Who is that?!

Even this lifelong X-Fan was scratching my head with this week’s Death of X #3 as a minor character the past is recruited by Cyclops for a big league return and will play a huge role in the upcoming war between the X-Men and Inhumans.

Death of X is revealing the origin of the IvX conflict, the fate of Cyclops and Emma Frost and more of what happened in the eight months following the Secret Wars finale and All-New, All-Different Marvel Now Extraordinary X-Men launch.

Along with Cyclops and Emma Frost we have witnessed the return of mutants from multiple eras including Wolfsbane, Warpath, Goldballs and the Stepford Cuckoos.

In part three Cyclops recruits a character not seen in decades for his master plan to save the mutant race. Who is this mutant? Continue reading DEATH OF X Surprise X-MEN Comeback

Cyclops died (off-screen) in an attack on the Inhumans. Storm took the school to Limbo to create X-Haven to protect mutants from the mists in Extraordinary X-Men.  Could Death of X reveal what happened to Cyclops and other missing mutants like Emma Frost in the 8 months after Secret Wars and the relaunch?
