Also, what�s up with Stature from the Young Avengers? Did she register?

That’s a good question. I would presume so, as she joined up with Iron Man’s side during the conflict, which probably came with an instant registration.

So what’s up with the webbing? Did anyone consider that one the NW’s power’s might be the ability to “technologically mimic” powers of other super heroes? We’ve seen flight, shrinking, and now webbing. Also, what’s up with Stature from the Young Avengers? Did she register?

I totally agree with the x-book syndrome, but it doesn’t look like it will go that way. It seems like the x-books have always been separate from what I call the “Avengers Universe”: Where the super human battles other super humans and mutants are largely ignored. Where the S.H.R.A. is a real thing and humans and heroes have a delicate relationship. I think it should be interesting to see some former mutants and x-men,coming out of one minority and into another with just as much hate shining their way, fighting the (iron)man. Or it could completely suck and further tarnish the rep of the New Warriors. But it does have a glimmer of hope.

Oh and is there a problem with having de-powered eX-men comprising this book?

I wouldn’t say it’s a problem, unless it turns into another x-franchise Exiles started out clever and interesting, but eventually became tied to the Earth 616 reality, and is now essentially just another X-book, with too many ties to regular continuity, and having even left one of it’s members behind on Earth during a mega-crossover event.

I probably shouldn’t use X-Book as a pejoritive, but I don’t want to have to buy Uncanny, Adjectiveless, and X-Factor to understand the story, as I would have to if I wanted to keep up with “Endangered Species.” And I’m still holding out hope that we’ll see at least SOME tie to the original Warriors lineup. Let’s see:

Justice: Conscripted.
Nova: In Space.
Namorita: Dead.
Night Thrasher: Dead?
Speedball: El Bonzo Seco.
Firestar: Quit.
Rage: Conscripted.
Darkhawk: Loners
Hindsight: In Jail Pending Criminal Charges, Presumably.
Turbo: Loners.
Alex Power: Status (And Age) Uncertain.
Scarlet Spider: Deceased.
Slapstick: Conscripted.
Microbe: Blowed Up Real Good.

Bandit, Helix, Timeslip, Silhouette, Aegis, Ultra Girl, Dagger and Debrii are still at large, though most of them probably wouldn’t have a whole lot of reason to revive the Warriors name…

Yes! Everyone one has their guilty superhero pleasure, and mine has always been Jubilee. I am glad to see her back. I think I might start picking up this book. Oh and is there a problem with having de-powered eX-men comprising this book. It seems that most of the Marvel U has forgotten that M-day even happened.

As much as I hate Wolverine, and discuss anything about him, I think it should be said for the character, that he won’t just notice his former sidekicks, but also those that he has come upon, especially former teammates/X-Men that are now New Warriors.

I just hope the small runt won’t end up joining the NW, else i’m dropping it.

Unfortunately, Medina’s weakness is my Fave character: Venom. He draws a HIDEOUS Venom, all gigantic bulging thighs and acidc slime and slobbery tongue. I far preferred the ‘Slightly large Spidey with a mouthful of sharp teeth’ look.

The gauntlets could be generic and there a silhouette that look almost exactly like Jubilee next to Wondra’s. The only think that sways me is that Logan recognizes Wondra and I don’t know enough about Logan to say who else it could be.

Also, Night Thrasher could be Henry Pym. Yes, I know that he’s in the Initiative but he could be putting a false front and acting as Thrash to oppose the Initiative. Or the Pym in the Initiative could be a Skrull…

Seeing Medina draw that flashback makes me remember how much I miss him on NXM (the new guy is good, but I prefer Medina).

maybe that’s still Jubilee…

maybe Night Thrasher is gathering depowered mutants (or X-Men specifically), and giving each of them gadgets (like Wondra’s gauntlets) to use as their new powers. Considering Thrash is a tech genius, he can whip us several gadgets for these young depowered mutants to use…

and considering Beak’s not in his usual self and still on the team, we might just well learn what his “new” powers and abilities are in the next few issues…

as for Night Thrasher, I’d like to think thats ol’ Dwyane inside that suit… but if its a different person… how about the former Speedball? he should at least want to bring the New Warriors name back to glory, but last I saw him, he was still insane over at Thunderbolts.
