I’m a Marvel Guy THROUGH AND THROUGH. I’m soooo excited about where everything is going. I would elaborate further but i just read shit from the x-panel for WWLA and i need to break for a happy Snoopy dance.
Half the stuff/characters they discussed were ones i was talking about with a friend of mine today. He would ask me a question and i’d be like they probably will dicuss it later today. SHO’NUFF BEEATCHES!!!!
Well, there’s still that whole reservoir of mutant energy floating out there, presumably being held off by the Scarlet Witch’s power. I’ve heard that Onslaught: Reborn is going to make some use of it, but I’m guessing that eventually either the Scarlet Witch lets reality go back to normal, or the dam bursts on that energy, or the Celestials (who created the mutant potential to begin with) intervene, and new mutants start being born again and/or all the ex-and-potential mutants wake up again with their powers. It’s just a matter of time.
Rachel won’t be on earth according to what I’ve heard. Bishop i will be curious where he ends up. Everything i know about him and his recent alliances tells me he’d be joining the Intiative. Actually he SHOULD be in the Mightly Avenegrs, but he’s black. The power expelled by wanda’s hex was absorbed by Michael in New Avengers which will be followed up in Omega Flight.
oh as for Jean…....keep hoping. I’m certainly hopeful after all I’ve heard. :-)
I’m confused—I thought the power expelled by Wanda was absorbed by Vulcan, who killed Alpha Flight and caused all sorts of other trouble in “Deadly Genesis”, and then flew off to Shi’ar Space with all this new power avenge his parents’ deaths. In Civil War: The Initiative, Sasquatch talks to this Michael guy, asks him questions about Xorn, and then basically coerces him into joining Omega Flight. Huh? What’d I miss?
I think the mutant power woke Vulcan up, and he headed off into Shi’ar space, but it wasn’t a part of him. At least part of the power—known as The Collective—was absorbed, for a time, by Michael, who killed Alpha Flight while he was disoriented. But Michael no longer has that power, and it was only the power of 50 mutants that he was wielding, not the power of the many thousands. The Collective/Michael went on from there to repower Magneto, and that whole sequence becomes very confusing because Marvel and Morrison had a bit of tug of war over whether a person named Xorn was actually Magneto or not, there was retconning involved, and I don’t think that there are any definitive answers to the interaction between Magneto, Xorn, Michael, and the Collective. But, the upshot was that in the final battle, Michael was separated from the Collective, and Xorn/Collective was sent into the sun. So the Collective’s energy is still available, and with no sentience controlling it as far as I know.
I like Grant Morrison, but nobody can revisit Grant Morrison’s plotlines except Grant Morrison or maybe Joss Whedon. Also, I wish he could go five minutes without tearing down the fourth wall, but whatever.
Yea, I read that while I was writing it and thought, “I’m not sure that I’m really clearing this up any, but with a plot line this weird and snarled, there’s only so much I can do.”

The man likes a book with a view, there’s no denying it.
Please don’t flame me for saying (and Brett and I have discussed this for YEARS) but I hated Grant’s run. I hated that it was part of an on-going title. I liked some elements of of it but over all i didn’;t like it. I won’t go into all of the point by point stuff because I have over and over and over. But I will say this, Grant’s run was very finaistic. It was almost as it could be termed as the Last X-Men Story in many ways. It’s my theory that due to that element that so much got reconned so soon after it was over, most notably Magneto and Xorn. In many ways i think Morrison overstepped himself when he did kill Magneto in an on-going series. Magneto is the other side of the arguement. Without him or someone in that place Xavier’s role is diminished, unless another type of threat would emerge, something like a Hellfire Club that isn’t forgotten about the minute you close the book or something. While it’s not impossible to pick up where he left things and build on his changes, it wasn’t an easy chore for a new writer. Joss seems to have done it the best but in some ways he’s acknowledged the changes added in a classic (Claremont) feel to the team (Kitty and Lockheed helped that along) and went in his own direction. Now It’ll interesting to see where he leaves it. So far no one seems to really have clus as to how to write Cyclops (which is my major gripe about the last 6-7 years of stories) and I’m hoping the last issue of Joss’s run will tie these points up that he’s eluded to through Kitty.
I liked a lot of aspects of Morrison’s X-Men run, but I think I owe that to Whedon’s follow-up. He is seriously blowing my mind. I had forgotten why I loved the X-Men so much until Astonishing started.

just to further help out anyone that might be wondering about The Collective, Xorn, Michael, and Guardian 3 (ithink)....here’s the Colective dossier from Alphanex.

I’m doing Alpha Flight research again and the people that run http://www.alphaflight.net are really up to date with their information. As much Omega Flight has promise I think Marvel is ignoring a property that has it’s own richness of characters, history and locals. X-Force is the other one. Both series have enough of their own villians and associates that they don’t even have to talk to another x-team.
