A-F

ANGEL (Warren Worthington III, a.k.a. Archangel - DECEASED, sort of)

Starred in: X-Factor #1-6, The Crossroads

NOTES: Warren awoke with the rest of X-Factor at Reality 915's Battle of Bull Run and saved lives with his healing factor, accidentally changing history. He was contacted by the Slayer, who strung him along and convinced his team he'd betrayed them. Warren broke up with Paige Guthrie and was possessed for a time, but Gambit saved him.

Reunited with Paige, Warren proposed marriage to her-- but died before receiving her answer, in the process killing the Slayer. Jonothon Starsmore's attempt to save him went awry, trapping the former Chamber in the Angel's body. He retains Warren's memory and powers, and there is some suggestion that Warren's mind might still exist inside the body... somewhere. For now, the Angel has become the latest of the X-Men's fallen heroes.

The reality 502 version of Warren Worthington was also a famous martyr, killed by the evil Storm in what became known as the Morlock Massacre.

APOCALYPSE (En Sabah Nur)

NOTES: The Slayer has been hinting since X-Factor #1 that the mutant called Apocalypse might rise ahead of schedule in Reality 915. In X-Factor #6, the team even thought they battled one of his Horsemen, but that was an illusion. So the team is totally safe from Apocalypse, right? Totally, completely. Heh.

ARTHUR

Guest-Starring in: Excalibur #1, 3

NOTES: A pawn of the Slayer/Merlin in Reality 225, King Arthur was hardly more than a boy. When he rescued Guinevere in Excalibur #6, Jamie Madrox left Arthur in jail on the grounds that he was “kind of a dork.”

BANSHEE (Sean Cassidy)
Starring in: Generation: Eternity #1-

Previously in: Excalibur #1-6, The Crossroads

NOTES: Sean Cassidy was at his wit's end after the House of M, his career and personal life all but ruined. It only got worse when he met Moira MacTaggart's double in Camelot, only to find she wasn't real, and befriended Mindee Cuckoo, who soon died. When the team entered the Crossroads, Sean was on the verge of suicide.

Emma Frost saved him, however, and a reunion with his daughter in Reality 616 has helped Sean considerably. He has accepted Emma's offer to return to the new Massachusetts Academy as its headmaster.

BARON HEINRICH ZEMO

Guest-Starring in: X-Force #1-

NOTES: Reality 758's premiere Nazi scientist, Baron Zemo allied with the Slayer against X-Force. He seemed to particularly enjoy experimenting on Kitty Pryde, although the loss of her and Magneto has embarrassed Zemo in the eyes of his superior, the Red Skull.

BEAK (Barnell Bohusk)
Guest-Starred in: Exiles #1

NOTES: Barnell Bohusk has returned home after his stay with the Exiles, and may turn up again at Xavier's school.

BEAST (Dr. Henry McCoy)
Starring in: Generation: Eternity #1-
Previously in: New X-Men #1-6, The Crossroads

NOTES: While posing as his older self in the future of Reality 502, Hank was reverted to his original, mostly-human form by an evil version of Sage. This new form suffers from occasional glitches, causing him to become totally bestial periodically. Nevertheless, Hank has joined the staff of the Massachusetts Academy and has struck up a friendship with Monet St. Croix.

The Reality 502 Beast was a well-known crusader for peace, one of the most respected men in the world.

BEDIVERE (DECEASED)
Guest-Starring in: Excalibur #4-5

NOTES: A valiant knight who secretly opposed Merlin, Bedivere was killed by the renegade Jamie Madrox in Excalibur #5.

BISHOP, LUCAS
Starring in: New X-Men #1-
Previously in: The Crossroads
Guest Appearances: Uncanny X-Men #7

NOTES: Bishop continues to serve with the team of X-Men in the future. He's assigned himself the personal responsibility for watching over Reality 502's morally ambiguous Psylocke, and has become a bit of a mentor to X-23.

BLACK PANTHER (T'Challa)

Guest-Starred in: New X-Men #5

NOTES: The 616 version of T'Challa remains the ruler of Wakanda, and is fundamentally unchanged although not engaged to Storm in our timeline.

His Reality 502 counterpart was deposed as ruler of Wakanda by the evil Storm after offering her sanctuary. Bishop, Callisto, and Pyro managed to free him from her grasp, despite an assassination attempt by Forge. He is presently retaking his country.

