Second Coming
The third part of the Messiah Trilogy cross-over stories that started in Messiah CompleX & continued in Messiah War. Second Coming heralds the long-awaited return of Hope Summers & Cable to the present day.
X-MEN SECOND COMING CANDIDATES FOR DEATH
You need to put a few things in prospective if you're talking about a DREAM TEAM of X-Men. Does that mean CURRENT? Does that mean EVER? Let's just go with the current array of X-Men.
The three mutants I have added in this comment are who I would guess to be the candidates for death. Let's start with CABLE. He's been time-warping for YEARS protecting HOPE. And if any of you have read Cable's newest series, you know that he's not doing too good physically. He's taken some serious lumps for the prophecized "mutant savior". Will it all be worth it? Or will his final act as a hero and X-Man be saving mutantkind?
Second, Kurt "Vahgnah". We all love NIGHTCRAWLER. Wolverine even has a soft spot for the guy. Halle Berry does as well. After the newest issue of X-MEN LEGACY, he's returning home with Rouge, Psylocke, Blindfold, and Mags after a run-in with PROTEUS(a Trekkie, not really). Now I read an interview with MATT FRACTION a few days ago and I have been mulling it over. Fraction said that this death is of a character we all know well, and all love. Which brings me to the assumption that he definitely could be killing off Nightcrawler.
Then again, maybe Hank McCoy could be even more loved that Nightcrawler. BEAST is at the top of my list to axe. He's been through a lot in the past three years. So much that he decided to up and roll out of "Utopia". I really wish S.W.O.R.D. would've gotten another 12 or 15 issues. A new writer and artist might've made it more appealing because I loved AGENT BRAND and Beast's loving banter with one another. And LOCKHEED!! Anyway, so, he leaves the X-Men, and S.W.O.R.D. gets cancelled in the real world. Hmmmm? Again I revert back to that Fraction interview.
Moving on with that in mind, here's who I would put together(excluding the aformentioned) as my CURRENT X-MEN DREAM TEAMS.
UNCANNY X-MEN W - M. Fraction A - The Dodsons
Cyclops
Emma Frost
Namor
Wolverine
Rouge
Gambit
Iceman
Storm
Angel
Colossus
Kitty Pryde
Uncanny X-Men is the driving force of their universe. Therefore, it needs the core members remaining, plus NAMOR rocking it out for mutantkind. Whereas Legacy would be more driven by Prof and Mags teaching the seasoned, yet still new X-Men.
X-MEN LEGACY W - not Joe Casey A - Phillip Tan or Clayton Henry(I loved "Rise And Fall of the Shi'Ar Empire")
Professor X
Magneto
Armor
Blindfold
Rockslide
Bling!
Trance
Northstar
No-Girl
Danger
Anole
Husk
That's what I got. What would you people do?
Most of the X-men gold team aren't even X-men anymore. lol Banshee, Bishop, Jean Grey are all gone. I would like to see an updated Blue team after all this second Coming crap is over though, cause Astonishing isn't cutting it as a first response team. bring it back to a more stable frontline of Colossus, Gambit, Psylocke, and Kitty. Then add a few people who are frontliners anyway like Namor, Iceman, and Magneto. They would be a kick azz squad.
@Pulsar:
i would like a complete change after second coming,
Uncanny as basically becoming the blue team from the 90's with a few changes Cyclops as leader, and others being Angel, Stepford Cuckoos, Rogue, Gambit, Beast and Iceman
Astonishing becoming the Gold team, Emma as leader, Storm, Namor, Collosus, Wolverine
X-Force Wolverine as Leader, Psylocke, Domino, Warpath, Elixer, X23, and maybe Angel
New Mutants would become more about the training of the younger X-Men with the current New Mutants (Dani's new mutants) teaching the New X-Men
" @geraldthesloth said:Did that issue come out today O_o" @rbysjti said:Isn't dead >.> "" Shadowcat "Is already dead.. "
" @geraldthesloth: No, but she isn't dead, they announced it lol "well technically she was never dead..just flying around on a space bullet..but you know
Well, we all know Beast isn't gonna die because of the new image of Astonishing X-Men from after Second Coming. And it's suppose to be a classic character and a new one. I wonder is this the arc were the all the depowered mutants get their abilities back. Or at least some of them.
" Killing Emma would be epic!!!!! Having Hope kill her would be an incredible WTF moment in the story arc. "she should telekinetically burst emma's breast implants causing silicone poisoning
i have no idea who will die... cept... maybe Hope... Cable... or dam almost anyone...
except Logan Scott... and ah... Kitty... i kinda think kitty wont because she jus came back... or will come back... so why would they bring her back jus to die...
Logan... i mean hes too busy in Heroic Age to die
Scott jus because i think he will leave the X-men... and get a solo series...
Emma could die... but im not sure...
Elixir can die... but then again... he might jus only lose his powers...
i dunno man
" @iLLituracy said:I'm pretty sure a lot of people could kill her. A normal human with a pistol and really good aim could kill her." Storm. "She won't die cos nobody can kill her. I think. Maybe Pixie should die. "
Carey already said Rogue isn't going to die, He said she was very close to the baby. The only hint they've given us is it's a close friend of Wolverines and they've shown nightcrawler on some concept art after second coming. I think it'll be cable and a new mutant.
" close freind of Wolverine?? Jubilee "Why? She's pretty much irrelevant and has been so for the last ten years.
We're getting closer and closer to finding out who it will be. I really think it's dope that some of you have responded.
I'm still leaning towards CABLE. Not really with NIGHTCRAWLER or BEAST so much as I was when I posted this topic a few weeks ago.
However, now my darkhorse is ROGUE.
Call me crazy, but it's a possibility.
I've also seen that a few people beieve it to be EMMA FROST. I just don't see that to be a likely scenario. FRACTION has said it's a "lovable" character.
