Cyclops vs Rogue: The New Era of X-Men
The X-Men are changing! Fans will see this in the upcoming "From the Ashes" era as two heroes, Rogue and Cyclops, have come to a point of clashing, setting up a new Krakoan Era. The rivalry, even appearing on the comic cover for the new X-Men comic, will show these iconic DC Comics heroes, clashing head-on!
Who Is In the X-Men Team, and What Has Happened to the Previous Era?
In Marvel Comics, X-men are back in an action-packed story. Cyclops and Rogue are leading their teams, both with vastly different visions. Both Cyclops and Rogue feel this shift comes with a sense of disillusionment and uncertainty! They are struggling to figure out the best way forward, as their leader, Xavier, has been jailed! He has taken on the title of Warden, which has broken many relationships, especially in the aftermath of losing Krakoa, a refuge for mutants.
Why Are Cyclops and Rogue Now at Odds?
These two have very different ideologies! Rogue believes in Xavier's dream for mutant equality. At the same time, Cyclops has taken on a more tactical and less trusting role. Their approaches are creating a rift in the X-Men community, which is leading them to go their separate ways and even conflict, both as leaders of their teams and potentially as individuals.
Does the X-Men Logo Now Mean Something New?
It looks like we will find a shocking change! The symbol for X-Men, the classic X, is now meant to represent two clashing lines, which is fitting as Cyclops and Rogue take opposite directions. This shows that even the meaning of this iconic symbol has been transformed.
Who is on Each of These New Teams?
Each team is made up of powerful characters: Task Force VII has Cyclops! They've made an effort to focus on protecting mutants from a world that might see them as a threat, showing his deep concern for survival, and will also highlight the ongoing danger from villains! Failsafe is another big concern in the fight for survival.
At the same time, Rogue is working to provide safe haven to young mutants, even as they try to evade threats like Task Force VII. She's also struggling with how the world's view of mutants has shifted since losing Krakoa, a major turning point. The team that she's working with, which includes Wolverine, also highlights this growing distrust that has been simmering, showing the ongoing need to create safety for the mutant population.
