What's your guess on the identity of this mutant?

[Hi-Fi]

Maybe Beak?? Or Dani??

Anyway, I think I'll be getting this book. Looks like fun.

[Pach!]

I'm guessing Dani, because aren't her powers something along the line of showing you your fears or something like that? The name Trauma seems similar to that.

[Xanrn]

Well once you know what Trauma's powers are, becomes alot easier to guess.

[Nyssane]

Phantazia. :) Or Dani.

[Cayman]

I'm gonna vote Dani mainly because I love her and would really like to see her again. It would be interesting to know what Trauma can do.

[Beast]

Yeah, definatly likely to be Dani. Also nice to see Beast outside the X-Books. :D

[Joe Acro]

I hate these kinds of ads. If it's someone I like and would be willing to buy the comic to see, I want them to tell me. As it is, all they've managed to do is make me have to wait until it comes out... assuming I remember.

[drwho]

Is trauma that lousy night thrasher villain? I posted a pic in another thread.

[caney]

I agree that it would be great to see Dani again. Just to be different I'll guess that it'll be Jubilee.

[The Fury]

Where's the option for Jubilee?

[Cayman]

Where's the option for Jubilee?

It's in 'other'.

[Beast]

No, she's a new character. Who basically has similar powers to Dani.

[Cayman]

No, she's a new character. Who basically has similar powers to Dani.

Where do we find out about her?

[Beast]

Where do we find out about her?
It was mentioned in one of the interviews with Dan Slott. I think.

[Beast]

I can't find an interview where Dan talks about her powers.
But she's mentioned in Marvel Spotlight. Actually, it looks like Trauma is a guy. :D

Trauma: My favorite new character. He's the outcast teen. and his power is the most disturbing super hero powers I've ever come up with. [we're not gonna reveal it here, folks!]. He's the breakout, I can feel it!

[drwho]

Ok so if he has similar powers to Dani why the hell did they depower her. I hate when marvel pulls these stunts like they did in invaders where they killed the original human torch off again and replaced him with some female human torch robot. When will marvel learn?

[Karl H]

In the absence of my beloved Cece - I'm going for Dani

[streator]

moonstar. i don't know anything about trauma, though.

[Faded]

I voted Moonstar but I hadn't read the other Avengers solicits.

I think it'll crossover from New Warriors cuz WIND DANCER is in the MUTHAEFFIN HOUSE!

[TimGunn]

I think it might be Jubilee.

[Christopher O]

I think Dani's the best bet. For one thing, I can't imagine Jubilee or Beak being brought in to train anyone. They couldn't handle their own abilities much less someone else's. She just seems the most logical choice--not to mention the one I'd most like to see.

Tara actually replaced Toro rather than The Original Human Torch who didn't die until the final issue of The New Invaders.

[drwho]

I just think it is pointless to introduce a character with the same powers when you already had a likeable character with the same powers.

[Beast]

I think it might be Jubilee.
She's pretty much confirmed for Loners. So doubtful.

[The Lucky One]

Beast + Dan Slott = Beak.

-D

[Beast]

Beast + Dan Slott = Beak.

-D
It would be awesome if so. Another reason to kiss Dan Slott. ;) :D

[Jmacq1]

Dani makes the most sense:

A: Experience as a leader/teacher

B: Has worked with SHIELD before

C: Popular enough that she might get some folks to check out A:TI that wouldn't otherwise.

D: Sounds like this "Trauma's" powers might be similar to what Dani once had.

E: Dani is hot. More hot is always good.

*ahem*

But yeah, I think it's Dani.

[Haunt]

it'll be Moonstar, i'm guessing. i bet that Trauma can make people 'experience traumatic events' or maybe just make them relive a traumatic experience.

[Blackcat]

I think it wiil be Agent Zero, aka Marverick.

[Beast]

I think it wiil be Agent Zero, aka Marverick.
Why would Beast be associating with him?

[Faded]

We got our answer in the Battle Damage Report. It's Dani!!!!

[Brian M.]

Really? Wow...that's cool.

[Beast]

Woo Hoo!! Sorta lame that they blew the reveal in the book though. :p

[Cayman]

Hurrah! How was that book anyway?

[Faded]

Hurrah! How was that book anyway?

I'm still going through it, but its basically a sequel to the Civil War Files. I had no idea this was going to be a handbook type deal. Just lots of profiles and teases for some upcoming books (like codenames for those kids on the Initiative covers).

[Beast]

Even more interesting than the confirmation of who the character was...

Beast is listed as one of the actual Instructors for the 50 State Initiative.

Instructors: Ares, Beast (Henry "Hank" McCoy), Black Widow (Natasha Romanova), Gauntlet (indentity classified), Hellcat (Patsy Walker), Justice (Vance Astrovik), Ms. Marvel (Carol Danvers), Danielle Moonstar, Nighthawk (Kyle Richmond), She-Hulk (Jennifer Walters), Tigra (Greer Nelson), Wonder Man (Simon Williams).

Didn't the solicits already hint he was doing that as well?

[Beast]

Didn't the solicits already hint he was doing that as well?
No, just that he was bringing said confirmed character there to mentor Trauma.

I assumed it was just a cameo, not that he'd be taking a regular instructor position.
