After Secret Wars it is true that there were only three mutant comics and there was a clear push to the Inhumans but it does not make sense to hate them for that. They have a rich history and good characters before all that.

Imagine saying "Man, the X-men have it so bad. They only have 3 team books!"

So if we get events who else wants a 70's one with all the older characters getting their classic looks? (Including school Girl Gwen XD) or a classic avengers costume one

Taking into account all the comics they had before and the huge roster they have ... Yes, 3 were few. I mean, Peter Parker right now has more comics than that. Peter Parker, not counting the rest of Spider-men.

Yeah, spider-man also sells like three times as much as the x-men.

A bit sad Ant Man doesn't seem to be playable, especially since we also thought he might make it into MvC back in the day. I always assumed it was just tough to implement that kind of power-set into a game that wasn't dedicated to him, but then Wasp is here so I guess that wasn't a roadblock.

Really want an MCU-based skin for Valkyrie though. But I'm not surprised she's got her usual look here, if they weren't going to adjust Gamora and Drax for their MCU looks they weren't going to do it for her.

Surprised it took this long to get any confirmation of Vision, I think he was in the original trailers.

All discussion is absurd, right now HOX / POX is the new era for the mutants and the writer himself has said that they will return to be a central piece in Marvel. Hickman has admitted that the franchise has been mistreated in recent years.

Kirby didn't create Stripperella.

You know exactly what I was getting at.

The Inhumans are fine, I guess, but maybe a pack of incestuous space racists can't run a whole corner of the Marvel U the way the X-Men did. Matt Fraction's pitch for Game of Thrones in Space would have appealed to the core strengths of the Inhumans and instead they got turned into diet Mutants. Then again we got Kamala Khan and Lunella Lafayette out of it, so it wasn't all bad.

Does anyone have any recommendations for an actual good Cyclops storyline? My main exposure to him is through the movies and cartoons, where he's a tool, and tangential X-Men exposure in the late eighties/early nineties where everyone else was a much more interesting character.

Things I know about Cyclops:
  1. Eye Beams cannot start fires because they are actually energy from the punch dimension.
  2. Hit his head on a rock and now his brain/eyes are busted.
  3. Dad is a space pirate.
  4. Wolverine (who is cool) is also irritated by him.

They're not space racists. And that incest thing always gets thrown around due to dumb as hell misinfo

Joss Whedon's run is probably your best sell on the character.

Both Punisher and Moon Knight are a given for Marvel Knights. I'm curious about who else will be in that pack, though.