BLINDFOLD
Guest-Starring in: Generation: Eternity #1-, New X-Men #3

The 616 version of Blindfold will be one of the students at the Massachusetts Academy. Her Reality 502 counterpart was a telepath who was captured and used as a Hound. She was rescued by Bishop and Psylocke and is now at large.

BLINK (Clarice Ferguson)
Starring in: New X-Men #7-
Previously in: Uncanny X-Men #1-6, The Crossroads

NOTES: Clarice Ferguson was ripped from the Exiles and stranded in Reality 616 following the House of M. She formed a friendship with Jubilee and a love-hate relationship with our reality's Sabretooth before being taken by the Slayer. Liberated in the battle, Blink now joins the team to rescue Professor X due to her reality-hopping experience.

BLOB (Fred J. Dukes)

Guest-Starring in: New X-Men #1

NOTES: An alternate version of the Blob was seen in the future timeline, where he was a law officer. The 616 version has not been seen, and is presumably at large.

BRUISER (Molly Hayes)
Guest-Starring in: New X-Men #7-

NOTES: The 616 version of Molly is presumably still with the Runaways. A grown-up version from the future will be one of Reality 502's New X-Men.

CABLE (Nathan Christopher Summers)
Guest-Starring in: New X-Men #1-, The Crossroads

NOTES: The Cable we know has been missing since the House of M. His whereabouts are unknown.

His reality 502 counterpart is a younger man without the techno-organic virus; he witnessed his parents' murder and was raised by Emma Frost. A former military captain, he fights the war against the humans by his own rules.

This alternate Cable befriended his sister Rachel, then betrayed her to the Slayer in return for the latter's help in his war. When the Slayer doubled-crossed Cable, killing Domino in the process, he switched sides and helped the X-Men defeat the villain.

Wanting to make Domino's death count and needing an inspiration in the war against humanity, Cable kidnapped Professor X. Now a new team of X-Men-- including his alternate parents-- chases him into the future...

CAGE, LUKE
Starring in: Spider-Man Eternity one-shot

NOTES: Luke Cage returned to our reality along with the rest of the New Avengers after the House of M, and was sent out after his friend Spider-Man who had apparently gone rogue. He is currently assisting Peter with his mysterious quest through time.

CALLISTO
Guest-Starred in: New X-Men #2-, The Crossroads

NOTES: The Reality 616 Callisto hasn't appeared since the House of M. Her whereabouts are unknown.

Her Reality 502 counterpart is a mercenary employed by Marrow, who aided Storm and Bishop in their battle against the alternate Storm.

CANNONBALL (Sam Guthrie)

Starring in: X-Factor #1-

Previously in: The Crossroads

NOTES: Sam remains a member of X-Factor in the Reality 915, Civil War timeline where he awoke after the House of M. It was Sam who recruited Rahne Sinclair and Jamie Madrox to the team, after recognizing their old friend Guido Carosella trapped in the past alongside the team (in X-Factor #6). His is helping his sister deal with the loss of her lover, Warren Worthington.

CAPTAIN AMERICA (Steve Rogers)

Guest-Starred in X-Force #1, 3-4

NOTES: Reality 616's 'normal' Captain America is still with the Avengers and has not been featured in our series.

Reality 758's World War II-era Cap prevented the attack on Pearl Harbor, unfortunately resulting in a timeline where America failed to enter the War. Desperate to correct this mistake, he has aided Logan's team on several occasions.

CAPTAIN BRITAIN

Starring in: Exiles #1-

Guest-Starred in X-Force #1, 6

NOTES: Reality 616's Captain Britain, Brian Braddock, was one of the mutant heroes missing since the House of M. He has recently reappeared as part of the new Weapon X team outside time.

Reality 758's Captain Britain is Justin Braddock, an impossibly perfect World War II era super-soldier with all the powers of the original. Betsy Braddock, however, has never heard of this person, and does not trust him. His identity is a bit of a mystery.

CHAMBER (Jonothon Starsmore)

Starring (sort of) in: Generation: Eternity #1-

Previously in: X-Factor #1-6, The Crossroads

NOTES: Jonothon Starsmore is semi-deceased. He tried to give his life to save his rival Warren Worthington, in the process trapping all his psionic energy-- his self-- in Warren's body. The hybrid being now has Chamber's mind and the body of an Angel. He's not quite either man, however, and could not bear to remain in the company of Paige Guthrie, whom they both had loved. He left X-Factor and is now relearning the use of his telepathic power from Emma Frost at the Massachusetts Academy.

