With recent issue of Uncanny X-Men showing a future where Apocalypse clone Genesis wreaks havoc, and flashbacks to possible futures all over articles about the future, can it be that most of the heroes and villains will soon die, leaving only super survivors like Wolverine and Hulk around? If it weren't for a few favorites of Gambit getting killed, I'd be all for it. However, I still wouldn't mind, considering that all the cooler characters would have more sway in the story lines. I would expect several continuities to merge, like Wolverine leading a team (ahem, Regenesis anyone?) and Hulk surviving, and guys like Thor going back to their heavenly realms, leaving mortal brutes and savages to both save and destroy the world. And am I mistaked, or is Quentin Quire the future Phoeniz avatar based on his shirt in Wolverine and the X-Men 4 in the flash forward? Hope dies? I'm okay with the immortal unkillables leaving Marvel by means of the Thors going home and Onslaughts dying, so no one dude just whips a Serpent God of Fear out of his pants and just kills anyone. I'm good with Wolverine, Hulk, Iron Man, and other 'cool' guys to make fans happy. But I don't want to boat rocked too much. I'm guessing Cyttorak might get the boot, with Colossus's previous form restored and his future unsure. I think it will be interesting. Somewhat on the point, does anyone like Venom? Anyone see how cool the new Scarlet Spider is? I'm expecting (and hoping) for a lot of cool new ungodly guys like this to help the favorite powerhouses/tactical/whatever role they have to play guys, for more colorful, fulfilling stories. All predictions, which I've put a lot of thought into...... In the end, people seemed to like the post apocalyptic storylines, and having only fan faves seems like a great idea and just having weaker side guys, and third, if at all (hopefully) relevant, post apocalyptic storylines are easy places to put zombies. Zombies are in, and always fun......Just speculating.......
