DEADPOOL 2 Who’s Who

Who’s who in the movie and are they in the comics? And could the real villain of the movie be someone we never even saw on screen? Continue reading DEADPOOL 2 Who’s Who

All the recent photos of Mohawk Storm and Psylocke in X-Men: Apocalypse and the previously named-dropped mutant above in Deadpool has us wishing for more of the Women of the Atom to make the leap off the comic page.

With Fox planning more X-Men spinoffs and possible live action television series, we picked the X-Women we want to see the most: Continue reading X-MEN LADIES IN WAITING
