Cool. Can anyone give me the general gist of the Exiles? I know the hop around, saving realities and crap, but what's the larger story. The only issues I read was the King Hyperion arc, which I was disgusted by, so I never picked it up again, even though Austen left. Any critical issues you'd recommend?
X-Men Exiles (Composed entirely of X-Men, a non x-men based team will be posted later )
(please log in to view the image)
Scott Summers and Piotr Rasputin (Cyclops and Colossus) come from a reality where the Phoenix, after taking control of Jean Grey, massacred every other X-Man, including professor xavier. A last ditch attempt by the Shiar and several high level telepaths defeated the phoenix, but jean grey was killed in the process. Cyclops and Colossus are the last two remaining members of the now defunct x-men. They now work as part of shield dealing with mutant specific cases. Their powers are consistent with their current normal marvel universe abilities.
Xi’an “Shan” Coy Manh (also known as Karma) comes from a reality where at a young age Erik Lensherr died in a pow camp. He never lived to manifest his powers, thereby paving the way for professor xavier to build a lasting peace between humans and mutants. In this reality mutants are valued members of society. She is a criminal lawyer, her abilities include: the ability to project a psionic energy surge that overwhelms her victims' consciousness while placing her mind in command, allowing her to alter their perceptions and memories, command entranced opponents to divulge information, or operate their bodies as if they were an extension of her own, also can generate a psionic deflector shield that disrupts incoming psi-signatures, protecting her from all manner of psychic assault.
Warren Worthington the third comes from a reality where he never joined the x-men, never lost his wings or became a horseman. he is a wealthy socialite who uses his mutant abilities for financial gain by being an actor in hollywood movies...
cool team pr1983!!! and khellendros.....it's ok to be in denial, but eventually you will have to realize that my exiles are just simply more kick assey. It was a noble attempt, but it has not surpassed my team. (i tried to make that as condescending as possible!)
i though the idea of slapping a sybiote on a wolverine like character was a really good idea. symbiotes take on their appearance based on the personality and character of the person who wears it, so what would your feral's symbiote look like you think?
I have read about a couple dozen or so issues, so I'm not the most current, but from what I read so far, Havok from another dimension had some devastating power that created a chain reaction that effected other dimensions and thus changed the existence of many people's lives. The Exiles consist of members who's dimension timeline have been effected and due to circumstances, such as them not existing anymore or some freak incident (Morph being left in a beacon flask), they are formed to makes changes in other dimensions from saving the world, or on the other spectrum, administering genocide in order to restore their own dimension.
Eventually when a problem is fixed in enough dimension or a member is killed off, one member usually ends up leaving the group and a different one comes as a replacement. Exiles are generally the ones to save lives, while Mutant X are those to administer killing to solve the problem (they are told to, not because they're generally psychopaths). However, I have seen when the Exiles' role was doing the other way around.

I haven't read Weapon X (sorry, I think I got the name wrong) comics, but they do make on and off appearances in Exiles and their leader Sabertooth is the same one that Blink of Exiles remember (both appear to have come from the AOA timeline). I guess Weapon X to Exiles could be loosely classified as the X-Force (brutal or questionable methods) to the X-Men (Exiles as more caring), but that doesn't mean they necessarilly like killing; when they go to a new dimension, they are all given an assignment and most often the Weapon X are there to kill.

I think you may have it confused. Mutant X was a series where Havok was shunted into the body of an alternate reality version of himself. He eventually got back to his own reality but was comatose (woke up in Uncanny X-Men during Austens run). When he left, the Mutant X universe kind of...blew up.
Hmm... If Mutant X is what you are implying about Havok, that does sound like this correlates with Exiles. During one of their dimensional trips, they were to save two young mutants, one being Franklin Richards I believe from Havok who was going through a stage where he would eventually be dominated by himself from another dimension. The guide for the Exiles specified that this alternatively powerful Havok was the cause of all the dimensional side effects that started their journey.
I dunno, probably similar in color, at least, to Carnage. Black and dark red. I doubt Logan would have much use for the crazy tendrils all over the place, and he'd probably wanna keep his nose and mouth free like with the usual Wolverine costume. So, aside from colors, I don't see him looking much like Carnage.
