How Should Azazel Resurrect his Son?

[AdamYJ]

I would say he shares the opinion of several other people, that Hope Summers was a poorly presented plot device and that the whole Cyclops/P5 restoring the mutant gene story was told at the expense of other characters. In other words, who wants Eye-Boy and Shark Tits at the price of Nightcrawler? I would venture to guess that Generation X wouldn't have been cancelled after only a year, if those new mutants had been in any way compelling, and I have my doubts if Eye-Boy will ever become relevant or captivating as a character. /shrug

I think you mean Generation Hope. Generation X (RIP) went on for something like five years.

Yep, Generation Hope, sorry about that.

Is this supposed to make sense?

I would hope not.

Angel will save Kurt. He's connected to Azazel, too.

I'm kinda wondering that after the incident where he ressurrected the dead dog if he'll turn his attention to the graveyard full of kids that got blown up on the bus.

There's this, but also there were scores of people killed in Wakanda that didn't matter that much because they weren't mutants and therefore didn't show up on Scott Summers scoreboard.

The mindset of someone as Revolutionary Cyclops or Magneto is to view human beings as members of groups rather as individuals. While fighting off what Cyclops considered to be "racists," he himself exhibited many of the traits of a racist himself: That people who share certain traits are part of their own group and that those who don't are the "other." By encouraging people to be defined by identity politics, we develop a group mentality that actually perpetuates pigeon-holing and animosity.

If you were to look at Hope as a real person and not a comic book character, her death would of been tragic, but it wouldn't be the scale of tragedy in the deaths of all those other people.

In the end, as both a character and as a property as Sundown stated above, she wasn't worth it.

This thread is a whining free zone.

What's Azazel's deal he's like a poor man's Mephisto crossed with a Mutant version of the Deviants?

[Froggy]

They torment Jean fans ONLY. Everyone else comes back eventually.



I just had the horrifying thought of him joining Uncanny Avengers. I think he'd fit the fun and wacky tone of Wolverine & the X-Men to be honest, and the cast would then be like early 80s Claremont minus Colossus.

He'd be fun in WATXM, plus that place is totally primed for his return.

Abyss should retrieve him from the abyss.

Tell him to get Kiwi Black out of there too Monty.
