AustinGortonS8 - Xi'an
AKA Future Professor X
All jokes aside, I have always appreciated that the X-Men 2099 Professor X figure - the one around whom the X-Men gravitate - isn't a telepath.

S7 - Skullfire
AKA Future Cyclops/Havok
More or less the POV character of X-Men 2099, Tim is also a first ballot honoree in the "Ron Lim Hands" Hall of Fame.

S6 - Bloodhawk
AKA Future AngelWolverine
The "In the Year 2099" fact could really read "In the Year 2026", amiright?

S5 - Serpentina
AKA Future Thunderbird (cuz she died early on)
I'm honestly surprised Moore kept Serpentina dead.

S4 - Metalhead
AKA Future Colossus
Metalhead's eventual transformation into a melty metal man blew my young mind far more than Serpentina's earlier death did.

S3 - Krystalin
AKA Future Storm, Kinda
Despite my "AKA" bit, one of the interesting things about X-Men 2099 is that a lot of them don't map neatly onto a "present day" X-Men analog; Krystalin is a good example of that.

S2 - Cerebra
AKA Future Jean Grey
What are the odds Grant Morrison was aware of this character when they debuted the souped version of Cerebro of the same name?

S1 - Meanstreak
AKA Future Quicksilver (w/a little Gambit)
Continuing this series' embrace of the 2099 universe, the chase cards are devoted to X-Men 2099
They are also all "Dyna-Etch" cards, featuring a metallic foil treatment

Out of the Patreon vault, X-amining X-Men 2099 #4!
A satisfying done-in-one that intros a character who will become a mainstay of the series, while also frustratingly-sidestepping the question of what this book is going to be about. #XMen #XMen2099

One of the X-Men of the future pulls a Thunderbird! It's sort of not who you expect, largely because all the characters are still ciphers! But by the end, we've got our core cast! #XMen #XMen2099 #Xaminations
