What happen was Bishop, M, Synch, the Bedlam Brothers & Sunspot were they never got a TRUE push, all either unwritten (all) going mosty in side books/rarely on the main team, randomly made villains (Bishop, T.C. Bedlam), whitewash ( Sunspot, M), sidelined for lone time periods (all), kill randomly/make a villain look good (J. Bedlam, Synch).. And the same issue still are happening for mosty part today..
Think if we would’ve gotten correctly written Bishop & T.C. Bedlam both were main team at the same time or each one would be main blue/gold team with O & CeCe.
Think if Synch wasn’t randomly killed After Genx ended there was a real push of a X Corp book - With him, M, Sunspot & others.
Think if J. Bedlam wasn’t randomly killed after NM/Force got to graduate to a main team with his Bro or was atleast in next NM/X-Force/Factor relaunch). Instead all the Black male characters were killed, depowered, man villain or turned white. That’s what happen to most of the good will with Black fans.. Then a few years afterwards they made Prodigy, Drawin & few others and did the same things.
