New superheroes set for Avengers 2

So being bored on Facebook a friend sent me a link about Avengers 2 which I am already incredibly excited for. Clicking the link I stumble across, what I personally think, is the best news for comic film fans in a long time.

It has been announced that the writer/director Joseph Whedon for the new avenger film has announced that two new avengers will be joining the team! And they are Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch. Both of whom I am incredibly excited about. Whilst they are well known to the comic community for being the son and daughter of the powerful mutant Magneto, I am wondering whether this will be bought up in the new film which is set to be released in 2015.

Although excited I am kind of skeptical about how they are going to portray the Scarlet Witch. I know aliens and gods are not uncommon in the first Avenger film, and that it won't be as 'realistic' as the Dark Knight Trilogy, but will thy really give Scarlet Witch the almighty powers that she actually has or will they tone it down a bit. The latter would be a real shame to any comic book fan.

My last little point is that as these two new additions are actually mutants, as well as the children of a mutant, will it be mentioned/hinted at in the upcoming film? The possibility to link the 2 franchises could result in something huge for everyone, if done correctly. You have to admit that it would be freaking sweet if it led to a combined movie such as Avengers Vs X-Men (Although some key characters such as Professor X and Cyclops have already been killed off in X-men: Last Stand)

Can't wait to here more news!!

Comic Trivia Of The Day- Professor X

So here is today's issue of Comic Trivia Of The Day. Enjoy!

Many people know who Charles Xavier aka Professor X is. A man who is a figurehead for the mutant community, setting up a school for the gifted for those young pupils to hone and craft their powers in order to use them for good whilst also protecting them from the prejudice outside world.

Along with being a father figure at the school, for both students and teachers (who consist of Cyclops, Storm and even Wolverine) he is also probably the worlds most powerful telepathic. He can access the minds of anyone (excluding Magneto when he wears his custom-made helmet) he can cage dark personalities within someone (the Phoenix in Jean Gray for example) whilst he can pick out your darkest secrets if he wanted to.

Since he is all so powerful, many people wonder why he is in a wheelchair since he wasn't born that way and he doesn't suffer from any debilitating illnesses. Most people, who have either read the comics or seen the film, know that Professor X was unfortunately paralysed by another. Many people believe that it was either at the hands of Magneto ( was is depicted in X-Men First Class) or by the mammoth Juggernaut. But this is not the case.

According to the main continuity line that Marvel uses, Professor Charles Xavier was actually paralysed by an alien scout named Lucifer who dropped a giant stone onto the Professor which caused Charles' legs to be crippled. Seems a bit odd that one it wasn't one of the main characters we here of when reading a comic with any involvement of the X-Men but hey-ho.

Thank you for reading guys and girls, come back tomorrow for another issue of Comic Trivia Of The Day
