So from all the characters out there that have been involved in the X-Men one way or the other which ones do you feel would most likely return in the oh i feel betrayed and the x-men left me out to dry and now I want revenge storyline. Think Maddie pryor as an example.

I am going with with Kitty as i mentioned else where returning pissed off cus the X-Men just let her shoot through space.

I will also go with Hellion. This guy was made the next big thing and his ego was all propped up and then he was thrown to limbo.

So who do you think from X-Men's past would possibly return in this type of storyline?

Kitty did what she did a a sacrifice; she didn't expect the x-men to come after her; espically since it's pretty impossible for them to do anything to help her.

To be honest, I was disappointewd they didn't go this way with Gambit after Antarctica. Instead they neutered him to help continue the abominable romance with Rogue and the character hasn't been worth a damn ever since.

Chamber: He almost died and they all knew M-Day was Wanda's fault, but they just left him there in the hospital with a gaping hole in his face and chest.

Seriously, it took Apocalypse's blood to save him. And with all the Shi'ar crap Xavier's got/had, it took Weapon X to rebuild his face. Chamber has gotten more from bad guys than he has from the heroes who are supposed to be his friends.

Yeah, I know he's over in New Warriors, but I'd rather see him pissed at the X-Men.

Bishop: After everyone realizes he was right about the baby, and he ends it's life.

Cecilia Reyes: After not wanting to be involved, she ends up in Neverland, and no one really tries very hard to save her.

Berzerker.

No body was ever recovered. Cyclops effectively killed him, and left him for dead, and last he knew, Cyke and X-Factor tried to hold them at their headquarters, and then when recovering them, helped his girlfriend be shot by police.

That'd be a revenge story, right there.

Polaris/Havok/Rachel - with all the space travel the team has done over the years no one's even attempted a search & rescue? They just assume they'll eventually make it back to Earth in one piece? Plus Polaris should be at the breaking point with the X-Men by now--they've neglected her for years. Despite being green-haired she's treated like an ugly red-headed step child.

Dazzler - after the whole Seige Perilous thing, Forge & Banshee spent about 1/8th of an issue searching for her and then apparently gave up. All the other X-men (save for Longshot who left on his own) were found and brought back into the fold. Then she was left in a struggling/constantly at war dimension with the X-Men never coming for help or to check up. Not...good...team...politics!

Gambit - the whole Alaskan thing was just...bizarre. Especially when you consider that they later had the likes of MARROW on the team. He should shove that bo staff up some of the X-Men's asses--dry.

How about Leech? I believe he and Artie went to live with the St. Croixs after Gen X ended? No one bothered to check up on him after he was kidnapped and abused by Weapon X. He escaped somehow, no thanks to the X-Men, and ended up sleeping outside in the 198 compound. There was no room inside the mansion, of course, for this young child who was once cared for by the X-Men and had suffered a lifetime of abuse and tragedy. After the 198 left, Leech went to go live in the sewers, where he was mistreated again. Did the X-Men offer to enroll him in the school? Did they offer to bring him back to a de-powered Artie, wherever he is? Back with the St. Croixs? Who knows.

The same thing happened when Artie and Leech and were kidnapped by Gene Nation in the mid-90's. No one seemed to know, or care, that they were missing until it was thrown in their face.

It's pretty obvious that no writer wants to take the time to deal with back stories of Artie and Leech lately, but in the process it makes the X-Men look like complete a-holes.

Leech, and Artie to a lesser extent, need to get a little older and become major supervillians that want revenge on the X-Men for all their years of neglect.

Sorry, Artie Maddicks was listed as depowered by M-Day on the big screen in New Avengers #18. He's still alive out there somewhere, sans powers. He was never even at Neverland, to my knowledge.

Agreed. The Starjammers haven't been heard of for months and Cyclops hasn't even bothered to try to communicate with them, a team consisting of his brother, his brother's girlfriend and his alternate daughter, it's so bad... and it looks worse, realistically kind of even disgusting, knowing what he's been spending his time doing in Uncanny.

I don't want the Starjammers to somehow return to Earth all set on revenge, I just don't think the reunion should be a happy one. I think we know what would happen if Cyclops tried to casually greet his brother.

Emma had such high hopes for Hellion. She favored him and constantly gave him special treatment, yet he was a complete let down. Add being a bully to his fellow students on top of that and it's no wonder that he was abandoned.

