Eva Bell aka Tempus is one of the new mutants created by Brian Michael Bendis since taking over Uncanny X-Men and launching All-New X-Men.
The young mutant from Australia has become a fan-favorite and gets the spotlight in Uncanny X-Men Annual #1 as revealed at San Diego Comic Con.
During a training session in Tabula Rasa, Eva disappeared from her teammates for a brief moment but when you have the power of time manipulation, reality can be very different.
How long was Eva really away, what did she experience and how did it affect her?
“It is of the utmost grandest X-Men tradition to have your mutant power be the coolest thing about you and the scariest thing about you. Eva has a very interesting and scary power set. It was only a matter of time before she was thrust into a situation that revealed the scary side of her time related powers. This was in my mind during the initial creation stage of the character, but it’s one of those ideas you have to hold onto because it only works if you know the character a little,” Bendis told Marvel.com.
Bendis said fans will see some Marvel characters that you have never seen in an X-Men comic before and this issue is “a defining moment for her. And the fallout of this defining moment will define who she is in relation to the X-Men going forward—and it wasn’t where she or us thought she was going.”
Bendis will be joined by artist Andrea Sorrentino in her Marvel debut.
Uncanny X-Men Annual #1 arrives this Fall.
