This wasn’t your parents' Brotherhood of Evil Mutants... though, considering they first appeared nearly 24 years ago, perhaps they might be now? Originally conceived as a series that delved into the mindset behind terrorism, this title introduced several original characters who were never seen again after the book’s cancellation. The series wasn’t axed due to poor sales, but rather because of a real-world event that made Marvel and its writer uncomfortable continuing to publish it. Additionally, it served as a proving ground for emerging artistic talents, including Esad Ribić and Sean Philips, both of whom would later achieve significant acclaim.

Welcome to UXN! 24 Years and still for the fans, by the fans!
Spotlight On... BLING!!
Roxanne was born into the world of fame, being the child of hip-hop royalty. Despite her star-studded upbringing, she rejected this lifestyle after facing constant dangers, including frequent kidnapping attempts. As a teenager, she discovered her mutant powers, turning her skin into crystal, and joined the Xavier Institute to try and find a sense of belonging. One of the X-Men's few bonafide lesbian characters and victim of grand theft (if you ask her!) during the X-Men vote in the second Hellfire Gala, read here about Bling!
Update on... the VIPER!
Another cross-site update, today we add the former Madame Hydra to MightyAvengers.Net's Spotlights on nefarious villains. Nihilist, terrorist... freedom fighter? The Viper is a militant foe to the common order of society, willing to give her own life (and more often the lives of others) in pursuit of her cause. Sometimes reasonable enough to cooperate with Spider-Woman or the X-Men, other times so insane that even the Red Skull had to reign her in, one should never trust the Viper or turn one's back on her for long.
Update On... WOLVERINE!
In 1986, Captain America had his first team up with Wolverine and swore afterwards that the feisty X-Man would never be an Avenger. Well, it wouldn't be the last time Cap was dead wrong about something. Today's update continues our All-New, All-Different X-Men Updates while also adding Wolverine to MightyAvengers.Net. Logan has certainly matured over the years, becoming a school headmaster, a team player, and a widely respected hero in the community. The one-time wild card and short fuse may still have a few berserker rages left in him, but on most days he can be trusted to act as the adult in the room or even babysit your children! How's that for character growth?
Article: LIFE, THE UNIVERSE AND EVERYTHING: A GUIDE TO THE COSMOS
As a companion article for this week's Captain Universe Spotlight, we delve deep into the mechanics of the Marvel Universe itself. The cosmic hierarchy of forces began with Steve Ditko, was expanded by Jim Starlin, Ron Lim, and Mark Gruenwald, and is currently the playground of Al Ewing. What came before this universe, what is the universe made of, and what will happen at cosmos' end? Read here to find out!
Spotlight On... LARRY TRASK!
Ever make a joke and then immediately get humbled by the universe? Our Monolith confidently announced Larry Trask as the LEAST likely mutant to ever get resurrected on Krakoa... mere days before the Sentinels limited was announced. Charles Xavier's record of good decisions led to a new Sentinel program in the aftermath of Krakoa's fall. Bolivar Trask's mutant son may have grown from "destroy all mutants" to "detain only dangerous mutants" but that only means he now struggles to make allies among humans and mutants alike. Back in action after 50+ years, Larry Trask wraps up this week of lame villains as a reminder than ANYTHING is possible on a long enough timeline...
