was all part of a Chris Claremont plan to reorganize the mutant universe and maintain a consistent line, so I took all who were directly linked to the dream of Professor X, divided into 2 and each was assigned a comic itself. team gold, led by Storm stayed in Uncanny and blue team Cyclops created a new title called X-Men to dry, with star Jim Lee drawing. And where he began the Comic Boom. As I said long ago, the boom was a global phenomenon noventero wherein the medium comics or was claimed, was given its rightful place as an artistic phenomenon and that in turn is transformed in sales, not just Marvel, but for all publishers.
And the reason why he is the starting point at number one on X-Men (at least in America) is a record-breaking run of 7 million units ... there any mother. We must mention a couple of details both for and against this record: first, a year after both Rob Liefeld and Todd McFarlane claimed to have broken the record with his series Spawn Youngblood and ... and it is true but with a detail: all these records are based on copies ordered by stores not obtained directly by readers and while it is estimated that X-Men had to sell the least 3 million net Spawn Youngblood and sold only 1.2 and 1.7 million respectively, which are very good but do not reach the exit sales. On the other hand, should be mentioned that X-Men # 1 had 4 covers variants and most bought four copies to have them all, so there were 3 million total readers. Finally, although this record is recognized by Guinness and the whole thing, we must be honest and say that there sleeves that sell between 1 and 5 million copies in Japan and net, without going so far recently told them that in its heyday, The Family Burron went on to sell half a million copies a week and Pepin up to one million daily! But then, that to the gringos they better mothers.Anyway, the point is that the number 1 X-Men was a success and the blue team was the most popular because it had all the more charismatic as the Garritan, Beast and Gambit also had as an unofficial member of Jubilee which was basically there to fill the gap of Kitty Pryde ... Is no gamble! What I'm trying to say is that Kitty began the custom of having a member almost childlike in X Men and Excalibur after his departure, it was time for Jubilee (as now happens with Armor and Pixie). With the little detail that everyone loved Kitty for being innocent and dreamy while the sparkler was dividing his views noventera bad attitude, some loved her from the beginning, but others hated deeply. This team was the basis for the animation series noventera X-Men, adding to Storm and Jean Grey, although the latter during the entire first season was used only as a damsel in distress (ironically it was his role also in the first X-Men).
But here we talk about comics animations not in X-Men # 1 began the saga Mutant Genesis, there Magneto returns as villain and creates the Asteroid M, a small town where all the mutants space are welcome but, of course, under the laws of the master of magnetism, which are a threat to the nations on Earth. In this saga there to rescue two events, first, the creation of Acolytes, a group of mutants (and mutated) that would be like the X-Men and Magneto's apparent death of Magnus, who was betrayed by one of the own, Fabian Cortez, with the power to increase the powers of other mutants, but at the expense of exhausting them and making them dependent.
On the other hand, to replace superstar Jim Lee Unncany chose the last of the Hot Artist, Whilce Portacio, who as in the case McFarlane-Larsen, was very good imitation of the original artist. A Portacio we owe above all the creation, with John Byrne and Jim Lee himself, the Bishop in Uncanny X-Men # 282, mutant come from a future where his kind are held in concentration camps (and Hence the brand has on the eye) and only some are used as policemen to hunt other mutants, in a unit called XSE and they really are good and look for ways to overthrow the government of the Sentinels. Bishop has the power to absorb the powers of other mutants into energy that can be cast in the form of lightning, it is theoretically powerful enough , because unlike other mutants that absorb energy as Sebastian Shaw, Bishop has shown at times in addition to direct attacks, it also can feed on potential energy as the energy field of Magneto.
accident came at last to pursue the Fitzroy mutant villain and has no way to return, so stay with Xavier students to help as you can while you're here, is the knowledge that the fall in X-Men will be due to the treachery of one of them, but records were lost and therefore know who is. His prime suspect was Gambit, because their future is the only X that will live on, it was not until 4 years later (in our time not yours) to discover the real traitor. Despite his violent attitude much like cable and the initial suspicion that it had on his colleagues, Bishop was one of the most loyal and X-Men, without reaching peak levels, gained much popularity between l you fans what led him to have a mini-series of 4 numbers in the mid-nineties and at the end of the decade, a regular series called Bishop: The Last X-Man , where he travels to an alternate timeline where , as the name itself should tell them, is the only survivor and must teach defend a new breed of mutants (not last long, but it's something), plus the series-X Distric where its roots back to police and is dedicated to monitoring the Mutant Town, a district inhabited by New York pure exit. Fun fact: originally Bishop was only his nom de guerre, it is assumed that neither he remembered the real, but after the miniseries that explored his past was that Bishop was his name and his name Lucas.
