Back in the 80s and particularly the 90s, one could find comic books almost anywhere. Supporting my addiction, my mom would buy comics whenever she spotted them while out shopping. She’d also haggle, something I was never good at. So, I almost preferred that she bought comics on her own, without me around. This however resulted in her bringing home some real crap titles, X-Men 2099 among them.
So why include Skullfire in my lineup then? Well, 1) I like to remind folks of the insane X-Plosion of the early 90s which, IMO, was a bit of a renaissance for the X-Men. (And yea, this guy did have an action figure. Although I didn’t own him. I had “Meanstreak.” Great name… crap character.)
2) I like showing folks my psychotic encyclopedic brain when it comes to X-Men. For better or worse, I’ve retained a lot of this shit.
3) For the sheer wtf-ness of it. And 4) because of all those 2099 guys, he was the most unique-looking. True, he looked like the sperm-baby of Gambit and the Crow, but hey, at least I’m not giving you guys Serpentina. (I mean really, Marvel? Serpentina?)

Nearing the end of this X-Men RemiX project, I’ve decided to throw in 7 wildcard characters. They’ll all be surprising and each sexy as all get out!































Thing is, I kinda created this character more than a decade ago in high school. My mutant creation was called “Savage” (OK, lame codename, but hear me out.) He had a blonde mohawk (this was in the 90’s– before mohawks were cool again,) Wolverine-esque powers, and a sexually ambiguous bent. The gimmick was that he was the son of Sabretooth and Birdie. His Sabretooth side caused claws to come out of his forearms (somewhat reminiscent of Batman’s glove spikes– but longer and in the reverse direction.) And his Birdie side gave him subtle sexy mental powers.
