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.

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?

Two more pieces of the Ultron vs. Avengers battle revealed. Fans at San Diego Comic Con keep getting first looks at character posters for Avengers: Age of Ultron.

Today is a triple shot (of sorts) as we see Quicksilver (Aaron Taylor-Johnson) and Hawkeye (Jeremy Renner) in battle against the army of Ultrons. The only Avenger left is Hulk who we caught a glimpse of in the Black Widow poster.

In the Quicksilver concept art you can see what might be the Vision flying above the war zone. Paul Bettany (voice of Jarvis in Iron Man) will portray the android. The look of the Vision is a concept to watch especially after yesterday’s announcement that the Vision will return and be redesigned for Avengers: Rage of Ultron graphic novel coming next year before the movie.
