Just a theory, but there have been plenty of winks and nods to Rogue being on an X-team. And Mark Pannicia has made comments and liked tweets in relation to the return of Multiple Man. Current writer of Rogue & Gambit, Kelly Thompson, has said on numerous occasions that she'd love to write a team book with Rogue- she's also been vocal about her love for Madrox. Normally this wouldn't mean anything, but she also recently replied to a Tumblr ask stating that she'd "There was a minute there where I thought Matthew Rosenberg and I were going to team up on something but it didn’t work out timing/schedule-wise."

Is it possible this book is the very same X-book Matthew Rosenburg is writing? I think so. Also, I know Warpath was mentioned, but can we be sure that Rosenburg wasn't referring to an appearance in Phoenix Ressurection? He did show up across a few issues so that may rule him out in regards to this potential team.
If I'm right, that'd be:
- Rogue
- Multiple Man
- Siryn
This doesn't really align with any prior X-teams, but it's a strong start.
You're not wrong. I'd love 616 Blink on this potential squad if we're to have a teleporter. I love Pixie, but I'm not sure she fits in here. Dust and/or Hellion would be wicked additions. Mercury too. Rockslide + Anole would be fun. And Shark Girl!

I don't think that Siryn would really have a reason to team with Jamie again, as PAD seems to be the only writer that wants them on the same team and the two on the same team seems to only end very badly for Terry, and Pannicia's tweets and such might not amount to anything at all...
Thanks to a tease from Mark Paniccia, we know Multiple Man is making a comeback. Matthew Rosenburg also retweeted the tweet (https://twitter.com/MarkPaniccia/sta...80748029227009)
Smells like X-FACTOR
I hope that Rosenberg will treat your favorite character better than he treated mine, in Phoenix Resurrection.
Jean became Phoenix the first time to save the X-Men, to save Scott. Then she saved the entire universe. Yeah, just that.
Then she saved the future (Here comes tomorrow)
Yet Rosenberg made her say that she doesn't understand the purpose of the Phoenix, and that she shouldn't have called the Phoenix for help the first time ? That's so hilarious to read back Rosenberg's love letter from PR#1 now. He didn't get Jean. He didn't get her at all after all. And no writer should be proud of denying one of the best X-Men saga ever.
I sincerely wish fans better luck with their favs. I hope Rosenberg won't butch them in any way.
I'd LOVE a new X-factor book. Rosenberg seems to really love the cast. His NM mini is basically a mix of NM and X-factor anyway.
I have mixed feelings about Matthew Rosenberg as a writer after the very disappointing Phoenix Resurrection - we'll see how he fares with the New Mutants mini.
Regarding Madrox possibly returning - I'm all for it obviously but I think the X-office should refrain from killing characters for a while if their only purpose is to bring them back in their own event mini. This has become one of the worst gimmicks now, it's always happened clearly but I feel Marvel has been overusing it as of late.
My biggest problem with Madrox dying is that it continues to trend of Marvel being weak with X-Men continuity.
There is a Madrox dupe who is a Prebysterian priest-reverend, married, with step sons. He was seen this decade, Hell Lord Guido left Rahne with Reverend Madrox after killing her son Tier.
It is impossible for that dupe to have died in Muir island from terrigen mist poisoning since he lives his own life. That dupe should have become Madrox prime if all other Madroxes died. I don't expect him to be seen or be a plot point in the resurrection of Madrox.
I also think it would be a great idea to treat the current crisis in Venezuela if they are going to use Wind Dancer again. Perhaps she was put in jail due to protests or something like that. But it may be too political (and not even in an American way).
This book is still not announced, right?
Wonder when we will hear more.

Saladin Ahmed talking eXiles. He was originally asked to pitch X-Factor, which he says "happened with a different writer along a different thread"
