House of X / Powers of X reveal

[Havok83]

Fixed for ya. They had Nemesis, Prodigy, Kavita Rao available. Weren't used because Rosenberg wanted his anti-vaxx plot.

The twist that happened with DB, couldnt have been done had he swapped in any of those characters

I feel like this run had more than enough twists that we wouldn't have missed one

[Silver Fang]

X-OFFICE: *Does one-shot of Misteek being a psycho bitch running over people's lives, pitches as it as what she does on a normal day*

READERS: Wow! Just like Emma!

Agreed. Mystique was a clear psycho lady in X-Black. Even Emma isn't that bad, And she's with Creed in HOX. They are even more one-note when they're together because Marvel is intent in selling them as Chucky x Tiffany. And we see Torch & Thing attacking them. So they ain't good in this.

Both could stand to take a long break. Lol

[MYCMTSC]

If this is a connected variant, Who should be on the other side?
I want Laura, Monet, Rachel and Lorna

Monet
Jubilee
Laura
Polaris
Husk
Karma
Boom Boom
Some wild card among: Mercury/Bling/Marrow/Cece Reyes/Dust

Very F-List in comparison tho haha

[Woozie]

Why was all this back and fourth over Mystique on the cover. When the cover basically explains itself.

I looked at it and went "Yep, those sure are popular mutant women alright"

[Maestro 216]

Like it or not, however brief or long, Mystique HAS been on an X-Team. As has Sabertooth. As has Emma. Magneto. Namor. Lady Mastermind. Lots of "villains".

Also, I think a lot of folks use the moniker of X-person/woman/man/whomever as a more all encompassing X-character identifier and not always meant to indicate exclusive membership under the Xavier flag.

<shrug>

Hard to have good villains if they become heroes.

[salarta]

even if its X-23 and not Lorna, she'll definitely be on that cover. She's arguably the most prominent X-woman not represented adn it would be a glaring hole to have a second image to round it out and she still be missing

We'll see. I'm expecting and prepared for Marvel excluding her because it matches their behavior and attitude toward her.


Having looked at and thought about the cover, I don't think the cut off arm and leg are on the back side. I'd expect them to be on the left of the cover if that was the case. For that reason, I expect there's going to be another variant cover that continues the image.

But that is the problem: if the characters were written in character, it would not have happened.

I... er... doubt Rosenberg's promotes anti-vaccination just because he stopped mutants from extinction via meds.

Oh, I know it wasn't intencional.

That was explained in story (aka the psychic tampering)

[Woozie]

Oh, I know it wasn't intencional.

I mean, if you assert that idea, you'd have to say the same of Whedon and Gillen cause their runs also deal with the anti-mutant vaccine, and I really doubt they're anti-vaxxers.

[Bruce Wayne]

Those were more equivalent to the gay conversion therapies that were and probably are still popular

In Rosenberg's story, the vaccine actually kills children...

[Triniking1234]

Yeah. After Dark Beast tampers with it and says he knew it would happen but whatever.

[KangMiRae]

Hickman's tweet suggests there may be a copy of HoX/PoX to read at SDCC.

Marvel's done this before, right?

[Devaishwarya]

15 days...and counting.
