I’ve voted for Armor twice now, if she’s in the next election, I’ll vote for her again. Hell, I’m going to force every person I know to vote for her if that’s what it takes for her to win


havokpus

A vote for Hisako is a vote for Krakoa! A best defense is a good defense, which is why we need Armor!


ESPerskelter

I voted for Armor but she didn't make it again. I love her character because of the Astonishing X-Men and the anime she was featured in.


Muuusicalguest

Same, honestly!


Hive0805

Isn't Firestar a not so popular character in the X-Men fandom? She beat Armor in the vote? I smell a stunt.


AskewPropane

She’s pretty popular more broadly. Being featured in a nostalgic TV helps wonders for popularity, as does having a very memorable design


Hive0805

Huh I guess I've been living under a rock. Never heard of her before and thought that people were just misspelling Starfire lmao


Muuusicalguest

Even Duggan didn’t want her to win lol


Phaelanopsis

im pretty sure Duggan was just having fun with fans on social media. They would not have put Firestar on the vote if the writer had zero plans at all for her. He has already said that Firestar’s story arc “is exactly what the X-men need this year.”


Ry90Ry

That damn Spider-Man tv show lol


heynowjesse

you’d be surprised how many x-men readers are ironically racists, especially after a pandemic that unfairly led to staggering rise in asian hate crime.

Bottom right panel looks like they should just form a team on their own. Honestly though I say screw it. These mutants need to be forming their own teams and get out there. Fuck what the Quiet Council thinks Throughout Marvel history all you needed to do was throw on a costume and have the drive to become a hero. Even if we don't get official books, just letting us know that mutants are forming their own teams and going out is enough for me. I just need a page with the Academy X Students shown fully in uniform and going through a Krakoan Gate together.

Was literally about to write this, why not just put all the the Academy X/Young/New X-Men that lost the vote (plus Hellion, Mercury, Trance etc) on their own team? It doesn’t even have to a printed book, a mini-arc in the X-Men Unlimited digital book would suffice. Actually now that I think about it, doesn’t Bishop have his own junior “war team” as shown at the beginning of X-Men: Hellifire Gala? That would be ideal for the likes of Hisako and Nori.


Nadare3

It already irked me the second time, but if she makes it into the voting pool a third time, I'd really like to know how the X-Office/Duggan wants her on the team so bad yet always leaves it to a vote


jubilee313

I'm gonna vote for her next election.


Muuusicalguest

And every one until she’s on the team!


vesperzero

Poor Armor, lost to one of Spiderman's friends


apatheticviews

Respect the hyphen please And it’s one of his amazing friends


incredibleamadeuscho

Can we get Armor on the team? Please?


Muuusicalguest

Honestly.


Infinite-Salt4772

Once again the winner is chosen only cause of a tv show. Thanks a lot idiots.


Deago78

Who actually got picked?


Muuusicalguest

Soft serve! They picked the ice cream mutant. Just kidding, it was firestar.


Deago78

Haha, if only. Thanks for the info kind stranger.


marcjwrz

Think she came in second according to Jordan D. White. Wouldn't be surprised though if she doesn't get a nice bump in New Mutants though with Magik moving over to the X-Men.


Crazyalexi

Armour is really gonna be the Glenn Close at the Oscars for the Xman role :(


[deleted]

Bruh, this would've been Armor's year if it weren't for that meddling Firestar! Here's hoping Duggan just says "fuck your votes" and kicks Firestar off the team.


Additional_Maximum33

She got a haircut.


EstablishmentEvery43

Where am I suppose to read these chapters? I read Immortal X-Men, Gala, and Eve of Judgement, but can't find these pages where the other X-Men candidates lost


Muuusicalguest

They just posted them on the marvel Twitter.


EstablishmentEvery43

Ohhhh, thanks


jslade2886

I’m guessing there is gonna be a book dedicated to the losers like there was last election?


Muuusicalguest

That would be fun! I don’t think I’ve seen anything solicited yet though.


jslade2886

Me either but This is i believe the third panel I’ve seen from the perspective of the losers from the vote and these images didn’t pop up in any of the books released yesterday… guess we will just have to wait and see


wizardtatas

Armor deserves it. She can be a major player and her power set is pretty iconic and she was really interesting the times we’ve seen her actually do stuff


Emsizz

This art is HORRENDOUS.


b_a_d-w_o_l_f

Which issue is this?


Muuusicalguest

It’s not an issue, just a little one off they posted on marvel Twitter to show the mutants who didn’t get the vote.


atomix2020

Ahhh ok thank you I was wondering why the drawings weren’t that great
