X-Men 2099 Villain BRIMSTONE LOVE coming to the Marvel 616?! Character History, Powers, and Theories

[@Jumpoable]

Oh cool. Never got into 2099, so this was a recap I needed.

[@joechlystun7979]

sooo.....bought all the x-men 2099 issues in the discount bin the other day. Better late then never I always say. Great GREAT run! Ron Lim sure can draw these future apocalyptic future books like that first run of ex-mutants! got to find me this Marauders annual. i heard that brimstone love dies in the issue. Hope not! good thing that no one ever stays dead in comics

Halloween Jack was in the first vol of Xforce. And Marvel has said that 2099 is the future of 616.

What X-Men 92 copy did the 2099 team show up in? I would love to see a X-MEN 2099 Cartoon Series.

[@GreatXMentations]

Omg me too. I think it would be a lot of fun. I would even settle for a re-launch of the comic series. The X-Men '92 issues they showed up in were numbers 5 & 10 of volume 2. But it was only for a hot second, and they barely did much at all.

I am hopping that this Brimstone Love is from the current time. Was it ever revealed if he was a mutant himself or a demon? I've gone looking but I can't find anywhere that says what race he's of. Be interesting if he was a demon that only recently either a) got strong enough to "branch out on his own" or b) was imprisioned for some time and only recently broke free. Being from current time would give him time to 'establish' (within story not with fandom) himself as a powerful force. Beyond that, I have hope that he would be a recurring villain for the Marauders and not just a one time event. That's one thing the Marauders are missing, a rouge's gallery of their own. So far, discounting the 'inherited' villain's that oppose all mutants (this included the anti-mutant Russian forces), the main recurring opponents they face -that we've seen- are Homini Verendi. And basically they are the background while they send out thugs to fight in their place. It would be interesting for teh Marauders to have a super-powered villain that appears mainly in their title. Like how the Hordeculture appeared in X-Men and Mikhail is mainly in X-Force, Shadow King mainly is in New Mutants. Orchis is against all mutants. Marauders needs their own villains.

[@GreatXMentations]

Yeah I agree, I would love for them to have their own recurring super-powered battles. I imagine this guy's gotta be a demon, right? Or else it's quite the intense mutation. If he is from the current time, I wouldn't mind if there was some Limbo tie-in with his origin story. I love demon-on-demon action and it would be fun to see him and Belasco go head-to-head

[@Katzztar]

@@GreatXMentations Yeah I miss Kate having a encounter with the two creeps that keep popping up in her life= Ogun the demon Ninja and Belasco the demon lord ... oppps my bad as of Curse of the Man-Thing, Belasco is a Hell-lord. I didn't add them to the Marauder's villians gallery for two reasons- 1- they are not exclusive to the team or to Kate, they've bedeviled others as well (Belasco focused on Illyana or the X-Men team as a whole, while Ogun also focused on Logan) 2- They have not appeared in the pages of Marauders .... yet Yet both are villains that pop up again and again in Kate's life in some form or fashion. We know that Ogun is the one to turn Kitty into a killer ninja, giving her skills of a master assassin. While she rarely uses ALL of those skills, she still has them. BUT many don't realize just how much Belasco has focused on Kate. Most remember that fateful issue where he kidnaps Illyana, but I have to wonder how many realize he was after Kitty too. After trapping her in the eldritch crystal he tells her "You, dear Kitty, and Illyana are the means to my freedom and the Elder Gods victory." Then in mini-series X-Men: Black Sun (he's the main villain) he not only tricks Kitty into drinking demon blood but also calls her "My Beloved Catspaw" and says no one knows her as intimately as he (veerrry creepy vibes) He steals her soul ... though she gets it back at the end, its also revealed that when she was in the eldritch crystal, he put a spell of dominion on her, there were mystic symbols etched on her rib. (more on that below) One aspect of this spell was that he can just summon her to him. ... though nothing in this minisereis has been used since then, not even mentioned. Some will bring up she's not in her original body since her resurrection so wouldn't that negate the spell? Nope. After all her body was discorpated , became nothing but mist at final moment, after her injuries from the Morlock Massacre back when she was 14. So when she reformed, it would been like new body formed. Yet that spell was still there when she was an adult in Black Sun. I've lost hope that any of those elements pop up again though. Too bad because it does make Belasco a dangerous villian to Kate

Loved this video

[@AdrianMendoza23]

I don't know about this one. I'm getting nervous. So, I guess the Marauders will stop being a part of the Hellfire Trading Company. BTW, what did you think of Inferno #1?

[@GreatXMentations]

I liked it! I was happy they began with the resurrection instead of drawing it out over the series. I think if it maintains that pace it'll be a fun read

[@AdrianMendoza23]

@@GreatXMentations were you excited to see ex-Morlock Tommy as an agent of X-Force?

[@alejandromilici7763]

Maybe he is from Arakko?
