Uncanny X-men #4
* okay, so in the last issue, after Cyclops and his X-men humiliated the Avengers by putting them in a time bubble (courtesy of Eva/Tempus), they came back to their base, Magneto revealed his fake betrayal to the S.H.I.E.L.D and they proceeded to visit Wolverine's dumb school...
* this particular event happens simultaneously with All New X-men #10 when Cyclops arrived and talks with the school members (you'll get the picture)... but the story focuses on a different perspective while the confrontation was going on...
* the Stepford Cuckoos "greeted their mom"...

* the Cuckoos took their grudge in the astral plane, and obviously, Emma cannot counter-attack but she managed to let them see her memories in the time of AvX when the power-hungry Phoenix-influenced Cyclops took her portion of the PF and "left her for dead"...
* now, this may seem to make Cyclops in a very bad light (because it never told what further urged Cyclops to do that, i.e. Emma had a psychic affair with Namor), but as the context goes, Emma's intention was to explain to her "daughters" why she went MIA in that particular time...
* so it's only logical that the Cuckoos kinda forgave Emma because of this revelation...

* meanwhile, at Cyclops' homebase, the newbies are like mice playing while the cats are away...
http://imageshack.us/a/img843/540/ux3lj.jpg
* back to Emma and the Cuckoos, they talked about the time-displaced O5 X-men... they are just there to mess with Cyclops' mind (wow, that's Beast's plan? ridiculous!) but they're still around...
* then the Cuckoos proceeded to belittle to capabilities of Jean and it's only logical since Jean, at this point, is basically a newbie to her powers as she had only just unknowingly unlocked her telepathy recently... the Cuckoos revealed that they were reading Jean's mind without her noticing it... surprisingly, Emma told them not to do that...
* but since it already got underway, Emma asked what Jean was thinking, and the Cuckoos revealed that she was thinking about her love for O5 Scott (awww, how sweet!)...

* in All New X-men #10, we learned that after Cyclops offered Wolverine's team to go with his, they teleported away to let them think and ponder, and teleported back again...
* now this is what happened when they teleported from Wolverine's base back to theirs...
* what a mess! of all the rooms these teens tried to mess with, it's the Danger Room!
http://imageshack.us/a/img507/1363/ux5m.jpg
* so after that, Cyclops calmly explained to these kids that no one should ever know that they are there (because Cyclops and his team are branded as fugitives)... and they are dumbfounded that the Danger Room holograms are not real... they even thought Magik teleported them to another place...
* and speaking of Magik, this is her shining moment... in the previous episodes, we learned that she doesn't have any glitches in her mutant abilities and she even claimed to be more powerful than before, but now, everything's catching up to her...
http://imageshack.us/a/img12/9788/ux6h.jpg
* another shining moment was the conversation of Benjamin (the shapeshifter) and Tempus... as a fan of Captain America, you should really feel bad that you just put your idol into a time bubble...
* another issue was about the honesty of their teachers and trusting a man like Cyclops... okay, i might be biased here but, if i will choose a team led by Cyclops, Captain America/Havok (Uncanny Avengers) and Wolverine, i'd pick team Cyclops (well, this is post-AvX of course! when Cap revealed how much of a douche he really is), or go for Reed Richards' Fantastic Four... 😛
* to put it up plainly, Wolverine's school is dumb... i get it that Logan cares for the kids, doesn't want them to get hurt, doesn't want them to fight, doesn't want them to kill... oh my goodness, Wolverine just opened a freakin' kiddie playschool! it's like teaching your kids that Santa Claus exists...
* on the otherhand, Cyclops wants to train these kids to be adapted to the real world where humans hate them, fear them but because of their vision, they will still save and protect them... a very noble cause... although i do agree that if until now, Cyclops doesn't fully disclose the entire scenario to these kids, that's bullcrap... he should have told everything from the very start... but come to think of it, what is left for Cyclops to tell?
http://imageshack.us/a/img442/1985/ux7t.jpg
* the defection from All New X-men #10 was revealed! the member from Wolverine's team who went with Cyclops' is none other than (drumroll, please) ---
http://imageshack.us/a/img90/689/ux8e.jpg
* yeah, O5 Angel... big deal... 😛
* i was hoping it would be Jean... or it could be more than one, at least (besides the Cuckoos)... until the celebration was cut short by Magik's screams of agony? pain? i don't really know... but it should be noted that if this persists, Cyclops' team really needs another teleporter for backup...
* so two members from Wolverine's team (if you count the Cuckoos as one) defected... i hope there's more...

