    Looking at this image we see Professor X in the front.  Or at least we can assume it's him.  He's been known to do a shady thing or two in the past.  He's exploited children he claims he was trying to help.  The question is, is Norman behind this?  You would think that Charles would've put a patent on any team beginning with the letter "X." 

    The discussion came up before whether or not Norman had the right to form a team and dub them "Avengers."  Maybe Tony was stupid enough to place the Avengers charter (if there even is one) along with all his other holdings that were taken away when he lost control of SHIELD and the Avengers Tower.  It just doesn't seem right that anyone can band together and dub themselves with the name of an existing team.  Isn't that what happened when the Great Lakes Avengers first formed?  Hawkeye went to see what was what.

    So what is the story behind these Dark X-Men?  Maybe Charles is bummed that Cyclops has basically removed him from having anything to do with them.  I'm surprised to see Cloak and Dagger.  Last I heard (last summer), they were supposed to get their own series (or mini-series).  I guess they finally figured out that being on a team starting with an "X" would give them a lot more exposure.  And is that Daken?  Is he really taking after his dad and is going to be on both the Dark Avengers and Dark X-Men?

    Is that really Cloak and Dagger? They don't really fit in this group, I was assuming it was Exodus and Emma Frost. Along with Mimic, Namor, Daken, Xavier and Polaris presumably....but who's the guy with the Omega symbol?

     I think its a creative idea. Something new and to be honest I think it looks badass. Always been curious why Cloak & Dagger had  never been a part of the Xavier Institute. And Namor is supposedly the first known mutant. Maybe this is a "What If" type story. Or something set in the future. The art so far looks niiiiice and I'm excited to see Prof. X leading the X-Men again.

    That's the question.  Are the ones we can see the obvious people or someone 'posing' as them (like in Dark Avengers)?

    Why would Emma go against Cyclops, will X-Force get involved, and will all the X-Titles feel the affects of DR?

    Ho hum.  Another gimmicky team that probably won't last ten issues.  I'm not taking the bait on this one Marvel.

    I'm eagerly awaiting the Dark Runaways, Dark Fantastic Four and Dark Power Pack.  Oh yeah, lets also have a Dark New Warriors, Dark Guardians of the Galaxy and Dark Squadron Supreme.  'Cause this is Dark Reign.  And things are really Dark

    I'm pretty fed up with Marvel right now.

    I actually like this idea... Emma is wearing Black (for a change)
    Mimic is back... yay!!!!
    Namor is finally with his kind, that including Cloak and Dagger
    The Omega guy.... ??????
    Prof. is back
    Daken....... weellll...... OK

    Here's the thing a couple of days ago in a forum I stated that the Cabal was taking over

    - Namor has the Dark Avengers

    - Loki has the Mighty Avengers

    - Hood will probably get the New Avengers

    - I assumed Emma had the X-Men

    - Now Dark X-Men include Namor (and Emma)

    They really are taking over

    Why the heck is Daken on this team?!  Isn't bad enough his father appears on multiple teams. I don't think we need more of him too.

    That's what I meant about him taking after his dad (in the original post).  If Wolverine can be on the X-Men, X-Force and New Avengers, why can't Daken be on multiple teams.

    And as for Emma, maybe she's gonna be pissed when she finds out about X-Force being kept from her.

    What level is that? I'm excited about this comic to be honest. Seems alot of people are hating on it even though they have limited information about it. And just cause their appearing in this comic doesn't mean they still wont get a mini. Lineup looks official in my opinion.
