How to introduce Spyke (Evan Daniels) to the 616 X-Men

[Pharozonk]

What's the point of him if we already have Marrow?

He's actually likable unlike Marrow.

I thought they did introduce him as a member of X-statixs. I remember him being a bit older than the cartoon version and a pretty big racist.

I actually prefer his comic counter part, Marrow.

Same here. No to Spyke joining the 616, There is already enough detritus seeping into the X-Men comics as is. I don't need to be reminded of that with a poor man's Marrow.

[Kal-El Summers]

Ugh, no thanks.

[Godzilla2099]

I rather they introduce MjNari into the 616 universe.

He already has been in canon but as a baby in the Life and Death II story. So maybe he is the perfect age to be a teenage mutant.

Here is the info about the elder MjNari who the baby MjNari was named after. http://www.comicvine.com/mjnari/4005-67710/

I'd prefer this. MjNari's relationship to Ororo felt more organic. I wasn't a fan of Spike. I found him too one dimensional.

Lets not and say we did! I do like the MjNari idea though! X-Men 90's cartoon foreva!

I personally found Spyke much more interesting than MjNari.

MjNari was a great kid. Totally more developed and well rounded than Spike, and he was only in, what, two X-Men TAS episodes. Besides, Chris Claremont helped write some of those X-Men TAS episodes, and the rest were almost direct, word for word adaptations of his stories. X-Men TAS was watching the X-Men comics on TV!

Oh yeah. Storm's godson with one of the most common superpowers a character can get. If Spyke is a "poor man's Marrow," MjNari is a poor man's Quicksilver.

Which is why Bishop went back in time for DOFP instead of Kitty.

No he didn't. When his name showed up in the credits, it was because the stories they were writing were adaptations of his work.

TAS Nightcrawler was COMPLETELY unlike his comic book counterpart, having none of the swashbuckling fun he'd had under Claremont in UXM OR Excalibur.

Jubilee was heavily watered-down, becoming basically early 80s Kitty Pryde with a Jubilee reskin. Since Claremont created both characters, he would have been able to write the two of them differently.

Jean Grey, one of Claremont's favorite characters who became one of the strongest X-Men in history under his pen, was reduced to so much fainty arm-candy in TAS.

And Ororo was hardly ever referred to as anything but 'Storm', and given a comparative handful of focus episodes, where under Claremont's run in the comics, she became the most prominent black female superhero in comic history.

You mean this Chris Claremont writing Ororo as the most prominent Black female in comic book history?

wHAT DID I WATCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!????????

[fod_xp]

Yeah, Chris Claremont is totally obsessed with sexualizing women, which isn't a bad thing. But he does it with mind swapping, possession, mind control, BDSM torture, and other really weird fetishes. He's not as bad as the writer of The Giving Tree. His child poems and writing were so pornographic they were first published in Playboy Magazine.

[Ingonyama]

Oh look, I can do it too.

Yes, I know Ororo can be hardcore. Thanks for pointing out she's Diva Goddess and not to be messed with. ♥
