DARK X-MEN

I was curious about Dark X-Men as Marvel's attempt at the group was so short lived and I thought they had potential. I look at the roster and immediately think of the mutant version of Thunderbolts, which is a good thing. I am very happy to see Juggernaut on the team, I think his character has a lot of untapped potential being Xavier's only blood relative that he didn't father himself. I actually quite enjoyed seeing him as an X-Man in the main Marvel U even if it was clumsily handled most of the time.

Fantomex has been getting the most play along with Domino and Gambit, no surprise there as they are the most popular of the members we've seen so far. I am looking forward to seeing what Xavier said/did to convince Cain to join.

Overall it is a fun concept that hasn't really been done with mutants yet (other than that Mystique series by Marve which was actually pretty good IMO) and I look forward to see where the journey takes us.

Thanks for the comments Tim. I appreciate them. And yea, I liked Juggernaut working for the side of the angels too. I think he works just as well as a villain, but this is fanfic so why not go with a little progression. But you're right in Domino, Fantomex and Gambit getting the most focus at first. I figured it'd be better to get the bigger characters out the way before zooming in on the less known, but no less important, guys.
