We Are The X-Men

Huh? Isn't Blade just half vampire?

Isn't Namor just half Atlantian?

I gotta say that if this is an actual team, it's pretty interesting.

Blade is not a mutant. He doesn't have the X-factor gene present. Namor does. That is why he as well as his cousin and one other Atlantean are considered mutants.

First off I don't enjoy that they are spoiling Second Coming with these teaser images. I do however like where this may be headed. It does bring up new questions.

Will Second Coming have the end result of the X-factor gene occuring again?

Just this question can lead into so much more. This is where knowing your Marvel history comes into play. They have said in the past that the 'mutates' such as Spiderman and the Fantastic Four exhibited potential in their DNA that allowed there mutations to happen. Then there is the whole Earth X thing that revealed the celestials may have done this to Earth and Humans on purpose, which is why the X-factor gene was becoming more prevelant. Is this why the Celestial involvement in the much on hiatus Astonishing X-men book occured and why Magneto and High Evolutionary lobotomized a Celestial?

Are they just again changing what the requirements are to be a mutant?

This is the one that pops up right away. If spiderman wasn't pictured then looking at Lyra and Blade you could go..."oh just people born with powers." But Spidey screws that theory. So are we just going to call anybody with mutated DNA a mutant now so that the mutants don't feel so much like an endagered species? Or is the X-factor gene going to appear in these people's DNA as a result of some sort of "anti-M DAy?"

So each question just leads to more questions. So other than the spoilers, I would say this is successful marketing to get X-fans pumped for sure.

to get us pumped up for sure... or bitterly be disappointed when it doesnt fan out to be anything but a money grabbing scheme.... then again though ill buy it

Thanks, HrdWrkngSoldier, saved me from some typing. Heh.

Is this what Image's/Kirkman's Global Guardians are parodying?

^ Unless Kirkman has a time machine, then no. Have you missed the Avengers teasers?

Oh, that was it.

If this ends up being the main team I'm gonna be kinda pissed. I like most of the characters in the teasers, but I just don't want them as a team. At least not the main team. If they are a side team, then I'll be fine with it.

New ones, lol, this is getting ridiculous:

Is the message really that hard to recognize?

Okay this one throws me for a loop. Elektra doesn't even have powers does she? This may be a spoiler into the end result of Second Coming all on its own. Or X-Men are going to finally become the mixed family they should have always been. Martin Luther King would be proud.. I don't see Magneto being psyched about it though, unless there are some massive X-factor gene activations going to happen.

Sai to the groin!

Glad to see Remy getting some love though.

She's got some ninja mind-control stuff, IIRC.

^ And ninja-poof powers or something. Heh.

This has me intrigued but not interested in the title.

X-Man? Okay. Vampiric Jubilee? Wha?

Seriously... WHAT the HELL is up with these ads? Oh.. wait... EXILES?!

WTF!?

I gotta admit that I'm a bit confused now. When did Jubliee become a vampire?

I'm loving all of this!

I've been laughing about Vamp-ilee all day.

Nate Grey being back is pretty cool though, I've always loved the character.

Okay that new one really is making my think WTF. I wanna know what this is all about.

I hope this is Exiles or non-canon. I don't care for any of this now. Even as an alternate univers/Exiles, I probably won't care for it since I never care for those things to begin with. I'll stop paying attention to this since this is Marvel marketing/being an attention whore at work. There's drumming up business and then there's dicking with people and I feel Marvel is doing more of the latter than the former (like they always do).

if this is non-616 then I agree, screw this...

Hmm ok, not the time to get back into the X-books. This crap is almost insulting.
