Spotlight On... WRAITH II

Hector Rendoza was a nondescript teenager in Boston until his mutation made him impossible to ignore. Recruited by Jean Grey in a scene directly paralleling Xavier's recruitment of Nightcrawler in Giant-Sized X-Men, the code-named Wraith found himself whisked off to Genosha as a temporary X-Man. For a mutant in over his head and a power not fully developed, it was amazing that Hector found the courage to stand up to one of the world's most dangerous mutants, Magneto. Since this original act of heroism Wraith has not reappeared and was indirectly confirmed to be depowered. So while Wraith may have never achieved full invisibility with his powers, he did manage to disappear from the printed page. Read now the brief history of...Wraith II.

Bonus Update: Catch up with Wraith's Genosha Assault teammate and new family man Omerta.

X-MEN ROSTER UPDATE - viva la REVOLUTION and going X-TREME

In out latest entry to the X-Men Roster we come to the fabled six-month gap that saw many characters leave the X-Men, switch powers and gain snazzy new outfits in an unseen six-month period.

Update On...CYPHER

When we first published this spotlight in 2009 this young man had spent more time dead than alive. Not long after he was one of the many mutants to be brought back by Selene, only he stuck around afterwards, unlike so many others. Whilst his powerset was often joked about in the 80's, the modern era has shown him to be an instrumental and adaptive mutant, so much so that he has positioned himself as one of the key mutants on Krakoa. With an article full of death, resurrections, love and Self-Friend, please read our updated spotlight on...CYPHER

Spotlight On... HIGH EVOLUTIONARY

Herbert Edgar Wyndham was a self-taught geneticist convinced he would be the one to uncover the secrets of life. His genetic accelerator elevated simple animals into sapient bipeds known as the New Men. In order to teach them ethics and a code of conduct, Wyndham stylized himself as the Lord High Evolutionary to train his Knights of Wundagore. Wyndham's ego has only grown since then, and exposure to his own genetic accelerator unlocked evolved powers which feed his ideas of grandeur. A tinkerer and perfectionist, the Evolutionary will experiment on living things just to see what will happen, then destroy sentient lifeforms or entire societies he had created for not meeting his exacting standards. While not strictly a villain, the High Evolutionary has little regard for the rights and lives of creatures he considers beneath himself, and his God Complex has extended that disregard towards all of humanity.

Crossover entry on... the ALL-ACCESS

The sequel to DC vs Marvel took place in a time of unprecedented collaboration between the big two comic book companies and was one of several crossover titles. This particular one is perhaps a more personal tale that follows neophyte superhero, Access (an unusual superhero who is reputedly owned by both Marvel and DC) and his efforts to keep the realities separate and figure out his own place in the world. During the course of this adventure Access teams up with some of comic greats like Superman, Spiderman, Batman and......Jubilee? P.S The X-Men also fight the Justice League.
