What have I missed X-Men wise?

[aj4life16]

I hear about all these big storylines for them since House Of M. What have I missed altogether?

[murs47]

I don't even know where to begin. Honestly, this is probably the best X stuff I've read since AoA. Most of what has been going on has been build up for Messiah Complex. I'll put some tidbits in spoilers just in case.

[spoiler]Let's see, Rogue went crazy because she absorbed the memory of millions of Shi'ar at once.
Cable is dead. :(
Lot's of X-Kids die in a terrorist attack on the school. Death Toll: 45. :o
Wolverine has a son. He's crazy.
The third Summers brother was revealed. He's also crazy. And he killed his dad, Corsair.
Professor X can walk again.
Magneto is alive...somewhere.
Beast teamed up with dark Beast to try and find a cure for what Wanda did.
Quicksilver exposed himself to the terragin mists and is now a complete weirdo/psycho.
Mystique, Gambit, Random, Exodus, and the Acolytes have all teamed up with Sinister and his Marauders.[/spoiler]

I'm sure more people will show up and add more info, fix any of my mistakes/misinformation, and possibly elaborate further.

Damn that allot of things.

What event/series did these all happen?  :blink:

I'm more then sure I'm forgetting plenty of stuff too. :banghead:

Here's one more thing I remember:
[spoiler]Gambit, Sunfire, and Polaris all became Horseman of Apocalypse. Polaris is back to being an X-Men but the other two are still a bit on the dark side. They're working for/with Sinister now.[/spoiler]

Almost all of this happens in the core books. Adjectiveless, Uncanny, New, and X-Factor.
Wolverine's kid is in Wolverine:Origins series and the reveal of the third Summers brother was in X-Men: Deadly Genesis mini.

Hmm I know theres some websites that cover all this, maybe I can dig them up.

In the meantime a quickie version:
-Uncanny: Lots of Claremont stuff of little importance, followed by Brubaker's run which starts with a 12 issue long journey into space and then a Morlocks story.
-X-Men: Milligan's usually considered poor run highlighted by the terrible Apocalypse story. Then Carey's different but beloved X-Men run staring Rogue, Cable, Mystique, Iceman, Cannonball and Sabretooth.
-The detective agency type book X-Factor staring Madrox. Critically acclaimed but usually removed from most X-stuff.
-New X-men, a creative shift, a highly controversial storyline involving the deaths of 45 students, followed by some less controversial stories. Generally considered action packed. Has lots of passionate fans for the new teen mutants.
-Cable and Deadpool: Cabe took over a country and Deadpool gained a sidekick Bob agent of Hydra. Cable died. Book's ending soon.
-Exiles: long running story with Proteus resulting in the deaths of Mimic and Morph, though Proteus ended up becoming Morph. Then Claremont took over.
-Some mini's:
Deadly Genesis: introduces the third Summers brother Vulcan, kills off Banshee and leads into Brubaker's Uncanny run, and then into Emperor Vulcan.
198 and X-men Civil War: about the remaining mutants and government control.

And now Messiah Complex a crossover between X-Men, Uncanny, X-Factor and New X-Men.
-Gambit and Sunfire join Sinister and the Marauders
-Exodus and Acolytes join Sinister
-Mystique betrays X-men and joins Sinister
-Rogue captured
-Cannonball wounded.
-Sinister's army trying to acquire information about future.
-Cerebra detects new mutant birth. Sinister and the Purifiers (evil religious zealots from New X-Men, killed 45 kids) beat the X-Men there. Unknown who has the baby.
-Cyclops enlists Rictor (from X-Factor, depowered) to infiltrate Purifers, and Madrox and Layla Miller (girl from HoM who knows "stuff") to work with Forge to check future timelines to learn what Sinister knows.
-X-Men track down former Acoyltes to find Exodus and Sinister.
-New X-men go against orders and attack the Purifiers in revenge. Learn that Lady Deathstrike and the Reavers have joined forces with Purifiers. One of the kids seriously wounded.
-X-Men launch attack against Sinister
~story is on going.

[Panther_Gunn]

[spoiler]Quicksilver exposed himself to the terragin mists and is now a complete weirdo/psycho.[/spoiler]

Well, at least he's finally on one side or the other, and not floating back & forth.  ;)

Cable is dead? When did that happen.

[Podmark]

Cable is dead? When did that happen.

X-Men 200 / Cable and Deadpool #...uh I don't remember the number. C&D just expanded the story from 200 though. Sunfire and Gambit attacked him after Providence was totaled in the battle against the Hecatomb. To stop Gambit and Sunfire from getting his data archives Cable had the island self destruct with himself still inside.

However [spoiler]Cable is still alive!  :o[/spoiler]

[lugaru]

Over in Astonishing X-Men Colossus returns from the dead and makes whoopie with kitty pride repeatedly. Nothing else has happened that is earth shattering, and who cares. It's still been some of the best x-men stories in years, and this is coming from somebody who dosent like Whedons voice at all.

About Cable dying... [spoiler]it's like assuming that Nightcrawler would die if he's left in a burning building. Cable is a big time teleporter... no body, no kill. [/spoiler]
