The third Summers brother is supposed to be Adam X/X-Treme...And I was kinda leanin' towards him to be the mystery mutant, Because Adam X has the ability to basically light your blood on fire once it's hit the air...He burned Wolverine to a crisp...
But I kinda think it's Mimic...Because the mystery mutant didnt know Wolverine, But knew the original Marvel Girl...Mimic was an orginal X-Team member...
He first appeared in X-Men #19, Stan Lee's last issue. He was the first additional character added to the original five student lineup of the team and possesses the dubious honor of being the first member asked to leave the team.
Calvin Rankin was the son of a brilliant scientist and unbeknownst to him a mutant whose powers had not yet surfaced. Using one of his late father's inventions, Rankin awakened his latent mutant gift: the ability to temporarily copy the power of any mutant he came within ten feet of. Mimic set his sights on joining the X-Men and blackmailed his way into their ranks only to be expelled shortly afterwards for placing his own interests over those of the team. He was later apparently killed in a battle with the Incredible Hulk and was believed dead for years.
He got kicked off the team, Givin' him a motive...
He has the inate ability to "mimic" powers, copies intellect and physical traits after he is within ten feet or an unspecified distance from the particular mutant or person. He has permanently copied the powers of original five X-Men
Explaining his abilities...
Originally posted by FirestarWell, even if it is just a possible future, as long as it does not have an alternative past AS WELL, it will be true for ongoing timeline too.
In X-Men:The End,Spoiler:...though I think that was only a possible future so I'm not sure if it's true...
Gambit was Scott's half brother
1) Gambit is probably gonna kick the can in Blood of Apocalypse... and he hasn't been mentioned on the any of the team rosters after Apoc...
Also Gambit would be too easy an option as the 3rd brother, cos' well Claremont already made a non canon timeline where he is... they'll be no surprise if it is....
2) Adam X was in theory to be the Summers 3rd Brother from the Mothers side, who was raped and ***** slapped. But they ditched that idea long ago, because the writer left... also hes been MIA for tooooo long to be the brother.
3) Mimic has encountered the second generation of the Xmen when he was on the team that was hired to assinate Senator Kelly. Mimic has been around for such a long time, I fully believe hes met Wolveirne. if I'm wrong... I'm wrong.
My theory.... I honestly don't have one
mimic's not only met wolverine, his out-of-control power turned him into an exact physical replica of logan for a time. the villain from deadly genesis isn't mimic, unless continuity's been thrown in the trash.
also, the third summers brother is not gambit. the "sinister clone with summers blood" idea is specific to 'the end' alone, and has absolutely no reflection on canon as we know it. adam x was intended to be the third summers brother, but the idea was dropped around the time x-treme x-men started, as having a character whose name was the same as another book would've been too "confusing."
the villain may or may not be the third summers brother. i believe it was only said that the issue of TSB would be cleared up in deadly genesis, not that the villain was, for certain, the third brother.
also, some background history, TSB is an idea/term made up by the fans. the only canon information at all relative to the idea is when mister sinister said he'd been watching cyclops' "brothers" for some time. the plural was made note of in the comic, so it wasn't a continuity error. for all we know, there could be seventeen brothers, though the TSB idea seems to have made its way from fandom into the mainstream comicverse.
No spiolers just hints...That guys name is Vulcan.
-He is Omega-level or even higher, with some sort of psychokinetic powers..a former member of Moira's team. Also supporting this are the facts that he knows Cyclops, and assumedly knows the only other Marvel Girl, Jean Grey.Wears a red and blue uniform, and has black hair. Is seen in some sort of brown cloak. Has glowing yellow eyes and a yellow energy signature.
-His essence is pulled together in near Earth orbit, assumedly as a result of the massive energy transfer from the House of M.
-The nightmares the individual members of the team experience are being caused by his teammate Sway's power.
-Related to the mission to rescue the original X-men From Krakoa..
-and the big story is yeah is the long lost 3rd Summers Brother..
