MICHAEL POINTER (Profile)

Spotlight On...

The Mad Merlin, the Warlock, the Demonspawn... this mentat has used many names throughout the centuries. The source of his power is questionable, but not his willingness to use it. He seeks the secrets of eternal youth and the opportunity to fulfill his every fantasy of power. Today we look closely at the man sometimes known as... MAHA YOGI!
Brilliant master of the insect arts, August Hopper knows the value of a good bug. Whether he's battling the uncanny X-Men or the incredible Hulk, Doc Hopper is always... well, losing. Today's Spotlight falls on that one guy, the bug guy who isn't Hank Pym... LOCUST!
Absolute power breeds absolute addiction. A mutant empowered by other mutants, Michael had a rude awakening when the Collective chose him as a host after the Decimation. Blamed for actions beyond his control and deliberately kept addicted to those energies, Weapon Omega was kept as a useful pawn by CSIS and Norman Osborn. Perhaps one day he will chart his own path, but for now we shine the Spotlight On... POINTER, MICHAEL!

Profile On... MAHA YOGI!

One of Marvel's oldest mutants, this villain debuted in Thor's feature the same month as X-Men #1 in 1963. However, he has struggled desperately to find a place ever since. The idea that Merlin was the first evil mutant didn't last, so he was renamed the Warlock and confirmed as an imposter of the real Merlin. He next used a stage name as the Maha Yogi...which somehow became his latest codename as well. Then his mutant powers weren't as important as his ties to the Caretaker of Arcturus (Remember them? Don't lie!) or his fragment of the Bloodgem, or Peter David losing a bet and having to write a story with Red Raven. Nearly 25 years later, "Merlin II" has yet to return from his last evil scheme.

Profile On... LOCUST!

APRIL FOOLS! Just kidding...these guys are idiots. This week is a highlight reel of some of the X-Men's oldest (but lamest) villains. Arguably the X-Men's first real "miss" of a villain, Dr. August Hopper was an insect-obsessed scientist with no mutant abilities or ties to the X-Men's growing lore. The Locust could just as easily have popped up in Tales to Astonish or Amazing Spider-Man, but instead he got used here. Last seen over 20 years ago, the biggest challenge the Locust offered the original X-Factor was remembering who he was!

GREATEST VILLAINS WEEK

This week! On UncannyXmen.net! A celebration! A rogues gallery of fearsome foes who have gone unheralded for years, but have stymied the X-Men since the earliest days. Tremble before their might! Witness their power! And ready yourselves for a week of terrifying villains the likes of which this world have never seen!

Update On... STRYFE!

"Stryfe is dead!!" ...boy, if I only had a nickel for each time we've heard that. As a follow-up to Cable's Update, today we focus on his twisted twin, the Chaos-Bringer. Stryfe has returned from certain death multiple times now, through new bodies or time loops or both. He is anarchy incarnate and the very concept of Stryfe seems enmeshed into the timeline, a bad penny that will always turn up from one history or another to threaten Cable in the past, present, and future.

Update on... CABLE!

Well... that was complicated. Marvel finally resolved the time paradox of the Original Five X-Men by introducing a time looped "Kid Cable" to send them home. Organizing Cable's personal timeline challenged the very concept of cause-and-effect, but at least the kid seems to have returned to his appropriate time now, and the old man is back again. Now that his past is reconciled and his daughter is lost, though, it remains to be seen what Cable will do "next."

Spotlight update on...COLOSSUS!

Next in our Giant-Size Updates is Colossus, who really can never seem to catch a break. Since we last checked, the X-Man of Steel has been tortured by Sentinels, lost and regained his powers, been left at the alter by Kitty Pryde, broken-hearted again when they relived their attraction in the Age of X-Man, and finally turned into a sleeper agent by his own brother. Piotr lost his agency for the whole of the Age of Krakoa, leaving him doubting his decisions and his impression of others. His impact on the Quiet Council helped bring down the nation, and Colossus currently seems to be in seclusion until he can get his head on straight again. (Wondering the connection between Colossus and Tank in X-Force? So are we! But this article had a deadline, so...see you next update!)
