Of course this is Marvel. At least we got Storm and I’m ok with that. Bloodstorm was from another universe so I see why Marvel killed her. They better leave Storm alone.

Here are the mutants, and their superpowers, that make up the team.

How delightful of Marvel for introducing a new article about the upcoming new Uncanny X-men where we see Storm’s head slashed because this is Marvel.

Jean gets to be the center of everything alongside with Kitty, Havok, Rogue and Storm who are possibly the leaders for this upcoming event. I can be wrong. Maybe the slash indicate something more sinister? Maybe they’re the one who might die? Here’s how Marvel describes the story: “X-MEN DISASSEMBLED brings together nearly every mutant left on earth in a story that threatens to destroy them – an epic tale of mystery and tragic disappearance, with an adventure so earth-shattering, it could very well be the X-Men’s FINAL mission!”

So Marvel’s interpretation of an event is to bring all those that are active in one book and start dismantling them? Are they going to go against each other? Is Marvel killing them? This scares me a little since Storm’s head has been cut off for some reason. Maybe they make you second-guess that Storm is not the big thing in this event and that her experience is going to drive us where she was mindhacked dozen of times by the Shadow King? Storm has history upon history with the Shadow King possessing her mind and using her to go against her fellow mutants. The way Marvel treated Storm recently makes me wonder how she’s gonna be treated for the new event. If I had to guess, I’d say Marvel is teasing us. You cannot always look on the bright side. If you look on the bright side of things, you’re optimistic. It can be tough to be optimistic when everyone else is complaining about Marvel. You can’t have a positive outlook all the time, even with the help of that “she’s the only AA (black) so she’s safe for now”. Just because Storm is black and she’s in the “front center”, doesn’t mean she’s going to be save while thinking those that are farther back are a bad sign and are going to get killed somehow. Being overly optimistic can make you lose touch with what is realistic. Marvel can mock us in believing the front characters are safe but it can end up the other way around. What if they’re fooling with us? What if some of those on the back are the significant ones for the upcoming event? The trick can be right in front of our face.

Let me put it this way: Today the Extermination #1 came out. We get to see the original five together with Bloodstorm from the AU. YAY?

It was so good to see Bloodstorm in this event. It was revealed that Cyclops and Bloodstorm were having a date at a restaurant and everything seemed to be going just fine until

UGH. The problem with this was, of course, unforeseen. I did not expect Marvel to have Bloodstorm killed straightaway. It’s a shame and proof that Marvel undermined Storm many times. Fans wouldn’t dare say it, but you need to admit she’s not what many people intended her to be. I see no “high pedestal” nor do I see Storm being treated “better” than any other characters. I mean, LOOK AT HER laying dead in cold blood. They care so little about Storm.

Yes, she’s fucking dead…can you believe that? No? Let me make this page more clear for you.

Look at her: she’s disintegrating from the inside out. Just like when a vampire gets killed they start fading away or turning into ash.

Marvel brought Bloodstorm just to have her excluded from this book as a whole. Sadly we won’t see Bloodstorm from this moment on. I will not be surprised in the least if Marvel doesn’t offer an explanation for her death but I think I get the reasoning behind this. What a complete waste of a character. This is so evident that Marvel is treating Storm like she doesn’t matter anymore. If they killed the original Cyclops, Jean Grey (but brought her back after many years), Banshee and now old Cable what doesn’t make you guys think they won’t kill the original Storm in the upcoming book of Disassembled? Marvel is trying to screw Storm over and making her seem less valuable because even those that are placed in the front center can also be mistreated and even get the short end of the stick just like you’ve seen here. Although it seems to me those on the back are more safe than those on the front. Let’s hope it’s not what I’m thinking. Because we have Storm’s head slashed and Bloodstorm dead. I don’t think that’s a good sign.

My God. This is so bad, bad, bad, I, I, I, can’t, can’t, can’t.

The ruin of Ororo Munroe

Allow me to bring you a handful of mistreatment of our African character, Ororo Munroe. Not much to discuss, since nothing is that important to discuss. Especially when it comes to Storm. Hopefully I go small on this one but if I went further it’s because revelation of her treatment didn’t let me shorten the bull.

Marvel lately is giving Storm an incredibly poorly depicted role whereas Jean seems to be the bad-ass of this new era. Jean now is the Marvel Girl of Marvel ever since her return. She now leads the X-men in every book she’s in, while Storm sits back taking orders. This is not my base assumption, this is reality, people. Jean is the star of Marvel and Scarlet Witch comes second. I must admit that giving Scarlet Witch a tv show of her own was unexpected. So yeah, those women seem to be Marvel priority. Although, Polaris can easily fit in this category given that Marvel owns and participated in part of The Gifted show. Let alone being useful in comics. I wouldn’t be surprised if Jean gets a show of her own as the 05.

