I also prefer to live in the past...before there were characters like "Doop".
Psylocke died?
Chuck is walking again? (it won't last, it never does.)
Juggernaut is a hero? What about Black Tom?
A star for a brain? This is a mutation?
Husk and Chamber are back? (cool.)
Sounds like the title is getting crowded.

I think it will be cool when he loses the use of his legs again. I can picture Magneto coming back from the attack on Genosha madder than ever getting beaten and right before he escapes saying to Charles something like " by the way Charles, I liked you better when you couldn't walk" and putting some rebar or something through his spine.

Just to expand:
The title was indeed Generation X(Generation NeXt was it's AoA title). Other characters you forgot were Synch(my fave character in the title), and Penance, who turned out to be the real Monet. Long, stupid story there....

The 'fire' coming from Chamber is indeed some kind of Psychic Plasma stuff. (Bear with me here, I havent read the comic in like 7 years, and I'm working from memory.) When his mutant powers activated for the first time, it actuall blew a hole in his chest and the lower part of his face. The Psychic Plasma(I think that is what it's called) also heeps him alive, as he has no mouth to eat with(along with various organs IIRC). Also, I think he is supposed to be extreemly powerful, but a large part of his power is used to just keep him alive.

I dunno....maybe Xorn can heal him and he would be all powerful....or something else stupid......

Xorn hasn't gotten around to fixing Scott's brain damage that prevents him from controlling the flow of his blast, so I doubt Jono's high on the "Get fixed by Xorn" list.

That was an Xavier/Nova only thing, and Morrison wouldn't overuse it.

I've heard Jono's 'fire' called, Psychokinetic, and Psionic energy. His best story moments were versus the UBER-Omega Red, and versus the X-Cutioner. Jono doesn't need to breath, and the psychokinetic energy is what allows him the limited telepathic abilities.

For in depth information I advise you all to check out uncannyxmen.net, their character information section is without rival.

And what's with the Doop-hate? Have you honestly been given a reason to dislike a mascot character? At least he's not as annoying as Warlock.

first off you forgot stacy x

second i think all the current x-books are well done and interesting reads

third if i had it my way and it could be done right i would easly have an x-men team of about 20 to 30 current living characters

cyclops
pheniox
wolverine
storm
bishop
gambit
rogue
iceman
archangle
beast
xorn
juggernaut
jubalee
husk
havok
polaros
lifeguard
cannonball
northstar
prof x
shadowcat
nightcrawler
white queen
forge
and onorary members
sage
gateway
dust
fantomex

I thought Scott's deal was more of a mental block than actual brain damage.....

I guess it depends on the writer........

Ok, i know this is gonna sound stupid, but i have always wondered "What is Husk's power?" I know she can "shed" her skin or whatever, but what possible good does that do her?

it is so she can become things like rubber or steel this way she can become more durable

well.....she often changes to a diamond form in battle, sometimes a cloud/mist-like form for stealthy moving....

At least, she used to....(I read the comics a long time ago, when they first introduced the character, and she was still getting used to her powers)

Psylocke died? - Yes, people die. Adds drama
Chuck is walking again? (it won't last, it never does.) - Its lasted almost 2 years now.
Juggernaut is a hero? What about Black Tom? - Black Tom turned on Juggernaut and left him to die
A star for a brain? This is a mutation? - What, because it doesn't turn him into an instant warrior its not a good mutation? Whats wrong with doing something new?

"Magneto coming back from the attack on Genosha" - He won't back for a while. Marvels new policy (and they seem to be sticking with it) is that once a character is dead, they are dead. No coming back.

I read a recent X-Men comic and Xorn is a character with a rediculous premise that still ends up coming off fairly well imo the sad part is the rest of the team had thoer personalities erased and were turned into a MAD comics parody of Image

Yes X-Men IS stupid now no matter what you are told or how much you want to belive things are better than they have ever been unless you are really willing to accept that Cyclops secondary mutation was turning into an #$%-hole acting like Jerry Springer style trailor trash

Hey EVIL CAP , just because you don't like something dosn't automaticaly make it stupid. I fully enjoy the current story now. And if you can't express you opinion in a manor that dosen't attack other people or try to make them sound like their an idiot because they don't agree with you I would prefer if you didn't post in any of my threads any more.

Psylockeslover, Scott's current problem with being unable to fire his optic blast is indded probably a more psychological issue similar to the one Phat from X-StatiX experienced not too long ago.

What I was actually referring to is the fact that Scott's power doesn't actually naturally need the visor to control flow or intesity. Scott should be abl;e to control those aspects of his power, but when he escaped the airplane crash that apparently killed his parents (I know about Corsair so don't bother correcting me) during the fall his head was struck, causing brain damage that rendered him incapable of controlling his powers as he was supposed to.

As for saying everything is angsty, I really don't agree here. Emma is acting as crude and mean-spirited as she did before being slightly watered-down in Generation X. Scott and Jean were developing a rift in their relationship from before Morrison took to the title, ever since Apocalypse had been in Scott. Wolverine isn't acting out of character, hard to do that anyway considering the many ways he's portrayed. Beast is acting as intelligent and as practical joker-ish as ever, with the exception he is a bit down-trodden by his secondary mutation (Which actually happened in X-Treme X-Men, not New X-Men). Professor is in higher spirits than usual despite a little self-questioning.

Other than those guys, most of the cast is new anyway, from the many students, to Xorn and Dust.

Angst and gritted teath are from Liefeild's New Mutants, not New X-Men.

"Cyclops secondary mutation was turning into an #$%-hole acting like Jerry Springer style trailor trash"

Dude, Morrison is just finally writing these characters like real people. In a real marriage there are problems, people get bored, things come up that put strains on the relationship. When that happens people start look else were (a lot of the time without knowing it). Emma wanted Cyclops, she saw what was happening and took advantage. Cyclops acted lost most men would (remember he never "really" touched her). Even Jean made somewhat of a pass at Wolverine in one the issues. Morrison has made them real people, not just superpowers.

Thats exactly right sluggo, great point. Couldn't have said it better myself.
