Dawn Of X: 10 Spin-Off Comics Marvel Must Make

9. Changeling

X-Men Dazzler
Marvel

Kevin Sydney (his real name) first appeared as Changeling in the X-Men comic series, a mutant shapeshifter. He was a short-lived adversary for the X-Men who subsequently joined Professor X and died shortly after, making him the first member of the X-Men to die in action.

The character was reintroduced as Morph in the 1990s for X-Men: The Animated Series. An alternate reality version of the character under the codename Morph reappeared in the comics as part of the Exiles in 2001.

Despite having appeared, reinvented as ‘Morph,’ in later comics; wouldn’t it be amazing to have a Changeling spin-off centering on his life before joining Professor X?

Sydney originally worked for the villainous organization Factor Three. He acted as the Mutant Master's second-in-command in an effort to trigger World War III.

After successfully capturing the heroic X-Men, the Mutant Master is exposed as an extraterrestrial and goes out of control. The mutants of Factor Three ultimately join the X-Men to defeat the Mutant Master.

A spin-off of the period before the final confrontation between Factor Three and the X-Men could focus on Sydney’s slow realization that the Mutant Master isn’t quite what he seems; lending itself to the suspense/horror genre quite well.
