Marvel transforms Mystique into a hero and the X-Men become its villains

Hero, Marvel, Mystique, transforms, villains, XMen


All variables are welcome in the X-Men's island paradise – unless they see the future. Professor X, Magneto, and Moira MacTaggert have a confidentiality agreement to keep any mysterious changes from burning in the program.

This is a slight move, to be sure, but it wouldn't be such a big problem if it weren't for Mystique, a fierce reformer who loves his real-life oracular mutant Destiny, who died of Legal Virus back in 1989. In X-Men # 6, Xavier and Magneto continue to promise to climb to the top of the Resurrection if they offer Mystique's help in fighting the mutant mosa enemies, and Mystique finally realizes they are playing with her.

X-Men # 6 gives us no other idea why Krakoa has an anti-precog ment. Is it because the pre-cogs will violate Moira X's plan? Is it because he, Xavier, and Magneto know their plan is so scary any guard can try to stop it? Is it just because Moira is so mad at Destiny for killing her in her third life?

We just know that Mystique wants his wife back, and he'll burn all Krakoa to find it.

What else happens to our favorite comics pages? We'll tell you. Welcome to the daily Polgongon list of books our editor enjoyed this past week. It's part of a larger life community, part reading recommendations, part "look at this cool art." There may be spoilers. There may not be enough context. If you missed last week, read this. Let's get started!


X-Men # 6

It took nearly 40 years for Mystique and Destiny's relationship to be allowed in the Marvel canon, even though it was the original intention of their creators. Chris Claremont wanted to portray the two as a colored couple but was blocked by Marvel's policy and Comics Code. Claremont even wanted to present this Mystique and Destiny was the Nightcrawler's parents, who became pregnant when Mystique was in a male state.

So what I'm saying is, it's all about Mystique. Burn it, baby.

This new Pictures series from Johnnie Christmas with Jack T. Cole is great Akira Power, even though Christmas points to Star Wars, Blade Runner, The Fifth Factor, again The decline is bad as incentives. The first issue kicks off in a promising way and, boy, the art is great.

Harley Quinn and Birds of Victims # 1

Harley Quinn and Birds of Victims he is a DC Black Label employee on the creative team after the 2013 series that made him one of the best-selling DC characters. And, because Black Label, they did all the sexy, twisted, violent things they couldn't do in their main series. It's fun, and this is a joke to read if you've seen it Birds of prey and demand more.

Batman: Pennyworth R.I.P.

You might think that Damian orders ginger ale because it's underage, but he's actually learned from learning from his father, who drinks ginger ale in champagne tournaments to maintain his toy cover without getting drunk because he can't afford his wits, not once, no sir, you are Batman.

Harley Quinn & Poison Ivy # 6

There are some good times in this issue, but I wasn't expecting it Harley Quinn & Poison Ivy finish off the downer? Mods? Can we get Mystique here to sort things out? Or at least the next series?

Superman: Heroes

For all people to know who Superman's secret is (since he is from the future, where general information is available), Booster Gold is the last one I wish I could have kept.
