One Of These X-Men Is A Traitor!

What does the newest Marvel teaser tell us about the upcoming UNCANNY X-MEN series?

Earlier today Marvel unveiled their newest teaser; this time for UNCANNY X-MEN. The image, illustrated by artist Chris Bachalo, features Cyclops, Magik and several other characters that were not as easily recognizable. One of them in particular, however, piqued our interest. Could we see the return of Lady Mastermind in the UNCANNY X-MEN series? It will be interesting to see what happens. What do you think of the teaser? Which of these characters do you think will be a traitor to the team?

UNCANNY X-MEN #1

I hope it's Emma! I think it would be cool to see her against Cyclops on the battle field!

Emma.

She's still angry at Scott and wants to go back to the actual school. Plus she can keep an eye on New/Old Jean that way.

either emma or one the newbies but less likely emma. i could see the newbies being uncertain and thinkin they are on the wrong side and emma loves being a teacher so could see her wanting to join up wolvie's crew. magik, magneto and cyclops are oust by everyone so dont see them betraying each other, their all they have.

for those who say these are the traitors please, read avx and previous two years of uncanny x-men. wolvie and his crew turned their backs on their people when the going got too tough for them (which is totally out of character but whatev). kitty and magik are best friends but during all the drama she has been going through where was kitty when magik needed her? its suppose to be sisters before misters, but guess not when wolverine's involved :(

p.s. cyclops was right

I hope its Cyclops, but only cause I dislike Cyclops with a passion (hey I read all Xmen from 1964 on, I have a lot of material to judge here)

@knighthood: Thanks, But I think Cyclops. He already betrayed the X-men ideal, so he's well on his way to being a traitor.

I don't even care much who the traitor is, but I really hope it isn't Cyclops. I'm tired of him being a jerk. What happened to the Cyclops from the 90s TV show.

She'd do the same if/when the opportunity  presented itself, IMO

I loathe their new looks. Chopping off Emma's hair, Cyclops Judge Dredd can't see-helmet, Magik and Magneto..oy. Series I want, the looks can be changed.

I'm not sure if this means anything, but I located the cover for issue 5, which seems to show Emma Frost, Magneto, Illyana and of course Cyclops being still on the team.

I realise this is dependent on whether or not the Mole/Traitor has been fully exposed and that it's not one of them.

What's up with Cyclops mask? How can he even see? not to mention Magneto's helmet, how can he see anything unless it's right in front of him? Not digging Bachalo art anymore.

cyclops mask looks freaking ridiculous.

bachalo has great art but i felt his best art was drawing oddball weird stuff and i dont think he is suitable for superhero.

Love the Chris Bachalo art, used to love his Generation X stuff back in the day too. Although it's kind of like JRJR or Mike Allred, it's an acquired taste.

@nappystr8: Gotcha. One of the first books I picked up was Kyle/Yost's X-Force and I really liked Crain's style, but I've seen a lot of people complain that it's too dark/murky (or, conversely, too flashy) for them. I've grown to appreciate a variety of styles but I totally understand why some people want something very different from what he does; that doesn't mean I'd appreciate people openly bashing him. So I definitely see where you're coming from. Hope the sadness ends soon :)

Cyclops has a giant head and a small face. Aside from them all technically being traitors, I think it'll be Magneto. He's been pissed off at Cyclops pretty much the entire time.

Could it possibly be the names written under the title of the series? Is one of them the traitor?

That isn't Lady Mastermind. That is Emma with short hair and her black outfit except with really bad colouring and illustration

so Magneto has been taking styling lessons from Fantomex and Illyana from Emma Frost. tha'ts kinda cool.

Magik has always been an underused character, she has a great potential for development and storytelling

emma is the obvious choice, but just because it is in character for her. she is a self described teacher-by-nature. i don't think she would be on board with scott recruiting freshly mutated children for whatever crusade he's on this week. she would rather be teaching and helping them at logans school.

I'd say Magik. She's always seemed... unstable to me. Glad to see Emma is changing her appearance. Going for a shorter hairdo.

Digging Magneto's white costume.

Why is Magik not in her gothic lolita skirt like in the Scott Young chibi cover variant?

BTW, I have a feeling that Magik may be the traitor.

I doubt I'll read this, but I think it's Emma and it'll be because she's hoping to get amnesty from Wolverine's X-Men. I'd like to see her in the adjective-less X-Men.

@akbogert: Absolutely nothing wrong with that. There are plenty of very competent and beloved artists that I can't stand as well. It' just I can't remember the last time I read an article where half the comments weren't direct attacks on whatever artist happened to be involved on the book in question. The hyperbole of it all tends to leave me in a very sad place.

That's actually a black dude. He's a new character who was introduced in All-New X-Men #1.
