Description Like the old french saying goes ," Jamais 2 sans 3 !"
Now , this is where actual x-men appear , a good chunk of favourite anti-heroes, shady people & pretty cool heroes , they are posing in front of a devastated building (don't ask, I might have been lazy with this one ...). Rolecall :

FORGE Well I think that good old "quick repairman" is an excellent supporting character, naysayers takes a hike to hell...

X-23 I 'm gonna repeat myself about Laura but ...Marjorie Liu gave her a distinctive voice so I warmed up to her, but screw the new x-men or x-force bullshit!

FANTOMEX & E.V.A Charlie Cluster 7, weapon + made mutate , literally Diabolik in white spandex , desiring to take out the weapon+ program once & for all, E.V.A is his love & locomotion mean

JUBILEE Did I mention that Jubes is an awesome character ? Well repetition can't harm ya , you know ? Always humorous , optimistic & facing baddies twice her size with plasma on each hand & a joke on her lips & BTW remember [link]

WOLVERINE Okay here , there's no James Howlet BS! he's known as Logan, kay ? no weapon x story could be done without its most famous,& I want to use my favourite version of Logan , the man fighting his murderous instincts (what made him great in the past) & who would never let a kid reexperience the shit he's been through!

AGENT ZERO Nord is very bitter and guilt-ridden over having agreed to become a Weapon X operative again -- especially given how easy it was for the Director to have him collaborate. On some level, he thinks that he was a coward for taking the deal rather than die.He is evidently depressed and disgusted, sometimes to the point of contemplating suicide - though he knows that it's too late for that. He has no life, and just keeps working for the Man.Well that is , for NOW....

JOHN WRAITH Also known as Kestrel, might know more than he'll ever tell . Lives in a house that seems to be designed by PeeWee Herman 's weapon manufacturing cousin...

GAMBIT Now what can I say about the cajun version of non-drunk Jack Sparrow ?Remember it's a 'people' thing that has him sticking around the x-men, and not philosophical (unlike Bishop , who later started to know them better). Some of themβ€”Storm, Jubilee, X-23, Rogueβ€”would trust him with their lives, without question.For the others he's too much of a wild card!I love Gambit so much more when he's being a manipulative, self interested dick on his own, always pulling a Bugs Bunny on the cops. Let's have more of the fun , grey anti-hero I say!

BLAQUESMITH Cable's mentor ... What , you think I forgot ?

RACHEL SUMMERS Another reason to ignore the most recent Claremont run, this Rachel is the badass from Excalibur, JF Moore Askani rising mini & Weinberg 's Cable. A fiery strong headed Badass! While having quit the x-men for a more down to earth life (after surviving 3 dystopias, can you really blame her ? ), she 'll help Cable in "Apocalypse Now"...

DOMINO Kickass Merc & luck tempter extraordinaire , I do think it only fair for Neena to appear here...

DEADPOOL went from a one note, Deathstroke rip-off to a man fighting for redemption under Kelly, fighting for respect with Simone and to become a hero under Nicieza and he did it with a kick to the face and a joke on his lips.Wade nowadays is overused & misused, & the fact we lost Cable & Cable lost him harmed both characters for me... BUT NOT HERE GUYS! Not only he'll have a well deserved revenge over some bastards who fucked over him but I have plans for Wade ...

CABLE Ah Nathan , one of the main factors behind this entire retool (the others are you know who ) He indeed allowed Apocalypse to come back , but the reason is that he has to find a way to drive the deadly mutant away once & for all...& it'll be the hardest task for him . This new battle is a game with different rules , & the colatteral damage will be colossal ...


Now Kiddies , I do hope that I've given a juicy enough clue as to who will appear next time !

I don't get your comment about Laura. Did you meant that you didn't like her before? And what's with the hate on the New X-Men and X-Force?

Easy answer , it's not that I disliked her , but I was mostly indifferent. But after reading Marjorie Liu's take , I reconsidered my opinion of her.
The New X-men ? Let us say that I have a huge bile-filled lothing of Morrison's crap and the recomposition of the teams (not to mention a lot of great characters get butchered whether story-wise or characterization wise ) . And as for the new x-force ...well... when Stryfe is the guy I root for to butcher the "heroes" that shows how I feel about the new marvel .

Oh, well okay. Have you also read X-23's two origin comics, Innocene Lost and Target X? They're really excellent books for introducing who X-23 is. I'd say those two comics are right up there with Liu's take. But that's just my opinion of course.

And fair enough on New X-Men. Although I don't really recall any characters get butchered in that arc, or maybe I jyst don't remember it.

To be fair, I don't think X-Force was meant to a super heroic comic book. It was more about showing the dark, gritty nature of the world. Again, just my opinion.

Another awesome pic, I am a fan of Jubilee as well and you can't go wrong with forge

It's great to see that other people recognise the greatness of Jubilee . This is a character I love with MY soul! here's the explanation [link]

Also glad to see people appreciating Forge , seeing how much of a bum rap the guy 's getting .

I know what you mean, Jubes is great character and deserves to be seen in comics more.

Jubilee seems to be a little out of place between all those old soldiers and mercenaries.
I like X-23Β΄s sweet, peacefull expression. Most artists drawing her as an agressive fighter.

Light characters define the darker ones & vice versa . Hell I am as a much a fan of "goody 2 shoes " or stabilising characters as I am a fan of "edgy" characters or disruptors .
There aren't only mercenaries, we have also thieves like Gambit & Fantomex & those who define the " life sucks" statement like Rachel Summers(I mean seriously, she survived the DOFP timeline , the Askani & the Mojoverse . I really cut her slack ...)

I love how Jubilee stood odd one out from most of the Anti-Heroes in this fanart, I enjoy her sidekick days in some Wolverine issues from the 90s as she lightens up the mood of dark gritty Wolverine comics with her sense of humor.
And in fact, I cannot stand her haters bashing her as "Inferior to Kitty Pryde" or "useless", the bashers need to learn that Kitty had grown up and moved on and the later writers regressing the age from a mature young woman to a teenage snob for Kitty pisses me off.

devilkais In reply to Mitchfoxbane [2012-03-29 15:09:48 +0000 UTC]

Well I am glad that she's "inferior" to Kitty, because that made her ironically a vastly superior character . And yeah, adult Kitty is where I started to tolerate the character. WIth teen kitty , if I had a gun with 1 bullet , it'd be either me or her ...and don't get me started on Whedon's run ...

Well done I agree about Forge, I hate it how they made him into an idiot and they killed him off (seemingly? I hope so!)
Wolvie, Gambit and Jubilee, in the versions you mentioned & depicted, are the ones that I'd like to read about in actual canon comics! Probably never going to happen.......
Oddly, I've always liked X-23's character (except in Evo).

devilkais In reply to LadyMadCat [2012-02-21 19:34:49 +0000 UTC]

Yeah , about X-23 , I understand that they've made her a wee bit overcompetent in Evo ( contrast with Logan who was far more well balanced there . Glad you liked the versions I've selected , I really did my best to bring the absolute best in all characters I've carefully selected (& I hope this will be my most popular deviation ! After all it's a multi part ! Even though I wonder if it's possible to glue each part afterwards ...)

BelovedFanboy [2012-02-21 01:03:11 +0000 UTC]

Yeah. Logan is Logan, and Jubilee is awesome.
And I've always liked John Wraith, the guy who's a living proof that you don't need to have powers in order to be awesome. (Well, he does have powers, but he prefers to hide them, using his guns instead)
