WORST X-MEN EVER?

We try to keep things positive here but with the announcement of X-Men: Worst X-Man Ever we couldn’t resist to look back at some of the maybe not to popular mutants who made the team…even for a brief membership.

The new X-book by Max Bemis and Michael Walsh will star a new mutant. We don’t know his powers or back story or why he deserves this ominous title but it does make one think: Who are the worst X-Men?

Let’s face it, after decades and dozens of characters, it’s hard for writers and artists to create a new mutant that will take off. We’ve often said, for every Gambit and Rogue….there’s a Maggott and Marrow.

Yet there’s a fan who may love these odd (even for mutants) heroes and want them back.

Cable assembles Psylocke, Fantomex and Marrow into a brand new X-Force in 2014 by Si Spurrier and Rock-He Kim. This team has always been the pro-active, clandestine fighting force taking the fight to the X-Men’s enemies – while keeping their questionable methods and acts a secret from their fellow mutants.

What’s the mission? Spurrier compares real world espionage with the current Marvel Universe in this Marvel.com interview.

“In our world—the real world?—there’s a shadow-game being played every day. Continue reading Cable’s Mission in X-FORCE

New X-FORCE Roster and Surprise Member

Si Spurrier (X-Men Legacy) breaks down on the new roster and here’s the revamped look for each member by Rock-He Kim courtesy Marvel.com:

“Cable. As in, the extraordinarily deadly grizzled old war dog and fancier of enormoguns. Slightly grimmer than the proverbial reaper.
