We Already Know How To Die: New X-Men Appreciation 2019

[Digifiend]

There are always some twists or particularities to be added to a powerset. Especially with young mutants whose power is growing.

Rubbermaid could have the ability to be more resistant the more she stretches.
Or she could have been specialized into tying people up or constricting them. Maybe with the ability to even bind intangible beings.

Dryad could have been the Kurama/Usopp of New X-Men. Carrying several seeds, including some from Tabula Rasa or alien worlds, that she could throw at people and make grow into plants.

Tag could have been able to tag objects. Tag "repulsion" to a door and nobody can go through it. Tag "attraction" to a hand grenade and people go fetch it, even if it explodes in their face.

But the biggest waste will always be DJ's powers.

BTW, I checked the wikia and the powers of the depowered mutants are not listed. It's just a "none, they were depowered"
Was it always like that or did somebody remove the power descriptions? Why not list them as "former powers"?

Scroll down. There is a Former Powers box below the power grid one.

Pariah Effect: Tag had a very unusual psionic ability. He was capable of tagging a person making the person become "it." When he touched someone he used a form of telepathy that caused them to emit a psionic signal making them a target for others to run away from or to run toward. He could choose the number of people who would be affected by this strange "tag" game.

Once during a training session he "tagged" Hellion of his squad making the new mutants squad run away from him while leaving his teammates unaffected.

The effect stopped when the victim or victims reached a distance of about 100 feet or so. This "tag" game could also work the other way around making all the people want to run toward the person he "tagged" and crumbling all together on top of the person "tagged".

The person "tagged" wasn't affected by his powers but all the others that he chose were compelled to do so without choice and usually they were fully aware of what was happening but weren't able to control themselves. His powers also worked in other ways like "tagging" a person to run away from himself if he desired him to do so. In this manner he "tagged" a person and the person just started to run away with no control whatsoever and he didn't even know why. When he touched someone he always said "you´re it!".

Thanks for pointing it.

Cool that we saw some of the dead X-kids on that “Every Mutant Ever” Bagley cover. You can see it here: https://i2.wp.com/www.adventuresinpo...-minbagley.jpg

I’d say that this could possibly relate to HOXPOX/Dawn of X in some way but idk

[Beetle]

Anole looks like the effing Impossible Man.

I swear it's getting worse

Victor is morphing and he’s not going back. Rockslide is back to his gray Thing look.

THAT WAS HIM?!?!? I thought he was some obscure villain. They keep doing him so wrong.

That whole cover is just definitive proof that Marvel doesn't bother giving its artists references to work from. I hope that changes now that JDW is talking about how coordinated the Dawn of X stuff is supposed to be.

I mean I assume so, we've seen him with ugly asparagus head enough times by now that I just assume any green skinned mutant with a deformed head is just the latest devolution of Victor

Most of the other main New and Young X-Men were there, even Laurie, Wither, Onyxx, Quill and Wolfcub. Forgetting Anole would be a big oversight

Fucking Julian

Being Anime Extra as usual

For some reason, I always thought Julian was blonde. I didn't read most of the runs he is in. I don't know why.

Its because its his archtype

Draco Malfoy: Rich, elitists, misguided bully, Blonde

Johnny Lawrence: Rich, SoCal, misunderstood/misguided bully, Blonde

Flash Thompson: Misguided/misunderstood bully, jock, blonde


Funny thing Is I always kinda HC's that Julian dyes his hair black

[Digifiend]

lol, if he was really blond, wouldn't he have embraced it? The guy was a big Emma fan when he started out, that's why he's called Hellion.

Yeah, the only ones missing from the core two Academy X teams are Wind Dancer and Tag, right? Which is very odd considering Sofia was that book's main star prior to Decimation (when Surge took over as the lead in New X-Men and Sofia was written out).

[CGAR]

Do we know why kyost didnt like Wind Dancer? Pretty sure she was gonna be killed off at one point in their run.

Esme and Sophie have a nice time out with their mum in House of X #3. Absolute recommend.