08-19-2008, 09:48 AM

Hellion has a history of abandonment issues though. His parents, Sophia, now the X-Men. Usually people with egoes the size of Julian's are trying to compensate for something, and for Julian that something is his sense of abandoment.

He'd finally begun to bring down his shields and open up, and then he's abandoned all over again. I do have some sympathy for him.

I wouldn't want to see him become a villain though, I'd rather see him go join The Initiative. Maybe have Slott and Gage feature him in that Avengers title for a bit. Then Stark can put him on a California team, kind of a metaphorical middle finger to Cyclops. That way you can have Hellion have conflict with the X-folks without being an out and out bad guy.

Seikun21

08-19-2008, 09:52 AM

I agree. If Hellion was really a power player the X-Men would have let him know they were scouting for a new base and just didn't know where yet. The kids all acted stupid durin the transition to SF. So they were told it was over. Go do something else! It's ridiculous I think. And it's not like the X-Men aren't letting them join them now. They are. The kids are just Emo and dramatic.

Editorial and the Writers all messed up the kids POV during Divided We Stand. They made it seem as if the X-men completely abandoned them and left them to fend for themselves while the X-men went on vacation. Now a few months/weeks later Cyclops calls them all back and tells them to move the San Francisco.

I just hope the months of brutal torture hasn't totally broken her psyche again, but yes I agree that Lorna should be at the breaking point with the X-Men by now. The only reason they reluctantly allowed her to stay around is Havok, but without him around Cyke, Emma, and Wolverine were more then happy to try to put her down permanently in HoM. They didn't know if she was part of creating HoM and they didn't really care if she was or wasn't part of it. They simply were going to kill her and the rest of Magneto's family, because they were tried of dealing with them.

She was miserable the whole time she was in the group. She was with them cause she had no other choice. I thought her resurection gave her a happy ending. There's also rumors her new found soothing light powers were meant to play a role defeating the Shadow King.

I'm sure there's an Orphanage near by that will accept them. timbox will know more about this process. Really though, the X-Brats aren't needed at the Green Base. Their are plenty of talents their already and no one's teaching there so the kids need to either A) Go home to mom and dad until they are older B) Live in an orphanage C) Get fake ID's and grow up faster or D) jump off the Golden Gate Bridge ala Wing. I vote for D for most of them.

No. She has no reason to complain. She is a wacko who sided with Apocalypse and was given "a second chance" by the X-Men during the suicide mission to space. She's lucky that Emma and Logan didn't put her down; but the Professor is sadly softer than many of the others.

She needs to be put on the Young X-Men team for Re-Training and so she can be around people who are so pointlessly dramatic as she is!

Perhaps Scott and Emma know she's there and they've left her there on purpose because it's the best place for her. Havok is left there in case she gets better, so someone can watch her and Rachel....no one likes Rachel. This explains fully to me why the X-Men don't care about the Starjammers.

Seriously. Use your mutant power to actually better your life. Are you telling me Hellion would really have a hard time fending for himself? Sure they might be alone and scared at first, but when they get hungry enough, they'll start getting clever with their powers and find a way to get what they need.

They could always go into the system and try to get into a foster home, but they really shouldn't need to. Form their own little NYX or Runaways group and take care of themselves like they should.

And I doubt she'd have played a role in the SK saga--she was actually written off into limbo at Silvestri's request to keep Claremont from killing her off as he originally intended to in the Master Mold battle.

re: Polaris--after Genosha and the way she was tossed aside in the past, her craziness is fitting. The X-Men let her re-join because they're secretly scared of her :tongue: I think she should have a heart-to-heart with them sometime though, she's always been one of the most neglected members.

Going around for weeks and weeks among millions of dead and rotting bodies (God only knows what she ate or drank) was not good at all for her mind just as I am sure months of brutal torture currently isn't good for her mind.

They should take lessons from Jubilee. She lived in a foster home and thought it sucked so she bailed and lived in the Hollywood Mall, surviving for months on her own. These New X-Kids can't hang with the classic younger mutants. They're so coddled and self-absorbed it's disgusting.

I'm getting the feeling that maybe Hisako should have been on that bus.

Hisako is no fool. She probably knew the bus would explode so she avoided it. Not to mention Hisako doesn't ride buses. Since she's one of Ms.Frost's special pupils she goes everywhere in a stretch limo.

