Before the start of this ongoing, Cyclops was possessed by the Phoenix Force and murdered Professor Xavier. Unlike just about every other hero out of their mind when committing atrocities, Cyclops became a fugitive. Cyclops and the X-men who joined him created a new, super secret school for budding mutants.
Last issue, She-Hulk brought Xavierās will to the mutant school run by Wolverine. All persons named in the will needed to be present before the reading of said will, which meant gathering a few of the fugitive X-men. Beast knew the location of Cyclopsās stealth school, and for whatever reason never turned this information over to S.H.I.E.L.D. even though he totes wants Cyclops in the clink. After everyone was together, and finished joining hands to sing songs of distrust and loathing, they hear from Xavierās will. The crew are surprised to discover Xavier had been married to the villainous Mystique at the time of his death, and that thereās a mutant out there who could ruin any possibility of cohesive existence between humans and mutants. The mutant whoās the next danger to the omniverse may be this guy who keeps accidently causing massive explosions.
Xavier takes a bit of time to explain to his students, whoāve been under his tutelage longer than Iāve been alive, what Cerebro is.Ā During an early usage of Cerebro, Xavier discovered the most epic, mutant-like mutant that has ever existed and will ever exist until they need an even bigger threat to face. Xavier decides to investigate on his own as everyone else is busy, and of course heās got this no problem as a sort-of-kind-of powerfulish mutant himself!
āSplody dudes name is Matthew. (Also, I need to improve my scanning skills.)
Matthew is playing with dolls action figures of Marvel heroes and Villains. The next (or first) match is between Devil Dinosaur and Fin Fang Foom. If I knew more about Marvelās characters Iād go into great detail about how this fight would play out. I think Fin Fang Foom would would win because it is magic (I think) and Devil Dinosaur is just a regular Tyrannosaurus except for his redness (I think).
Before the bout begins, Matthew feels the tickle of Xavier poking around inside his mind. Xavier worries for a moment about being brought up on mutant predatory charges, but he canāt sense any minds inside the semi-destroyed home theyāre in front of. Donāt worry Professor; itās your word v. his; innocent until proven guilty.
Massive neon green outlines of the dolls action figures appear, causing rubble to fly about. Charles says his mutant powers were what kept him alive, but Iām not sure that makes sense. He says heās unable to get into the boys mind now, then how did you survive? That is your mutant power! If you canāt get into the kids head, how could your mutant power stop his mutant power from killing you dead?
Now he says he was able to convince Matt that he was no longer there. Youāre contradicting yourself big time Charles. I thought professors were supposed to be smart and be right about everything! You know What Professor Charles Wilhelmina Xavier,ā¦I donāt like you! When is your will going to be over so you can go back to being dead?
Xavier blabbers on a bit more about not knowing what the kidās power actually is and how Matthew is the worst fear humans have about mutants realized. Cyclops asks for the will to be paused, and my love for him grows as Iām not sure how much more of holoprof I can handle. Oh yeah, I forgot to mention that itās not your average will, that in this case would have been read by She-Hulk. The X-Men get to see and hear a hologram of this pompous toned asshole.
My plan exactly Jennifer.
I also grow to dislike Storm a little bit as she says to Scott, āSort of wishing you hadnāt killed him now?ā He was possessed, of course he regrets it, but he wasnāt in control of himself! Scott still chats with Ororo about the possibility of Xavier leaving the school to Mystique. Scott says he wouldnāt let her take the school. I guess itās not a big deal for him to break the law like that since heās already the most wanted man in America (though really he shouldnāt be seeing as there are worse people whoāve killed more than one person).
A touching moment between Kitty and Nightcrawler.Ā (Kurt was dead for a while until recently.)
Beast and Dazzler also chat for a bit about her new out look on life and physical look as well. Sheās gone grunge after Mystique kidnapped her to make her blood into a mutant growth hormone to sell and took Alisonās place as āDazzler Agent of S.H.I.E.L.D.ā to manipulate the X-men. Basically, sheās pissed and has joined Scottās ārevolutionā with plans to get her hands around Mystiqueās neck.
Noooooo! Why have you betrayed me!
Charles thought about murdering Matthew, but decided against it as he thought itād cause a spiral of destruction. Itās not true plus the kid was going to cause the destruction if left alive anyway, but whatever. Xavier instead projects himself to Matty as a little boy and befriends him. He connects with Matt and slowly removes the childās ability to use his mutant powers. Charles erased Matthewās memory of any of the destruction and people he killed (including his parents), then sent him to an orphanage.