COLOSSUS (Piotr Rasputin)

Starring in: X-Force #1-

Previously in: The Crossroads

NOTES: Piotr Rasputin's relationship with Kitty Pryde was progressing steadily, until she mortally wounded him under the Slayer's influence. Rescued from the brink of death, Piotr distrusted her initially, but finally decided nothing but their love mattered. He now returns to the past with Logan's strike force, in order to save Psylocke.

CYCLOPS (Scott Summers)
Starring in: New X-Men #7-
Previously in: Uncanny X-Men #1-7, The Crossroads
Guest Appearances: NXM #6 (reality 502 alternate version)

NOTES: Scott is still with Emma Frost despite the return of Jean Grey-- however, now that he's undertaken the mission to rescue Professor X with Jean, many of the team expect them to reunite soon.

In Reality 502 of the New X-Men series, Scott Summers became Magneto's lieutenant and the most feared man in the world. He is now deceased, killed by Nightcrawler when he attempted to stop his wife, Jean Grey-Summers, from running away with Wolverine.

DAGONET
Guest-Starred in: Excalibur #4-5

NOTES: Dagonet was a mutant in the form of a giant beast. Mocked and scorned by his people, he was the only creature large enough for the Juggernaut to ride. They didn't get along very well. He was wounded in battle alongside the X-Men, but is recovering.

DAREDEVIL (Matthew Murdock)

Guest-Starred in: New X-Men #2, 4

NOTES: The 616 Daredevil hasn't been seen since the House of M. His status is presumably the same as in Marvel's timeline.

His reality 502 counterpart was the Attorney General of the human nation, and was assassinated by Sage.

DAZZLER (Alison Blaire)

Starring in: X-Force #1-

Previously in: The Crossroads

NOTES: Initially an unwilling recruit to Logan's strike force, Dazzler came to respect his leadership and became a lynchpin of the team, going so far as to declare “I'm X-Force” when offered the chance to back out. She even has a personal quest in Reality 758: Finding the American G.I. who saved her life in battle.

Ali has been conflicted by her feelings for her reborn former lover, Longshot.

DEADPOOL (Wade Wilson)
Guest-Starring in: Generation: Eternity #2

NOTES: The “merc with a mouth” turned up at the Massachusetts Academy recently, attempting to collect a bounty that has been placed on Emma Frost. Becoming piqued when he learned his employers had sent a second mercenary without telling him, Deadpool turned on them and declined to kill Emma... for now.

DOCTOR DOOM (Victor von Doom)

Guest-Starring in: Uncanny X-Men #7-

NOTES: Victor von Doom has been presumed dead since his last defeat by the Fantastic Four. Nevertheless, rumors from several sources indicate he may be alive and a threat to the X-Men. On their recent mission to Latveria, the team encountered a man claiming to be Doom. What will come of this remains to be seen.

DOMINO (Neena Thurman)

Starring in: Exiles #1-

Guest-Starred in: New X-Men #3, 6, The Crossroads

NOTES: The 616 version of Domino was missing after the House of M, and has reappeared as leader of the new Weapon X team, trapped outside of time. Her Reality 502 counterpart was a lieutenant of Nathan Summers, killed in his battle against the Slayer.

ELIXIR (Josh Foley)

Guest-Starring in: Generation: Eternity #1-, Uncanny X-Men #3

NOTES: Josh Foley is a student at the Massachusetts Academy. He has helped heal the X-Men of various wounds, most notably (off-panel) bringing Wolverine back from the brink of death in The Crossroads.

EVERETT, CAPTAIN RICHARD

Guest-Starring in X-Factor #1-2, 7

NOTES: Everett was a Confederate officer in Reality 915 who resigned his commission because he fell in love with a slave, Lenora. He hired X-Factor to free her from Sinister's grasp, and ended up leading the Morlocks they rescued. He developed a strong respect for Cecilia Reyes.

EXECUTIONER (Laszlo Vadasz)
Guest-Starring in: Uncanny X-Men #7-8

NOTES: Laszlo Vadasz was a Latverian freedom-fighter who was captured and apparently brainwashed by Dr. Doom. Over the last few months he has been killing mutants as the masked Executioner, and the team has vowed to stop him. His motives and whereabouts are presently unknown.

FORGE
Starring in: New X-Men #1-
Previously in: The Crossroads

NOTES: Forge found himself with the group of X-Men in Reality 502's future, and was immediately taken prisoner by Marrow, who mistook him for his parallel self, a cruel and angry man-- consort to the Lady Ororo. Once the mistake was straightened out, Forge remained in the future timeline to try to invent a machine that can cross dimensions at will.
