Dammit I was gonna say Magneto just for the hell of it, but thought that he was too easy LoL ... Oh well...next time I am just gonna guess whatever I feel...
I know I'd never be able to read EVERY comic out there about the X-Men, so since reading the AoA story arc, I am now gonna read the "House of M" story I downloaded ( 8 comics and 1 "what if" comic ) and I wanted to ask you about the mutant x, and earth x storylines...also any suggestions on stories to read is VERY helpful to me.

As I already advised you to simply guess - regardless of whether or not it was 'too obvious' or 'for the hell of it' - I will say no more about it.
As for the reading advise, the titles you're mentioning are good, solid alternate reality ones.
Another one that may be of interest is the Marvel version of the Exiles - reality hoping heroes faces various what if situations, and the story is actually pretty good.

I guess it is. Kinda nice after a verrrry long losing streak. I think you've got plenty of prize options from me, but I might send over one more. Thanks!

I'd echo this. Exiles was a great series for the most part. Also, try Age of X. It definitely has similarities to AoA.

Congrats on the consecutive wins. However, as you've topped out on the quota, there will be no prize this round. I'll hold on to it for the next eligible win though.

1 - There's only one Iceman, except when Bobby isn't Bobby; and someone else is! - Doppelganger/Wolfgang Heinrich


2 - Possesses a fifth-level brain - Mentac


3 - You'd think she'd be more sensitive to weather, all things considered - Mercury


4 - An Exalted leader - Magneto


5 - Cable isn't the only mutant infected by the trans-mode virus - Paradigm


And from the last round, Pared wanted either Rusty or Skids, from a nifty promo Liefeld sketch. I couldn't decide which to make, so I made both.


There is no prize this round, as Pared already met the quota of 2 consecutive prizes. I hope to have more clues ready by Monday, though I don't hold out too much hope.

Credit to Darkling for the metal style; Anth, Zoo, Darkling, and Joffre for hair; and Necroleaf, Blanchett and Anth for micro refs.

Enjoy!

Oh shoot I totally forgot about the consecutive wins rule. I should've sat this round out to give someone else a chance to win. Sorry everyone! My mistake.

That being said, Rusty and Skids look absolutely amazing! Thanks so much! And from the new suit, Paradigm blows me away! Though Mercury is a close second! Great set!

Glad you like the prizes.

There is no reason for you to sit out. You can win as many rounds as you like - you'll get bragging rights, if nothing else. As for you participating with no prize, it just makes it more of a challenge for the others; your only motivation is to set or beat a personal record.

DUDE!! That Paradigm is just freekin nutz!!! OMG I LOVE it!! I am actually jealous of that one, my God I wish I could have made it!! Mercury & Magneto look excellent too!! And the rest are top notch as always!! I look forward to next round...I may even win a round 1 day....

I'm really digging the colors you used in the first few Mercurys. She looks super awesome. But Paradigm is so, so rad. Definitely one of the coolest micros ever made. EVER!

Thanks. The full body version is based off of Necroleaf's version, so it's his awesomeness.
You just might Self, you just might.

Thanks! Hahaha, the credit isn't mine for the look, and the 'glyphs' are all based off of Necroleaf; the head one though... that one's me.

Paradigm looks creepy with his floating head just there Hahaha, good job though.

This batch looks soo cool Spaz
Wolfgang, Mentac, Cessily, Max, Paradigm, Rusty and Sally look great!!
well done!

Technically, it's not floating there... it's been cut off the rest of his body and is on that silver pike...
Forge has it hooked up to his machines to make those odd mutant things that the Astonishing X-Men have to fight before blowing up his lab and killing him (Forge). Glad you like him though.

Great work Spaz. Paradigm and Mercury are my favorites of the set.

Correct! I never said he started off as a villain, just an X-foe. The entire Alpha Flight team was introduced fighting the X-Men to retrieve Wolverine.
