laying the flaws of both hero and villain bare before the audience. Can you imagine what would happen if he was a X-Men villain wouldn't it be great to see him tear apart Xavier's dream of peaceful cooperation and to hear him laugh in his face when he uncovers that Xavier is actually the most inconsistent with his own brand of philosophy. Or how about when Cyclops goes over the edge? Or maybe the Purifier's own desire to kill mutants while at the same time they are willing to use them as weapons in their war and have him berate them for heresy? Or in fight Logan might be out matched as he has to deal with a man who can explode things with a touch. What do you think would Kimblee make a great X-Men villain?

[The Dying Detective]

Okay here's my take considering the type of guy he is I would wager that Kimblee would side with the Purifiers as usual his motive is to see whether the outcome would be in the favour of the humans or the mutants. It will be a reimagined version of the Purifier assault on the Xavier Institute during New X-Men Academy X and during the fight Kimblee's main opponent is Wolverine and during the fight Kimblee does his best to use his explosions to keep Logan off balance as he discovers that trying to blow him up will not kill him. How should Logan respond in the face of a man who takes such great joy in the sound of pain and suffering. Eventually the fight ends and Kimblee is captured and held to be interrogated by Emma Frost. She tries to use mind reading but Kimblee reveals that he actually knows nothing and is just there to see which side would win. While there he berate Emma for her contradictory philosophy of selecting children to fight while wanting to protect them deeming them both neither compatible nor sensible for war as like any battle they will need all the troops they can or risk losing the fight. And uses the Purifier attack as a way to dismiss her methods as views on the matter as ineffective and impractical.
