Academy X: New X-Men Appreciation 2021

[CGAR]

Slow but good issue. I kind of feel it was out of character for Pixie to do what she did even if there was peer pressure involved. But she's also been though a lot so what do I know.

Even money says the first X-Man to die once the Resurrection Protocols go away (because it eventually will) is going to be a New X-Man.

Can't we kill logan ? The new xmen could eat him to gain his powere to appear in books

Unless they introduce a whole new class of young "upcomming" mutants of whom 90% lose the popularity contest and become free to be used as random victims. Or do we now count all new young mutants introduced after Generation X as "New X-men"?

Though that aside, yes the New X-men seem prime candidates for getting picked off once deaths become semi-serious for them again. I think one main reason is because there are so many of them, that writers just think a few aren't going to be missed.

Marvel has apparently decided that all X-Teens beginning with the NXM belong in a nebulously interchangeable Generic Teen Wallpaper generation with nothing to differentiate them in Editorial's eyes.

Pixie just showed up as a character in Marvel United: X-Men:

I didn’t think that anyone remembered that a bunch of these characters officially graduated.

[Jeremy!]

Pixie is still the it girl with one magic spell to her name.

When's the last time Surge and Hellion made an appearance?

2 spells.
She can put people to sleep (or make them explode, if she's not careful)

[Sutekh]

I love that her mutant power is literally described as 'she could manifest rainbow colored butterfly wings' and she's drawn with pink wasp wings...

I mean, sure, it's technically accurate, because she did have ranbow-colored butterfly wings and now doesn't for reasons of 'hard to draw,' but how hard is it to say something more currently accurate like 'she grew colorful insect wings.'

Wait what?? When did she learn an explodey spell??

[CGAR]

I really don't get why writers don't like using Hellion and Surge.

Wanda taught her mist of somting as a sleeping spell but it blew up rockslide. See amazing xmen

[Havok83]

I really don't get why writers don't like using Hellion and Surge.

Possibly bc they find her redundant with Armor, whom tends to be one of the kids that gets used the most. Obviously they have different powers but functionally fulfill a similar role and I feel that over the years, their personalities have blended to be the same. Armor has the upper hand bc her power is visually distinct and allows writers to do things that they cant with other characters, whereas Surge for the most part becomes another blaster

[mugiwara]

They should amp the other aspects of Nori's powers.
A speedster with electric effects always looks cool. See Flash or Kirua Zoldyck.
And her ability to absorb electricity could be used to fight machines.
