Killer Bee Challenge 1: Replace Magneto

[CRaymond]

The X-men don't need a villain they need a secondary book about mutants who actively oppose the dream.

TL;DR= When you say New Magneto... What torch is this "bad guy" supposed to be carrying exactly?

This would be the X-Men: Blackbirds book I keep tossing out in these roster wishlist threads. While Uncanny X-Men would be a bit of everything, from a mutant Champions to mutant Stormwatch to mutant New Avengers... X-Men would become mutant Thunderbolts. Rogue, Cyclops and Wolverine take the initiative of transforming villains with potential into a successful rescue and crisis prevention team. Along the way, Cyclops is transformed by perspectives outside of Xavier's moral center, and leads the team of ex-villains into actual pro-mutant terrorist behavior.

Rogue has the powerset, and codename, if she was radicalized and/or "fed" other mutants to make her stronger/angrier.

Otherwise the pickings are slim (Stryfe?) and mainly would have to be brand new.
