MUTANTS For THE GIFTED For Your Consideration

Fox’s X-Men franchise evolves with a new television series featuring characters from comics canon.

The Gifted will feature the adventures of a family on the run after the parents learn their children are mutants. Lauren and Andy Strucker and their parents will encounter some familiar characters from comics: Lorna Dane/Polaris, Blink and John Proudstar/Thunderbird/Warpath and a new character called Eclipse.

What other mutants from the X-Men canon could appear in the upcoming show?

The Struckers and other mutants “don’t know if the X-Men of Brotherhood still exist” as they run from Sentinel Services. Who else could join the adventure?

Here are mutants for your consideration: Continue reading MUTANTS For THE GIFTED For Your Consideration

NEW MUTANTS In X-MEN APOCALYPSE? For Your Consideration

X-Men: Days of Future Past introduced two new mutants from the New Mutants era to the cinematic Children of the Atom. With the news that X-Men: Apocalypse will be set in 1983 I couldn’t help but think of popular mutants born in the 80’s.

In Days of Future Past, Sunspot (Adan Canto) got to use his solar energy powers against the Sentinels. Producers chose to amp the Brazilian mutant’s power beyond just super strength. Roberto Da Costa could fly and blast heat at the relentless robots. Sunspot was one of the founding members of the New Mutants.

Warpath (Boo Boo Stewart) used his tracking ability, super strength and fighting skills with big — knives against the Sentinels. Warpath actually started out as a Hellion (a student of Emma Frost and the Hellfire Club.) James Proudstar blamed Professor X for his older brother’s death and joined the Hellions in his quest for revenge by taking his brother’s X-Men code-name Thunderbird. James would later reform and join Cable’s original X-Force then become an official X-Man.

Could more third and fourth generation X-Men join the next sequel in the fight against Apocalypse? Continue reading NEW MUTANTS In X-MEN APOCALYPSE? For Your Consideration

Big guns, muscles and pouches plus, bigger guns? It must be the 1990’s.

If seeing Warpath and Sunspot in X-Men: Days of Future Past makes you nostalgic for the good old X-Force days then hold on.

Warpath, along with Cable, Cannonball, Boom Boom and Domino are back to take on the Merc With a Mouth in a brand new limited series that brings back the original X-Force.

Marvel shared a preview of Deadpool vs. X-Force #1 by writer Duane Swierczynski (Cable) and artist Pepe Larraz (Wolverine and the X-Men) with covers by Shane Davis. Continue reading DEADPOOL VS. X-FORCE Preview