Xavier yammers on trying to defend himself from whatever the X-Men may be pissed at him for after hearing all this, then lets them know that the mental blocks arenāt likely to hold forever so theyāre going to need to keep constant tabs on Matthew and take care of his all destructive power themselves. Fuck you Professor Charles Ipswich Xavier!
Scott is just as angry about this as I am pretending to be! Though heās more upset that Charles was a hypocrite for preaching āmutant and proudā but blocking a mutantās powers. Iād be far more annoyed by his secretly keeping the boy in check while knowing once heās not around everyone is screwed. Iceman suggests Cyclops kill Xavier again and, even though I know heās being a sarcastic ass, Iām all for it. Itās the comic book world where people come back from the dead all the time, so Iād like someone to go around making sure there is no possible way the Professor could be resurrected.
Scott blasts Bobby through a wall, which was deserved in my opinion. Thereās some arguing, calling Scott an ass, and more āyou killed Charlesā crap. None of thatās important though, because thereās more of Xavierās will. Fuck yeah!
Charles makes sure to point out how he had to keep an even closer watch on Matthew during puberty, because thatās when mutations ābloomā. Uh huh sure, see I knew he was a mutant predator; Iām hating myself for helping with his defense before. Finally, Matt was able to see through Xavierās projections because only someone able to psychically influence people could make you feel that sexually satisfied.
Matthewās memories start coming back but he doesnāt want to have them, so he asks Charles to erase them again. Now Iām wondering why I had to listen to this part of the story when it went right back to Matt forgetting again. Were we supposed to learn that Matthewās actually a good guy? Or is this Xavier saying āsee I did the right thing because there was consentā?
Charles asks Cyclops and Wolverine (oh boy) to go with Rachel Summers (time displaced child of Scott and Jean or Madelyne Pryor, or someone else; Iām not sure) and make sure Matthewās mental blocks stay in place. I guess thatāll be in the next issue, but do you know what else weāll be getting in a later issue?
Thatās right! More of Professor Charles Codpiece Xavierās last will and testament, because the rest isnāt to be released until after the Matthew Malloy mission is complete! Woohoo!
Uncanny X-Men #25 Rating: Due to this being my first review, Iāll have to start this as #1. Also, I donāt have a place to show my rankings anyway, so why am I bothering? Iād probably say this was my least favorite issue of Uncanny X-Men, as Xavier talked way too much and was either boring or irritating. The interactions between the present X-Men (and She-Hulk) were bright spots in an otherwise bothersome issue.

daclus answered your question: My rankings for DCs New 52 are obviously pretty...
1.Batwoman 2.Animal Man 3.Batman &Robin 4.Wonder Woman 5.Nightwing 6.All-Star Western 7.Dial H 8.The Movement 9.Supergirl 10.Suicide Squad
I never really cared much about Supergirl (hell, I wasn't a huge Superman fan either although I'm thankful, now, to my fourteen year old self for collecting as many DC Comics Presents as he could) but I have a real soft spot in my something for The New 52 Supergirl. This Kara is just absolutely adorable and fierce. Also, she punches people in the face instead of shaking hands. I find that an acceptable alternative since hand shaking is an overly aggressive act that I will no longer be participating in.
She was going to do it. She was going to march right in there and probably not be able to stop herself from rambling about everything she's thought about ever since that night but regardless he was going to kiss her. She'd make sure of it, but she doubted it would take much coaxing. Or at least she hoped. All she'd done was beat herself up over the fact she hadn't let him before.
When she arrived at his hive she knocked on the door, impatiently waiting for him to answer. She'd kick it in if she had to. Blizra really couldn't be nervous because she was actually kind of angry. Angry at herself, and angry at Daclus for making her go through all this, albeit unintentionally. She didn't want to think about it too much, but if she did she'd realize it was less like anger and more like passion.
Knowing Daclus for almost a sweep, it really was time to pay him a visit. So it was kind of disappointing she didn't get to randomly show up at his hive and surprise him like she'd hoped but that always had the potential for disaster anyway. Also apparently something cool was happening? Cool better not mean some especially shiny fruit she "had to see in person." Regardless, she dressed and prepared herself for the warmer weather when she arrived and proceeded to head out to his hive, Yeti mom growling warnings at her whole way out.
