Help a Brutha' Out: Brotherhood Recruitment Drive

[Faded]

I don't feel like Appreciating right now, so I thought I'd make a fluffy, fun poll.

Now that The Blob is depowered and Pyro is dead, who do you see as potential recruits for a new lineup?

http://img22.imageshack.us/img22/1815/brotherhooda.jpg
Ladies Mastermind, Mystique's right-hand woman(s)?

The Acolytes, the Brohood's now-disbanded sister group?

Sunfire, former X-Man who is angry forsomereason?

Lorelei Travis, who...dances?

Hellion/Quentin Quire and Match, bad boys who need guidance?

Daken, the breakout superstar?

Vanisher, X-Force's van-on-a-leash?

Typhoid Mary, who is also not Jean Grey?

Poklaris, the green witch?

Other - I hate you, Faded because I want to be you and/or you forgot to include Briquette.

I also wanted to include Johnny Kitano (http://www.comicvine.com/johnny-kitano/29-4283/) (who would probably have to be forced to work with Mystique), The Host, or Thumbelina as a Blob replacement but I figured ya'll wouldn't know who they were.

Hell, ya'll probably don't know who all these nobodies (ed. I say this with love) are anyway.

Pulse and Gambit are some possiblities, too, if you wanna go B-List.

Vote.

<3

(Just so you guys know, I did do a search and didn't see anything for ten pages so I don't want to hear your noise).

Fuck I forgot the poll.

lolololo sorry lovely!

[Home made ectoplasm]

Fuck I forgot the poll.

You should still be able to edit one in.

What is the cute Hellion / Match pic from?

[Bronze Badger]

Who's Poklaris?

[Come To Deathstrike]

Out of these: Lorelei.

[Personamanx]

Though I like him in the X-men I could see him as a Brotherhood member. Hellion that is......

[soul_eater]

I could see Hellion joining, he would properly fell at home.

[Cayman]

Quentin, the Lady M's, Wither, and Carter Ghazikhanian.

[alf_to_the_rescue]

Lady Mastermind. She can do no wrong, in my eyes.

[Faded]

EFF YOOH.

It wouldn't let me! :(

The pic is from two different fanarts I smooshed together.

Who's Poklaris?

Green-haired lady.

[Azure]

I want to be Faded, but that's neither here nor there. If you want The Brotherhood to match the lineup of The Sisterhood, you will need: John Sublime, Exodus, The Presence, Swarm, Donald Pierce, aaannnnnnnnd... I dunno, Vincente?

[Something Other]

Best description of Sunfire ever.

I vote for Match & Hellion, since they come as a two-for-one deal in this post.

[Justin K.]

I hate that Martinique was not included.
She was in a brotherhood that included Pyro, Avalanche, and Blob

[Home made ectoplasm]

Go to "thread tools" at the top right of your first post and then "add poll to this thread" from the drop down menu.

[Hakael]

I'd love to see Exodus take on some of the younger mutants for training/guidance (Hellion, Match, etc), but I don't see starting a new Brotherhood as being productive for him, or anyone for that matter, with the current state of affairs.

Its a regression for him, and takes away what Carey did for him at the end of the Xavier arc in Legacy.

[Faded]

You're amazing. :)

And I can't believe I didn't know that.

[timbox]

Good job, Faded.

[Obsidian Thought]

Hellion, Mastermind and Acolytes (Frenzy, Unuscione, Random), Avalanche led by a driven and determined Mystique.

[CmX]

Sunfire and Hellion work better as villians IMO it makes them more interesting like it did for Bishop.

[Hakael]

Sunfire and Hellion work better as villians IMO it makes them more interesting like it did for Bishop.

I don't see how it makes them any more interesting... in fact, i think it would make them less so unless they're given a valid reason to turn and goals to achieve. Julian's always been borderline on the mutant supremacy issue, and Sunfire has a temper and honor issues, but they're not bad in any sense.

If the Brotherhood comes back as a true alternative to the X-Men instead of immediate antagonists, then I'll support it... if not, then it doesn't make sense for them to be there.

[Faded]

I hate that Martinique was not included.
She was in a brotherhood that included Pyro, Avalanche, and Blob

She was included under Ladies Mastermind, but if she was indeed already a member I shouldn't have included her. I tried choosing people who haven't been members yet.

I agree.

Hellion straddled the fence long enough to play up the whole undecided thing, but there are too many X-Kids playing hero.

Sunfire I think makes a more exciting villain, but he has no strong motivation. He lacked a certain quality to him for a while, but I like the idea of him working with Mystique again.

I know, I'm just opportunistic and bring her up when the topic seems right :P

[Perfection/Emma 2]

Who cares about The Brotherhood? It's all about The Sisterhood. All the MU villainess needs to team up and kicking some ass

[Jack Flash]

I'd love to see Gypsy Moth join a Brotherhood group. Or Nekra!

and Quentin! That'd be awesome sauce!

