I hope Pyro is this team's Captain Boomerang and Kitty's the Amanda Waller and they throw hands a couple times.

I don't blind date I make the direct market vibrate
The Shadowcat name and updated costume would be perfect for a pirate book. We'd forget all about Gold if we got this!
Really looking forward to this. Bit concerned about Kitty being leader and if Storm will get the spotlight she deserves, but so far this does feel like an era where multiple characters can be BIG within one book.
1. What do you think about the line up do you like it? Do you hate it?
I'm mostly here for it. I'm so done with Kitty though, and to have her on the team, and as the leader too, does bring down the roster for me. For everyone else, I love the character dynamics in place. Ororo & Emma. Ororo & Bishop. Bobby & Pyro. Bobby & Emma. Such rich interactions and a shared history that will surely lead to more fruitful stories. A lot of very strong and individualized personalities that I hope all get their own time to shine.
I love that between Bobby, Ororo & St John we've got some elemental powerhouses. Surely we're gonna get some brilliant displays of power on that front.
If I were to sub out Kitty for someone else, I would bring in Northstar, Banshee, Frenzy, Shatterstar or Armor. Jean-Paul, Bobby & Emma would be a sassy trio to root for. Sean & Emma absolutely deserve a reunion and I would LOVE for them to be a power couple. Joanna is a badass and needs to be on an X-Team. Shatterstar would be well-suited for the piracy. And Hisako has proven herself worthy of being on the frontlines too- not to mention that she has a history with Ororo & Emma.
2. What do you think so far about the concept for Marauders? Who do you think is leader "Kate" Pryde is the "Captain" but Emma Frost is funding it?
It's hard to accept Kitty as the team leader when every other team member sans Pyro would be a better fit for the job. I do love the idea of the Marauders being on the high seas though. Emma being involved in a behind-the-scenes role is watching. I do wonder how often she'll actually be on the boat or in-action.
3. What do you know about creative team?
I've really liked some of Duggan's Avengers stuff. Everything else is kinda spotty, though that may be more up to the other characters hes written or concept rather than the writing quality itself being poor. I feel like Lolli's art is gonna fit perfectly too.
4. Pyro??? Which one is he?
Everything points to it being St John rather than Simon. Which does make me wonder where Simon is. Probably on Krakoa right?
Yoo they would be so much fun.
Wow! I love the look of it so far! Can't wait for this books. It's my second most wanted after Excalibur!
A picture would last longer darling...
Isn't Pyro confirmed to be gay? Does anyone else expect a rivalry that turns into a relationship too?
Considering it's canon that the X-Men were founded 10 years ago how old would that make Kitty? Judging from the flashback page for X-Men Cyclops looks to be around 15/16 which would make him around 26 at the most. Could explain why Kitty looks younger in Marauders I'm guessing she's probably about 21-23 there.