* lol... 👆 he's on almost every comic and on every d@mn team... Fantastic Four? done it... Alpha Flight? X-men? Avengers? Uncanny Avengers? that midget is omnipresent! maybe "ubiquity" is one of his mutant powers... hey, how about Wolverine joining the Defenders? Guardians of the Galaxy? hell, i was surprised he was not given one of the Infinity Gems... 😛

Uncanny X-men #5
* our main guy's the topic of S.H.I.E.L.D... they actually looked at Scott's "speech" (when Tempus put the Avengers in a time bubble) much more of a threat than a rally for peace and unity (in my opinion)... just because the X-men humiliated the Avengers, yeah they clearly humiliated them in front of national TV, so the Avengers does not want to talk about it... go ahead, you pompous team of overrated schmucks, say "no comment"... 😂
* well, they replayed what Scott had said... and they just didn't get it... well, here you go ---
http://s2.postimg.org/5jejatz95/image.jpg
*and just like what nwg202 had posted earlier, it was revealed that Dormammu was behind Magik's outbursts... and this was Magik storytelling to Scott what is happening to her...
http://s8.postimg.org/u79v5c5mt/image.jpg
* the reason for this was, because like the other members of the Phoenix Five, Magik's mutant powers are also broken and by using this broken power, it's "ripping my world apart" as per Dormammu...
http://s10.postimg.org/8jkof92qh/image.jpg
* so as Dormammu went about to play god and bully Magik in Limbo, she says Dormammu forced her to reveal her darker side... Darkchilde...
http://s13.postimg.org/6m4xrxx2f/image.jpg
* now, while i don't know the real capabilities of this Darkchilde persona of hers, i really think this is a waaaayy hotter art by David Finch ---
http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/a/a2/XMENINFR001_COV_COLv2.jpg
* apparently, this Darkchilde is stronger and a more powerful version of Magik, much like a normal Son Goku who just turned SSJ1... and this was actually a recap, it already happened... Magik told Scott that in that encounter, she managed to somehow make Dormammu retreat...
http://s2.postimg.org/kr8b0ev95/image.jpg
* the rest of the team hears another scream and outbursts from Magik... the newbies are clearly startled and terrified, but the Cuckoos are still cold...
http://s23.postimg.org/66btyjhiz/image.jpg
* on the other hand, O5 Angel has a chance to talk to Magneto which seems awkward since the Magneto in his time is a villain...
http://s23.postimg.org/g51dyrgcb/image.jpg
* now, Triage (Christopher Muse) tried to make pass to (maybe one of) the Cuckoos, they act as one, they think as one and weirdly so, speak as one... they just ditched Triage and revealed they made him forget what he's about to say since they know that he's thinking about them... and even threatened to make Triage forget his sex... now, what the hell is that? telepaths can force you to be a homosexual by making you forget your sex? how cruel... how i wish the Stepford Cuckoos would have a lovelife...
* and speaking of lovelife, Tempus reveals her new admiration to Emma... and it's none other than Scott Summers! and she's not even a telepath, can you believe that? Tempus says Scott is a beautiful man... so she just moved on from her crush for Captain America onto Cyclops... and the funny thing was, it just made Emma frown... hell yeah! be jealous, Emma, and maybe soon you'll realize that Cyclops is the man... 😛
http://s24.postimg.org/dws9ejfk5/image.jpg
* surprisingly, Magik just teleported the whole team to Limbo... but she claims she did not do it... maybe next episode we'll Dormammu's payback...
http://s10.postimg.org/ikypg1ul5/image.jpg
* fresh from jumping fences, O5 Angel is about to have the first battle of his life... and how will the team fare against Dormammu, not to mention the battlefield is Limbo, Dormammu's in a homecourt advantage... sh!t is about to happen next...
All New X-men #11
http://s21.postimg.org/ghbqklpef/image.jpg
* see? the cover was better without a hairy midget... 😛 anyway, as we already know, Uncanny X-men #4 spoiled which of the O5 defected to Cyclops' team, so maybe this cover is just for those who collect and read All New X-men exclusively?
