Pitch A New X-Book

[King_Thor13]

X-Force
The Newer Mutants have been restored to their respective timelines, and Weapon X has been shut down. But the time has come again for a covert team of X-Men to assemble and to do whatever it takes to preserve the children of the atom. Cable leads an unlikely band of mutants as they face Reavers, U-Men, hoards of Predator X and countless other villains who pose a threat to mutantkind. But can this group put aside their differences, and forsake their past, as they fight for the future? Featuring:
Cable
Domino
Warpath
Boom-Boom
Blink
Adam-X
Daken
Siryn
Shatterstar
Rictor
Forge (as the support/tech guy)

Base of operations: The old Weapon X facility, repurposed in recent years by the Uncanny X-Men.

New Mutants
After the government shuts down Avengers Idea Mechanics and seizes their assets, the US Avengers are disbanded. Cannonball and Sunspot are without a purpose, and so seek out their friends with the idea of an epic road trip. Of course, they soon run into trouble as they stumble across Sugar Man and Dark Beast somehow repowering mutants. After the first arc, I imagine the New Mutants will pick up the unfinished business of the X-Men and their various splinter teams, with an official reformation of the team.

The initial roster:
Dani Moonstar
Cannonball
Sunspot
Magik
Magma
Wolfsbane
Karma
Cypher+Warlock (once again merged, resembling Cypher/Warlock in Age of X)
Husk

Crossover Event
X-Purge

Just when the dust had finally settled after secret wars and secret empire, and the time travel blue/gold event, certain mutants begin to feel increasingly ill - experiencing headaches and nausea, before passing out.
Old man Logan, Rachael, the original five, Bishop, Cable, the Ultimates, etc. Almost immediately after they are incapacitated strange abhorred creatures with strange abilities begin to attack attempting to capture and take the incapacitated away.
Some get taken, the X-teams fight others back. The X-Club work on trying to isolate the cause of the sickness and origin of the creatures and quickly manage to link all the victims as mutants who didn't originate in 'our' Earth's universe.
Tracking those taken back to their base of operations, the X-Men discover that the creatures originate from the void between parallel universes and are corrupted 'barrier guardians' who existed to prevent multiverse travelers who would meddle in other universe's time streams.

Originally created by Saturnyne, the creatures would lurk in the void, draining contaminant multiversal particle energy from those would attempt to cross to protect the barriers. They particularly developing a taste for mutants as they typically had the most multiverse incursions. Trevor Fitzroy, surviving being cut in half by his own portal by bishop, ended up in the void and came to an understanding with them. He would create portals for them to travel through to the different universes, where they would purge all multiversal contaminants, draining not only the containment particles, but their life force too. This would leaving the world 'pure' and no longer a threat to multiverse stability. With the events of Secret Wars, Trevor and purgers saw their barriers break down and with the end approaching they sought refuge in reformed 616, seeking vengeance on those they blame for having to leave their home, with Trevor seeking personal vengeance on Bishop and the X-Men.

The creatures and the X-men Fight. Trevor loses control over the creatures and they consume several of the minor multiversal characters nobody cares about ( Future brotherhood, X-Treme X-Men's refugees, etc) and seem unbeatable. Trevor flees and Bishop goes to give chase through Trevors portal which leads a few creatures in tow. Cable realizes that the multiversal contaminants have to leave 616 in order to protect it and get the creatures to leave. He rallies the survivors and leads them through the portal into the unknown with the creatures following - spinning off into a new Exiles book.

Featuring the departure of:

• Bishop
• Cable
• Rachel Summers
• Old Man Logan
• The Original Five
• Future Brotherhood
• Nocturne
• X-Man
• Blink (AoA)
• Jimmy Hudson & The Ultimates
• Kymera
• Dark Beast
• And all other Non-616 Mutants!

Pick several of those to be the survivors and throw them into a new Exiles book.

A mysterious individual brings together X-Men from across the multiverse with the goal of traversing different realities and helping/healing them in whatever way they can. But these individuals aren't very like minded, and the tasks they've been set are suspicious. Who are the eXiles working for, and what do they hope to gain? The cast would be as follows (though keep in mind, like the original eXiles, the roster is subject to change:
Old Man Logan (torn from Earth Prime in the MU)
Blink (Age of Apocalypse)
Nocturne (Earth 2182)
Ruby Summers (Earth 1191)
Basilisk (Cyclops Age of X)
The Fallen (Arch/angel Earth 1298)
Skullfire (X-Men 2099)
Quicksilver (Ultimate)

Brah... (^_^) you just sold me a comic book. I'm dying for more Basilisk and Ultimate Quicksilver. I had to look ruby summers up, and I'd forgotten skullfire but. I'm all in on this one.

