Explain yourselves.
There are people, no, Plebs, in this very board, that don't think Fantomex is cool

Uncanny X-Force is propably the best X-Men comic I've ever read, best Deadpool and Fantomex was cool af in it.
Landon Bailey
They really should do a Pepe Le Pew parody of Fantomex chasing after Rogue.
Ayden Ward
I've always loved Fantomex. His movie was a funny Mystery Science Theater 3000 episode.
Gabriel Nguyen
Will telling women I think Fantomex is cool get me a girlfriend?
Oliver Bell
Yes, actually. You'll be shocked how quickly it works.

Peak reddit and cringe
Jack Scott
Brainwashed to be atheist, Fantomex has to carry a lot of baggage. He doesn`t compare to Based Atheist Thorse.
Ryan Reed
His potential seems quite wasted, there should have been more stories about him living out his Arsin Lupin while having to combat his creators in his true form. Additionally a transhumanist faction within the human and mutant war would be quite good. Exploring all its potential and faults.
Gavin Ramirez
The problem was Morrison. He basically created this character, made him cool and likable, then relentlessly shit on the character just so he could point and go "see, this character isn't cool or likable at all, he's just a pathetic loser." All because he doesn't care for a completely different character.
Oliver Bell
>He basically created this character, made him cool and likable,
No he didn't, at least not in the way you mean. That was the entire point of the character: he's a facade. He was created as a PR initiative, to be the cartoon-friendly face of the mutant pogrom. This is explicitly stated in Morrison's run. Fantomex was designed to be an amalgamation of "cool" attributes because he's basically a walking marketing campaign.
Ethan Mitchell
Gambit already exists.
Luke Nelson
What happened to him after X Force? I never read past Remender
Wyatt Rodriguez
is it industry standard for comic artist to trace reference photos?
Jaxon Foster
This.
Charles Carter
Thanks for the reaction image
Aiden Gomez
The problem is that Fantomex was widely embraced by the readers who found him charming and endearing and the whole facade thing really resonated well in an unintentional sort of way with the rest of the run due to Morrison's alterations to how mutants worked. You can't say "this character is fake cool and likable" when the audience finds the character cool and likable, because the entire concept falls apart if the audience doesn't interpret them as a phony. You're left spiting your fans even if that wasn't the intention at all.

No, and pretending you think Fantomex and Quentin Quire are the best X-Men characters won't get Morrison to take you to prom, either.
Robert Long

Good, fans who don't understand are morons and should be shat on.
Carter Harris
Wh- Dear, God...
Gabriel Garcia
>How DARE readers like the characters I don't want them to like!
It's pretty fucking clearly a trace of Mark Hamill.
Levi Campbell
Only if his MAX mini wasn't written by some literally who
Owen Campbell
>>How DARE readers like the characters I don't want them to like!
I'm glad we agree.
Juan Bailey
The point of Fantomex was to be a parody of all the X-books' cool, suave, mysterious ladies' man characters with ties to Wolverine' past. He put Gambit and Maverick into a blender with a homage to Fantomas, and you got Fantomex. If you thought he was a cool, original and likeable new character, you got played as hard as the readers who thought Xorn was a likeable new character.
>You're left spiting your fans even if that wasn't the intention at all.
Spiting X-Men fans appears to have absolutely been the intention of a lot of his run.
Caleb Ortiz
I don't remember anything about this except the rapey lesbian
Jose Walker
That doesn't really work, because people like cool, suave, mysterious ladies' man characters. And it's the X-Men, no one thought they were getting cool and original new characters except for the people who thought Morrison might bring something new to the table. Which he didn't. He even directly connected more characters to Wolverine's past. Fantomex is a prime example of death of the author; not only did readers reject Morrison's concept of the character, they disapproved of his treatment of said character. The problem with what Morrison did with Fantomex is that he subverted a popular archetype by presenting it as a facade only for what was under said facade was liked by the readers. The problem isn't that readers were too entranced by Fantomex to "get it," the problem is that readers liked Charlie Cluster 7 and resented what they saw as Morrison using the character as a punching bag to make a poorly expressed personal opinion.

Fixed that for ya.
Brandon Johnson
>made him cool and likable, then relentlessly shit on the character
But I liked him being a mutant/human/sentinel hybrid that was bred by Sublime to act as his instrument but choose to freedom. Fantomex is an act, but Charlie Cluster 7 plays it with desperate passion.
Jaxon Miller
He teamed up with Betsy for a while, joined another X-Force team led by Cable, then got body jacked by Xavier and was vacationing on the astral plane.
Wyatt Morgan
No user, you messed it up, here I fixed it back,
>They really should do a Pepe Le Pew parody of Fantomex chasing after Rogue.
Psylocke doesn't have a skunk stripe and Psylocke wouldn't need chasing, her legs are constantly akimbo, for everyone, anything, all.
Plus him chasing after Gambits Mrs has humor to it.
Samuel Scott
He’s kind of lame.
