Xavier Files: Hellion

March 24, 2017 by krisis

Back in February, fellow X-Men-obsessed blogger Xavier Files threw down a challenging gauntlet of an X-Men quiz on Twitter:

— Xavier Files (@XavierFiles) February 22, 2017

Let me tell you: these questions are some stumpers. I’m a tremendously large X-Men buff with a ridiculous mastery of mutant trivia, but my knowledge pales in comparison to folks like Xavier Files blogger Matt or Jay & Miles (which is fair, seeing as it’s their job to explain the X-Men).

Still, I’m always up for a challenge, so I spent a few minutes thinking, jotted down my answers, and threw my hat into the ring. And, lo and behold, I was the person with the most correct answers! I got a staggering six right, although I contest that the phrasing of one of them probably should have earned me a seventh point ;)

Nonetheless, to the victor goes the spoils – in this case, my choice of an X-character for Xavier Files to profile! I wracked my brain for my favorite B- and C-list X-Men who had histories worthy of a lengthy write-up highlighting their best stories.

Despite very nearly picking erstwhile Nightcrawler lover Cerise and hijab-wearing Muslim mutant Dust, I picked a young mutant who has been through a surprising amount of plot twists in the past decade – from young upstart to romantic lead to walking wounded to ne’er-do-well student.

That mutant is Hellion, and now you can learn all about him at Xavier Files! Once you’ve caught up, head to the Guide to New Mutants & Young X-Men to start reading.

Oh, did you want the answers to those trivia questions?

Click to expand the answers.

  1. Any two of Graydon Creed, Abyss, Kiwi Black, and Stefan Szardos. (I didn’t get this one – I could only think of the first brother).
  2. Five (I also missed this one; most of these cartoons are after my time!)
  3. Avengers Annual #10
  4. Sarah Grey (This one was tricky; Sarah was a short-lived Claremont suggestion for the title and was soon replaced in the pitch by Dazzler, which was my answer.)
  5. Lee Forester
  6. Colossus
  7. Deadgirl
  8. Angel (This was the question with tricky wording – I took it to mean the first X-Men who was a legacy character of another X-Man. However, Marvel previously had a Golden Age character named Angel, so X-Men’s Angel was actually the group’s first legacy character).
  9. The Brotherhood
  10. Age of Apocalypse (I almost got this one wrong, but quickly amended my answer after my initial submission when the answer suddenly popped into my head.)
