X-Men are switching sides in Civil War II and paving the way for the return of a mutant powerhouse missing in action since the All-New, All-Different Marvel Now began.

Terrigenesis that creates new Inhumans is killing mutants. The X-Men/Inhumans cold war is set to explode. The emergence of a new Inhuman with the power to see the future has bitterly divided the Avengers and now the X-Men.

Writer Cullen Bunn packed Civil War II: X-Men #2 with betrayals, secret missions and a big hint that a lost X-Man is making a big comeback. Continue reading X-MEN SWITCH SIDES And MUTANT COMEBACK in CIVIL WAR II

Marvel and Fox are teaming up on two television series set in the X-Men universe and they’re bringing on the bad guys.

 They’re rich, powerful, blonde, manipulative and can deliver razor sharp one liners like Hand assassin throws a dagger.

  Emma Frost is the reformed White Queen of the Hellfire Club and now co-leader of the X-Men.

  Nolan Ross (played by Gabriel Mann) is the witty, scheming, brilliant high-tech billionaire with too much time, money and tech on the hit ABC show Revenge.

  If ever too characters from similar worlds but different mediums should cross over it’s these two.  As I watch Revenge I can’t help but think if Emma had a long-lost twin it might be Nolan. Here’s to the “good” guys with an edge who keep us entertained.

 This is what happens when a geek has too much time his hands – spinning two of my favorite vices into a twisted idea. Disney does own both companies behind these properties and I can see Frost on holiday in the Hamptons crossing paths with Ross!
