Good to see confirmation that Fantomex murdered a child.

[AcesX1X]

good to see confirmation that psylocke does not know how to fly correctly.

That art is nice.

Still I love it tk makes Betsy too powerful but Fantomex is not over powered by his ability that works on everyone. Which leaves the only effective counter to such hax as nuke the surrounding area if u get caught.

Also shakeups due to Schism sounds good maybe another a female on the team. And I assume after this Dark Angel descent assuming they fix Warren he is probably out of the X-force business.

I didn't like the last "what if?" question.

[MarvelGirlBoy]

I think there was typo; he meant "Omegle-level" - meaning, Psylocke can chat to strangers with her sub-par telepathy.

"Deadpool and Fantomex have a similar sense of humor"??

Glad Remender put that fool straight.

[Aguja]

I'm thrilled he's trying to streamline Psylocke's powers a bit. He is correct over the years she has been all over the place in terms of her power set.

confirmation of Sugar Man's return. Good.

Very interesting and informative from my favorite current X-book. And my questions got asked! That's a nice bonus. They were even answered quite thoroughly. I like the theme Remender has developed. X-Force isn't just about going out, killing the bad guys, and smiling while they do it. There's a very human approach to this book. When they do kill someone like Apocalypse, Father, or Shadowking it really affects them and it should. X-Force is in a very difficult position. It's only natural that they would struggle with it. That's part of what makes this book such a joy to follow.

I also asked a question about Betsy and Warren, but someone else asked a similar question so I'm not too disappointed that it got cut. I'm perfectly fine with it so long as the awesome of Uncanny X-Force continues at it's current pace. Bring on the Age of Apocalypse!

I do wonder where else in the X-universe will we be seeing the whole Dark Angel concept played out ?

I mean maybe this could be too big of a problem for X-force to handle and they may have to require the aids of Scott and the others ?

I think he's getting a different memo to the other X-writers. Mike Carey and Fraction have written her as a better telekinetic then telepath. Is there really a need to ignore the TK? Afterall...her TK and TP are linked. Using one greatly weakens the other.

Well "Omega Level Telepath" Betsy should be able to smack down Warren. Assuming she cannot then they should just call back Magneto. With all the metal warren has, Magneto should have little trouble dismantling Warren. But yeah that probably does not happen and this blows up majorly. I mean Warren being gone is bad and that assumes they keep him out of public and he does not go full tilt villain. Which could be interesting.

Hmmm.
Artwise, it was all the colourist doing for making the last two issues look so "polished". Mounts and Tan does not a good combination make...oh well.

That was quite a decent interview...
So FantomX is growing his own Appocalypse clone...interesting. And Yay! Remender saw the logical sense in not letting Betsy be both Telepathic and Telekinetic...Jean 3.0 she is most certainly not. ( I always thought Psylocke being tk and how those powers were derived was somewot rubbishy, truth to tell, so thank goodness he is ignoring it).

Carey was the one that describe it as type of fluidity wasn't he? I think that approach works the best. I wasn't sure what Fraction was trying to do after he brought her back. All her powers seemed weak and off under him. It seems like Remender is working more with Carey's model albeit adding his own take on it. It make sense to me that her TP would be better. It is her natural power and she has years of training in using it.
