    Imo... I really don't like him and don't approve of how he's a member of Uncanny X-Froce!!! Other peeps might like him but I find him cliche-ish!!!

     whore jk 
    but really he's interesting that he has different powers 
    he has those Telepathic influence powers and the external nervous system 
    but he seems smart since he can shield his mind from other telepaths 
    as far as being like deadpool NO Fantomex keeps everything secret hence the french accent Deadpool tells people everything all the time

    Sweet thanks for all the help. I love to draw, and getting by art is not a problem. It's just like a person's personality... Some people act differently than other people, just like people have different styles of art. I normally never judge a persons' artwork. I'm a pretty down to Earth dude

    No problem. I love being able to introduce people to story lines and characters that I love. This was one of my favorite runs of X-Men ever and it brought Emma Frost back onto the map and introduced two pretty badass characters (Xorn and Fantomex). That's true about art.

    Do you really think Quitely's art is that bad? Personally, whilst it can be a little stylized at certain points during the run, I tended to really quite dig how he portrayed the characters; Also, I loved his redesigns of the costumes, and all in all, I generally favour his art.

    I liked the redesigns. Except for Emma's. I'm not a fan of the camel toe look. His art in this was that bad, yes. The heads look like lumpy potatoes. His art in Batman and Robin isn't that bad. His art in New X-Men.....was horrific.

    Well, the thing about cliches, is the set up, and then subsequent attempts to make them seems deeper than the facade they present, and see with Fantomex, thats his theme, on the surface, everything about him is cliche, but also false. He ain't my favorite, and I linger a slight grudge against him, because I am a Darkstar and X-Factor fan lol, but for real, he has some real potential, plus would play off so many characters so well. Right now, his interaction and conversations with Deadpool, have been great, and he adds an interesting new dynamic to Angel Betsy relationship.  
     
    Just imagine the possibilities with him and Gambit on a mission together. I really cant wait to see if PAD might right him in X-Factor. I see him and Jamie arguing, M being really snobby to him, and Shatterstar wishing to engage him. (uh warrior fighting and all that not lol)

    Fantomex is an inspired creation, and is, one of the, unfortunately, few reasons remaining to pick up X-Books.

    I'd say X-Force was a little better on both.  The current story arc is one we've seen a few times before, so I'm waiting to see what they do with it before I form a real opinion.  It's been interesting to see the Deadpool dynamic added to the book though, so far it hasn't taken away from the gritty tone of the book.