My Ideal New Brotherhood:
Mystique
Avalanche
Quentin Quire
Empath
Gypsy Moth
Nekra
Blindspot (Mystique's new love interest)
Adam X

Replace Blindspot with Destiny and add Lorelei. Then we have deal yes.

[Novaya Havoc]

Martinique.

She is seething ♥.


My ideal brotherhood:

- Quicksilver
- Martinique
- Toad
- Blob
- Phantazia
- Domino
- Avalanche
- Pyro

[Robbiebob_16]

Hellion/Match as a rwo for one. Or Lorelei because she's just that cool. By the way is the Attilan Queen Medusa a cheap rip off of Lorelei, or is it the other way around?:tongue:

[XaviersMisprint]

Lorelei Travis, Hellion, Match, Sunfire... they all work.

I love Lorelei.

[Perfection/Emma 2]

Martinique is a must to everything evil. She makes being bad so good:evilsmile:

[Supercoolshay]

I hate that Martinique was not included.


Martinique > Regan

I think I just fell in love. You have no idea.

I thought of a fun Brotherhood that consists mainly of mutants unassociated with X-Men except for a few.

Whirlwind
Nekra
Gypsy Moth
Ursa Major
Toad
Lorelei
Avalanche
Collective Man


Imagine how FIERCE this team would be.

[Obsidian Thought]

I agree XM with the idea of some new faces in the next Brotherhood...and throw in two to three old ones...

[XaviersMisprint]

I agree XM with the idea of some new faces in the next Brotherhood...and throw in two to three old ones...

It has to stay recognizable, so either Magneto, Mystique, Toad, Avalanche, or Blob must be there. One or all, doesn't matter.


I prefer Toad nd Avalanche, maybe Phat Blawb if he would come back.

[Puunk]

Someome made a suggested in the 'New X-Men Discussion Thread' about Prodigy and the Stepford Cuckoos forming a Brotherhood on their own. I love it! I'm still all-for it.

But here, Regan, Martinique, Daken and the Vanisher get my vote.

[Nyssane]

My ideal Brotherhood:

Mystique -- leader, more like her Freedom Force days.
Avalanche -- Mystique's second-in-command and best (only) friend.
Mastermind -- resident telepath/illusionist.
Toad -- because it'd be fun to see him and Martinique together.
Frenzy -- team powerhouse, I could see her following Mystique now that the Acolytes are over; she replaces Blob.
Sunfire -- he needs somewhere to go, and he can be Pyro's replacement since the poor Aussie is dead.
Empath -- he might be kind of redundant with Mastermind around, but he's kewl regardless.
Shinobi Shaw -- he's not doing anything, so I think he should make his way into this group.
Dragoness -- exact same reason as Shinobi. OMG, if this team did happen, it'd be so Japanese-centric (Sunfire, Shaw, and Ms. Kurtz?!).



I wouldn't add anyone on this list, FADED, because:

Regan isn't necessary with Martinique around.

There can't be TOO many Acolytes or else it'll turn into the Acolytes and not the Brotherhood.

Sunfire... well, okay, one person on your list.

Lorelei Travis is the worst character in existence.

Hellion/Kid Omega (isn't he dead?)/Match... no. If Mystique is leading, she's not stupid enough to hire a bunch of reckless teenagers over veterans like Lanchey and Fren-Fren.

Daken would never work well with the group, and he's too psychotic to anyway.

Vanisher is much better on X-Force than as a regular villain, and more interesting than he's ever been.

Typhoid Mary isn't an X-Character and it should stay that way.

Polaris is the second worst character in existence.

In conclusion, I hate you FadeFade for not including Briquette. :smile: Okay how can I lie? I love you. I want your sweet cherry pie.

[Puunk]

Vanisher is much better on X-Force than as a regular villain, and more interesting than he's ever been.

Polaris is the second worst character in existence.

Both seconded! Vanisher's cool.

And *phew* I thought I was the only one who didn't like Polaris. Heh.

[Supercoolshay]

Lorelei Travis is the worst character in existence.

You have no soul. She's a stripper with prehensile hair. What part of this does not scream 'not worst character in existence'!


Daken would never work well with the group, and he's too psychotic to anyway.

And yet he is on two, having the time of his life just messing with all their heads.

[Daniel Mengsk]

And *phew* I thought I was the only one who didn't like Polaris. Heh.

You are......Puunk. :evilangry:


EDIT: Right. :wink:

[The Big G]

I voted for Hellion/Kid Omega/Match and Daken.

Personally i really dont give a shit about Kid Omega cuse he's a blob of goo right now and Match is just a Hot Head (pun intended).