That’s not the reason why I’m here wasting my time on this page. The implication here is obvious. They care so little about Storm right now. In the event of “Hunt for Wolverine”, Storm was included with barely a role. The main story isn’t all that fascinating regardless, as the reason for Storm being treated like trash. All the ladies searching for Logan have a specific reason for wanting to find him, as this issue clearly demonstrates. Each x-woman has a flashback that details her special relationship with him. Psylocke’s turn as the point-of-view character, flashing back to dishwater-shallow memories of Logan while Storm gets one panel of her flashback. All the others get a meaningful of 2 to 3 panels.

Storm was captured and excluded through the whole event. Her use on Mystery In Madripoor then proceeded to mostly treat her as a supporting character for the stories of other female characters around her. Did I mention she was easily defeated by a Z list character called, Mindblast? Here I thought she has strong telepathic resistance.

Yup! Storm was defeated and she was captured since issue #1 till the end of the issue #4. Reason being Storm doesn’t have strong telepathic resistance.

Storm was shown being thrown like trash by a z list character, guys. A Z LIST CHARACTER was humiliating and trashing Storm. There she was kept as a prisoner and useless through the whole story. What could have been great story arcs for Storm ended up being lesser, extremely limited plot points for a story arc dedicated mainly to Psylocke, Kitty, and Wolverine.

And then of course, there’s this fucking panel.

Do we need to know Storm is claustrophobic? A mental illness that was told to us zillions, if not, gazillions of times. Not only did Marvel keeps mocking us but they brought it up, yet, again

I understand the reason Storm is so claustrophobic is that she was trapped under the rubble of a demolished house with decaying corpse of her parents for about 3 days. What can I say, this is Claremont for God’s sake. Did I even mention how often they used this shit over and over?

In the story of Typhoid Fever: X-men, Storm was treated horribly aside from her claustrophobia. Marvel had Storm crying for over a man, Bishop, who was seducing Jean.

Storm ran crying like a baby once she found out Bishop cheated on her. Little did she know Typhoid Mary attempts to manipulate Storm as well as the others in her own twisted soap opera. Nothing was real. While Jean tried to explain the illusions they were surrounded in (as she was the only one who noticed the obvious), Storm kept whining about “you stole my man” blah blah blah. Sorry. She sounded and acted so ridiculous. What an embarrassment. Because of Storm whining, Jean lost concentration to defeat Typhoid Mary.

The drama doesn’t end here.

When Jean lost concentration, she went all out at Storm and started attacking her. So, pretty much they were fighting over Bishop. Storm even went on attacking Bishop where we can see her lightning didn’t do anything to him. She attacked him for “cheating” on her. Storm succumbing to this trash is actually embarrassing; more embarrassing than any other character.

How hilarious that even Spider-man was shown choking Storm. What a humiliation. We can’t even deny how trashy Storm was here.

Humiliating Storm doesn’t stop here. In the new Fantastic Four, Storm was shown to be one of the members to be brought to another universe by Reed in order to stop some crazy planetary bitch. At first I thought Storm was going to be useful and got happy to know she was part of the mission.

What I didn’t understand was how Wolverine came along to this mission. Isn’t he somewhere captured or hiding or even dead? I don’t follow up on Wolverine so I don’t know what’s going on. But what I do know is that Storm appeared to be gazing at Wolverine while her ex-husband is right behind her gazing at her. Awkward! Strange how Storm or Wolverine didn’t say a word to each other. Same with Black Panther. It felt so out of character. Nevertheless, it makes sense to take a few precautions since she would only become a wallpaper next to Wolverine and Black Panther. Just a little reminder that those are not the only men in her life. She has had many lovers and most were only to support those men in those stories (I will further this on another blog). Black Panther is one of those huge examples where she was treated as a wallpaper.

Speaking of wallpaper, Storm in this event ended up just that, a wallpaper. In FF #3, she was behind the whole time with only 2 or 3 lines.

In this panel you can barely see her. She’s right behind Reed taking orders. That’s all she’s been doing lately, taking orders from Reed, Kitty, Jean, etc. How unimportant Storm has become since Extraordinary and IVX. She was brought only to be planted on the background. A wallpaper planted by Marvel to you/us.

