X-Men Game - Add 1, Retcon 1!

[Come To Deathstrike]

It's true.
We all have problems with The X-Universe
There's something we all hate.
And I'm sure there's something We'd all want to put in if we were in charge.

So I propose a game.

2 Questions.

1. If you could just retcon away something that happened in the X universe. So it NEVER happened, What would It be?

2. And If you could Implement one new idea.
What would that be?

There would never be a middle team of X-men that went after Krakoa. First Cyclops's team, then the Giant Sized team. No team inbetween.

What I would introduce is the Cult of Apocalypse as having existed for hundreds of years. Give Apocalypse a huge following, almost a society that worships him and his views. The Dark Ridersd would only make up a small ortion of this and the Horsemen would act as his generals. Other than that, they'd probably be composed of some of the biggest scum and most vicious fanatics on the planet.

[Pro]

Decimation out the window.

In its place mutants demanding their own homelands and running into the Initiative and the registered superhumans in the process as the government insists on mutants registering instead. That would have been a Civil War worth watching. Several mutant leaders taking charge of separate groups of mutants, Bishop and Forge raising the XSE properly, Scott leading a rebellion against the Superhuman Registration Act, Charles trying to stop everyone from killing eachother. Still hoping Messiah Complex will end somewhat similar.

Id have to retcon jean not really being the Dark Phoenix...it was very cheap and ruins the whole story.

And as for the other...well what id really like to see is more human interaction between the X-Men...along the lines of the baseball games....i mean how often do you see Rogue and Kurt having a normal every day conversation?....NEVER.

1.) Gambit was never involved with the Mutant Massacre

2.) Human's can surpass what is to be human limits without magic, mutated DNA or drugs, and that they can be every bit as powerful people like Sentry if they train and fight hard enough. :)

[Come To Deathstrike]

1. After Chamber's blood transfusion, he didn't get sound powers.
He just got his Big psychic chest cavity back
CHAMBERPOCALYPSE LIVES!

2. I'd like to see Lady Mastermind given more of A Big Bad status, instead of a Team Member slant.
That is, unless It's all a ploy with Gambit and Mystique, and she's secretly good.:rolleyes:

That would have been great indeed, and there's still hope MC will shape into something like that.

Still, Decimation was the problem. If the point was to reduce the mutant population, how can they have thought magic would be the solution, with some character assasination for the Scarlet Witch to match? I agree Morrison elevated the number of mutants to some ridiculous levels, but come on, Whedon introduced a freakin' mutant cure! Why not just expand upon it, since there seemed to be lots of mutants willing to take it, and take it the way the third X-Men movie was going, with the government using it as a weapon and all, but done right. Lots of possiblities there, lost in favour of... magic.

The second I saw the title of this thread I knew I would find at least one person to say something along those lines:rolleyes:

Me? I, would delete everything connected to Grant Morrison's run on New X-Men. No, RETCON! I would literally pull a "Living Tribunal" move.

[worstblogever]

All of the deaths in Weapon X (vol. 2) #5. It was a waste of a lot of D-Listers just to prove that Weapon X wasn't screwing around. We got the point, but lost so many damn characters. (sometime I should count them all in the Mutant Tracker thread, but it's more than I can count on one hand, maybe ten.)

EDIT: It's actually seven. But yeah, I'd like to say I'd like to see half the deaths Tieri wrote in this series undone. It was kind of a waste, and none of them actually had any real impact.

[Canemacar]

1: I'd retcon out everything thats happened from the Age of Apocalypse or so to the begining of Morrison's run, then from the middle of his run to the begining of the current creative teams. No Xorn, no Draco, no Vargus/Neo/Bogan/etc, no Austen, no Milligan, etc.

2: I'd retcon in some fluff that would streamline the gaps left by my first paragraph.

[snoopafly]

All Xorn related stories as well as Beak's girlfriend..I think her name was Angel. She was really annoying..and her powers were gross.

[BoosterBronze]

I agree that Jean really WAS Dark Phoneix. That explaination has stuck in my craw for decades.

I'd change it so that Whedon/Cassaday stay on X-Men forever and ever.

I second that..but only if the books come out on time.
