View Full Version : Back To The Outback: Create Your Dream Team!

Fact: The X-Men during their Australian era were one of the more interesting incarnations of the team. Following their secret resurrection by Roma, the X-Men decided to shift their base to the Australian Outback. During this period of time, the members were believed dead and they could not be detected by electronic devices. When the X-Men were attacked by the cyborg Reavers, Psylocke made the team (Havok, Colossus and Dazzler) pass through the mystic Siege Perilous to escape, ending this incarnation of the X-Men. Although the team was only together for 21 issues, the sheer awesomeness of this team is still recognized today.
http://x-men.marvelcomics.pl/stuff/covers/uncanny_x-men/uncanny_x-men_238.jpg
The Austrailian X-Men were: Storm, Havok, Wolverine, Dazzler, Rogue, Psylocke, Colossus, and Longshot
This era of X-Men brought us some awesome villians and moments: The Reavers, Lady Deathstrike, Gateway, Rogue's internal struggle with Ms. Marvel's personality, the death of Senator Kelly's wife, and the introduction of the island of Genosha and the glorious art of Jim Lee.
http://x-men.marvelcomics.pl/stuff/covers/uncanny_x-men/uncanny_x-men_248.jpg
It also brought us some debatable moments: Longshot, the introduction of Jubilee,Nanny and the Orphan-Maker and the deaging of Storm and Rob Liefeld guest pencils.

If you could recreate the Outback team in modern continuity, who would be on your team? Here are the rules: The team must have at least 8 members. You must use at least 4 of the original members of The Australian Outback team. And that's it! Who makes your team?
Or if you couldn't give a crap about creating your own team, feel free to discuss this particular era of X-Men. What did you like? What did you hate?
If Uncanny First Class is ever cancelled I'd like to see an Outback first class! Pretty doubtful though. :P

How is the introduction of Jubilee a debatable moment? :confused:
Anyway, let's see what kind of team would want to exist in such a situation. Set apart from the others, potentially operating in secret.
Rogue (leader)
Wondra (second-in-command)
Warpath
Polaris
Havok
Gambit
Marvel Girl
Decibel
Okay, so I basically took some New Warriors, the current space guys and some other characters who tend to walk a fine line and placed them under a leader who's not afraid of going rogue (pun intended). Wondra was elevated to deputy leader just to see how she deals with it. After the Warriors came apart, it seems likely she'd question her capability and even moreso when she's helping lead an actual X-Men team.
Edit: Oops, didn't read all the rules. So, I must have four from the original Outback era, huh. I'm guessing Jubilee doesn't count because she was just kind of hiding under their base. So, I guess it'll have to be:
Rogue
Wondra
Warpath
Polaris
Havok
Longshot
Psylocke
Decibel
Y'know, I don't like this crew quite as much, but it fits the rules. Since it's "at least" 8 members, maybe Gambit and Marvel Girl can be mebers too. Plus, I'd like to throw Slipstream in too. He'd be needed considering Gateway was last thought to be dead.
Jubilee, Rogue, Psylocke, Havok, Storm, Magneto, Wolverine, Gambit

You realize now that you're just being a jerk, right? Also, you can't just make up rules after the whole thing's been started. If you weren't going to allow characters that have been unjustly depowered, you should have mentioned that at the start. I can make up my team and post it however I see fit. I even went back and changed things so that it fit your initial rules. So, lay off, wouldja!

Rogue- Australia does good things for her, past and present. Give her the chaps and motorcycle and let her lead a real team; Rogue's no babysitter, girl's gotta have fun.
Havok- The guy was in space, held in a Shi'ar prison, and what happens next, well if he returns, the guy needs a great escape. What could be better than Australia? He needs his jogging shorts too, he and Dazzler need to catch up.
Dazzler- The girl hasn't caught any breaks and she really shone in Australia. She won't have a man holding her down and she and Havok can jog again. She can be a sensation in Australia instead too.
Psylocke- I wanna see her, Dazzler, and Rogue go on a shopping spree again, plus Psylocke was more mature in Australia, she was sexy and smart, we need that back in Betsy. It's that or wallpaper in Uncanny...
Gateway- The team's resident teleporter, and best of all, no Pixie (she wouldn't fit in with the mature X-men anyways). The guy's unpredictable, can't speak and is not dead, a great way to bring him back. I wouldn't necessarily see him fighting, but still, he comes in handy when needed.
Warpath- Outside of X-Force, he's basically wallpaper, only appeared in a couple Brubaker stories as well, the desert seems right for him. He loves nature, and in space, missed the wind, it would just be good for him. He can roam the Outback. The team powerhouse.
Boom-Boom- Who needs Jubilee when you got this gal around. I could see her and Dazzler getting along.

- Illyana (the team's teleporter and reunited with her brother)
- Colossus (so he can draw Betsy again :) )
- Jubilee (still powerless but using tech to create exploding sparks :p)
Guest starring:
Dazzler and Northstar as both decided to move to Sydney due to carreer/professional reasons and ocassionally visits the X-men (vice versa).
And of course, Mike Carey should write the Outback X-Men..

I don't know that I'd want to change much about the original team, they had a great dynamic. Even Dazz was at the least annoying I've ever seen her (with the best costume to boot) in the Outback, and she kept Rogue on her toes. Except Maddie would have to be there, that's not open for debate. So I guess...

Simple answer? Most people haven't read the miniseries. A few know him from his X-Men days when he didn't have anything to do, most probably haven't read a single story with him in it. It's just easy to mock the mullet, and PAD hasn't gotten around to really going to work on him yet like he did with Wonder Girl on Young Justice.
Slightly more complex answer? There are a LOT of Dazzler fans on this board, and it's easier to blame a fictional character for her not being used from 1991-2006 than to acknowledge the fact that the writers and editors simply didn't want to use her (or Longshot, true). Take your pick.

I did. It was good, but weird.

So if someone is not a Dazzler fan - than that person likes Longshot? Automatically likes him?

i read maybe half of dazzler's original run they used to be in the comics bin at half price books back in the 90s when i was little (great place to get back issues!!!!) and it was good until she got that awful flashdance costume and boned the beonder. no wonder the series got cancelled.....
i wonder what would have happened if she joined x-factor when beast asked her in the final issue?

Karima Shapandar
Jubilee (de-powered but still kick-ass)
A group who is mobile, wandering the planet picking up the pieces of the X-Men's long history and solving some dangling plot lines while they're at it!

The Wolverine clone is named X-23 or Laura Kinney.
Also were the hell did Gozer had crystals, especialy 30 centimer long ones?
I only remember it as creepy woman in a skin tight foam cover suit with high heels and having Grace Jones style haircut.

so what will they do in the Outback? Shortpack
Build a mutant haven and invite all mutants to come live there under their protection away from a world that fears and hates them. The we open a few casinos, some luxury hotels, a few strip joints and some nude beaches.

Gateway - He was a great character, in my opinion. Creepy, kind, and truly awesome.
Storm- Natural leader with incredible powers that she is NOT afraid of. 'Nuff said.
Rogue- Because any team with Rogue on it gets a little bit better.
Shadowcat- BRING HER BACK FROM THAT STUPID BULLET NOW! *pounds table*
Dazzler- Dazzler is fun.
Gambit- More Romy please.
Archangel- It would bring him out of the background and expand his personality. And I like him.
White Queen- She's too good for Scott. And every team needs a telepath, or someone with impenetrable skin. And she's got both.
Firestar- She and Kitty could gang up on Emma
Magneto- The team needs more boys. And his power would be very useful.