On his return from the alternate timeline remained a trusted subject, which became very surprising his break with the X-Men during the Civil War saga . It turns out that taking into account that after House of M, all mutants were monitored by the government as a rare species, Bishop felt that this was increasingly similar their future and the events of the civil war felt that the only way to avoid the issue grow was to join the pro faction registration. Bishop Cyclops faced and left the mansion to work with the government, but all in all his motives were understandable , not his participation in the events of mutant messiah. Here it is recalled that in the Marvel universe there are several possible future and in fact never disappear, since according to theory they manage time, even if you stop the event that triggers remain latent if re-combine the factors that created them. I mention this because the future of Cable and Bishop was not the same, but after the series mentioned above were consolidated and both took opposing sides in the birth of Hope, the first mutant the day M. According to Cable it is the hope for the future, while Bishop recalled magically she is the beginning of the end for the race. Cable took the girl to fututo and Bishop turned to pursue them with murderous intentions over time (incidentally, the brunette lost an arm replaced by a cybernetic prosthesis) apparently got caught up in the future and chances are that we hear from him.
Bishop had or will have a sister called Shard, which will also be part of the XSE and die on a mission. However, since in the present, Bishop built a duplicate her sister's computer, as often happens in this comic book, acquired human consciousness and even became part of X Factor, they stopped using it in the comics mutants without no explanation and Last Comic X-Man was seen die again, but I am not clear whether it was human Shard that timeline or version computed.
Back to 1991 and had trouble in paradise mutant, because only the 3 issues of X-Men, Claremont got fed up with the impositions of Bob Harass, sent him to whistle his flute and submitted his resignation Marvel. Harass not grieved nor little bit and repeated the play Spiderman McFarlane, leaving Jim Lee comic books for himself, but with writers throwing hand because as I said Korean was excellent cartoonist but did not write anything right. Even John Byrne returned to help him and Portacio, but it was only temporary. As you may know if you read his volume 2 edition Marvel Sagas Gio between the contributions of Jim Lee alone the franchise was Russian villain Omega Red and Maverick, a project linked to the mutant Weapon X also became very popular and had his own miniseries, was also one of the first exit Legacy infected with the virus, about which I will talk soon.
Now you may be wondering (and if not, should), if the founding X-Men returned to their roots, what happened to X Factor? Well, from number 71 in the series came new members and gave a new direction. Now it was a team sponsored by the government, dedicated to addressing threats of any kind and to improve the perception of people about the mutant was led by and included Havok Polaris, Quicksilver, Wolfsbane, Strong Guy and Multiple Man, plus a link with the government, Valerie Cooper, old friend series of mutants. The former already know pretty well, so I will just talk about the past, starting Strong Guy, a subject created in a New Mutants Annual whose power is (also) to absorb the style attacks Sebastian Shaw, but also make it stronger, it is projected physically, because it gets bigger and muscled, in addition to the strong type, its role in Factor X was the chistosito everyone loves to hate. As good mutant was dead a while and recently returned.
Multiple Man is an interesting case because it is perhaps the fastest mutant evolved in the last decade. It was created in a special Fantastic Four, his powers are, obviously, create duplicates of himself as the original can pop at will during his time in X Factor was a member bitter and depressed group, which worsened when the virus infected legacy y. .. died. But you see that weird, revived and that's where he began his shift, because his return was not the same, but a kind confident and intelligent, with its duplicate had traveled around the world. In recent years it became one of the reader's favorite mutants.
And lest anyone think that just talk about the segundones arachnids, today I will mention a younger muti emerged in X-Factor, I mean Random , a mercenary mutant with the unique ability to transform their arms a kind of guns and was also very popular in the mid-nineties, until for some reason were losing interest in him and became second fiddle. The last time I saw him he had joined the mutant Magneto believers in Genosha and I thought I had died there, but recently in the Legacy comic we see between the new Exodus Acolytes and say, although I have not seen, then out between the ball of mutants living in Utopia .
The new X Factor was fairly popular, but never to the levels of the X-Men or X-Force, his most acclaimed was conducted by Peter David and the then unknown artist Joe Quesada, who had very little action but a psychological treatment of the characters which attracted a different kind of readers. There is nothing else worth noting, just say it kept most of the nineties but sales fell and sales to try to lift him back a team of bad guys (oh yes) in its ranks included Mistique, Sabretooth, Wild Child and Destiny, among others, finally, taking the apparent death of Havok, the team disbanded.
few years ago, Peter David raised the concept of X-Factor with very good results , this time taking as a central figure of Multiple Man (though I hardly use that name but that of civil Jamie Madrox) and and are not a government or attack, but a research agency that pulls over a black novel style mutants. Next week will see the latest Marvel in 1991, but before I say goodbye it's time for betting ..... That is sad because a pool was outside Guadalajara (the only ones happy are Diavolo Diego and that is a false goat that always wants evil to the institution.) Finally, although I kaga that TV Azteca dudes masturbate emotion in all its programs when champion the Morelia , I prefer that to win the putotes of cougars. So vote for an aggregate score of Monarchs 4, Pumas 2. If you want to participate in the pool leave your full score, it does not just say who wins, the prize on this occasion will be a game Diego. Adios
