Hellfire Club

It has four parts, Dazzle, the Inner Circle, the Dark Phoenix, and the Fate of the Phoenix.

So the Hellfire Club, which is Master Mold and Jason Wingard, corrupts Jean Grey's mind, driving her insane with the power until she transforms to destruct the Dark Phoenix.

The fate of the universe hangs on a trial by combat against your Imperial Guard.

Now, I want to say it's like Master Mold or Master Mold because, like, sometimes, you know, my memory... is jumbled up with trying to cram 76 episodes.

Trapped decades ahead of his time, Xavier joins forces with a small band of surviving mutants including Bishop and Domino to find a way to communicate with the past.

Their ultimate goal is to transmit warnings to Wolverine and the X-Men so that they can prevent the cataclysmic events that lead to the robot apocalypse.

The overarching narrative shifts dramatically as political tensions between humans and mutants peak, culminating in McNeil's aggressive power plays and the dangerous intervention of the Hellfire Club.

It is ultimately revealed that the explosion destroying the X-Mansion a year prior was triggered by Jean Grey's desperately trying to contain the cosmic phoenix force within herself so when the hellfire club captures gene to harness this immense power the entity breaks free uh threatening to consume the entire world and in the explosive three-part series finale the x-men the brotherhood of mutants and various global mutant factions unite to stop this terrifying destruction of the Dark Phoenix Emma Frost who defected from the inner circle and teamed up with the X-Men gave her life to contain and neutralize the entity apparently altering history and averting the Dark Dystopian future however the series concludes on a cliffhanger where it's basically teased an apocalypse now in a weird way, even though I know it's not a direct sequel, in a weird way, this show would have worked a lot better if it was a direct sequel to X-Men Evolution.

And at the same time, there is this new player on the board, Emma Frost.

We, at this time in the comics, you know of the Hellfire Club, run by Sebastian Shaw, a lot of these other characters in this secret society.

Emma Frost is part of the Secret Society as the White Queen.

She opens up her own school as well and also tries to recruit Kitty to her team.

And...

I don't know if it's a spoiler for anyone, but Kitty ends up having to go to Emma Frost's school.

So there's that whole period of time where Emma Frost is leading this school of mutants backed by the Hellfire Club, which is an adversary of the X-Men, who are also out trying to find and grow and help young mutants.

So Emma Frost is kind of like this, again, morally gray character where...

And out of character, Emma is one of my favorites, and I wanna be in that space.

Also, Monet was the White Queen of the Hellfire Club for a little bit.

Yeah, there was a point where I think it was Sunspot, uh-

I'm not-

... took over as the Black King of the Hellfire Club, and Monet was recruited to be one of the leaders.

So I will say that we did have a black and white court at the Hellfire, like, pep rally this year.

So we had, like, you know, Phoenix and Emma Frost having a moment, and there was one gentleman whose name I cannot remember off the top of my head, but, like, he was- He tried to sit there and set stuff up to be like, you know-

By the way

We got an event that was surprisingly canceled and the Iron Raiders are in.

The Hellfire Club is out for the trepidation raids.

We'll discuss these things and everything else in Marvel Strike Force in this edition of your Marvel Strike Force Weekly News Update.

And if you're ready for all of it, you don't need to do Valley Club.

And getting ironmonger offers later today and uh officially in the game tomorrow but we'll have them on the web store later today but that means that they're gonna be replacing a team and the trepidation raids and i was wondering what team they would replace if we go in game we see that our squads our raid squads we have um Here we go.

We have two.

These are the oldest teams here, the Hellfire Club and the Insidious Six.

It would make sense that the Hellfire Club is getting replaced, and that is what the datamines suggest.

It's amazing.

She's also affiliated with Cabal, Hellfire Club, and Servants of the Apocalypse.

Oh my God, she's in Apocalypse? Yeah, she's a horseman.

She could be Death or Famine.

She wants to stay out in stealth range, so she's generating the Famine token.

So yeah, very cool for that.

Hellfire Club's interesting because they obviously give you more power and healing.

She has healing factor, a ton of health, so she's very often staying alive and can then run away and heal up, so that's great as well.

I also do want to point out Kevin Bacon is our number one villain in this film.

He is playing the leader of the Hellfire Club, Sebastian Shaw.

Now, before we jump into what I've got planned for today, I do want to go over one quick fun fact about this film.

Then I'm going to take you guys all through just the story of the movie, point out all of the main story beats.

And they are currently in Argentina.

And we learned that his name is Sebastian Shaw.

and we flip over to the united states and this is where we are introduced to the character of moira mctaggart who at this point in the story is a cia agent who is investigating the hellfire club they are outside of a casino in las vegas She sees like a colonel going into this club as well as like mafiosos and senators and all kinds of like prominent people are going into this casino.

And so Moira goes into this casino as well.

Here, here's your journey for Emma Frost.

Coked-out Emma Frost at the Hellfire Club with high bitch-in-charge energy suddenly snaps out of it, is like, "Oh, wait, I'm actually, like, the smartest person here, and I can do better than Xavier," establishes the Massachusetts Academy, and there you go.

And we get Generation X, and eventually she transitions as full-time member of the X-Men.

[laughs] I am handily ...

[laughs] Emma Frost, Emma Frost just needs to be a leader.

That's just, that's the storyline I would go with Emma.

Just let her be a leader, right? She starts off at the Hellfire Club, or maybe she has an origin where she was part of the Hellfire Club.

She creates her own team, and then eventually becomes the leader of the X-Men, right? And those are the three characters I really do wanna see leading an X team.
