    Im just gonna state for the record, I don't care who at marvel says Psylocke is an omega level telepath, cause she ISNT.   The ONLY omega level telepaths out there are Jean Grey, Legion.  I have yet to see ANYTHING that would make me believe otherwise in the pages of a marvel comic.


    Therefore, putting Psylocke up against the Shadow King is a mismatch.  Xavier struggled to beat SK, even needing help to beat him a few times if memory serves and Psylocke is child's play for prof X.


    I do like seeing Blob get some facetime again, even if it is an AoA-clone.

    When I said go after Mystique I meant not making a straight line for either Mystique or Sabertooth yet in the course of a large battle or one on one the AoA Nightcrawler may have to defend himself or someone else from wither character. Maybe not kill yet neither is he imo just not going to do anything or stand by and see one of the X-men harmed or killed. Would love to also see Mystique and the AoA Nightcrawler in either a mini or series fighting side by side yet Marvel seems dead set on keeping Mystique a villian. So imo that will not happen. Still Marvel has suprised me before.

    According to background stories being hinted at, AoA Nightcrawler is going to be gunning for AoA Blob, not Mystique.  Remender had said in X-Position the other day that there would be emotional impact in Nightcrawler meeting up with this world's Mystique though.  How I'd love to see the two of them working together like in those brief 4 issues of X-Calibre...that was great.


    The Brotherhood team looks pretty good to me.  I'm interested to see what is done with the 3 Omegas.

    There's only ONE member of the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants is from the AoA universe.

    I wanted to see Mystique as kind of a good gal too. In fact, I wanted to see her as a member of X-Force. Oh well, at least she'll be in its pages.

    I'll enjoy seeing all the rematches between X-Force members and the Brotherhood's members. The three I'm most looking forward to are Deadpool vs Blob round 2, Nightcrawler vs Mystique and ESPECIALLY the Shadow King vs Psylocke again. I hope that the Shadow King pushes Psylocke so far that she has to turn into Death Psylocke again to defeat him.

    not sure i like the team very much. theres to many AOA members, and not enough mainstream MU. i think they could have done better




    I agree they could have taken more characters from the MU. Maybe they might be setting up a new crossover event.

    Oh well I guess Marvel wants to keep Mystique as a villian at least for the time being. Disapointed but I like the character so superhero or supervillian as long as I get to see more of her in the X-comics I'm happy.


    Agreed about the roster. If written correctly can be a very deadly team. Read up on the Shadow King and how he escaped from being eaten by the Panther God. Cheesy and contrived yet plausiable. After all he was consumed by a god not just the average character. I'm interested to see how Mystique will react to the A0A Nightcrawler. After alll while he is Nighcrawlwer not the one from the 616 universe. Shoulld be interesting to see how she reacts when he tells her to get lost. After all she may attempt to try to reconnect with at least one of her children. rogue wants nothing to do with her and Nighcrawler from AoA may also want nothing to do with her. Or how she will react to a Nightcralwe with a temperament and attitude so very similar to hers. After all the AoA version is the complete reverse of the 616 version. You know what I like the AoA version so much better. Sabertooth vs Wolverine I'm not expecting anything new, fresh or surprises. The usually knock down beat up on each other until one is unconciscous or really hurt routine.  I feel sorry for the AoA Blob. fighting Deadpool is enough to drive anyone insane. I'm expecting the equivalent of a comedy routine imo. Fantomex vs Skinless Man. The only one I'm expecting something new from. Nothing on Wikipedia about the character.

    Looks like the identity of the members in the new Brotherhood of Evil Mutants has been revealed.
    Of course, we know about Sabertooth and Mystique, but the members also include the AoA Blob, The Skinless Man and The Shadow King.

    This is according to the cover of Uncanny X-Force #27: www.comicvine.com/skinless-man/29-82288/...

    Not a bad roster. There's a villain for each of X-Force's members. Sabertooth vs Wolverine, The Skinless Man vs Fantomex, Mystique vs AoA Nightcrawler, Shadow King vs Psylocke, and AoA Blob vs Deadpool.
