Enough is Enough!

Anyways, folks, I’m Uncanny X-Factor! My panel’s supposed to be tomorrow, but I won’t be on. I will be doing a charity walk a few towns over, and it will take the entire day. So, better early than never, here’s my panel! We will today be focusing on my version of What If, known as Volume X.

First, allow me to ask you some questions. What If:

*Cyclops and Apocalypse switched bodies?

*Mystique formed the X-Men?

*Reed Richards was Nova?

*Wolverine joined the X-Men as the Punisher?

*Luke Cage was worthy?

*Iron Fist travelled to Tibet?

Well, of course you know the answer to the first one. Superhumans are all but extinct as Beast, Cable, Kang, Archangel, Storm, Spider-Woman, Vision, and Photon become the last hope for humanity. But to answer your (my) other questions, in order: Phoenix and Cyclops lead the Brotherhood, Nova’s closest allies pay the ultimate price, the Punisher becomes a mindless agent of destruction, hired heroes go to war with mercenaries, and Iron Fist becomes the Sorcerer Supreme. Don’t worry, those aren’t spoilers. We’ll get there. ;)

This will be a long-running series. It was born of my long-installed love for What Ifs, and the Multiverse as a whole. Thus it brings me great pleasure to bring these ideas to life in my favorite way. Though they take a long time to write, and it may be slow-going, I will keep at it. I also may jump the order to do whatever I have the most inspiration for at any given time. The series will have guest-writers of such a caliber as Rinilya44, ElectricMayhem, Cartoon44, Bridgetterocks, Great Lord David, and Draft227. It is my pleasure to say that this is not a community project. It’s all mine, and these fine folks were hand-selected by me. Want to write an issue? Talk to me, I’ll very likely let you. :)

To conclude, here’s a brief passage from one of my favorites:

STORM: Mr. Xavier. I have found you at last.

CHARLES: Do I know you, child?

STORM: I am afraid so. I once stole a wallet from you in Cairo. I…I am sorry. I never apologized for it.

CHARLES: It was only money, Ms. Munroe. You have no need to apologize.

STORM: That’s not the only reason I came here.

<p class="MsoNormal">CHARLES: What troubles you?

<p class="MsoNormal">STORM: I need your help. There is a monster threatening my land. He calls himself the Shadow King, and he is more powerful than ever.

<p class="MsoNormal">CHARLES: I’m afraid I cannot help you, child.

<p class="MsoNormal">STORM: Why not?

<p class="MsoNormal">CHARLES: I faced the Shadow King once, not long after I met you as a child. He is the reason I sit in this chair. He is too powerful for me to help you.

<p class="MsoNormal">STORM: I cannot face him alone. I need fighters.

<p class="MsoNormal">CHARLES: You don’t need fighters, child. You need power. You need my daughter. (turns and shouts) Jean!

<p class="MsoNormal">(A redheaded young girl comes running around the corner.)

<p class="MsoNormal">JEAN: What’s going on, Dad?

<p class="MsoNormal">!Fin!

<p class="MsoNormal">That’s all for now, can you figure out which it is? Should be easy!

<p class="MsoNormal">Is that everything? I guess it is! Thanks for reading, and stay tuned for more! I’ve yet one more panel to share! <ac_metadata title="Man, What If?!?!?! (What If Vol X FanonCon 2015)" notify_everyone="1431738584"> </ac_metadata>
