SO... what will happen to the New Mutants!?

By papad1992 5 Comments

Since we all know Cannonball and Sunspot have been "promoted" to the status of Avenger... what does that mean for the rest of our New Mutants!? The series will be cancelled soon because of the Marvel NOW! movement, so where does that leave our characters?

Moonstar, X-Man, Magma, Cypher, and Warlock?

With news of a new a new writer and new direction for the Adjectiveless X-Men title, Chamber will be included as part of the "team," Would it be possible that Moonstar, Magma, etc, would join Jono in this new team or would it be highly unlikely! It seems since Husk left the school, it would only be logical that she be with Chamber (since their history together) but since his admittance to the school, it seems that relationship has been non-existent! What do you guys think... where should these characters go? And on another note, what do you guys think of this Chamber and team book? Should be interesting!

I dunno what will happen, but I hope they end up somewhere. I haven't read it every month, but I pick up an arc every now and then, and I've enjoyed it quite a bit. These characters have a lot more history and charm than some of the ones who are staying in monthly books. Dani, X-Man, Cypher, and Warlock are just very unique characters. Magma is a little more blah to me.

In terms of Chamber, I don't really have an opinion.

I really do not see either Cannonball or Sunspot lasting on any Avengers squad long. My guess would be that some end up at the Jeannie School and maybe X-Factor for now, so a reunion is not out of the question down the road. Unless someone comes up with an original take on the New Mutants crew, I really do not think they can hold a title long term anymore.

Well, Dani Moonstar is one of my favorite characters so, I would only hope she gets used properly! There's nothing worse for a fan to see their favorite character getting written wrong! I haven't followed the New Mutants series since the story Fall of the New Mutants... but I know it's been going downhill for awhile! To be honest... I don't really care for Warlock, Cypher, or X-Man and Magma doesn't really impress me, but Dani is an awesome character! I'd like to see her in a different environment!

I really do not think Marvel knows what to do with Dani at this point. Look at all the different reinventions she has had, mostly terrible, I think they are just throwing things on the wall and hoping something sticks. They need to:

1 - Stop changing her powerset randomly and just slowly grow the base one with new potential applications, her history in this regard is bizarre even for comics.

2 - Give her a purpose with the X-Men that makes sense considering how vocal she is as well as being a former team leader.

I personally think that the New Mutants team has run it's course, the kids have grown up and they need to move on rather than get reunited every 5-10 years for nostalgia's sake.

I agree... she was actually best, imo, as a teacher during the New X-Men run! I thought she was well handled then. And now since mutants are back... I wonder what powerset will she get!?
