X-Man Joins the X-Men?

X-Man is finally an X-Man?


No Caption Provided

Well, I suppose it’s official, now? X-Man is officially an X-Man, after 15 odds years of being an “associate." He’ll be joining Blade, the Savage She-Hulk and Spidey in the ranks of unconventional super-people who can finally proclaim, “We are the X-Men!” Although, ironically, X-Man’s probably the one with the best claim to membership, yet.  Actually, I think it’s clear, now, that when people look back on 2010, they’re going to regard as the year-of-unconventional-line-ups-that-were-announced-one-character-at-a-time.  Seriously… the Avengers, the Secret Avengers, the Avengers Academy Image even got in on the game with both the faux Guardians of the Globe and the real ones.  I’m not arguing though. It's definitely working at turning heads.

You know, when I happened upon a big stack of Age of Apocalypse comics recently and got reacquainted with Mr. Nate Grey, I was reminded of how I think he should seriously get the award for most the most convoluted character in comics. See, Cable’s understood to have a pretty convoluted life story already, right? You’d think Stryfe was more convoluted because he’s the evil clone of Cable, and that’d be true. But X-Man… well... he’s the younger, alternate-reality version of Cable, adding two more complications to an already long list.  

Either way, he’s an X-Man, now. So rejoice!

She's been back around the X-Men for a while now. She was teaming up with Wolverine in the recent X-23 one-shot. I didn't read the Nation X mini, but I believe she also made an appearance there.

I kew about the Nation X appearance, but she ended up leaving without actually going to the island. Didn't know abot the other appearance. But with X-Man appearance in Dark X-Men i figured it was a matter of time bbefroe he was brought back.

Hope wearing the Phoenix uniform which we know what that means, Magneto the master of magnetism, and the Mutant Shaman, Nate Grey. I feel sorry for any enemies of the X-Men.

Seems unlikely to happen. Magneto is a good guy where X-Man comes from, and he's been playing nice in 616 for a while now. X-Man also doesn't rush headlong into fights like he used to. Hell, he let Osborn and company capture him.

I don't mind random characters being 'X-Men' but I'd rather Jubilee stay powerless & away from the X-Men than be included because she's been transformed into a vampire.

Him being in the X-Men is cool, however the others I'm not so sure about. Savage She-Hulk and Blade are more hybrids than mutants, and Spider-Man? Eh, everyone's complaining about Deadpool, but Spider-Man has multiple series', guest stars in everyone's comics, and is now both an X-Man and and an Avenger... just saying.

First, this explains why Blade is there.
 
Second, did Jubes get her powers back, too?

A ha! I think I got it now.........I doubt these are going to be X-men, aside from the preexisting coinciding members with the newbs.  It's def just a story direction.  On Marvel's website next to the Elektra pic it says that Angel has to have enough money to hire Elektra or something like that which leads me to believe it's just going to be a brief story arc.  Probably the X men need to investigate somewhere where mutants aren't allowed whether it's by law or magic or whatever so they hire a group of friends, acquaintances, mercenaries, and I guess vampires to do the dirty.  Another possibility which can coincide with my earlier theory or be a separate route altogether is that maybe the pictures just show who are major players in the new story arc but not necessarily helping the X-men.  Jubilee becoming a vampire would def serve purpose for Blade to get involved because we know how he feels about vampires.  He prob tries to kill her and then the Xmen fight him for a truce until they can cure her.  The root of the problem is in a vampire dimension where mutants, cept for Nate for some reason, can't travel so they hire these misfits to play Batman in el vampiro land!..........Thats sounds about right..........I'm taking bets, who puts money on my theory?!

Dracula has no chance of appearing in this, he was killed in MI:13, his coffin was burned as well. Marvel is putting him away for a while, or I'll be severely disappointed that 3 of the last 4 blade stories have pitted him against the same villain.

Maybe she joined Mutant X got bit by storm, jumped back into this earth and now joined the x-men to redeem herself and prove that vampires are people too!  Either that or Marvel is messing with us, don't kill the messenger that's what deadpool told me.

Check Dark X-Men if you want to see more of Nate Grey in action.

saying no chance is a little hard for me to agree with.  given the adverts with Blade, X-Man (fought vampires, check his series) and a possible vampire Jubilee, as well as the other Heroic Age solicits with Captain Britain and Black Knight from MI:13? also Spider-Man was a foe of Dracula's, obviously. in fact as someone else brought up the Mutant X storyline, therein Elektra teamed up with the X-Men to fight the team of the Beyonder and Dracula. repercussions? add to it Marvel decided they wanted to make Dracula into a more prolific villain, on Dooms level in the Marvel U, and are commemorating the fact that they acquired the rights to publish Bram Stokers work in the same month. there are alot of coincidences there if you ask me. i cant really rule out that the writers looked at the story in MI:13 (and really death is to Dracula as is sleep) and got inspired to have the X-Men once again fight there classic foe. and really back when Tomb was running everyone fought him on a consistent basis. would you really be that "severely disappointed " if the worlds greatest vampire hunter had to go against the worlds greatest vampire again? and if not Dracula then who else should it be, and could it be?
