… this looks like the most visually boring team I can recall.
Getting a serious 90s flashback here, this should go straight to the quarterbins.
Is this meant to be the most confusing X-Men team? I know Gambit, but why is he holding a rifle? As for the rest, to the Wiki! is the only way I know anything about them.
The designs on this team keep getting better & better. And by “better & better”, I mean “more bizarrely grimdark & hilarious”. Shame to see a cool old-school villain like Frenzy return alongside Metal Gear Gambit and the Bondage Squad.
Wow. Just when I thought I could have no less interest in the “X” titles something comes along and proves me wrong. And what the hell is it with all the male heroes suddenly showing up with costumes that make them look like really bad Abercrombie and Fitch models like the metros on the bags my daughters bring home from that God-awful place? No shirts, cargo pants or jeans…folks, as a person that has actually been in tactical situations I can tell you that neither cargo pants, jeans or black spandex with a lot of buckles is a good option to be wearing when the poop hits the fan.
And that guy’s mask looks like the one Undertaker had to wear way back when he broke a facial bone. It hasn’t improved since then.
