Any theories on who the new character is? Perhaps the secret daughter of Thanos and Death that this new Illuminati mindwiped and created a false identity for?

Hulk is not in issue 1 but he is in 2.
He is not shown in issue 3 on the cover however.
Did thanos knock him out in issue 2?
Maybe he was used as a distraction since he is highly aggressive and is going after monster types.Last edited by mace11; 11-08-2023 at 03:01 PM.

Looking at the lineup I'm stumped as to what Emma Frost being there brings to the party besides two copious handfuls of medical-grade silicone. Originally Posted by Tofali

She replaces Prof. X, a telepath, but I suspect her connection with IM is more to the point, so a sense of dynamics. Originally Posted by Micabe

Fair enough, replace the telepathic mutant member with another mutant telepath from the same group affiliation... I thought she might be there dogging Stark but, I wasn't sure if it was not Rhodes in the Iron Man Armor. Btw... Does anyone know which model of armor Rhodes is currently sporting?

Honestly, she would bring more than Xavier, given her loose morals, Hellfire Club contacts, in addition to her telepathic skill. Originally Posted by Micabe

Blue Marvel looking very much like the kid who only joined the school soccer team because his parents made him. Originally Posted by Tofali

Apparently it wasn't about replacements at all, Cantwell wanted an illuminati of characters that he already wrote Originally Posted by Oberon
https://aiptcomics.com/2023/11/06/x-...ntwell-thanos/I pulled from characters I’ve written before. That’s true for all of them except Emma. I’ve gotten to write Reed in Doctor Doom, and the Fantastic Four: Road Trip annual I did. Blue Marvel was also heavily in Doctor Doom, and Strange appeared in both Doctor Doom and Hellcat. And Iron Man appeared in a book called Iron Man that I wrote for a few years. Greedily, I had tried to put Doom and Namor in the Illuminati as well, just to have everyone I’ve written be on the Illuminati, even Captain America[
With Xavier kinda crazy and Beast being full on villain, I don't know who else besides Emma could have been mutant rep.
