Cyclops, Magneto, Emma Frost and Magik star in the upcoming Uncanny X-Men. Scott’s team is recruiting new mutants for the revolution. Marvel is making it very clear in this new teaser image by Chris Bachalo – there’s a TRAITOR in the new team/book!
This image shows the heavy hitters plus two brand new characters. The question is not just “who is the traitor?” but who is the traitor working for?
Let’s the TRAITOR theories begin:
It’s possible Wolverine allowed Cyke to “recruit” one of the new kids to his side to get the inside track on the rival X-Men.
Could the traitor be working for the Avengers? Just because Captain America formed the Uncanny Avengers to bridge the gap between mutants doesn’t mean someone like Tony Stark wouldn’t want a spy in Cyke’s camp.
Emma Frost? Scott and Emma are over. Emma has been in the Hellfire Club, lead the Dark X-Men during Dark Reign and has slipped into the role of traitor, seductress and villain to suit her needs. Emma could be secretly working for Tony Stark or Wolverine. Plus, you know the return of Jean Grey is really getting to her!
Who do you think the traitor is and why?
Brian Michael Bendis knows! Can’t wait to see how he plays this out! The book is out February 13th.

I think it might be Magneto. Is that white costume some indication of his true character? Maybe he thinks being a spy will make things good with Wanda and Pietro again.
That’s a good theory and “ironic” that Erik would be the spy working against the revolutionaires. Erik probably holds some mixed feelings over Scott killing Charles.
