Nate Grey, X-Man | Shot down my Marvel leader
NRAMA: X-MAN
Best suited for ongoing solo, limited series, or cast member
JQ: A cast member, perhaps a limited series.
Why it worked/didn’t work in the past:
JQ: X-Man was a fun concept but I also feel a product of his time. Why he worked was simple, he spun out of Age of Apocalypse and he had two great creators at the helm.
What it would need to work today?
JQ: There is one huge obstacle with X-Man and that’s that his origin is so complex that it’s hard to wrap your arms around it. Here is mired in X-Men lore and without a working understanding of the world of X-Men he won’t resonate with the reader.
Keep in mind, he was never intended to be a character who stared in his own monthly book, but Jeph Loeb and Steve Skroce tapped into that magic lighting that is so hard to catch in a bottle and fan response was so huge that there was no choice but to launch him in his own title. I don’t think the character of Nate Grey as he exists could sustain an ongoing. I think fans would be thrilled to see appearances by him, but I also believe that the name “X-Man” is one of the coolest titles for a book ever, so who knows.
Odds of seeing a new starring project in the next 2 years:
JQ: 10%

Nate Grey would be kick-ass to arrive back and notice all the M-Day problems.

M-Day and Wanda's magics could prove to be the catalyst for his return. In addition to depowering all the mutants, M-Day woke up Vulcan, created the Collective sort of, returned Black Tom Cassidy to a humanoid form. Who knows what else?
I'd like to see X-Man return, but I understand where Joe's coming from. Peter Parker was bitten by a radioactive spider. Iron Man built a suit to keep himself alive. Cyclops, Angel, Iceman, Wolverine, etc. are all mutants born with extraordinary abilities. X-Man comes from an alternate reality where everything was upside down, and in a fight with Holocaust the son of Apocalypse from that alternate reality he stabbed Holocaust with a piece of the M'Kraan crystal which stranded them in the 616 reality.
Which of those origins is the hardest to digest?
Were they to bring him back, I wouldn't want him in his own series, but perhaps a cast member of one of the X-Men series, or a regular somewhere else.