She only appeared in 4 panels total as a wallpaper. Not even as a supporting character UGH.

So out of those 4 panels, this is all she gets to say? Obviously, Storm in FF is irrelevant.

Here, also, it is important to distinguish what is relevant from what is irrelevant in the line of criticism represented by these writers. I rather act like this never happen and the less they are in our minds the better. I should’ve known better when it comes to Marvel/Storm. She deserves better than just being a wallpaper. I’m so sick of this. It is so disheartening to see such a character constantly go to waste and that’s nothing compared to what comes next.

Sonequa doesn’t look bad as Storm. Good pick

X-MEN Universe Fancast

-This version would be a little younger than the Avengers in the MCU. I am iffy on one or two of these picks but really into the rest.

▪️Professor X - Daniel Craig

▪️Cyclops - Blake Jenner

▪️Storm - Sonequa Martin Green

▪️Wolverine - Tyler Hoechlin

▪️Jean Grey - Taissa Farmiga

▪️Nightcrawler- Bill Skarsgard

▪️Rogue - Liz Gillies

▪️Colossus - Alexander Ludwig

▪️Emma Frost - Vanessa Kirby

▪️Magneto - John Slattery

Obviously this is Marvel downgrading her. Even though Storm’s lightning wasn’t enough and they needed Cyclops and Havok to bust in. It worked with the Summers brothers blast and I think that’s why Storm wasn’t included here.

Marvel

The Cover-

This cover by Rodney Ramos and Bob McLeod is an obvious reference to Giant Size X-Men #1, of which there have been many takes and variations. This version reversing the roles and putting the classic team in the foreground. You can see Uatu the Watcher making his appearance in the corner box, a staple for this 90’s run of What If…

The Credits-

Marvel Comics @marvelentertainment What If… Volume 2, #23 “What if… the All-New All-Different X-Men Had Never Existed?” March 1991 Cover Price: $1.25 USD $1.75 CAN Today’s Worth: $3 to $5 Written by Kurt Busiek Pencils by Rodney Ramos Inks by Doug Hazlewood Colours by Tom Vincent Letters by Janice Chiang Edited by Craig Anderson

The Story-

This book starts where the original X-Men team landed on Krakoa, with much of the same outcome as they meet their match-

Of course in this book Uatu is here to show us a different outcome.

This time it is all up to the X-Men to fight this battle on their own. Luckily they have some untapped power in Lorna Dane, Polaris. Professor X has Jean crack open Lorna’s magnetic powers.

Polaris goes all super-power crazy and lifts the entire island of Krakoa into outer space. (Despite the fact this is a What If? it’s still canon)

Without the X-Men being captured their was no reason to recruit new members. And, the X-Team returned home to business as usual. For the mutant group it can never be so simple and they face some new enemies-

In the original story line Eric the Red was able to defeat a new team of untrained X-Men. Unfortunately for him, this is the classic X-Men practiced in kicking butt and they easily defeat Eric and team.

Except the young angry Nightcrawler who escapes with his natural abilities.

As Nightcrawler ditches, the team unmasks this new Eric the Red. Proffesor X decides the only place to keep this man is Muir Island.

As they try to probe Eric the Red for his origins there is another attack-

A battle with sentinels classically strands the X-Men in space. A moment in X-History that saw the death of Jean and the rise of the Phoenix. However, this team has a different member in space with them. Thanks to Lorna, Jean don’t have to die and that’s what Lorna is trying to tell those 2 knocked head who can’t shut up lol-

Polaris got this and don’t know why these 2 couldn’t even thought about it. Well done, Polaris!

Things settle out for a bit. Until of course Lilandra shows up in her classic hunt for her enemy brother.

Obviously the X-Men agree to help Lilandra and classically transfer to the Shi’ar empire-

They join forces with the Starjammers and that whole story basically takes place with a different cast. In fact this original team holds together and handles most of the classic story lines-

Basically, this What If… is telling us that if the X-Men hadn’t expanded their numbers than the original team would’ve still kicked butt. Until the Shi’ar call again looking for a Chaos Bringer to prevent the coming of Pheonix. This time a different member takes the sacrifice-

But, in the last minute Cyclops is over taken by a shadowed figure who takes his spot-

Who is this unknown hero, ready to sacrifice himself for the X-Men and the Universe?

Nightcrawler had been stalking the X-Men through all of there adventures. He learned that they are heroes fighting for mutant freedom. Instead of seeking his revenge, he wants to make things right. And it is Nightcrawler who becomes the Chaos Bringer saving the universe.
