Hell X-men Legends but with an original character would be a slam dunk.This is genuinely the only game I think I hate. Kotor/Mass Effect but with X-Men is such a fucking easy layup and SK genuinely had no intention of making it.

We had Marvel Heroes
As satisfied and excited I am for how HoX and PoX turns out, anybody else concerned with the X-Team line ups in the aftermath?
For example: Jean Grey on an X-Force team?! Aren't the X-Force supposed to be clandestine assassination type of squad. A lot of the character line ups seem so out of place and lacking relevance to the squad line up.
Marauders line up not having Gambit, Sabertooth, or even Archangel. The characters who would be or should be a shoe in due to history (ex: Mutant Massacre) and association. Just seems like a missed opportunity to me. Uncanny X-Force (Rick Remender) is the type of perfect storm type of teams I was looking for.
Here is the link for the Team Line-Ups
New Mutants squad looks exquisite straight up.
The solicits don't really say very much, but I think the fact that one of these X-men teams is calling itself "Marauders" here is a pretty big hint that the mutant massacre did not/may not happen in the post HoX status quo.
Can you think of ANY reason any of those Xmen would name their team after a pack of killers that were their greatest antagonists for years? It's like finding out the next Avengers team led by Steve Rogers was running around calling itself "Masters of Evil" or Peter Parker started a team of spider-people and called it "The Sinister Six."
That's what makes it strange to me and actually piques interest. Seeing the team name "Marauders" automatically makes me think of the Massacre. Bro, I hope they don't just erase that from the actual cannon of the X-Men. It's such a seminal and pivotal moment. Marauders instead could have been a great villains perspective book like a Thunderbolts with Zemo or a Dark Avengers type of thing.
Hickman is the Polygon article saying Marauders is his favorite and amazing. So best believe I'll be reading these all. Feels good that the X-Men are back in the forefront.

But he also said that Marauders is the longest title in development, and I guess it was not his idea, it was the writer's pitch. I guess he integrated all other ideas into his plan, but the choice of naming them Marauders maybe wasn't his idea.
"Marauders is an amazing book," Hickman said immediately, when asked. "And it gets the world of what we're doing in a way that is perfect and unique. The other books are cool, they get it, but Gerry had a distinct advantage because he has been in the writers room every time I've pitched this, so it's been in his head a longer period of time. [...] He heard my pitch and said 'Oh my god, I want to do this book.'"

Option 2So all or lifes are one continuous cycle like groundhog day where she is always born the same year, or is it a straight timeline where she is born again the year she died?
I'm sure I'm not making sense, so basically my question is, for example:
1) Life 1 born in 1920, died in 1974. Life 2 born in 1974 died in 1993. Life 3 born in 1993 died in 2015, etc
Or
2) Life 1 born in 1920 died in 1994. Life 2 born in 1920 died in 1940. Life 3 born in 1920 died in 1970 etc

Marvel's rules for time travel are that time travel creates alternate realities,
Her power is probably more accurately a psychic link to alternate reality selves that activates from the endpoint of one instance's life at the beginning of another's, which would be perceived as reincarnation.
As for the X-Force team. Jean and Beast being the conscience for a black ops style team could work very well. It can be argued (by Cyclops himself even) that the biggest mistake of the previous X-Force team was it having no moral compass to help reign it in. The odd man on that team to me is Quinten. I can't believe Wolvie would let a child be on an team of killers seeing how his school was to prevent exactly that.
example: 2099 was originally the canon future of the marvel universe. When marvel decided to move on from it, it was shifted to an alternate reality.
Post age of ultron, 2099 is no longer an alterate reality, but the future of the marvel universe again. However, the spiderman 2099 v.3 book went into detail on this, explaining that events that happened in the present would change what 2099 was. Attempts to get "back" to 2099 as we knew it repeatedly failed as the future simply kept changing due to events that happened (or did not happen) in the present. You could easily time travel to Marvel 616 in the year 2099, but every time the attempt was made the world was radically different.
I strongly recommend NOT doing this.
Joke title.Gambit is the witness to what? I haven't read the comic yet. Spoil away.
I didn't make it up or have any idea how the joke title came to be. But if I had to guess, it's probably because Gambit hasn't been overly relevant in anything for a good 20+ years and the title is lying about his importance in these books.Forgive me. Its not an obvious joke. Meta? Reference is over my head.
clearly the title should be changed to Moira's Bizarre Adventure, no one wants to be reminded of Gambit, not even Gambit.
Gambit is the witness to what? I haven't read the comic yet. Spoil away.
Uncanny X-Men #287 (The Witness, Malcolm and Randall get murked)Gambit is the witness to what? I haven't read the comic yet. Spoil away.

So you saying Moira 9 could have died, then reincarnated as Moira X, but then Moira 9 was resurrected by Apocalypse?I bet the explanation for Moira 9 still going despite 10 being born is that reincarnation and resurrection are two distinct things. Moira 9 died, but was then resurrected by Apocalypse as horseman.
I think there is a more simpler explanation of the lives that go on.I bet the explanation for Moira 9 still going despite 10 being born is that reincarnation and resurrection are two distinct things. Moira 9 died, but was then resurrected by Apocalypse as horseman.

Moira IX lives on til X^2 because she knows about Rasputin, Cardinal and the Tower when she's explaining the future to Prof. X in her Moira X life. When the timelines on the graph aren't solid, it just means that there is more story to tell.
In other words the graph is only for the HoX #2 issue, we'll probably see more events added as the series progress.
Unless the book is just called Maurders and not the team. There have been other books that have done that in the past.
They have been talking about a pirate style theme for the book and the actual definition of a maurader doesn't really have much to do with massacre. The term maurader means raider, looter, pirate, etc. The book is obvious not supposed to be about a villian team so we will see what it does.

comicsexplained is always good
That's what it looks like to me also.The big thing confusing me is how time works with Moira being reincarnated.
Is she born in say 74, and when she dies she is reincarnated back in 74? As that's how I read it.
Yes, she goes back to her same original birth, she just remembers everything from her previous life.The big thing confusing me is how time works with Moira being reincarnated.

I get the sliding timeline and Marvels timeline is just confusing, but yeah

I saw several of his vids and for the bordering-on-obnoxious amount of times he says "I've been reading comics for 25 years" or "I probably know more than 99% of people out there"....he makes some glaring mistakes...and without a "don't quote me" or "I could be wrong but...", nope.
I'm just incredibly excited for Hickman'sWolverine & The SummersX-Men book.
Ah, didn't know that.He said basically everyone is gonna be in it, so I wouldn't be surprised if it's just like Avengers where after that first arc you get a bunch of issues focusing on different combinations of characters or even one-offs like when he introduced a new Smasher.
