X-characters after "Utopia" & "Exodus" - where?

Post by JephYork »

I've got a long list of supporting characters that appeared in "Utopia" and "Exodus", and I'm trying to figure out their next appearances. Now, the post-Utopia chronologies are still WAY in flux -- so in this thread, I'm not asking you to tell me where their VERY next appearance is. Instead, I'd like a list of ALL the places they've appeared since -- so, once I make a more educated guess about the order they all occur in, I can skim through and THEN divine each character's VERY next app.

So -- please tell me ANYWHERE and EVERYWHERE we've seen the following characters after the "Utopia" crossover ... thanks!

- Any recognizable figures in the background ? (X? @1)
Cuckoos, Onyxx, Anole, Surge, Colossus, Pixie, Mercury

- Same question. (X? @1)
Dust at left?

- Who's that girl to the left of Anole ? And is that Prodigy to Rogue's left ? (X 228)
Loa, and probably

- Who are those girls next to Anole ? Anyone recognizable in the background ? (UX 230)
Armor (or maybe Karma)?, Loa, and Dust; Rockslide, Match, Subspot?, Cannonball, Indra?

Re: X-characters after "Utopia" & "Exodus" - where?

Post by JD »

Jeph's list is a bit arbitrary : it doesn't list any of the "core" X-Men team (Cyclops, Emma Frost, Wolverine, Nightcrawler, Colossus, Iceman, Beast, Psylocke, Northstar, Archangel), the "Legacy" group (Rogue, Gambit, Danger) or most of the X-Force team (Domino, Warpath, Vanisher, Wolfsbane), but it somehow includes Dazzler (who's a core X-Men member these days) and X-23 (a core X-Force member).

Hepzibah's absence from Jeph's list is a bit puzzling, though. (For reference, I haven't seen here anywhere else than LIST:X so far.)

(I assume the casts of X-Factor and Cable are absent as they're pretty much disconnected from everything else, and didn't participate into Utopia.)

My list isn't "arbitrary" -- it's the list of characters that I need help with for the "Exodus" index entry. Anyone I didn't mention, I already have covered. ;-)

Thanks for all this info! Keep it coming!

By the way, why is "X?" your abbreviation for "X-Men: Legacy"?

X-Men/Agents of Atlas #1:

(several unidentifiably silouetted-in-purple people)
??? (Someone brown-haired in a NM costume)
??? (Someone in the bg who appears to be wearing a cowled NM costume. It's not Sunspot, he's in the foreground)
Angel
Anole
Beast
Cannonball
Cloak
Colossus
Cyclops
Dagger
Dr Nemesis
Frost
Hellion? (background white guy with black hair in NXM costume driving bulldozer)
Iceman
Karma
Madison Jeffries
Magma and Magik? (background blonde female in NM costume and foreground blonde female in short-sleeved NM costume, neither of whom has arm armour; but they're the only two blonde NM females)
Namor
Nightcrawler
Pixie
Prodigy? (background black guy on (4&5:1) wearing black & yellow)
Psylocke
Rockslide
Stepford Cuckoos
Storm
Sunspot
Surge
Wolverine

X-Men/Agents of Atlas #2

Angel
Beast
Cloak
Colossus
Cyclops
Dagger
Frost
Iceman
Namor
Nightcrawler
Pixie
Professor Xavier
Psylocke
Rockslide
Stepford Cuckoos
Storm
Sunspot
Surge
Wolverine


Oh, and an interesting little-cock-up: Angel's drawn in Mimic's current costume at the end of the hallucination/fight, once everyone else looks how they do in reality. Obviously, Samnee got a bad reference, but still.

Because he doesn't know how to code the Annual, he said.

I suppose it'll be either X@3 1 or XL@ 1.
Looks like X-23 is the black-haired female in the foreground, wearing her NXM costume top. Is that possibly Greymalkin between her and Erg?

Magma's current NM uniform is sleeveless, for some reason (more distinctive design ?). And Magik doesn't wear arm armour these days.

(I've updated my draft with NM3 appearances. Next : Nation X #1 !)
Somebody wrote:Hellion? (background white guy with black hair in NXM costume driving bulldozer)
Isn't that Colossus ? He's doing the same kind of thing in Nation X #1/4.
Somebody wrote:Prodigy? (background black guy on (4&5:1) wearing black & yellow)
Wrong costume, and doesn't look that black to me. Considering this is a NM costume, I'd say Dani Moonstar.

While we're on the subject of art goofs, Daniel Acuña drew Cannonball in his Bachalo costume instead of his current NM one in X 228.

... And I'm now done for the X-books (regular titles and in-continuity miniseries). Anyone has any clue for guest appearances in other MU titles ? I presume Namor is all over the place...

Neither of you noticed Namor in the top-left? And did you mean Armor is the one between Nemesis & Rockslide, or beside Pixie? The latter could conceivably be X-23 in NX costuming, given some slightly weird lighting (I can't think of any purple-haired human-type students, anyway).
Looking at it again, two of those figures on the left look a lot like Cannonball & Wolfsbane. Obviously, it can't be Rahne, but might the blonde to the left of her be Magma if they're intended to be New Mutants?
Loa, Armor and Dust, I would say.

I have Match, Greymalkin?, Cannonball, Hellion?, Rockslide and Indra in the background.

I can't see any red on the costume though, nor any detail that really resembles a big black V.

I have Moonstar elsewhere on that spread (immediately to the left of Rockslide).

And one I missed in X/ATLAS 2 - who's the doctor with Xavier? I don't think it's Dr. Nemesis, since he's wearing a labcoat, not a white suit.

Who's that woman next to Iceman ?


Judging from Scott's dialog in the next panel, I think that's supposed to be Dazzler.

Glob Herman seems closest (although I don't think he's been shown in a containment suit before). Why he'd be at a core meeting is a good question.

It's supposed to be Dr. Nemesis. The artist missed the "Dr." part, did research on what "Nemesis" looked like, and came up with Holocaust from the Age of Apocalypse.

The one between Dr. Nemesis and Rockslide is Karma. Headband + "X" on shoulders was the costume Karma was wearing circa UXM #502 ... I don't know if she changed it in the NM3 series, but that's definitely intended to be her.

The posture on the one near Pixie doesn't say X-23 to me ... and the hair seems too short. I'd go with Armor, who was Pixie's roommate back in Greymalkin.

Okay, that's really weird, since Dr. Nemesis appears correctly later in that same story.

With red hair ? Calling Iceman "Frosty" ? Also considering that she appears in her proper costume in XFOR3 21, by the same artist ?

Random idea : maybe this is Bliss, that Morlock who got Jean Grey's appearance way back in UX 260-ish ? NATION X #1/3 establishes that she's still around.

Hey, given that whole Dr. Nemesis thing, I wouldn't assume artists/colorers getting the details right. :wink: Seriously, though, this practice of less-than-definitive artistic renderings combined with appearances by tons of characters, numerous costume changes, and minimal editorial explanations of who's who is becoming a pet peeve of mine.
