X-Men Red #16 - Review/Recap Spoilers

[BobbysWorld]

Personally I'm banking on White Sword being broken free of Annihilation's control next issue - maybe due to something Apocalypse does - and he saves Nova. I could see Rich becoming the first nonmutant member of Blue's Hundred Companions and ending up a close confidant/friend of his really fitting with how Ewing's used Nova thus far.

Is he going to have sex with White Sword too, or is that part of the deal exclusive to Ironfire?

Ororo didn't kill War and Famine.
Do you really think she's going to use Uranos or do something terrible herself?

Ororo didn't kill War and Famine.

I've been thinking about this, and my bet is Storm's feels so responsible for Arakko that if someone is going to commit genocide in its name, it should damn well be her.

Storm has killed before, the most being the 12 victims of the vampires during curse of the mutants. It changes her and she's scared of that change. It's not genocide. It's war.

Could Storm use Uranos to destroy Annihilation and the horde and reunite Arrako/Orrako?

[Frobisher]

The Ivory Spire is pretty much a 24 hour knocking shop when they get back from battle, just like the offscreen barracks in 300.

Storm x death is happening it's happening i tell you

I thought she had an eye for Leelo and Kobb's dad now?

[BobbysWorld]

One last polycule to close out the era.

[Saithor]

So my takeaway:
-The Four Horsemen are jobbers, and are probably going to show up next week alongside Stilt Man.
-If Genesis ends up being just as much of a pushover I’ll rofl
-Lasy Apocalypse is just here trying to find another fourteen year old to make some new horseman with.

The tricky part is that Uranos would likely leave Arakko comatose again after his hour killing spree. Can she vanquish Genesis' forces herself while sparing the planet? But as BW mentioned that could be where Apocalypse comes in as he's preparing to "remake the world."

So my takeaway:
-The Four Horsemen are jobbers, and are probably going to show up next week alongside Stilt Man.

Keep lumping my boy Death in with this stupid siblings. Keep doing it. He's evolved beyond those clowns. Hanging out with grade a vampires will do that.

Hahaha. Those etiquette seminars with the UNdead really helped Death evolve.

[ZephyrSurf]

I don't know why Ewing decided to suddenly make Death super honorable, when the Apocalypse siblings whole deal was that they were honorless scumbags who disgusted White Sword with their very presence.

Annihilation took Genesis over with ease. She's just a jobber with a top card manager. Good to see the scan where Storm basically said as much. And fire, water, and plants vs. weather? The only one built to give Storm's powerset a challenge is on her side.

It doesn't help that Annihilation is a generic evil god with no mythological basis in reality and who was never mentioned in the world of the Marvel befor, which means he has no legacy value at all while having to compete with allready existing similar beings who have more "street rep" and commands a generic horde of monsters who also look like wannabe N’garai (in turn allready not the most unique).

So even the top card manager allready looks like he is destined to be a jobber aswell.

And in all of this it's notable how damaging pre-emptive hype can be for new villains, especially when the writers can't or don't want to commit building them up over time properly or giving them enough wins to make them live up to it.
