    LOL no kidding!

    the fact that they are mining material from Austen's Uncanny era isn't filling me with hope here...

    I loved Kick Ass, but even I'm starting to lose faith. I'm trying to hold on to hope, but it is hard.

    Default Hellfire Club?

    I can't remember his name, but one of the original "lords" of the Hellfire Club was a large dude who could make his body more dense. Perhaps Oliver Platt is playing that character, while Kevin Bacon is Sebastian Shaw.

    Harry Leland.

    The "Man In Black" could be the Shadow King though in the comics he is of Egyptian descent.

    I don't know what to make of the whole thing really. Some of the characters make sense from an early years perspective, but the inclusion of Azazel is baffling especially since Mystique's role as Nightcrawler's mother has not been established in the movies.

    Harry Leland could alter density of the objects around himself including people. But could not alter his own density.

    Sebastion Shaw enhanced his physical strenght by absorbing kinectic energy.

    No, it's obviously Agent Zed from the Men in Black series.



    Nah, I think it's Shadow King too.
