Why haven't any of the Black Male X-men caught on other than Bishop?

He was depored with the vaccine, but they reversed the vaccine and they are bringing mutants back to life. healers should be priority

Exactly and thevaccine would have attacked his x-gene but not remove it from existence like the decimation did so they could easily bring him back with his powers in tact. He could have been the much needed color x-force is lacking and he did exactly what healer was doing during the mpox storyline. Not to mention h is name is freaking triage. He would have had mutants up and running in no time. Another case of a mutant of color being shoved into a closet

Ah, yeah that's weird then, especially considering how powerful he is. I'd rather see him than Healer any day. I don't even know who that character is.

Healing mutants are problematic from a narrative and moral perspective. I can understand his absence.

Bedlam makes a great Alpha House member.

Part of why I wanted X-Force to be a Stormwatchy Internationally deployed team is because it would give all these able-bodied POC mutants some screentime.

An all black team of X-men would be cool.

Bishop
Bedlam
Gentle
Lightbright
Windshear
Pathway

That's kind of far fetched in a world where elixir is helping bring mutants back to life.

If anything this would be the perfect time for healing mutants since mutants have functional immortality. If anything, they're needed more as a cover story for how so many mutants who totally should be dead are walking around.

Also rosenbuurg went out of his way to kill another black mutant because triage could self resuurect so they made sure to strip his powers first

I said what I said. This isn't reality where logic reigns. This is fiction where stories need consequences.

You mean like Xavier being revived and healer being fast tracked. Cool.

What? First, I didn't buy the issue you're referencing and only know what I've read from being on CBR X-Books. Second, I said healing mutant are narratively problematic, so giving one a recurring role is difficult. "Healer" is a wallpaper Morlock who gets screentime only in moments like these. You want that for Triage? Probably not; which is why I ended my original post bringing up the potential of another viable black mutant hero, Bedlam.

[Agent Z]

What's morally problematic about mutant healers?

[Psycwave]

I'd like to see more of Bedlam, personally. Though I've always sorta had a thing for King Bedlam.

Yes. It's time for the Rise of Bedlam! He should join X-Force or New Mutants (since that's where most of his friends are).

[Michael Watkins]

whenever someone mentions bedlam, i remember him looking like Shawn Wayans. and then i think of shawn wayans and his horrible impressions of gay people. which brother did Terry Crews play? i'm guessing that it was the older one; despite the power set.

What's morally problematic about mutant healers?

Logically, they should be at hospitals fixing people, curing cancer, etc. to do otherwise is arguably selfish.

couldn't the same be said of Reed Richards or Tony Stark?
