Meet Gambit's Cats and a New Member in All New X-Factor # 3

Here are a couple of spoiler details for ALL NEW X-FACTOR # 3 by Peter David and Carmine Di Giandomenico.


I liked this issue in general. It's uppity happy and then sad and it's nice that we get to see the next member for the team once again.

Oh and totally loved the scene with Gambit and his cats.

Awww yiss they are so cute.

Later in the issue, Serval realizes that they've been hacked and deploys their new team to track down the hacker. Turns out it's Nil from Gambit's Guild of Thieves. Upon confronting the hacker, they are led to the source of the technomancer's newfound power

Yes, apparently after the dissolution of Utopia and formation of the New Uncanny team, Danger's been AWOL. Turns out she's been held captive.

Much like how she lashed out when she was unleashed in Astonishing X-Men, Danger once again goes berserk.

This is Not Quicksilver. The First Look at Evan Peter's QUICKSILVER

A couple of new photos for X-MEN: DAYS OF FUTURE PAST has surfaced and now it features Bryan Singer's version of the mutant speedster Quicksilver played by Evan Peters.


Soooooo. This is what they've managed to pull off from Magneto's son and twin brother for the Scarlet Witch???

Seriously, that's not Quicksilver... or at least the Quicksilver I knew and grew up with while reading comic books. This is what Quicksilver looks like...


Okay, first off I was thinking that Bryan Singer and the rest of the production people for Days of Future Past would think of at least nailing the speedster's trademark look. Instead we're getting this. a guy with green hair (or what at least we can assume is green hair ala Polaris).

Another reason why this new Quicksilver irks me is the fact that they had to make his mutant powers too obvious by giving him goggles. I mean, sure, it's like important for a speedster to wear goggles while running but it's just too obvious. If they gave Peters something like a tracksuit or leather jacket that would've added more mystique to the character. But then they settled for goggles. 

Ultimate Quicksilver

Gonna give them the benefit of the doubt with regards to the hair but could they just get rid of the goggles for pietro's sake, we're looking at a bad ass speedster and not Impulse here...


Ay nako, 20th Century Fox executives, get your act straight. We've had enough of your meddling with the designs for the mutants on the X-Men movies.

A Hint of Things to Come for X-FACTOR

X-FACTOR's coming to a close what with the issue getting cancelled after the final issue. But it seems like Marvel (or writer Peter David) isn't done with this group of merry mutants! 

It also looks like Quicksilver is returning to the fold

At the moment I haven't read the book (gonna make sure I do when I visit Comicx Hub later) but based from what Bleedingcool has posted it seems like there's a new company with some hidden agenda and X-Factor members in mind.


And yes I remember that the original mandate for X-Factor was to collect mutants under the guise of encarceration but since the team was handled by the original five X-Men (now appearing in ALL NEW X-MEN btw) said captured mutants were set free and given new identities. 

Maybe this is going to be the same thing with whoever got to Polaris. And with this, we bump up the possibility of X-FACTOR getting a MARVEL NOW 2 relaunch to 80%. The bigger question is whether or not PAD will be back to write the book. And that this was only a platform to relaunch the book with a new direction in mind.