* so for the continuation from the previous issue, O5 Angel switched sides, and it's actually not even shocking since in the earlier issues, O5 Angel is consistent that he does not want to be in the present time, he wants to go back to the past, their real time... but the second time he tried to voice out, he gets mind-raped by Jean... so this time, his opinion should be heard...
http://s3.postimg.org/bi4zdydhf/image.jpg
* and Jean - again - tries to manipulate O5 Angel's mind, telling him to go back to the house... she does not want him to go, she does not want her team to break up, but O5 Angel is firm with his decision...
* funny, i remembered Bobby telling Scott (post-Schism) that before - they were the Beatles... and they are, but who's Yoko Ono now? this douchebag Beast who convinced them that the Cyclops in the current timeline will commit a mutant genocide, which is a complete lie...
http://s23.postimg.org/nzbmv21uz/image.jpg
* now, when Jean goes on a telekinetic rampage, in cometh the Cuckoos who stopped "the great" Jean Grey... a very satisfying scene since Jean really needs to be taught a lesson on mental ethics...
http://s24.postimg.org/kado6uayd/image.jpg
* after the dust had settled, O5 Angel - still firm with his decision, finally goes with Team Cyclops...
http://s22.postimg.org/josu53obl/image.jpg
* well, Beast, this - all of this - is on you, you sick freak... and i don't get why they (Wolverine's team members) can't just blame Beast for what he did... this is all his fault, obviously... and now, he cannot send the O5 back since they are now already O4... and that would "seriously jeopardize" the time and space continuum...
* but hey, they are more comfortable putting the blame on Scott when he's obviously under the influence of the Phoenix Force... fair?
http://s23.postimg.org/ikc3lkp2j/image.jpg
* meanwhile, Mystique continues her crime spree, using Lady Mastermind to make the others believe that the culprits are Wolverine and the O5... and this time, she became bolder and bolder to the point that she actually tries to mess up Stark Industries, and even manipulating one of the personnels to call S.H.I.E.L.D so that S.H.I.E.L.D can call the Avengers for that matter...
http://s7.postimg.org/ykr0geixn/image.jpg
* Jean and Kitty talked... and it's a breather that somehow, someway, Jean realized her mistakes and promised never to do that again... and Kitty also talked her into apologizing to her teammates because they are scared of her... well, who wouldn't be? i remember Gray Hulk wanting to fight and dispose her first because she has powers "he cannot see"...
* and going back to sub-plots, they picked up from All New X-men #9 where Jean read Scott's mind about his "conversation" with Mystique... at that point, i was really sure that if there is someone who would switch to Cyclops' Team, it would be O5 Scott since he is clearly out-of-place in Wolverine's kiddie school...
http://s22.postimg.org/srlwpvdgh/image.jpg
http://s24.postimg.org/fb36vlo8l/image.jpg
* and now, because of Mystique, another team pays a visits to the kiddie school... we got Havok, Cap, Wanda, Rogue and Thor --- the Uncanny Avengers!
* and we get to have a glimpse on a pissed off Cap - a Cap who thinks he's still a big shot just like when he shows up in Utopia demanding, no --- telling Cyclops to hand over Hope Summers like he was some kind of a cranky boss of the company... well, here he is again, telling the X-men to come out with their hands up like a crooked cop dressed in American flag... and Havok, who is the supposed leader of this team, just grunts in anger without saying a word...
* well, i hope i'm wrong... or maybe, the Uncanny Avengers caught up with Mystique and Lady Mastermind in Stark's location, we don't know... who is Cap talking to?
http://s21.postimg.org/ge0r6oudz/image.jpg
* until next time... 🙂
She just stomped on Dormy and a lot of other heavy hitters and she's ruled this realm since she was in diapers, why would she need Thor's help in her own realm? What demon pet of hers would require a double team of Queen of Limbo and the God of Thunder? Cool team up though....Bendis will probably depower her after the Darkcihlde arc..

* after AvX, the Phoenix Five have experienced "glitches" in the mutant powers, the official term they gave was that their powers are "broken"...
