X of Swords (Summer X-Over)

[Maestroneto]

I'm genuinely surprised that Kwannon did not qualify as one of the ten swords. It would have been a nice opportunity to see her and Betsy working together.

Nightcrawler too.

But hey, we get Storm, because omega level weather manipulation and top tier H2H skills weren't enough. She needs to be a legendary swordwielder too!

I was def expecting Kwannon here.

[JB]

I'm just happy Betsy is there and that's a kick-ass squad.

[CGAR]

Is that glob? Ugh Brisson.

AiPT identifies them as: Gorgon, Storm, Bishop, Magneto, Captain Britain (Brian Braddock)

Intrigued to see how this storyline unfolds, to say the least!

Now that you mention it, I think it's definitely Bishop. I had forgotten about his new red outfit.

It does not look like the tecno arm of Doug. And Doug jacket is sleeveless in that arm, so yeah its Bishop

[Wiccan]

You forgot her being a goddess and the whole reason the X-Men exist.

I'm okay with the Ten of Swords. Of course there are some that would have changed, but they seem like a reasonably solid team. I am sure that not only they will take center stage in the event.

[MYCMTSC]

Ugh @ Brian
I would'v preferred Kwannon or John Greycrow in his place

Oh come now, I created that thread and it was honestly all in good fun and just supposed to be a back issue showcase that I found interesting. No one claimed she was the solely responsible for the creation of the X-men! You guys need to learn to take a joke. We’re in a comic drought, I thought it’d be a fun thread to discuss lol. Some of you guys take Storm and her fans way too seriously. It’s not always fanatical in nature, though I do digress that some may take it there at times. Downfalls of having a character that appeals to so many I suppose. You are however correct on the former part of your statement tho... lmaoooo

im so very excited, the 4 creatures that want saturdyne's favour, the tarot reading, this event is filled to the brim with originality, layers, good direction in artistic and writting levels, it's interesting and mysterious.
Im so very glad about it the more we find out about it <3

[Stormultt Divine]

This looks bloody epic!

[PrezValentine]

Yup, yup. Thanks for the heads up, V!

Huh. So we have:
- 3 former Horsemen (the flying trio)
- Rictor, who has been not so subtly influenced by Apocalypse in Excalibur, as far as I've read (fucking slog of a book)
- Havok, who was evil not so long ago and is currently dealing with some weird mental stuff
- Trinary, who seems to be working closely with Apocalypse
- Beast, who has been sowing death and war for the sake of Krakoa

I can't see how Glob fits in, but there's an obvious theme of people who were either swayed by evil or might be currently. You could say Glob fits through that angle, due to how he took part in the first actual rebellion Xavier had to deal with and also betrayed the Jean Grey School, but that sounds so insignificant compared to the rest that I have a hard time buying it.
