The Blue Regenesis Team: Revealed

The Blue Team are the X-Men who are staying loyal to Cyclops, and as such are remaining in San Francisco. Here are the rosters:

Generation Hope’s Roster: Hope Summers, Velocidad, Primal, Zero, Transonic and Sebastian Shaw

The cast of Generation Hope trades one character for another, as Idie leaves to join Wolverine but Sebastian Shaw turns up as a new mentor. The rest of the cast from Generation Hope - the speedster, instinctive guy, mermaid and cyber-biological arm thingy lad are all staying on, mentored by Hope Summers. Sebastian Shaw's arrival on the book is really strange, especailyl as we last saw him beating Emma Frost up during Kieron Gillen's Uncanny X-Men run. He's been pitched recently as being the third side of teh Magneto/Xavier triangle of ideaology, though, so maybe this will be his time to shine. New creative team James Asmus and Ibraim Roberson have a lot of explaining to do…


X-Men’s Roster: Jubilee, Warpath, Psylocke, Domino and Storm

Victor Gischler assembles the most diverse team of the bunch, with several character returning for the first time in quite a while. Jubilee remains a core character in the book, but the most interesting additions are Psylocke and Storm. Psylocke seems to be pulling double-duty somehow, while Storm’s willing involvement with these questionable and morally-dubious characters seems very odd indeed. Warpath and Domino return after skipping out from the X-Men after Kyle/Yost's run on X-Force ended.


Uncanny X-Men’s Roster: Cyclops, Emma Frost, Colossus, Danger, Magneto, Magik

Magik leaves the New Mutants and joins her brother’s side. Her brother, who, as a side-note, is now the new Juggernaut or something. Cyclops survives Schism, it appears, and Emma stays by his side. Kieron Gillen has stated that his team are the most powerful X-Men line-up ever assembled – and there are still three characters on the team who haven’t been revealed yet. We’re hoping for Pixie and Dazzler, because we always hope for Pixie and Dazzler. Formerly evil robots Danger and Magneto are on the team too, because why not I suppose. Somebody must presumably find them interesting, right?


New Mutants’ Roster: Dani Moonstar, Doug Ramsey, Warlock, Sunspot, Magma, X-Man

Cannonball continues to be missing after Chris Yost apparently murdered him during the “First to Last” storyline. Where’s the closure??

Anyway, the New Mutants team doesn’t change much after Regenesis, it appears. Magik leaving is the only change here. Karma is still absent, and X-Man is still present. Writers Abnett and Lanning are going to continue their “tying up loose ends” theme over the next few months by turning their attention towards Blink. Blink last showed up in Necrosha, brainwashed and evil. She was ‘cleansed’ at the end of that story, but then went AWOL. It looks like it’ll be business as usual for the New Mutants as they go to try and find her.
