I...........”””love””” the potential that came with introducing a character like Cipher. It’s just that unlike how Kyle and Yost weaves the New X-Men into X-History, Guggs thought it was a good idea to just shove every creation into the structure of the X-Men. Graymalkin, ancestor of Xavier. Cipher, has been there longer than most and is the reason behind Blindfold’s speech impediment. Ink, this generation’s Cannonball (Elixir who?) except he’s a human which makes it 200% worse.
Also the story was really bad lol
Never forget that Mike Marts referred to Guggs as a fan-favourite X-Men writer in 2014 and that Ketchum put him on Gold because he felt one of the best writers in the business and didn't receive enough chances.
This all happened after Young X-Men. And the Wolverine Civil War story. And the Bart Allen Flash run. And the Green Lantern movie.
i wish googy could write the script for my life
I don't blind date I make the direct market vibrate
According to Bleedingcool, DeFilippis (creator of New X-Men: Academy X) was suprised to get paid for the minor appearance of Match in the last X-Men movie .
That's from his facebook : "So based on the replies I’ve gotten, he was probably in the film for about 30 seconds. Or approximately 10 seconds more than it took to create him.
I mean, I don’t mean to denigrate Match. But we spent a lot of time creating and building backstory and powers for David, Sofia, Laurie, Josh, Noriko, Julian, and Cessily. And we created Santo, Brian, Viktor, and Megan quickly, but then spent time afterwards figuring them out. But Match? We saw a cool bit of artwork in the background of a panel (I think it was Carlo Barberi who first drew him) and thought for a few seconds about a name, codename, and power set.
Wouldn't be surprised if those reasons are close to why he appeared in the movie: cool visual that needs no explanation, nothing complicated in the way of character. Not gonna complain about writers getting paid regardless.
Well some folks did speculate that he was Black underneath the flaming head. I wonder if folks took fan speculation and made it canonical well at least in the movie's canon.
Yeah the actor they used was Black. Kind of hope that carries over into the 616 but I think Match was revealed to be white in some Wolverine solo issue.
