New Champions Appreciation 2018

[PSJ]

Lin is actually ruled out I think - she's involved in Age of X-Man.

Popular consensus over in the X forums seems to be Surge, Pixie, or Honey Badger.

I know zub wants honey badger but did he say anything on pixie?

[Digifiend]

I don't think so. He's talked about Surge and Gabby, but not her. Besides, Pixie's going to be used in Uncanny X-Men, so she's only available if no new teen team book spins off from it.

So its between surge and gabby?

Shadow Spider's cloak power is really cool.

Shadow Spider's cloak power is really cool.

Yeah, It was an interesting power. This week issue was good too and I can't wait for the conclussion of this arc and the relaunch

Shadow Spider's cloak power is really cool.

It's basically Cloak's power. Would've been funny if they'd also been Infinity Warped, but Cloak was merged with someone else in the Weapon Hex mini (Miles's Warp is unknown, in fact Kamala and Riri are the only Champions even known to be getting one).

Speaking of Infinity, Kamala was in Infinity Wars today.

With whom merged Riri during Infinity Wars?

[Digifiend]

My guess is Shuri. It hasn't been revealed yet, Al Ewing said she wasn't in Iron Hammer because she'll be in Ghost Panther.

spoilers:

I’ve got to admit I actually kind of like the weird world look on Sam, I actually hope he gets to keep the crystal energy powers and the sword. It would definitely be a change in fighting ability/power.

Champions Mobile Bunker will be retained.
Zub is considering adding another spider, but it's not the top priority as he wants variety.

Viv gets mentioned (she gave Nadia a "World's Best Great Aunt" coffee cup), and Nadia gets a text message apparently from one of the Champions.

Preview for Spectacular Spider-Man #312, which includes Miles:

Up Here magazine published an in character interview for Amka and it gives a concise explanation of her powers.

So, she's actually named after both Snowbird and Guardian. That really should've come up in issue 21 when she named herself, considering Alpha Flight were actually there.

Wait would Nadia actually be Viv's great aunt? Honestly the whole Hank Pym/Vision/Maximoff family alignment is kind of screwy to follow at times

If you view Ultron as Hank Pym's son, and the Vision as Ultron's son then that's how it would more or less work out. Ultron would be Nadia's brother, the Vision (as well as Victor Mancha) would be her nephews, and Viv would be her Grand-Niece.
