    It just seems like they are experimenting with characters rather than telling a story. Not saying this is a good thing.

A boyfriend where she was trying to kill herself and Julian but synch the problem. lol
    Lol, fam we know what that really is! Some sheep have such deep conditioning, they don't even know why they seem to have issues with melaninated males in any capacity.

    I'd be much more interested in a mutant civil war than World War X, which feels like something too tempting to not do

    I'm not twisting anyone's words. You're the one who connected his placement on his team to race and not Duggan actually wanting to write the character. Which he does based on his tweets. https://twitter.com/GerryDuggan/stat...90307890614276

    Synch was just added to continue his relationship with Laura.
    At the very, very least, the way it was phrased in the original post was phrased extremely poorly. It's phrased in a way that reads at best like randomly mentioning something completely unrelated, at worst like being Black is somehow a mark against the character. So if nothing else, it's a good example of the need to be careful about what and how certain things are mentioned.

    A yes the endless X-fandom ritual of insinuating people who don't like (insert storyline, plot element, application of the "mutant metaphor", or character here) must be a bigot. It's why I came here because it's all X-Twitter ever does

    It's not as if people refuse to get hyped about things. People loved HoxPox.

    This team doesn't inspire.

    I'm sold on this line-up...happy it's not the usual crutch of the original 5 or the Giant-Sized crew. Happy to see Polaris and especially Sunfire onboard (hoping his costume is his original one and not some Age of Apocalypse garbage). This'll be the first X-book I pick up since Hickman took the reins.

    The members I like on the new X-Men team
    Scott
    Jean
    Polaris
    Rogue


    The members that is neutral for me
    Sunfire

    The members that I don't like
    Copycat 'Wolverine' should be replaced with the real Wolverine.
    Synch should be replaced with Banshee. (the runner-up of the voting election)

    I agree with you.

    It seems that they wanted one black person (Synch) on the X-Men team since Storm couldn't make it because she's on the Quiet Council.

    Most relationship don't last in Marvel, so his relationship with Laura ain't the reason, Laura can be paired with other people.

    Then they also wanted one Asian X-Man which would be Sunfire instead of Iceman.

    Let's just hope the author can make something out of this bland team roster....

    ...Storm or M should be here!

    Everybody is so intrigued by the basicness of the character selection that nobody speaks about those weird space monkeys. lol

    maybe Duggan was only allowed to use the characters all the other writers do not want to write?

    This is the absolute perfect post. Rogue is a popular character, Bishop and Storm is the only two "popular" black characters therefore they should have been used. If you don't use a character how do they become popular? Let's keep putting the popular characters in the biggest stories with the best artist and never let the smaller characters get that chance. It is self-fulling prophecy of the X-men franchise you have to put popular characters in the book. But if you never get in the biggest books and used in biggest events you never become popular.

    If Gerry Duggan does a good job with book itself and Synch and Sunfire what will Synch and Sunfire be at the end of the run? A POPULAR CHARACTER.

    You want Cyclops, Jean Grey, Laura, Polaris, Rogue.. Replace Sunfire with Iceman...Replace Synch with Banshee. The vaunted accidentally not forced in any way all white X-men team.
