Posted 1/31/2010 4:18:00 AM There remains one member of Selene's Inner Circle whose life we have not explored. Unlike the others, his is an unfamiliar face. His malignant history is anything but. Of all of Selene's minions, the threat he poses is perhaps the largest, both to the X-Men -- and maybe even to Selene herself. But who is this man? How did he obtain such power? Or, as Wolverine once put it: "Who the hell is Eli Bard?" Posted 1/24/2010 9:43:00 AM Selene's current plans involve resurrecting the dead and unleashing them against her enemies. Seeing the dead return from their graves is pretty horrific, but for Marvel's merry mutants... not so unusual. For the X-Men, death and resurrection is just another element of their extraordinary lives. Like the phoenix, these mutants often die only to be miraculously reborn.
Their demises come in great variety: sudden death and nearly immediate resurrection by cosmic forces, feigned deaths that leave the world believing them dead and on rare occasions, deaths that seem final everlasting. Keeping track of which X-Men are dead and who's returned from the great beyond can be a challenging task. Luckily, we've done the hard work for you and compiled the definitive X-Men Death Chart. Posted 1/18/2010 3:55:00 PM In Blink the Black Queen recruited a deadly teleporter for her Inner Circle, which is reason enough to believe that she might have been interested in adding Illyana Rasputin to her ranks as well. However, Belasco was ahead of the Selene, and had already arranged his apprentice's resurrection before the Black Queen could even ponder doing so. Frankly, in her current soulless state, Illyana would be of no use to Selene, as it's the deceased mutants' soul energy that she's been feeding on. Read the updated Spotlight On... entry of Magik I. Posted 1/10/2010 3:23:00 AM Every god or goddess needs worshipers, loyal followers who are there to tithe, support and idolize. Selene came to despise her rival Emma Frost, but she realized that the White Queen drew much of her power from her students. And so, Selene set out to build her own circle of faithful acolytes. As her first recruit she chose one of Frost's former charges who had strayed too far from the flock. The young man's connection to death was as profound as her own. Selene offered him everything that Xavier's school could not - understanding, utter acceptance, appreciation for his deadly touch and a chance at intimacy. Read now the sad history of the mutant called Wither. Posted 1/3/2010 3:12:00 PM 2010 kicks off with a closer look at two women who Selene could not ressurect for her Army of the Deceased as neither one was technically truly dead. While one of them was stuck on the astral plane as a psionic ghost, the other had thrown herself into a dimensional rift that was endangering the structure of the multiverse, only to end up in a hell where she didn't belong.
Fortunately, neither woman gave in to despair and they both managed to return to their husbands. Read the updated Spotlight On... entries of Meggan and Madelyne Pryor. Posted 12/19/2009 5:10:00 AM If little is known about Blink or Mortis, even less is known about Senyaka - except that he likes to kill, and that he's good at it. After a long journey of deaths, resurrections and shifting allegiances, this former Acolyte from Sri Lanka has finally found a place where he can put his innate talents to good use: Selene's Inner Circle. Review the sparse details of Senyaka's sordid history... if you dare.
