X-Men Vote begins tomorrow (1/10/22)

[nx01a]

I voted for Monet, if only that someone explain this Penance-shifting nonsense [damn you Hickman! Introducing such a thing without addressing it...]. Plus I want her and Ev to acknowledge each other....

Agreed! Plus she needs to redeem herself after that X-Corp misfire.

[Saithor]

Seems like reaching and pushing look really similar. Villains always think they're doing good and ones like Cap can even lie to themselves. Heroes don't murder villains by pushing them off cliffs, mind controlled or not.

While Krakoa can never get poor Avalanche the justice he deserves, they can give him the honor of being an X-Men and show people that Mutants will not be daunted!

I....so Cap, with his arm outstretched reaching towards Avalaunche but still being several feet away from Avalaunche, somehow pushed him and also lied to what he intended to do, to himself, in the heat of the moment, and this is what you think is the most likely explanation for how that scene played out and not Red Skull making Avalaunche kill himself so that he could prevent anyone from finding out he was mind controlling mutants to inflame human-mutant relations.

Well for those who keep on wanting the New X-Men to get more focus. You can do something about that now. So vote for Surge or Gentle.

[RamaBird]

Voted for Monet.

Monet replaces Rogue and Surge replaces Laura. Duggan doesn't get Laura and he's barely used Rogue who would surely get picked up by another book.

I think Gentle would be better for XMen RED.

I don't know how Tini keeps getting work. Mutant magic and mutant business were both potent concepts and she managed to completely fumble both in Excalibur and X-Corp. Her Monet was particularly egregious.

It wasn't just boring, the benevolent race stuff stank of "Hey, exploitative capitalism is alright as long as it's X-people doing it". That and uh...Mastermind. Screw Mastermind. But yes more Monet would be nice although I'm hoping for Armor, Surge, or Firestar first.

Or just Gorgon for the lols. Hail Hydra!

Yeah I hope Academy X vote doesn't get split too much and they vote for Surge lol

[Alex.]

Yeah, looked like she was going to play a part in New Warriors, before it got nuked.

Is that twink Pyro?

[Pumpkin King]

Is that twink Pyro?

Which one? The blond guy with the face mask is Speedball, if that's who you mean.

Someone jokingly said "We already have one redhead" about Firestar and Siryn, but that makes me think that the options could be a glimpse at what characters they intend to have leaving the team (if not all of them). If you can easily compare one character up for vote to another on the team, that could be an indicator.

Didn't know him, thanks. Is he a mutant?

Also, who are the colorful couple? They seem interesting. So is the lady with th braid.

If that's the case Sunfire & Rogue probably both getting fired.

He's possibly one of the few characters who can claim to have been as mistreated by marvel editorial as the X-men. Speedball was the guy chosen to cause the Stamford incident and kick off Civil War, and he was turned form a happy-go lucky hero who wanted to help people to a grimdank masochist character named Pennance who forcibly hurt himself with a spiked costume to get more power and it was pretty dumb. I think they eventually restored him when they realized nobody was interested in a Rob Liefeld version of Speedball.

Yeah, 3 Japanese and one mutant with fire powers seems like very bad news for Shiro.

He's not a mutant, he got his powers in some kind of science accident (which also affected his cat). As Saithor mentioned, he was a happy-go-lucky fun guy until Marvel decided to make him grim-dark after the incident that kicked off Civil War. And while it's understandable that he would be wracked with guilt, the whole Penance thing was stupid. I'm glad he's back closer to his old self, maybe a bit more mature than before.

Don't know about the lady with the braid (unless you mean the blond woman - that's Namorita) but the colorful couple were apparently twins called Snowflake and Safe Space, a move that was guaranteed to piss off fans from all sides of the political spectrum.
