Absolute yes on Synch. I want his Krakoa era X-Men uniform but I assume his Gen X uniform will be the one we get given Chamber and Monet.
Oculus has a cool look.
Synch has stood the test of time as one of the most important Gen X members. Gotta have him.
I thought Synch was dead for most of that test of time. Didn't they JUST bring him back in the Krakoa age? I thought he's been dead since M-Day or something.
Correct. He's had a major role on Krakoa, though. Monet and Jubilee have definitely been more prominent than him, but I don't think anyone else is even competing for third.
I would think that maybe Chamber would have been third.Synch has stood the test of time as one of the most important Gen X members. Gotta have him.

Instead of a milestone for Day #900, I thought I'd climb on my soapbox for something equally as important -
WHERE IS FERAL?
Feral just happens to be today's Archive Day character. So, I thought to myself - Beamish? How can you make this work? How about spotlighting the Callasantos sisters?
Day #900 - Thornn, plus Feral (Archive Day #221)
Feral in her original look to finally complete X-Force please! And then I'd gladly take an Thornn in yellow/first outfit.
Yes to both, especially in their classic costumes. <3 I NEED Thornn, and we ALL NEED Feral!
Pass on both today. I'd say I'd get Feral, but I missed out on the X-Force 3-pack and so am also missing Dimono, Rictor, and Cannonball with legs. So even if I'd get Feral, my team would still be incomplete. So no point.
Yes to both.
Feral is needed to complete classic X-Force, and a to develop the MLF.
Thornn seems like she could be done with an almost straight reuse of Tigra, so why not?
@thor-el I'm still salty about that DisneyStore fiasco with the X-Force set too. They really need to reissue that, or at the very least get Rictor and Domino back out there.
Anyway, yes to Thornn and Feral
I would be interested in both in their classic looks.
Yes, yes, YES for Feral to complete X-Force and her sister Thornn too. They would both be very welcome on my shelf
But I have to ask if their last name isn't a tad bit like the Cho Chang issue in Harry Potter. A name used to sound vaguely cultural without actually being a real name that anyone in the world has and thus maybe actually being culturally insensitive?
IDK - Calla - means "shut up" in spanish. It doesn't have another use that I can find. Santos, obviously means "Saints" - so Callasantos as a name means " Shut Up Saints" which isn't typically the kind of thing hispanic people would take as a name - religiously disrespectful and what not.
So maybe it is an intentional name meant to evoke the sisters' aggressive, "unsaintly" behavior?
I believe Fabian Nicieza was the scripter and co-plotter on the books at the time Feral was invented and I'm pretty sure he speaks Spanish (he was born in Argentina) - so he would know what the words in the name mean and would likely know it isn't a common surname in spanish and latin culture... so I'm going to go with intentional and not a JKR insensitivity issue
But, it's so close to Castellanos - which is a not-uncommon surname that literally means "Spanish" that I did wonder if it was maybe just a mistake or trying to cleverly rearrange some letters...
No interest in today's choices. Feral in the original X-Force costume is a must, but I am not collecting that team so a pass for me. Don't know Thornn, and while the look is cool enough, just seems like a she is a Tigra wannabe.
My X-Force can exist without Feral, and before this post, I didn’t know Thornn existed at all.
Feral is a yes. Thornn, I really don't need but would probably buy anyway.
I missed Synch day but yes to him in Generation X and Krakoan X-Men looks.
