Hellions #5 - X of Swords Chapter 6 Spoilers/Review

[Luckystar.]

Spoilers: Empath is resurrected on Krakoa and welcomed back by Xavier and Hope. Two days later, the Quiet Council holds a meeting where Mr. Sinister proposes to send his Hellions to Otherworld as none of them were among the chosen champions. He wants the Hellions to steal the Arakki champions’ swords to force a forfeit. Shaw, Msytique, Exodus, Emma Frost and Sinister himself vote in favor of his plan. Exodus proposes that Mr. Sinister leads the Hellions, much against his wishes.



The Hellions regroup, and Havok warns that whoever dies in Otherworld cannot be resurrected. Meanwhile, Mr. Sinister plans to send his own clone to Otherworld instead. The uncooperating clone forces Sinister’s hand and both play rock paper scissors to decide who will go to Otherworld; otherwise, the clone will expose Mr. Sinister’s illegal clone farm to the Council. We never learn which Mr. Sinister went to Otherworld.



Upon crossing the gateway, Sinister asks for King Jamie Braddock’s permission to travel through Avalon. Jamie accepts it and gives them a horse as a gift. Jamie requests Sinister’s cape in exchange to seal their deal. The Hellions soon find out that Jamie played them as the horse was stolen property of Saturnyne. Sinister asks Empath to manipulate Saturnyne’s guards into cooperating with them. Empath agrees only if they let him use his powers to turn Greycrow into his pet. Sinister accepts Empath’s conditions and soon the Hellions embark on a journey to the Kingdom of Dryador towards Arakko.



This was hilarious. Pretty much focused on Sinister and Empath. It kinda feels like a filler, but it's really worthy. Great writing and art. My only nitpick is that Kwannon is a telepath, so they really didn't need Empath to control Saturnyne's guards. Anyway, I loved it.

This kindo confirms none of the Hellions will get the 10th sword.

I dunno why anyone thought that was the case when all 10 were accounted for.

Nope, they are not, so far we know of Magik, Storm, Wolverine, Betsy, Brian, Gorgon, Kid Cable, Apocalypse and Cypher. We do not know number 10.
Some think it is Magneto, others named Kwannon. Well, she aint it after the remarks in this issue.

They literally say. It's 10 swords and Gorgon has two. There's no 10th person.

I'll have to re-read it but I thought all the sword bearers were revealed in X-Factor?

Nah, Polaris created a circle with 10 spots of Rockslides body. Each spot will be taken by one champion.

Did they say ten swords or ten champions because i am pretty sure they said champions.
