House of X & Powers of 10 discussion

But you live in a world with tons of high-tech aircraft. Why do they need a boat?

The same reason everyone still uses planes when teleportation technology is available.

Also, it's been established that companies pay Reed Richards off to prevent the destruction of the global economy since universal translators, teleporters, drawing energy from the Negative Zone, and more of his inventions will wreck the world economy.

[DarkMagnus]

Right? And I like that Jean is part of the intelligence gathering portion with Wolverine, Domino, and KO being the strike force.

It makes sound X-force like a goverment institution. Maybe thats the big change.

The mutant will have his place in the world. maybe is not just earth.

Trope: Reed Richards is Useless

[JB]

Wolverine always shows up on covers, even if he doesn't do much in the book. Plus, we don't know they are the ONLY characters appearing there.

They're definitely not. It's the only book without an announced lineup and they said "an all-encompassing mutant book".

Did no one consider the optics of putting the only two black X-Men of note on a colonial/slave trade era sounding boat, owned by a white woman who loves to put people in cages?

But teleporter to airplane is very valid. But a team using a boat is very weird.

kity a captain? Maybe the boat is also a airplane?

[Wiccan]

It's weird cause they say it's a rotating cast but the solicit mentions "Cyclops hand-picked team". I guess that's gonna be just for the first arc?

[DarkMagnus]

i like the fact that Emma is far away of Cyke and Grey.

Same. Great idea.

I'm thinking it's a flying boat. Like SHIELD.

Thats not fear. Emma is not a racist. Also she will end having a good relationship again with Ororo as it seems.

X-office being x-office

[Ying Ko]

I can't believe I'm the only one upset about Betsy replacing Brian as Cap.

They better make him Britannic again and put him in Avengers UK or something... Also shave his stupid beard off

this take is so dry, like how you found a way to make yourself upset

Because it's cool.
