After M-Day there were ~198 Muties left. Can we make a list of all those who are still surviving (or at least presumed as such)?
I could probably make this list myself, but thought it'd be more fun to do it with Sup Forums.
I'm just gonna name some off some characters:
Rachel Grey - Marvel Girl Scott Summers - Cyclops (maybe?) Alex Summers - Havok Armando Munoz - Darwin Erik Lensherr - Magneto Emma Frost James Bradley - Dr. Nemesis Piotr Rasputin - Colossus Illyana Rasputin - Magik Ororo Munroe - Storm Laura Kinney - X-23 Noriko Ashida - Surge Hisako Ichiki - Armor Hank McCoy - Beast Julian Keller - Hellion Xorn Exodus Nathaniel Essex - Mr. Sinister Elizabeth Braddock - Psylocke Monet St. Croix - M Layla Miller (I guess?) Bishop Nathan Summers - Cable Ryan Reynolds - Deadpool Warren Worthington III - currently Archangel after a series of strange events Raven Darkholme - Mystque Teresa Cassidy - Banshee, currently some sorta Irish demigod Sean Cassidy - Banshee, locked in Beast's cellar after being revived via Death Seed Daken - drowned then revived via Death Seed Neena Thurman - Domino
Anyways, there's a start famiglias
James Perry
Any Guthries?
James James
I can't remember if Paige got killed off in WatXM, but Sam is still alive.
Nathan Fisher
Elixir, Karma and I think Pixie are still alive.
Dylan Diaz
Elixir got murderkilled recently, actually.
Xavier Sullivan
Eyeboy, Ernst, Anole, No-Girl, Rockslide and Shark Girl
Benjamin Barnes
Just googled Dust, apparently she's not dead either.
Hudson Phillips
Exilixer got killed twice, once in Uncanny X-men and once in Wolverines. He can apparently not stay dead.
Benjamin Sanchez
Paige is still ticking last I recall
Asher Flores
Eyeboy and Sharkgirl are post AVX
Owen Moore
Sage is still around, at least I think she was left in 616 after X-Treme X-Men vol. 2 ended.
Grayson Rodriguez
I was looking for those 198 from after M-Day. Basically anyone that was still a mutant before Hope was born. >once in Uncanny X-men are you referring to the most recent volume where he got his fookin head blown off?
Oh yeah, Dazzler and Sunfire too.
Bentley Roberts
Magik isn't necessarily a mutant - she might be a demon from Limbo impersonating the original.
Layla Miller got branded with the M when she was in that alternate shitbag future, so she was tested and possessed the X-gene.
Deadpool is not a mutant - he is a human mutate, a human who was mutated by exposure (in his case, to mutant x-gene dna)
Certain "mutants" like Warlock, Pixie, Madrox, and others are not in fact mutants, they either just hang out with mutants or are non-human mutants, ie, they don't possess the same "x-gene" that classifies a Mutant. Pixie for example is the hybrid offspring of a demon from Limbo and a witch (Nightcrawler is also a hybrid, but his mother was a mutant and he is a mutant). Since a lot of these were prominent during the Decimation titles, it's worth knowing which ones they are.
"198" doesn't appear to have accounted for certain bodies; it seems to have been whatever Cerebro could detect at that time. For example, there were multiple clones of every Reaver and of Sinister (and apparently of Jean Grey/the Goblin Queen) running around in Sinister's labs at the time which were not detected. There were also a number of individual mutants who were never detected.
And then there was Cloak and Dagger. Now, either the X-Men realized they needed more than one magic bus, or their detection technology is just super shitty, because even up close with Cloak and Dagger willing to give biological samples, it took the brightest minds of the X-Men's science club weeks to work out that Cloak and Dagger aren't mutants.
tl;dr there's no list, there never was, it's not important, it's just a melodramatic thing Cyclops liked to say because he's a self important prick
Ian Morales
cyclops never came up with the 198 term.
Nathan Carter
>198 hence >~198 or roughly 198 Vulcan and Darwin weren't included in that figure as far as I'm aware. It wasn't Cyke that came up with that it was O*N*E, stay mad Beast.
I always forget about the Deadpool distinction.
Connor Murphy
There was a marvel handbook released during DeciMation that listed them all.
Jacob Ramirez
Right, I'm curious about the ones (from that pool) who have survived until now.
Parker Sanchez
Question for the X-fags, was End of Greys a direct response to Endsong, which was already a Shi'ar fuck up?
Was Vulcan right?
Aiden Torres
In the "End of Greys" story the text stated that it was the Shi'ar reacting to the M-Day decimation. ... because either they saw an opportunity to wipe out the Phoenix threat because the mutants and the X-Men were weak or because they feared the Phoenix would react to the decimation, which it did.
Jordan Scott
Pixie's father wasn't a Limbo demon
She's Jason Wyngarde's bastard. Her mother was a faerie from Otherworld
So she's a mutant
Nicholas Long
It's been years since I read it, but I remember Endsong came not too long before it.
I'm trying to decide if I should reread the build up to War of Kings or reread brubaker's cap.
I know end of Greys was Claremont, but Rachel goes to space partly because of End of Greys.
Carter Collins
was that from her mini from like four, five years ago?
oh christ man who even knows
Christian Russell
>oh christ man who even knows And thus the original point of the thread.
Jeremiah Sanders
The canon chronology of that X-Men era was all sorts of messed up, you can't take queues about motivations from anything of that time that doesn't directly reference something in it's own text. Go read non-Hydra Cap, find your bliss there. The other path only leads to dark and confusing places.
Henry Torres
I mean, I've read just about every x-book since NXM, so yeah, I know how muddy stuff was with all the skips and everything.
Think I will reread cap though, but probably I'll do Messiah CompleX first since I reread Second Coming last month. Man, Second Coming is just incredible. So goddamn satisfying.
Dylan Flores
Hope did bring us some great X-crossovers.
Joseph Adams
>Hope Will she be back, bros?
Can she save us from the Jean menace?
Jayden Russell
>Ryan Reynolds - Deadpool Heh.
James Perry
>"Save us" -???
She has "secret reincarnation" written all over her. I don't think she'll be the big Jeanie killer that you're Hoping for.
Jack Martinez
Yeah. So she's one of the Mastermind sisters and her pixie dust is how her heriditary illusion powers manifested
It's been mostly ignored since that mini. But it's still technically canon