But Hellion is really were its at; one of his defining character traits over the corse of his time in X-Men is that he's walked a fine line between hero and villain when it comes to ideology. Sure i think it's cool when he's a good guy; but i think it could do a lot of characters good if he did a stint with actual bad guys for a while. It could not only develop his character but cause characters like Rockslide, Mercury and defiantly Laura to grow because they're favorite telekinetic is a bad guy


And yet he is on two, having the time of his life just messing with all their heads.

Daken can do no wrong in my eyes; plus the Hood needs someone who can stand up to Logan and Laura now that Sabertooth is gone with the wind

[Come To Deathstrike]

Lorelei Travis is the worst character in existence.


Lorelei II > Lorelei

Don't be hatin' just fo' names sakes.
she can "oooooo" off.

[Nyssane]

Yeah, and Mystique is much too crafty herself to allow someone that insane and manipulative on her group.

At least Savage Lorelei had rose-petal lips.

[Firebaton]

I went with the Acolyte option. Those lackeys will do anything if given a strong enough leader.

[Monty_Cristo]

My ideal Brotherhood:

Mystique -- leader, more like her Freedom Force days.
Avalanche -- Mystique's second-in-command and best (only) friend.
Mastermind -- resident telepath/illusionist.
Toad -- because it'd be fun to see him and Martinique together.
Frenzy -- team powerhouse, I could see her following Mystique now that the Acolytes are over; she replaces Blob.

Shinobi Shaw -- he's not doing anything, so I think he should make his way into this group.
Dragoness -- exact same reason as Shinobi. OMG, if this team did happen, it'd be so Japanese-centric (Sunfire, Shaw, and Ms. Kurtz?!).


what would be in it for Shinobi? he doesn't care a thing about the mutant condition. he doesn't like fighting or exerting himself. he's a wealthy individual who likes bubble baths and gisha girls. why would he slum it with these folks? Empath i can understand because he's nuts. Sunfire's iffy but seems to have had a lot of problems being mind-controlled. the rest are cool. :')

[marvell2100]

Sunfire
Hellion
Avalanche
Frenzy
Threnody

I may have more to add later.

[scouse mouse]

The magnificent Lady M. She has joined virtually every other team in the X-verse so why not the Brotherhood?

[FeminineMystique]

It has to stay recognizable, so either Magneto, Mystique, Toad, Avalanche, or Blob must be there. One or all, doesn't matter.


I prefer Toad nd Avalanche, maybe Phat Blawb if he would come back.

I wouldn't mind seeing Magneto and Mystique in the Brotherhood at the same time, simply for the mind games as she inevitably attempted to betray him as she does EVERYONE she works with, and he tries to stay one step ahead.

[Hakael]

WHY DIDN'T YOU BUY EXILES?

I didn't buy Exiles because I'm not a fan of alternate world storylines, especially in Marvel. I JUST DON'T CARE.

the question is, why didn't you buy Captain Britain and MI:13?

[Faded]

Martinique.

She is seething ♥.


My ideal brotherhood:

- Quicksilver
- Martinique
- Toad
- Blob
- Phantazia
- Domino
- Avalanche
- Pyro

I like this!

Wolverine and the X-Men really made me like Dom as a potential bad girl.

She's like another blue girl but less psycho.

My ideal Brotherhood:

Mystique -- leader, more like her Freedom Force days.
Avalanche -- Mystique's second-in-command and best (only) friend.
Mastermind -- resident telepath/illusionist.
Toad -- because it'd be fun to see him and Martinique together.

You're mean. :(

LOL

I'm defending:

Vanisher - I agree with you, but I don't think he's gonna be on X-Force forever. He's either gonna find a way out of his predicament, be stabbed, or die of brain cancer. Maybe all of the above.

The Acolytes have dissolved (for now), so I definitely think Frenzy and Unuscione at least are still gonna want to be in some action and are smart enough not to go about it alone.

The rest I more or less agree with you and just put those options out there.


But Hellion is really were its at; one of his defining character traits over the corse of his time in X-Men is that he's walked a fine line between hero and villain when it comes to ideology. Sure i think it's cool when he's a good guy; but i think it could do a lot of characters good if he did a stint with actual bad guys for a while. It could not only develop his character but cause characters like Rockslide, Mercury and defiantly Laura to grow because they're favorite telekinetic is a bad guy

I like this reason, and I like this as a plus on the "he should live" option that's been weighing on my mind lately.

I didn't buy Exiles because I'm not a fan of alternate world storylines, especially in Marvel. I JUST DON'T CARE.

the question is, why didn't you buy Captain Britain and MI:13?

Captain Britain.

[Peter F.]

Captain Britain.

TANGERINE!

I did buy Captain Britain. It was my patriotic duty.
