@raggedscarecrow: Hey, thanks for the suggestions, I'll have to look into that Hellion rumor. I just don't understand why they feel the need to keep creating new characters instead of developing the ones they have. Also, I know that the timeline in the marvel universe is unpredictable, but the new x-men should be finishing school soon, if not already.
One thing the Academy X team has over a lot of other characters is how brutal their childhood was. Like, most x-men never killed until adulthood, almost all the Academy X members were forced to kill someone at one point or another. Not to mention getting sent to Hell/Limbo that felt like years to them, that has to do some serious psychological damage. THEN their was X-Force for X-23/Elixir, Hellion losing his hands, Mercury getting tortured, Dust's scene from "Young X-men" where she goes back to her home country and starts killing men who are criminals/pillagers/terrorists, ect ect. My point is their is a lot of untapped character development that would make amazing comics.
I could totally see a new series introduced that focuses around them, sort of like how they re-launched new mutants, I absolutely loved seeing and reading Warlock/Cypher's character uncloaked. The way he talked, and analyzed, it was great. Anyways, I mean, of course a die-hard New X-men fan is going to argue that they have potential character development, but they also have a history of taking things into their own hands, and they haven't really picked sides between Wolverine/Cyclops (although I'm not 100 percent caught up). I see them at the school, but I honestly don't think that's where they would want to be. Taking into account all the shit they have seen, I think they would want to be apart of the mutant revolution - and for those who don't want to fight (Anole/Prodigy), they would go out of loyalty.
