X-MEN Canon Version part 7

Welcome back , this is a picture now with maybe 3 decent people & others that are manipulators , schemers , killers & downright cannibalistic predators .
You know , Why haven't these guys gone into a full-blown backstabbing war yet ? I think that's the main problem with the club , they have a lot of powerful members yet the concept is used only for eye-candy . Come on ! Time to shake up the dusty club ! Treason, back-stabbing & ambition, not just corsets & eye-candy (& if you tell it is a strip club, I swear I'll show you what the hand told the face ! ), now time for a civil war between the 2 leaders;

SELENE Elisabeth Bathory + Super succubus fused in one body & yes I'm a fan of this look of hers... makes her look more regal .

SUNSPOT HEY! Hold the tomatoes ! I can explain because it's a really juicy plotline everyone lazily ignored (JF Moore you unsung Genius ) Roberto is approached by Selene who offered him his deceased father Emmanuel's seat in the Club's Inner Circle, as the seats are inherited. She promised Roberto that she will resurrect Juliana if he joins and he agrees.She kept her part of the bargain, but only to a certain extent (well you're lucky she didn't eat you...). She does bring back the spirit of Juliana, but inserts it into the body of a comatose girl . Having to fulfill his promise, Roberto decides to stay, becoming Selene's Black Rook.Roberto attempts to contact the resurrected Juliana, but seeing she has no memory of her previous life, he decides to leave her alone.But for how long ? You ladies & gents make the call on this one !

DONALD PIERCE In reparation, was found in 6 pieces in the himalaya mountains since his last appearance in Cable , where he was betrayed by Shaw ... Yep , I take the baddies from the most surprisisngly ignored plotlines .

SHINOBI SHAW Because all Ceasar needs a Brutus, especially one that's reaally pissed at daddy

EMPATH Heh, one of the few hellions that survived for me deserves to play in the big boys game now

Now to the Shaw side ( of course any of them can switch at any time, opportunism after all )

MAGMA Yep , this one was a tough one to place. Last time I checked she was in Bedlam's team . You can say that some people in front of her are on her pay back list

KING BEDLAM Chris Aaronson, extremely ambitious & devious. Immune to telepathy , & ready to eliminate nearly anyone that would stand on his way. Nearly anyone...

TAROT Marie-Ange is one few people Chris cares for ( he genuinely loves her, it's in the cards baby !). Since he saved her, her personna is a bit more pragmatic & has a better use of her abilities such as taking some characteristics of her cards. And don't think I forgot her friendship with some of those in the previous posters

TESSA I'm gonna say this out loud , I hate X-treme x-men, the whole Sage retcon was ridiculous & went nowhere. Thus I largely find the faithful, objective & analytical secretary to Sebastian Shaw to be vastly superior

VINCENTE New recruit here, (hey, who doesn't need a poisonous man in his ranks ?)

MOUNTJOY This guy comes from Bishop 's timeline & managed to stay alive (unlike Fitzroy who bit the dust...) , Check out his powers & see why this guy isn't the kind you can turn your back on...

SEBASTIAN SHAW Look, if Shaw is an ex-nazi , a "telepath" & part of the good guys then I'm a mongoose ! In fact , the take that I loved on hiw was the Hellfire club mini-series (& naysayers take a hike to hell , I LOVE that mini, Bite ME !). We learn that he was indeed a self-made man , driven by ambition & the ever growing picture. He also acts as an amoral egotist, but most of his enemity with the x-men comes more from a "it's just business" perspective. Of course He knows how to watch his own back ...

There I think that does it for the club , for the next installments are far more ... MALICIOUS ! HAHHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAAA ! Also try to guess which game the objects on the table refer to...