After Dazzler vanished there was a story arc of Forge and Banshee looking for the missing X-Men and that arc ended when the Shadowking Saga happened. They didn't stop looking for Dazzler, they dealt with a situation. Not long after that they re-grouped and re-formed and then found Dazzler in X-Men Vol. 2 # 6 or something like that. She wasn't gone that long and she didn't want to stay with the X-Men when they found her. She made her own decisions. Don't try to blame the X-Men for her poor choices (which have included wearing Rollerskates in battle and dying her hair pink).

Emma managed to survive and make her way back to the X-Men on her own and without being coddled. Lorna just panicked and freaked out. The X-Men don't need panicky morons running around the base.

They were going to look for her then abandoned doing so until she later found them.

My roller skating skills are undisputed. As a 26 year old, we didn't even have roller blades at our skating rinks till I was like 11. I have skills on the wheels. As far as the X-Men not being able to resuce their friends...remember, the Shi'ar jump gates were destroyed by Vulcan. It's not easy for them to get back to shi'ar space and ave their friends. And I don't think the X-Men knew Dazzler was in Mojo World. They don't really have access to that place either. The X-Men know that their members can take care of themselves. They get rid of the members who can't (like the New X-Men). They knew Dazz would turn up one day. Plus, it seems like Dazzler had the ability to return to earth. Why didn't she look for the X-Men? That's pretty shitty too. To not let your friends know where you are. She's just as guilty. Telephones are a two way street.

They did not think "we should probably try to find her." They accidentally found her. I'm sure they assumed she was dead along with 16 million other people, not running around in the nude screaming at imaginary people.

They didn't find her by accident. They finally decided mount a rescue mission for her several weeks after Genosha was destoryed.

I thought the only reason they mounted that mission was because they sensed her sending out nutso radio waves from her head? I can't remember. That issue was a long time ago, and probably Grant Morrison's weakest.

Actually, they just stopped in on thier way to India, Jean says so claiming it may not have been a good idea. Xavier claims everyone needed to see Genosha for themselves. They didn't specifically go there looking for Polaris. Once they arrive, Unus mentioned she may still be alive. They didn't think she was alive. Why would they? Also, Thunderbird, Sabra nd Lifeguard were all their already searching through the rubble for survivors. Genosha wasn't left alone, X-Corp's was taking care of that situation.

She was using massive amounts of electromagnetic energy for weeks, while playing in her head the last memories recorded by Magneto from the brainwaves (which are electromagnetic) of the Genoshan population. She spent weeks among millions of dead bodies going over in her head their deaths one by one.

But, yes it was the massive amount of EM energy she was putting off that led the X-Men to her as well as Unus saying he saw a green ghost.

My roller skating skills are undisputed. As a 26 year old, we didn't even have roller blades at our skating rinks till I was like 11. I have skills on the wheels.

then why hate the skates? They should provide a nice little nostalgia factor. Nostalgia = good, comforting.

LOL. I bow to your persuasive argument. :redface:

Skates are awesome and fun, but not for battling super villians. All they have to do is head for the stairs. It'd be like having Professor X be at all the battles when he was in his chair.

Oh a jab to the handicapped...tsk tsk.

And speaking of Roller Skates, have you ever been to Sonic? They get my food out in record time! Yay for skates!

Surge should be really pissed off for abandoning her and also giving someone who can't handle it so much responsibility and making her feel like it was her fault that the x-men barely raised a finger to save them from the purifiers.

The kids snuck off to fight the Purifiers. How were the X-Men supposed to raise a finger to help them?

Deadly Genesis would have made a lot more sense if the villain had ended up being a resurrected Changeling. A case could be made for that guy having a grudge against Xavier.

not only did Xavier endanger Shortpack by partnering him with a terrorist (known for stabbing people in the back), he left him just outside of Niagra Falls w/ a broken leg. never even checked up on the guy that had been doing his dirty work.

Quicksilver has the right to hate them all for ruining his alterna-world buzz. Now that he has his speed back, it's time to lay down the smack down! Wait! That time was five seconds ago! And he already did! Go Pietro Go!

FORGE

He's always been treated bad by the X-teams, and in his time of need/recovery after Messiah Complex, he was alone, it would have been nice to see Storm being concerned for him since they did have a thing one time. He's been underappreciated, and when on the X-men in the 90s, he wasnt really listened to. Plus he sort of is losing his mind. The X-men come to him when they need something, but when he needs help, nothing, like during New X-men and the whole Nimrod thing, everyone was too concerned with Storm's wedding. Plus Forge knows magic, that should be interesting.
