Hardball dies first.

The Champions is an arrogant name. We were thinking these were celebrities first and heroes second. Like X-statix. So, your new Champions courtesy of me and @trappgodd.bsky.social:
-Geiger
-Hardball
-Justice
-Darkstar
-Shatterstorm
-Deadpool, the ultimate fame hound.

In a post-Krakoa world, X-Factor continues that tradition with new urgency. This team is part mutant private detective agency, part team of former fugitives trying to find mutants on the run before anti-mutant forces do.

I will catch up tomorrow with the Illuminati and X-Factor sometime after work hopefully.

While we are here catching up on the #NuffSaidNovemberChallenge, I am also going to do the Defenders. When I think Defenders I think mystical, female led (RIP Candy Southern), and thrown together by circumstances. So for my Defenders I am going with:
-Amanda Sefton
-Hellcat
-Pixie
-Tigra
-Rek-Rap

Not that Coates needs any more feathers in his cap, but if these monsters were complaining about me I would take real pride in that.

we should not be letting any company get away with blaming AI for their failures. I'm not even sure how we got to this point. people are like "it's just a tool" okay so is a forklift and we still hold somebody responsible when it goes wrong and hurts someone. this is YOUR AI!

Jamie will spend most of his time complaining about not being a king despite being the only person in the Hellfire Club to have actually been a monarch.

I really agonized over Fenris. But at the end of the day I wanted to drive home the Hellfire Club is back to being truly truly awful.
