Who is the secret eight member of the Uncanny X-Men team?

[blanchett]

Cullen Bunn is laughing at us!(He probably isn't). He said he hasn't seen anyone guess correctly who the secret member of his team is yet. Here is a thread to discuss options. So far all we know is that this person was an X-Man.

Here are some ideas I have.

Mach 2 - Nomi Blume - Teenage mistress of magnetism, the ultimate universe's Magneto to Kitty Pryde's Professor X. If Miles Morales and Ganke survived the destruction of the Ultimate Universe why couldn't Nomi? Could be a great protege for Magneto. She was an X-Man in the ultimate universe.

Moira MacTaggert - Technically she is dead but the Terrigen Mists storyline is the best reason to go dig Moira up. No one including someone blue and furry who likes genocide knows more about the mutant race than Moira. She cured the Legacy Virus. She also has lots of drama with Magneto. Moira was technically an X-Man due to her stint on the Muir Island X-Men.

Both probably seem a bit left field but given that no one has apparently guessed it I don't think it's going to be someone like Polaris, Rachel Summers or Sage etc.

............Hope! Dun, Dun, Duuun!!!

[Wiccan]

I know it's not gonna be her but I just thought of Ultimate Jean now since she's kinda the Ultimate Scott.

I think he said he isn't using Hope didn't he?

We know Polaris shows up and Elixir and Triage. Maybe Eva Bell in some capacity.

Sage.

Or Doop.

Cyclops, who else?

Cyclops, who else?

Someone had definately said Cyclops already. I think Cyclops story will play out in Extradionary.

Legion. He said it was someone we thought we'd never see again.
I hope I'm wrong, but he came to mind when I read that.

Jean Grey!

Legion taking orders from Magneto... That'd be fun. I'd say Sage too, but who would think she'd never pop up again? Id say Bishop but thatd be too obvious and natural a fit to say we'd not suspect it. Here are my guests;

Maddrox
Rictor
Cain Marko (Juggernaut)
Elixir
Cecilia Reyes
Adam Xtreme
Random
Maggot
Thunderbird ( Neal )

Quentin Quire?

[MYCMTSC]

Ultimate Kitty Pryde is the only alt universe/timeline character I'd ever care to see again, so I'd be mildly interested to see her as a part of this book.

Maggott, Adam X, Penance, Genocide, or one of the original Horsemen are my guesses for characters we thought we'd never see again.

[Kisinith]

Xavier!

Nah, it'd be awesome but I don't really see this playing out. Especially as I heard a big part of UA was going to be them hunting down Xavier Skull, can't see both narratives working too well.

Since it said it would be someone we thought we never see again, I would take Madrox, Cecilia, Rictor and Juggs of the list.

Elixer is already in the book, so that wouldn't be it I guess.

The others, are on my list of guesses as well. Other former X-Men I would not expect and were not named before are Changeling (Morph I), Lifeguard and Joseph

Maybe it's Vulcan. Hell since Bunn is using Fantomex who's to say maybe it's that horrible shitstorm that was Maggott
