"I wish I could live life five times over!
Then I’d be born in five different places,
and I’d stuff myself with different food from around the world.
I’d live five different lives with five different occupations...
and then, for those five times...
I’d fall in love with the same person..."

I am soooooo excited. I can't even. Had to crank the a/c higher and higher as announcements kept coming.
For those that couldn't see the Newsarama's liveblog:
- Hickman praised the art of Pepe Larazz and R.B. Silva, saying it's "mission critical" to have artists who can design cohesive worlds. Hickman called them two of Marvel's best artists.
- Powers of X tells the story of the "Past, present and future of mutantkind."
- Hickman says "House of X #5 is the good one."
- Apocalypse and Mr. Sinister will show up later in the series.
- Hickman jokes that he didn't want to reveal anything but was outvoted. His way would include no previews or PR - but "we want this thing to be as big as possible."
- "We've lied to you a lot, extensively," said Hickman.
- White said Hickman has a plan that lasts 3 decades.
- They're going to reveal the titles in the new X-line - but not story details. We'll find out the teams and the creators though! All handpicked by Hickman.
- The titles will be revealed with a game where fans guess the line-ups.
The first title is MARAUDERS by GERRY DUGGAN and MATTEO LOLLI
- There are six MARAUDERS - PYRO, ICEMAN, STORM, BISHOP, EMMA FROST, and KITTY PRYDE. LOCKHEED is also there.
- "We're taking a traditional name and a concept you don't know about yet, and it looks like a bunch of nonsense, but it's brilliant. If we told you the pitch right now it wouldn't make sense."

Up Next: EXCALIBUR
- EXCALIBUR is written by TINI HOWARD with art from MARCUS TO.
- EXCALIBUR also has six members.
- EXCALIBUR is ROGUE, RICTOR, JUBILEE, GAMBIT, PSYLOCKE - AKA CAPTAIN BRITAIN, and APOCALYPSE.
(My reaction - OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I love Jubes, Remy, Rogue and Betsy together TEAM BLUE, I ADORE Rictor, and let's go Poccy! Take my money now!!)
- Confirmed - PSYLOCKE is now officially the new CAPTAIN BRITAIN. (Let's go MCU!!)

Up Next: X-FORCE
- X-FORCE from writer BEN PERCY and artist JOSHUA CASSARA.
- X-FORCE has 8 members.
- X-FORCE is WOLVERINE, MARVEL GIRL/JEAN GREY, DOMINO, BEAST, KID OMEGA, SAGE, COLOSSUS, and BLACK TOM. !!!!!!!!

Up Next: Fallen Angels
- by BRYAN EDWARD HILL and SZYMON KUDRANSKI - a deep cut for X-Fans.
- Only three members of this team.
- FALLEN ANGELS is ANGEL, ANGEL, and ARCHANGEL. JUST KIDDING
- It's X-23, CABLE, and PSYLOCKE - NOT Betsy Braddock. Maybe KWANNON?
(Woah. This is the kill squad IMO.)
Up Next: New Mutants
- NEW MUTANTS from JONATHAN HICKMAN, ED BRISSON, and ROD REIS.
- Hickman will write the first arc with Ed Brisson taking over after that.
- New Mutants has 8 members - MAGIK, SUNSPOT, CYPHER, MIRAGE, KARMA, WOLFSBANE, CHAMBER, and MONDO.
(A mix of NM and GenX, how fun!!)
- WOLFSBANE and CHAMBER are back from the dead.
- "I'm doing the first arc of this to set up stuff that's gonna matter years from now," said Hickman.
X-MEN
- X-MEN FROM JONATHAN HICKMAN AND LEINIL FRANCIS YU
- X-MEN is an "all encompassing mutant title".
Wave 2 of titles is already in the works.
LEAH WILLIAMS, VITA AYALA, and more will work on future titles in the line.
Love these out there lineups, its what the franchise needs, but I'm disappointed Lorna didn't make any of the teams.
As long as we all agree Rosenberg's run was a horrible dream, this a bit exciting for the X-universe.

I imagine Scott will be one of the main characters in X-Men. Hickman's Avengers also didn't have a fixed team but still had some core characters.
why do I feel like the Marauder's team is going to be them 6 just going around being pirates
Emma is the opposite of a devourer
She's A Lifebringer
