X of Swords (Summer X-Over)

[Frobisher]

Ugh. Booo. Just when I was starting to get into it.

I think that’s pretty baseless conjecture, like if someone saw Wolverine was joining Runaways and assumed that meant he’d quit the other half dozen teams he’s in.

Wanted to discus this variant. Now it might just exist to be fancy, but it also might have some hidden meaning



Magik: Ace of Swords
Betsy Braddock: Seven of Swords (Or more likely the eight of swords)
Brian Braddock: Ace of Pentacle
Cypher: Two of Cups
last one too obscured to tell.

I think they mean something since Tini is very into Tarot.

Brian:
Ace Of Pentacles Keywords
UPRIGHT: A new financial or career opportunity, manifestation, abundance.
REVERSED: Lost opportunity, lack of planning and foresight.

Betsy:
Seven Of Swords Keywords
UPRIGHT: Betrayal, deception, getting away with something, acting strategically
REVERSED: Imposter syndrome, self-deceit, keeping secrets

These both cards for the Braddocks makes sense with their dilema on who's worthy as Captain Britain.

Someone posted something like this before and Hope cant be replaced by those mutants. Her role in the resurrection isnt to mimic powers (which those 3 characters do). Its power manipulation, which is what Hickman listed her as omega for. She allows the other 4 powers to be used in unison to perfect the resurrection process. She also amplifies and stabilizes them. Without her, Eva might over or undershoot the aging, all the eggs may not be viable after Proteus and Elixir have done their thing; Hope mitigates this by making it perfect. Mimic nor Synch powers have an external effect on other mutants (Rogue's weakens them). T

I think people are confusing a line mentioned in the data pages but full replacement isnt what was meant. A mutant like Synch can help speed up the process by synching up with any of the 5, including Hope and that may be necesary as they scale up. If Hope isnt around, he is useless to the resurrection. Ditto for Rogue and Mimic





The other mutants are mentioned as assists, not replacements

I might be reading it wrong, but doesn't "stand-ins" imply, replacements?

Definitely obscured, but if I had to guess, I'd say The Hanged Man.

Synch needs to return from the Vault first.

[Shadowcat]

Bable as the Hanged Man really makes sense, meaning he’s giving in, or self-sacrificial, but it might also mean he’s in between two very different stages in his life.

[Shadowcat]

Doug, and I’m assuming either Warlock, or Krakoa, describing their relationship and symbiosis moving forward. Or if it’s reversed, something tragic may happen between them. Which might lead into the fall of Krakoa.

Who’s Babel? Teen Cable?

I've missed him and Darwin ever since they left us, I do hope they make their way back by the years end, and I guess they can bring Laura with them. Although I thoroughly enjoyed fhe interactions between Everett and Darwin I ship the bromance.

I'm thinking Doug, he's where all the attention is being drawn though that might just be a fake out. Although Teen Cable is in the upcoming Sword book.

[DrMcNugget]

Anyone know what sword that it is (the giant one on top of the tarot cards) and whose it is or at least who wields it primarily?

I was thinking it could be the Blade of the Phoenix but my memory of it is quite hazy so I googled it quickly and I guess I was wrong.

[Woozie]

it's just a generic sword.

Look at the design on the costume. It’s for sure Cable.

[Shadowcat]

Yes lol. Baby cAble.

[Shadowcat]

Has Yu’s permanent replacement been announced yet?

Oh okay -_-
