Astonishing X-men 13 (Spoilers)

[LoganAlpha30X33]

Though we still don't know how "rival" they will be to Alex's team, as I doubt that they'll be direct rivals but more like just have a different idea and view as to how to fix the problem that Alex brought the team together for...also hope that the rivalry doesn't mess anything up between the two teams away from the mission, at least the big characters involved...

[Heroine Addict]

... Most likely. Most likely the New X-Kids who punked him. ...

Are you kidding? Jubilee and the New X-Men could probably take them down.

But yeah, let Lilmiss prima donna Kitty Litter, send that big lummoX Rockpile & his laughable crew. That way, Dazzler & Banshee ALONE, could BLAST 'em to hell & back...

... and grind 'em into gravel! ;p

[Heroine Addict]

lol, watch Kitty’s counter team be headed by Lorna and Bobby.

Yet MORE foreshadowing, from PhoeniX Rez?

[LoganAlpha30X33]

It could happen if he doesn't have a say in it, though I don't expect it to happen, unless Kitty suddenly thinks that the team that Alex gets around him can't be trusted or something...which would only make her look worse imho...

It really hasn't been that long since Inhumans vs X-Men. Remember how Havok is the sole reason the war ended with as few causalties as it did? That everyone would still be killing each other over to avenge a lie otherwise? And that when the the jug was up, he was the one and only X-Men that chose to nevertheless save Emma from death out of love for his older brother. Both reviewers and the comics seem to act like Havok has been a consistent villain ever since AXIS. That super isn't the case. Only Bunn in the last arc used him that way.

But it's IvX that's the outlier, tho, not the other way around with Bunn's run. I mean, how is Emma viewed by the X-Men & MU at large, lately?

He was fine in Bendis' run, he was helping Cyclops. He was standing right next to him in #600 having successfully unified humankind and mutantkind, up to and including any and all misgivings towards and on the part of criminals like Sabretooth, Mystique, Lady Mastermind and Juggernaut. They solved all the problems. That was AXISed Havok helping Cyclops do that after Cyclops was abandoned by everyone else.

lol
It's annoying how white this roster is. When Im 95% sure if the 'recruitment issue' in any XBook featured the gathering of only Black/Female/Gay etc mutants. Everyone would freak out, demanding every and exact reason it would be to have them.all on the team

It could happen...

I repeat, to our ESTEEMED Mr. Rosenberg:

... after Cyclops was abandoned by everyone else.

Well, there ya go. See Emma. Also, that was pre-SW. He wasn't in PhoeniX Rez, unlike just about every other X-person.

See Emma what? Emma went to Jean Grey Institute and made amends with Kitty Pryde and the rest of Storm's X-Men at this time. And it being pre-SW doesn't matter, it's AXIS that is blamed for being being a supervillain of a caliber beyond Mystique (who the X-Men are getting along fine with at he moment) And what's PhoeniX Rez?

I think they mean Pheonix Resurrection. The 5 part mini that brought Jean Grey back from the dead.

Since IvX. I'd say being associated with Cyke & her, lends itself to the idea of Havok being viewed as a terrorist, instead of not... by the MU, not readers.

And doesn't matter to who, pre/post-SW? Mystique is in Weapon X, are they sanctioned by Boss Kitty? X-Men Blue wasn't/isn't. PhoeniX Ressurection.

Idk, I get what you’re saying but I don’t think most x-fans, who BUY the books, would complain about a diverse roster, just online comic complainers/trolls, it’s just static and hot air they’re blowing. BTW, X-Men Red has a pretty diverse cast overall...

[DurararaFTW]

Again, Havok is the one that stopped Emma, Magneto and Storm's shared plans for Inhuman extermination that the three of them had been working on for months. No one thinks of Storm as being associated with Emma for having working with her for all that time. Nor even Magneto. Kitty is baised and willfully out of the loop on stuff like this, this is the wonderful quality that led to her being in charge. but the Avengers and Beast of all people you'd think would have a different perspective. You say X-Men Blue wasn't sanctioned yet being in opposition with them for one story arc united the whole suoerhero community against Havok.

And doesn't matter to who, pre/post-SW? Mystique is in Weapon X, are they sanctioned by Boss Kitty? X-Men Blue wasn't/isn't. PhoeniX Ressurection.

Mystique went to the school to attend Rictor's funeral. She's obviously welcome to visit like any other X-Men, unlike Havok.

ScreenRant.com, Marvel Comics Show How To Explain Mutants In The MCU

... "That's right," Beast responds approvingly, and begins to talk about "phages" before becoming distracted when he spots Havok in his class. Now, it's important to place this quote in context; Marvel is usually quite wary about introducing pseudo-science to explain away their superheroes. In fact, this is literally the first hint readers have had as to just how the mutant race was created in the Marvel Universe. It seems the Celestials may have introduced a bacterial phage into the human ecosystem, one that gradually rewrote human DNA and introduced the X-gene....

... Beast's lecture may set a precedent. In the comics, it seems the Celestials introduced a bacterial phage to trigger mutation among humans. The MCU could easily use that as a plot-point; although the Celestials are believed extinct in the MCU after the death of Ego in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2, it could instead be revealed that they've simply retreated from the rest of the cosmos. The Celestials' return could involve the triggering of the bacterial phage, leading to the introduction of mutants. ...
