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

MUTANTS or INHUMANS in AVENGERS Movies

After playing supporting roles in Fantastic Four and Avengers epics, the Inhumans are front and center of Marvel Comics but does it mean they’re on the fast track for a movie?

Fox is in control of the X-Men and Fantastic Four movie franchises. Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch (mutant children of Magneto) were created in the pages of X-Men but became fan-favorite Avengers.

Fans are speculating Inhumans could be next for a movie given a new Guardians of the Galaxy comic was launched a year before the movie.

In a new Huffington Post interview Marvel Studios Kevin Feige was asked if Inhumans are next up for a film. Continue reading MUTANTS or INHUMANS in AVENGERS Movies

Heading to a club this weekend? You may see the mutant rapper Kid Apocalypse! I met this creative cosplayer at Emerald City Comicon and later learned he was shooting a mutant rap video which I shared last week.

Kid Apocalypse is a great rapper and knows his X-Men history. Before the ECCC video the Kid and Beast made this video Kid Apocalypse Rising. Listen for the classic music track Kid raps over! Enjoy:

Yes, that’s the theme from the X-Men Animated Series from the 90’s.

Thanks Kid Apocalypse and Mongrel Studios!

As you can tell, the Kid knows his X-Men comic book history. Here’s a link to download kidapocalypse.bandcamp.com.