On second thought... I'd rather see Calvin Rankin back. I miss that guy.

I'm glad you like it. It's really just a compilation of my fav alternate-earth X-Men. I think they have some pretty cool powers and distinctive aesthetics, and I'd be very eager to see their interactions.

I like Mimic too, but I'm not sure he'd fit here.

Superior X-Men
After the fall of New Tian, Emma Frost is once again at a loss for her place in this world - is she a hero? A villain? Somewhere in between? Not even she is sure, at this point, but she is sure of one thing: she is an X-Man, through and through, and she believes that the world isn't giving them the shot that they deserve. They, and mutant kind in general, deserve to be treated better; so, in light of this, she forms her own team of X-Men based out of the derelict former island home of the X-Men, Utopia. Their mission statement is to prove to the world that mutantkind, and the X-Men, deserve to be revered and respected by dealing with extinction-level threats - for the entire world. But, as with all things Frost, are things truly as clear cut as they seem?

Featuring:
Emma Frost, the White Queen
Sean Cassidy, Banshee
Joanna Cargill, Frenzy
Shiro Yoshida, Sunfire
Illyana Rasputin, Magik
James Bradley, Dr Nemesis
Raven Darkholme, Mystique

New Mutants
They say that the blood of the covenant is thicker than the water of the womb, and for the New Mutants, that's true. It's hard to keep good friends apart, and after Cannonball's recent near death experience, he has decided to reconnect with the people that mean the most to him, and go on a soul searching road trip - from one end of the United States to the other, to infinity and beyond. They will encounter shenanigans of all kinds thanks to the interstellar teleportation powers of one Lila Cheney, who is currently on her intergalactic tour throughout the universe!

Featuring:
Samuel Guthrie, Cannonball
Danielle Moonstar, Mirage
Roberto DaCosta, Sunspot
Xi'an Coy Manh, Karma
Douglas Ramsey + Warlock, Douglock
Amara Aquilla, Magma
Rahne Sinclair, Wolfsbane
Tabitha Smith, Boom Boom
Isabel Kane-Guthrie, Smasher

Pretty cool...except Cable is from the 616 originally, even though he was raised in the future. So he gets to remain based on that technicality.

X-Men Rebirth



The X-Men Cross Over event begins with Jean Grey, still in the white hot room, watching her many selves across the multiverse, as the Phoenix Force, finally recollected after the events of AVX, returns to her safe house, the core of the creation.



Jean then discovers a powerful (plot device ) cosmic level threat and lures the force to remerge with her, taking control and returning to her beloved 616 earth.



after 6 overpriced issues, with great art, jean finally pleads the force to leave her, not before restoring her dearest acquaintances’s status quo: Cylcops, Wolverine, Xavier and the entire Grey’s Family are back to life, and putting a end to the original five fiasco.

Forge and Banshee as recurring staff characters.



I’d pitch the blue team against mutant hate- bigotry – such as Purifiers, Bastion, Sentinels, Rogue Government entities, while the gold team would fight traditional evil mutants, such as Sinister, Stryfe, Mojo etc..



