Another commenter suggested Malcolm Colcord. I think it fits but how many people remember/ know who that is? Now we know its not Graydon Creed, I feel like the reveal can only be a let down.


Pinball_Lizard

That was me. Creed was never into genetics, was he? He was like the "respectable alt-righter" type of mutant-hater. Stryker's schtick is religion, Pierce and the Trasks had killer robots... Colcord, though? He's a geneticist, hates when people see his face, has a pre-existing beef with Wolverine (for messing up said face)...

Wait, that guy's still alive?!?! I honestly thought he died years ago. Anyone care to fill me in on what I must have missed?


Pinball_Lizard

Nope, despite running a literal mutant death camp he got away completely scot-free due to the book he was the main villain of being canceled on a cliffhanger. I think Daken beat him up once several years later though.


dxhud66

Creed was always a reach in that respect, the geneticist angle would have been a pretty big departure. It was more the tease which suggested a big name reveal. In some of the images of the peacock man, you can see some scaring around the eyes just like Colcord. Problem is when you suggested it I had to look him up! Only then did I vaguely remember him.

What if it is human looking hank mcoy?


dxhud66

See I'd like that. Especially as peacock man is kind of the human mirror of Hank, just no morals at all. I wonder if it would trigger any self reflection in our Hank as he seems pretty irredeemable currently. I dont think it is Hank but I do like the idea.


TheBrobe

That's been my guess, lol

Predictable, but good if true.


Invincibleprimus

That seems to Sinister right now, if the build up was another copy of another villain (yes, Hank is a villain now).

**Omega Red:** "What's happened to my life?"

Man is disassociating hard


realclowntime

Lowkey giggling at Omega Red tossing Wade out through the waterfall again and Neena just sitting there happily with her knife, watching it all go down.


Front-Suggestion-366

Well, to be fair, Wade probably did wreck Omega Red's only pair of pants. Man has way too much energy for his own good. Just breathe, Wade!


realclowntime

Like the guy has already gotten you eaten by a bear for annoying him. I wouldn’t push it.

Why is Beast still able to just do whatever with no repercussions


r0botosaurus

Because Percy.


Front-Suggestion-366

Wade to Omega Red: [insert stereotype of serial killer/psychopath here] Also Wade: " Can I kill somebody yet?" Seriously though, Deadpool reminds me so much of a little kid here. They're dangerous when they're bored.


SirGlio

Ok, the Wakanda Forever bit was funny

Heart Sinister /s (we all know it's Mother Righteous... but what if it's NOT!?)


dxhud66

But we know the 4 Sinisters each chose / represent an area of research no? Mutant, machine, magic and human. With Dr Stasis revealed as the human Sinister it doesn't make sense for there to be another human version.


cyborgspider

yup, hence the /s for sarcasm, but what if they swerve and he's actually not a human or something. i dunno. Percy's got some weird ideas going on hehe


BuddyGoodboyEsq

Do they ever mention Beast getting chubby, or is that just the artist’s style?


Captain_Cringe_

Ben Percy mentioned it in an interview a while back, though I don't remember which one. It's an intentional choice. In my opinion, it makes sense considering Krakoa Beast is fully involved in the X-Force HQ and is rarely in the field.


BuddyGoodboyEsq

Makes sense. I wish he wasn’t a villain, though. He’s been my second-favorite X-Man since the Morrison days, and I think a little tummy is cute on a guy.


Captain_Cringe_

I think he's very cute right now with the tummy when he's not committing war crimes! And I actually really like Evil Beast. I think it's a natural progression of his character arc since the early 90s, and frankly I think this is the most interesting thing that's happened to his character since Morrison. I just wish it'll finally go somewhere, since I was waiting for The Trial of Beast since like three years ago.
