Chamber Appreciation

[Starleafgirl]

Blink is also tied into Akkaba, when was that revealed? Would be awesome if her and Jono are distant cousins!

Yes, it's hard to find info on it (probably 'cos most people like to ignore it), but they are, apparently, distant cousins through the Clan Akkaba bloodlines. ;D

A lot of the sites that do mention it do so through fan-made RPGs, which, although they tend to take directly from canon for their original characters' histories, aren't the most reliable of sources. I have the Dracula vs. Apocalypse graphic novel/mini/whatever, but I don't feel like looking it up, lol, especially when UncannyXmen.Net has such an extensive resource on the net:

That table there shows Blink and Chamber as the only two remaining modern descendants of Apocalypse (you know, not counting Genesis as a clone, lol), but speculates that there could be other bloodlines not mentioned (since the members of Clan Akkaba have been various ethnicities).

I was sad to find no-one had voted for Chamber in the best X-man mega poll. He got my vote though, someone has to keep the love for ol' chinless going xD

I dont suppose the editors have even bothered to sit down with Sandoval & explain to him how his power works, we really should not be seeing any neck there...

Found this image while flipping through the Gen X Underground Special. It's from Mahfood's sketches in preparing for the special and his notes on how to properly draw Jono. This image should be included in every packet that X-Editors give new artists. :P

Fantastic that Mahfood actually did his homework. ^.^

Lol, look at Jono's position in that ... it almost exactly matches the Legacy panel. XD

I dont even know what that is...I have been kinda distracted by some other fandoms lately so i havent been here as much.

I have that Mahfood Gen-X issue. Its a must have! It has the most emo Chamber comic ever.

I voted for Penance, of course.

Legacy is getting axed. I hope Jono doesn't go back into Limbo =(

So sad! He's not even on the final cover. Freakin' Doop is.

Maybe he jumps ship before the series goes under? A boy can dream =P

I checked and Doop has never even appeared in Legacy. WTF!?

[jawbreaker]

he's never been on a cover. He's considered cover poison. :(

He was on some Age of X covers but that was probably due to M. Carey's insistance.

Are you talking about Jono? Because he's been on Generation X covers along with that one fantastic Generation M cover:



I mean, there's also his Icon series, he was obviously on the covers for those...

Doop was on the cover of 265, but you're right never inside.

As for Chamber, don't forget Uncanny 397:



And 404:

You know, I was thinking that he had been on the cover of something done up like a tabloid during his time with Sugar Kane, but then I figured I probably imagined it or it was an inside panel, lol. Thanks!

guys...
those Uncanny covers were waaaaay back when they were gonna try to make him a star, but then Joe Casey's run got shortened & he got shipped off to Weapon X. After getting shunted to WX I think he got pegged as damaged goods.

The Gen M cover... well yeah that was for an issue of a mini-series about shock value C-list depowerrings, so sure he got a cover(& of course then it turned out the series wasnt really about the x-mutants, whoops!)

Gen x covers dont count for obvious reasons...its the book he debuted in & everyone loved the Gen Xers back then.

Im talking about covers now in the last 5-6 years...we got nothing...except for Age for X. I wish Carey would come back.
