Marvel’s most dysfunctional family is getting twisted and tortured again after a major revelation in Avengers and X-Men: AXIS #7.

Scarlet Witch and Doctor Doom’s inversion spell to stop the wrath of the Red Onslaught (Red Skull with the power of Professor X’s brain) worked but the spell inverted the moral compass of heroes and villains in the battle zone.

Inverted X-Men allied under Apocalypse have taken over Manhattan. Inverted Avengers are ready to kill their enemies. Only Steve Rogers and inverted villains are the last hope. Magneto is leading the bad guys gone good (including Carnage and Sabretooth.)

Magneto and Quicksilver’s manipulations in House of M lead to Scarlet Witch declaring, “No More Mutants.”

In this week’s battle with Magnus and Pietro, the inverted Wanda made a new declaration that could have a powerful impact on the mutant race again. Continue reading SCARLET WITCH & QUICKSILVER: NO MORE MUTANTS?

Which other unusual suspects does Bunn want to take on next?

“I’ve often said that Namor is one of the most fun characters to write. There’s pure joy in channeling that level of self-confidence. But writing Sinestro, Magneto and Namor might be too much narcissism for me to handle. There are many villainous characters I’d love to see in their own book.
