@koays:
Again for my pitch, Emma isn't evil....just playing the role of a high ranking mole within the club that is trying to bring it down from the inside. I just think she'd be perfect for that because she'd have to go about pretending to be a person she hasn't been for more then 14 years in comics. I mean she's a conflicted person because the part of her character that wants to see the young mutants of the future excel is constantly battling with the darker tendencies that she had as a member of the club....so lets see Emma rectify the conflict by bringing down the embodiment of that.
Exactly, that's why no one should trust her, and I would mock those incompetent villains that allowed her to join their ranks. You see?
As for the Club itself, i think that the classic line up could work (with the exception of Pierce), but there would need to be enough new people added to the group that they wouldn't seem strange to have come back together. Madelyne and Azazel for instance as Red King and Queen would shift Shaw's attention from Selene and Emma. Plus having other underworld powers and major manipulators like Courtney Ross and Bella Donna adds to the reach of the club.
So you're saying Shaw, Selene and Emma could work together again? 0_o Really?
I think Magik could be a great addition to a team working against the club from the inside, seeing as she'd be valuable to the club but when push came to shove she'd be the only one to take Selene. And Mister Sinister would be interesting as well.....but Magik seems too self serving for the Club and I can't see them using power as a bargaining chip for her
Everyone is self-serving in this Club, that's why they are there, broadly speaking, to satisfy their needs. The point is, it's just they find the union itself beneficial. And Illyana is very unpredictable, we won't even know why she's there.
and Sinister, Selene and Maddie just seems so completely stacked that they'd have to tear themselves apart for anyone to beat them.
You mean they're too overpowered?
@hawk2916:
I could see Azazel in a role. In fact I'd be willing to replace Shaw in my line up with him. As long as he's not a freaking pirate running around with Bamfs.
Of course not, that's why mentioned his metamorphose, congenial to the First Class deadly assassin appearance, yet this time his won't be a simple soldier, he will be a wild card.
Madelyne should be off on her own and Magik should stay where she is imo. I like Black Tom however on further thought I think he works well in a Brotherhood setting with Mystique.
Well Shaw is mindwiped, not that it means much, but he lost everything I think, and he isn't just on the same calibre as the other guys, I thought about a lineup, where each of the most significant members can be a one man army, so we'll be spared of the annoying d!ck measurings. Only machinations of all kinds and colors, as it was always supposed to be.
I'd also consider replacing him with someone like Maruis St. Croix (Emplate).
I thought about him, but this guy is really SELF-centered, maybe I don't know much, yet from what I've seen he doesn't seem to be interested in anything other than his little muties to eat.
White Division- (King) Elias Bogan (Queen) Sapphire Styx, (Rook) Sat-yr-, (Bishop) Lady Mastermind
Black Division- (King) Marius St. Croix, (Queen) Selene, (Rook) Frederick Slade, (Bishop) Moonstone
Red Division- (King) Azazel or Sebastian Shaw- cant decide right now. (Queen) Candra, (Rook) Madame Hydra, (Bishop) Bella Donna
I like the inclusion of non-mutants, I also thought about including Candra, but then I stopped at only the mutants who posses magical skills for most part, that's why I wasn't sure about Sinister. I'm heavily interested in how would Selene, Magik and Madelyne trio look on the same page, to say it could be explosive is like remaining silent lol Then Makhail, who is also Rasputin, which provides him inheritance to be able to use magic. Even without it, the way I understand his powers work from channeling inter-dimensional energies to warp reality, I think this is already good enough and can be "mystically" interpreted. This kind of alliance could be incredibly thrilling, combining (immortal) mutants, dark arts with "behind the scenes shenanigans" (assassinations, political interferences, facilities of experimenting on super-creations, collecting the most powerful artifacts and so on) attitude, that what I had in my mind. And then Sinister with his hyper-technological experience, from cloning to I don't know what (a Cyclops clone publicly murders somebody, go figure he wasn't real), someone like him will make this coalition even more diversified.
