Eosimias (comics)

Where was this character revealed to be powered and living at the school? I keep seeing him (?) listed in various articles as powered and residing at the school. Granted, I've stopped reading New X-Men, but have not heard anything about this character recently. Breakaway 07:17, 31 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Non-existent New X-Men characters

After checking through New X-Men #24 over and over, I did NOT see characters E-Shock, Jet Storm, and Time Master appear in it. M.Factor 04:37, 24 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Mike Marts Confirmation

Where did Mike Marts confirm all of those mutants to be depowered? M.Factor 04:37, 24 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Pending some form of citation or confirmation, I've removed both sets of information being questioned by M.Factor. The Mike Marts chart particularly smacks of being based on a private conversation (e.g. "Mike Marts told me at a convention...") rather than a verifiable source. If an editor can confirm these bits of information, revert or pull from the July 24 edit I've made -Markeer 15:32, 24 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Wolverine

Just changing the Wolverine comic link from the wolverine animal link to the Wolverine comic link. Whispering 21:26, 18 November 2005 (UTC) disambiguation link repair (You can help!)[reply]

-- I don't think Alexander Lexington should be included here. The Sentinel Squad ONE series is set before the group's first appearance, which was in a comic set on M-Day. As this book is about the team's formation and training it would be before M-Day, so Lex would still have his powers. I'm not sure if Meld has shown up post-M-Day or not.

Isn't Mr. Immortal Homo-Supreme and not Homo-Superior? Isn't Doorman actually deceased but re-incarnated as an agent of Oblivion with powers granted by Oblivion? Aren't Cloak and Dagger only mutants in a lame retcon that nobody pays attention to, kind of like Doc Ock at the gamma bomb site?

WHO SCREWED UP THIS PAGE!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

A response and a problem

First of all, noone screwed it up, this is taken from a official Marvel list.

Second, I have noticed that on every page that the House of M, M-Day, or Decimation are mention a differnt pecentage of mutants losing their powers is used, is there one official number that should be being used on all of them?

Yes, the number of mutants left is 198.

Would it be possible to add in a reading order?

Or perhaps a publication order (this one I can do myself). I've searched long and hard checking if there is an order I'm supposed to go in.. Nothing. The marvel site is really a piece of trash, so it's not bee much help.

Also, I added the X-Factor 1-4 in the Decimation line, as it was missing.

32 16 or 8 million?

Quoting from the article:

the number has been referred to as "symbolic" rather than actual. Numbers for pre-Decimation mutants vary from "over a million" (House of M #8) to 16 million (New X-Men #115, where it is said that the 16 million mutants who died on Genosha was around "half" the mutant population)

But if 16 million is "half" the mutant population, then the mutant population is 32 million. Alternately, only 8 million died in on Genosha. If someone who has the source could confirm, that would be great. — vijay (Talk) 21:47, 5 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Around 16 million died on Genosha, leaving (around) 16 million left. Numbers not precise. - SoM 02:42, 8 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

This is stating the obvious, but there's a lot of bad math concerning the entire matter. At least the Professor X article states that 91.4 % of the mutants were depowered; so if 198 represents 8.6 % of the original mutant population, there were only 2,302 to begin with. Elswhere I've seen a figure of 98 %, which would still put the original count just below 10,000. When in fact narrowing an original of 16 million (based on above statements, I haven't read the particular stories myself) down to 198 would mean a 99.9988 % decrease in numbers. Many people think 1 % a smaller unit than it really is – especially when dealing with large numbers – and this seems to include comicbook writers. --Anshelm '77 00:20, 18 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

198 listing and the Stepford Cuckoos

Shouldn't Celeste, Mindee and Phoebe be listed as three seperate mutants as opposed to a part of a collective group and a singular member of the 198? Didn't change it of my own accord in case I'm wrong in some strange way...

198 Questions Some of these characters have not been confirmed as far as I remember. Emplate and a couple of others have not been seen as either powered or depowered. I also think that the Three-in-One and Collective Man do count as one mutant since they were that way in the files.

What a mess....

This article is a mess- especialy the 198 list! Where have Eosimias, Gregor Smyrdiakov, or "the SHIELD Psi-Agents" reappear? There are no sources! Can we organize this like depowered list?-Merlin Storm

It needs to be mostly deleted because it's inaccurate and uncited. --Chris Griswold 00:15, 9 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

198 List

In one week, I will begin to delete uncited characters in the 198 list. --Chris Griswold 07:56, 12 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Now lets see- Skids and Indra were confirmed in Blood of Apocalypse(XM) part 1and Childhoods End(NXM) part1, Madame Web was confimed in Feral(ASM) part 4, Negasonic was in Torn(AXM) part1, and....that's all I know. Anyone have more info?
