DEADPOOL Casts Teen as Obscure Mutant

Negasonic Teenage Warhead?

Say that again?

Grant Morrison created Negasonic Teenage Warhead during his New X-Men run. Ellie Phimister (her real name) was a telepath with precognitive abilities studying under Emma Frost in Genosha.

X-MEN: APOCALYPSE Mutants For Your Consideration

A new mutant joins the X-Men film franchise in X-Men: Apocalypse.

Bryan Singer revealed Jubilee will join the cast after previously revealing new actors will play younger versions of Jean Grey, Storm, Scott Summers and Nightcrawler.

Professor X, Magneto, Mystique and Beast (James McAvoy, Michael Fassbender, Jennifer Lawrence and Nicholas Hoult) return for the sequel set in the 1980’s. Hugh Jackman returns as Wolverine.

It’s a good bet Gambit (Channing Tatum) and Deadpool (Ryan Reynolds) may appear since those characters are headlining spinoffs before and after Apocalypse. Days of Future Past introduced Blink, Sunspot and Warpath.

We shared our villainous picks to join the sequel.

Inspired by the Jubilation Lee announcement here’s our picks for more heroic mutants to join the sequel: Continue reading X-MEN: APOCALYPSE Mutants For Your Consideration
