X-Men - Genosha Reborn (Preview)

That last Jean Grey fic really got my imagination going with the X-Men. For unrelated reasons too I have been going through all by back issues and reading what I have. So my mind has been flooded with X-Men and related possibilities. There's not much in the way of material with regards to Marvel characters. I think I remember hearing back when I found these type of stories elsewhere that they did not take kindly to it. I can see both why and also tell them it's also a good thing but it's not my problem. These are their characters and in my own humble opinion this is way better then anything Fox could do lol.

So my mind went to the X-Men as I was writing Mary Marvel. Strange jump but it's true. The Mary fic is still be worked on but this has sprung quite easily from my mind. It's a ways off completion yet but there's enough for a preview.

The X-Men get wind of a plot in the rapidly expanding country of Genosha. A country and history known to many in the mutant world. First shown as a paradise then revealed to be a state that enslaved mutants. Civil war and finally a safe haven for mutants before millions died by a rogue Sentinel attack. Now rebuilding, old forces and new faces seek to bring Genosha back to what they think is the roots.

Jean Grey - Desires.

Recently returned from the dead. Jean discovered the three men in her life she cared for the most are all gone. An extended family of X-Men and time with her daughter Rachel leave her feeling the need for more. Or just wanting to feel. An alien in distress catches her attention and a run in with her old friends the Crimson Pirates and their employer the big blue Tullamore Voge. The slave lord shows her that there is more to life then duty and death.

Enjoy and as always feel free to leave a comment.

Jean Grey - Desires (Preview)

I have always wanted to write a fic on Jean Grey(Phoenix). Ever since I came across the character as a kid watching the old X-Men 90's cartoon. The Phoenix Saga was my introduction to the X-Men. Ever since for me it's the X-Men as the premier choice in Marvel. All other properties in the Marvel universe are nowhere near as interesting to me. I write a lot about DC's characters because I am more of a DC fan. I feel their stories are superior and have been for sometime and they have done a much better over the years making their heroines appear powerful and capable. Marvel in my eyes not so much. I like my heroines powerful before they are taken down so I go towards Wonder Woman, Supergirl and the like.

Jean is a whole other story. Powerful, intelligent sexy redhead. The costume and everything just hooked me but to me she was far too powerful. I could never think of a way to honor that power while bringing her down. It's been done in the comics many times as anyone who has read them knows. Her power comes from her mind so I thought the best way to bring her down would be through that.

Thinking about that I came across an old storyline in the comics I read. It was about the Neo, a super powered community of non mutants who of course wanted to eliminate all mutants. They were separated into clans and one of those clans was the Crimson Pirates led by a man called Tullamere Voge. They were slavers. They came across the X-Men and managed to capture a few of them. I thought how would I continue their story because they largely haven't been seen in the books since. Thankfully they provided some good images to inspire.

Those images are what I had going through my mind while writing this fic. Here is the preview below

Wonder Woman - Savage Manipulations (End Crisis pt1)

As this story evolved and changed while writing it I realized it was an opportunity to do something I have never done. A continuing series that might be four or five stories but all with a definite ending.

Wonder Woman takes on the responsibility of caring for some displaced people. She finds she has to make a deal with the devil to make sure the entire world doesn't fall into chaos.

I hope you all enjoy.
