#the purifiers

Now you know I had thoughts, and it looks like the writers are cooking with gas with these tarot references.

There are spoilers so be warned!

Well this isn't something I haven't done before, but I thought it would be nice to do since the end of the year is just a few weeks away.

These are some of the upcoming adventures to expect next year from X-Men: The Next Mutation.....

-On Angel's Wings: Angel has gone through her Secondary Mutation and is using it to help heal people in need, leading many to believe that she's an actual angel. Unfortunately, this catches the ire of the religious zealot and disgraced reverend William Stryker, who believes mutants are the work of The Devil. And upon finding this out, he and his terrorist group, The Purifiers decide to teach the mutants and those who are on their side a lesson in the name of the Lord.

-Date Night in Murderworld: The first holiday special of the series! It's Valentine's Day, and The X-Men and their friends are heading to that new amusement park in town: Loverworld! But suddenly, this theme park turns from a place of love to a place of DEATH as literally everything starts trying to kill them! Now; The X-Men, Duncan, Taryn, Quicksilver, Scarlet Witch, and returning guest character Spider-Man and his girlfriend Chat, must fight for their lives and stop the madman in the charge of the park, who simply calls himself: Arcade.

-Old Frenemies: A pleasant birthday party for Wolverine gets tainted upon the unexpected visit of an old face from his past. This being the regenerative mercenary with a blabber mouth, Deadpool. Initially trying to past it off as a well-meaning visit, Deadpool would eventually reveal that he came to warn Wolverine as a trio of his past foes known as Team X, were coming for him. This team consists of the likes of Omega Red, Lady Deathstrike, and of course, Sabretooth.

-Teenage Mutant Ninja Mutants: The X-Men receive a new member in the form of a young British woman by the name of Betsy Braddock, who takes on the codename: Psylocke. However, her new membership will be put into question when The Westchester District finds itself attacked by the forces of the most feared ninja clan in the world: The Hand, who are after her.

-Surface Pressure: The students of Empire State University are going on a week-long cruise for spring break. However, The X-Men soon find themselves teaming up with Namor the Sub-Mariner in order to help him stop his arch-nemesis Attuma, who's planning on conquering the surface world with his army of giant sea monsters.

-Kitty's Fairy Tale: The first movie event. When Wolverine and Mariko go out for the night, Shadowcat and Lockheed are left in charge of babysitting. And so, the duo decided to tell Akihiro and Laura a bedtime story. The story sees our X-Men planted into the world of the 1001 Nights, where Shadowcat, Lockheed, Nightcrawler and Colossus are a pirate crew about to embark on a journey so grand, even the legendary Sinbad would have to give a thumbs-up to it!

-Party Crashers: The senior prom has arrived at Midtown High School, and Nightcrawler, Scarlet Witch, Colossus and Iceman are excited to have the night of their lives. Unfortunately, the party finds itself crashed by members of The Brotherhood.

-Close Encounters of the Mutant-kind: The X-Men find themselves be recruited by a society of multiversal variants of themselves, and now they have to prove their worth when an alliance of multiversal villains unleash an army of highly-advanced Sentinels onto their headquarters.

As well as the rest of his team, the government and S.H.I.E.L.D.-sponsored X-Factor, consisting of Forge, Polaris, Strong Guy, Multiple Man and Emma Frost. However, things go south when upon their arrival, the team finds out that Havok has gone missing. And now, the search is on for the missing mutant teen. But their search will eventually lead them to the mutant madman who calls him The Living Pharaoh.

-Shock to the System: Spidey and Chat return again for another guest appearance! This time, they're helping The X-Men take down Electro, who after gaining his Secondary Mutation, plans on conquering all New York with its very own technology.

-Wrath of the Man-Apes: A survival training weekend in The Savage Land goes south when The X-Men get attacked and captured by the tribe of savage, ape-like humans known as The Man-Apes, who are planning on forcing them to fight in a death arena. However, Duncan and Taryn managed to escape capture, and now it's up to them to rescue their friends. Luckily, they'll be receiving help from The X-Men's old friend Ka-Zar and his saber-tooth tiger brother Zabu.

-Lovers of War: Wolverine and Mariko tell their kids and The X-Men the story of how they first met and how they fell in love.

-The Show of Strength: Cyclops, Beast, Colossus, Psylocke and Wolverine find themselves being transported to an inter-dimensional fighting arena alongside several other heroes and villains of notable physical strength by the psychotic inter-dimensional television host: Mojo. This was done for his latest reality television hit: The Show of Strength, where he'll split the transported individuals into two teams: Heroes and Villains, and have them fight each other in a series of either 1-on-1 or 2-on-2 battles. Whichever team wins will become the cast of his traveling wrestling show.....forever.

Well that's all for now!

Let me know what you guys think about these upcoming episodes!

Also, I want to murder Jace with my two small hands. Like, this bitch straight up shot Shatter dead and captured my dear Pedro. I know they're "not important" and "secondary" but I still cared! When they showed up on screen, I shouted their names. My family didn't even remember them!

Like, Shatter was so cool. Pedro, too. They didn't deserve any of this...If I had any doubts about Hellfire—which, mind you, I did not—this literally just reinforced what I believed. Let mutants have their own homeland, to be honest. Humans should just get out of their freaking way.

The Purifiers first appeared in 1982 as followers of William Stryker who help him invade the Xavier academy and start killing young mutants, acting under the belief that mutants are creations of Satan and must be eradicated from this world. So, basically, the "religious nutcase" side of the anti-mutant argument.