In the first issue of X-Men Blue, the team would be in a rescue mission against the Purifiers, who would be in possession of several mutant hosts and enhanced sentinels, made out of Ninrod remains implanted in cult members volunteers. Among the prisoners, some famous faces, such as Dazzler, Elixir, Polaris, deprived or their powers with genoshan power inhibiting collars and innumerous d-list or unidentified mutant causalities. The team would split in two, with cyclops, wolverine an nightcrawler fighting the setinels and psylocke, rogue and gambit, penetrating the facilities to rescue the remaining mutants end evacuate the space. They eventually find a seriously injured Hank Mccoy and an almost sunburnt-to-death vampire jubilee crucified in front of a stained glass religious panel. Betsy then sends a telepathically distress call to kurt, urging him to teleport elixir to their exact location. While Beats is easily restored to health, Elixir reports something to be wrong with jubes, as she remain locked in stasis. Psylocke takes elixir into a psychic journey to jubilee’s mind where they find a fraction of the phoenix force, in the form of the firefly we saw in Phoenix endsong, traped in the window glass of Jubilee’s Beverly hills house. They find out that the Phoenix Force was to restore Jubilee’s status quo as a mutant in the X-men Rebirth mini, but got stuck in a glitch since Jubes was wearing the mutant gene inhibitor collar as well. (God Jubilee, for how long have you been kept in here, betsy thinks, suggesting that jubes has been there since before the phoenix incident before the reboot.) Betsy than telekinetically removes the collar, allowing the phoenix force to conclude its job. They are abruptly interrupted by wolverine being blasted through the wall by a super charged sentinel, the entire team engages in a fight with the sentinels and when wolverine’s head is about to be blown by a point-blank range energy blast by a sentinel, the cyborg is exploded by a familiar energy signature and we get surprised by full page spread of a bad ass jubilee with her glowing/sparkling fists, back to her roots as the energy blasting mutant we missed so much.

[RAWRlrus]

I'd like to see an Emma solo as it hasn't really been done before (except for those couple of flashback arcs that really don't count). After the reveal that the Emma from DoX/IvX was really a Skrull (easy out of this mess for the X-office), the X-men offer Emma a spot on the team, she declines because she's been enjoying vacation too much. But in reality it's because she's more hurt than she would want to let on that they really thought it was her. Instead of going on vacation she takes a more secretive role in helping the X-men.

[Victorian_Soul]

We were given a solo for Emma detailing her origins but it was cancelled due to low sales.

[RAWRlrus]

We were given a solo for Emma detailing her origins but it was cancelled due to low sales.

I know about that. I'm arguing that it doesn't really count (and that a new solo would do better) because that was just flashbacks. And actual solo I think would do better.

[Geek Mangacomic]

Old Man Logan: The Gauntlet
[I]This would be a mini-series of 6-7 issues. Old Man Logan would be in a bar that he goes to every Friday night. He's chugging down some beer, as usual, and Scorcher bursts into the bar, burning a dozen people to a crisp, and proceeds to attack Logan. After Logan beats him, with much difficulty, he asks why he attacked him, and he tells him that an anonymous figure put out a bounty on Logan. The series would then proceeds to be about Logan trying out who put a bounty out on him (who would be revealed to be Mysterio), as he fights out villains trying to make some cash, who would be:
Absorbing Man (Could possibly absorb Logan's adamantium.)
Ghost (Logan won't be able to just stab him to beat him.)
Shocker (Electricity+Metal Bones=Bad)
Klaw (With his sonic emitter, and Logan's heightened senses, Logan would have a bad time)
Mysterio (His Illusions should be a challenge, and the confrontation would be great)

The point of the reboot would be restoring the classic feelings of the 90's to the x-franchise.

The opening sequence would have the x-men interrupting the cult session, seting the mood of the series through the dialogues of one by one...

Wolverine breaks trough the facility, slicing things and threating to kill everyone for their deeds.
Enters Psylocke high kicking and psy-stabbing everyone, telling logan that, as terrorists, kidnappers and illegal weapon carriers, they would have enough punishment by the US laws, so they should leaving all the killing behind
Then gambit, while blowing things up, ironically states that he has the feeling not even betsy was buying that ****
A flying Rogue vouches for betsy, telling that her friend just like almost everyone else in the team has followed dark paths but deserves credibility as a true hero
Cyclops ratifies telling that they all had a second chance as x-men and the blue team now has a chance to shine again, living up for the dream, bigger an better than formerly.
Thats when kurt teleports in, jokely stating that he didn't have the chance to join the blue team in its first lineup, but he is now there to keep everyone in check...


So the x-men would be back with a classic feeling, acting truly heroic again.... <3

That is true, so he can stay. Though with all of his travelling, I'm sure he's tainted by plenty of multiversal contaminants, and he does make a perfect leader to lead the new exiles!

Shocker (Electricity+Metal Bones=Bad)

Except Shocker doesn't use electricity. He creates vibrational shockwaves like after an earthquake happens or a bomb goes off. He's more a character like Avalanche, Rictor or Vibe. Maybe use Electro instead.
