The rise of the S.W.O.R.D. of Krakoa

[Devaishwarya]

Shaman (guest appearing in Strange Academy) and Talisman

[Thundershot]

Mutants from the various Alpha Flight teams include Aurora, Northstar, Purple Girl/Woman, Manikin, Pathway, Goblyn, Feedback, Ghost Girl, Madison Jeffriues, Diamond Lil (dead) and Puck II (Zuzha Yu, dead).

Also Flex, Radius, and Murmur who are depowered.

And Marrina.

Your correct! I can't believe i over looked them!

Ariel seems like a perfect fit for Manifold's team. She's an alien and a teleporter. Plus she's awesome.
Maybe the telepath is Xandra?
I can't think of many that would be a big reveal.

As a side note, I hope Pixie isn't a member, because she still needs to join Excalibur and I don't think she'd much panel time in SWORD.

I agree that Ariel would be a perfect fit on Manifold's team of teleporters. Portal, Silhouette and Pathway would as well and are currently not being used anywhere.

Go out on a limb here and guess the telepath will be Mentallo due to his brief stint in S.H.I.E.L.D.'s Psi-Division.

Sasquatch is dead, Puck is part of Gamma Flight, the team that keeps an eye in Hulk.

Sasquatch is coming back in Immortal Hulk.

[Master of Sound]

Yeah, lets just name all mutant teleporters whahaha.

I doubt it will be big reveals, because if they already mention the appearance of a D-lister like Random, I seriously doubt any of the other characters would be much bigger names. Same for the Alpha Flight member.

Also, Flashback, Stitch, Wildchild (in Hellions), Centennial, Ghost Girl (unconfirmed mutant), Windshear, Smart Alec

I guess i forgot a bunch.

Seeing those preview pages (nice art btw), i understand why they do it, but i can't shake off the feeling using Krakoa bio-mass for everything and being so willing to rely on it so heavily, despite less than half a year having passed since they begann using it, might come to bite them in the rear. Not only SWORD but for the X-men on Earth too.

And it's not like i suspect Krakoa itself has any sinister plans going on, but just that it's bio-mass tech is still largely new and connected to a sapient being they don't fully understand.

Taking all that into space and relying on it while encountering all kinds of unknown events and phenomena, seems a bit reckless. But since these are super hero comics, reckless decisions are half the fun.

Kinda funny that at more or less the same time we're getting a mutant-only reboot of SWORD in the comics right around the time we get SWORD in the MCU, which appears to have zero connection to the X-Men whatsoever

[dkrook]

Looks pretty cool! Kinda wish someone else got Kid Cable’s spot since he’s already got a solo and is gonna have a huge focus in the upcoming crossover.

Funny, that was the first thing I thought too. Cable doing triple duty, when there's a Bishop that has almost same skill set just different powers. To add Bishop's powers might even be better in this capacity. Weird how X-office peed themselves over Storm being inaccessible cause she was with 1 characters and here they can put 1 mutant in 3 different books ...??? I love the Cable character, but really?

Xandra is a smart guess! I was thinking Cassie Nova.
But yeah, lotta people are guessing Monet or Martha but neither would merit being a mystery member.

I just love how BIG this idea is. Ugh I’m so impressed already

I can't wait for Deep Space X!

New interview and art!
Confirmed that there's going to be sub-teams, with Manifold leading his own team of teleporters and Cable leading a security team that includes Random. There's also another character they haven't revealed yet--a telepath in charge of negotiations and interrogations.

Gorgeous art!
Paibok the Power Skrull! LOL!
A telepath for negotiation and interrogation? If it's Mentallo, I'll squee. Mentallo's Think Tank vs Wiz Kid's X-Chair. Round 1. Fight!
I hope they address why none of the healers have let Wiz walk yet.
