W2 #48- Maverick's 1st appearance? & OTHER TEAM X QUESTIONS
Posted: Thu Jun 30, 2011 10:06 am
In W2 #48, Wolvie flashes back to a Team X spy mission (later revealed as a staged memory implant), where he, Sabretooth and Mastodon bust up a terrorist group consisting of Silver Fox, "Carlisle," "Andre" and "Morse."
Carlisle is later revealed to be John Wraith, and Andre is Professor Thorton/Hudson. But who's Morse?
According to the Team X roster found in Wolverine #50, the group's members are Wolverine, Sabretooth, Fox, Kestrel, Vole, Mastodon and Wildcat. Wolvie, Sabretooth and Mastodon are obvious, Fox is Silver Fox, Kestrel is John Wraith, Vole is Psi-Borg (who's behind the scenes messing with everyone telepathically) -- and Wildcat is Maverick.
Out of that list, the only one not definitively participating in the staged scenario is Wildcat/Maverick. And the only person who doesn't definitively correspond to anyone is Morse.
Does Morse = Maverick? Is this the first appearance of Maverick, published two months before his debut in X-Men #5?
(Note that this issue is also the sneaky first appearance of John Wraith, as "Carlisle".)
