So if they're going to be drawing on the X-Factor comics and potentially the more recent incarnations of the X-Factor comics chances are the stars of this X-Men TV show are going to be all new characters. Well, new to the on screen universe, anyway, since the detective agency is principally staffed by second-stringers. Almost certainly no Cyclops, Storm or Jean Grey in sight (they just got recast for the next X-Men film anyway, which is a whole other can of worms). Multiple Man's name is being tossed around with most of the rumours about the show, and C-listers like Warlock, Polaris and Banshee could be involved. Interestingly, the most recent X-Factor team involved Gambit played by Channing Tatum in the upcoming film who probably won't appear, and Quicksilver played by Evan Peters in Days Of Future Past who might be involved somehow. Which is confusing...
Tom Baker is the Comics Editor at WhatCulture! He's heard all the Doctor Who jokes, but not many about Randall and Hopkirk. He also blogs at http://communibearsilostate.wordpress.com/
