Dark X-Men
The creators: Steve Foxe (X-Men ‘92) & Jonas Scharf (Avengers of the Wastelands)
The pitch: Longtime X-Men baddie Madelyne Pryor has decided that the world needs the X-Men, and since the main team’s apparently reeling from a defeat during Fall, she’s opted to start her own. In addition to filling her group with on/off boyfriend Havok, Gambit, and Archangel, they’re joined by Emplate, Zero, Albert (a robot double of Wolverine), and Nightcrawler’s father Azazel.
Also joining that team is Carmen Cruz, aka Gimmick. The character first showed up in the short lived X-book Children of the Atom, where she turned out to be the only true blue mutant of that particular group. She was later invited to Krakoa, which makes her turn here quite the onboarding process to the mutant lifestyle.
Dark X-Men will begin on August 16.
