Hellions (Marvel Comics)

Last updated

Several fictional groups of mutants have used the name Hellions in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. The Hellions have always been portrayed as rivals of various teams of younger mutant heroes in the X-Men franchise, initially as actual villains and later on a team that was more of a school rival than actual enemies of the X-Men.

Contents

The first and most notable incarnation of the Hellions were students of Emma Frost and the Hellfire Club's Massachusetts Academy, and were rivals of the New Mutants. The original Hellions first appeared in New Mutants #16 (June 1984), created by writer Chris Claremont and artist Sal Buscema. [1] This version of the Hellions ended after an attack by Trevor Fitzroy and a squadron of Sentinels that killed several Hellions.

Two later groups known as the Hellions or New Hellions both fought against various X groups such as Generation X and X-Force. In New X-Men: Academy X (2004), a new group of Hellions were introduced. This time they were a part of the Xavier Institute for Higher Learning – the Hellions were one of several factions that the students were divided into including the New Mutants, with whom they had a rivalry. The Hellions were also the focus of a limited series titled New X-Men: Hellions (2005). After the majority of mutants lost their powers in the Decimation storyline, the students were combined into one squad as the number of mutants was greatly reduced.

During the Krakoan Age, as part of the Dawn of X publishing initiative, a new ongoing series titled Hellions launched in March 2020 which focused on the most dangerous mutant outcasts. It ended with issue #18 in December 2021 during the Reign of X publishing initiative.

The original group of Hellions were apprentices of the Hellfire Club and students of its White Queen Emma Frost. While attending classes at Frost's Massachusetts Academy, these young mutants secretly trained in the use of their powers in an underground complex beneath the school. They were longtime rivals of the Professor Charles Xavier's students, the New Mutants, and once held their own against the X-Men. The original Hellions were: [2]

White Queen Emma Frost had another potential Hellion in Firestar (Angelica Jones), but kept the girl from joining the team on field missions while grooming her to be Frost's personal assassin. Firestar eventually learned of Frost's plans and left the Massachusetts Academy. [3]

After suffering a severe trauma at the hands of the Beyonder, [4] [5] a number of the New Mutants were transferred to the Massachusetts Academy by Magneto (then headmaster of Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters), due to their apparent need for psychic therapy from Emma Frost. [6] While at the academy, the transferred New Mutants — Cannonball, Wolfsbane, Karma, Cypher, Magik, and Magma — were inducted into the Hellions. [7] They soon returned to Xavier's School after their recovery and the revelation that the White Queen had employed Empath to coerce Magneto into allowing the transfer. [8] After an alliance between the X-Men and the Hellfire Club [9] and Magneto's ascension to the Inner Circle as its White King, [10] relations between the Hellions and New Mutants improved.

Magma, realizing she held feelings for Empath, eventually returned to the Hellions and the Massachusetts Academy; [11] the two would later leave the team to travel to her home in Nova Roma. [12] James Proudstar also left the Hellions, reemerging with Cable and the remnants of the New Mutants in X-Force. [13]

Superstrong and durable Beef (Buford Wilson) and bioelectricity-projecting Bevatron (Fabian Marechal-Julbin) were later additions to the group. They were present when the Hellions unsuccessfully challenged the New Warriors over the allegiance of their former member, Firestar. [14]

The original Hellions however came to an end when Trevor Fitzroy and a squadron of Sentinels attacked a Hellfire Club function; Jetstream and Beef were killed immediately, [15] while Tarot, the rest of the Hellions and many guests erroneously believed to be unnamed Hellions were captured and drained of their life energies by Fitzroy. [16] Emma Frost's guilt over her students' deaths led to her eventual reform. These Hellions were some of the many deceased mutants resurrected via the Transmode Virus by Selene and Eli Bard during the "Necrosha" storyline running through New Mutants , X-Force and X-Men: Legacy . They survived and are once again acting as a team.

With the establishing of the new sovereign mutant nation of Krakoa, the original Hellions and Bevatron, now free of the Transmode Virus, have all taken up residence there.

Emplate's Hellions

The next group of Hellions was organized by the parasitic Emplate to attack Generation X, the new class of Emma Frost's students. [17] This group appeared twice, in Generation X (1994) #11–12 and #57, with slightly different members: [17] [18] [19]

The New Hellions

A group of self-proclaimed "New Hellions" emerged to fight X-Force, in X-Force #87–90, whose members included some from the team's past: [17] [23]

After the reopening of the Xavier Institute for Higher Learning various training squads are formed. One such group of students, under the tutelage of headmistress Emma Frost, is dubbed "the Hellions". [25] They have an intense rivalry with another such group, the New Mutants, echoing the relationship between the two original groups of the same names. Membership consists of:

The four issue limited series New X-Men: Hellions (2005), by writers Nunzio DeFilippis and Christina Weir with art by Clayton Henry, focused on the Hellions spending the summer in California. [27] [28] [29] [24] In a review of the New X-Men Academy X – The Complete Collection trade paperback, Eric Alex Cline of AIPT thought the Hellions were the only characters to "show promise" and that the Hellions limited series in the collection was "easily the best part of the book". [30] On the limited series, Cline commented that "while the actual villain of the series is rather bland, he helps set the stage for the Hellions to get some solid character development. Some of the most interesting conflicts take place between the mutant teens and their human parents who sometimes fail to protect their children, and who even show prejudice toward them. It's a cool situation to see handled on the page, especially since the mutant metaphor doesn't always stretch that far". [30]

After M-Day, the cataclysmic event that decimated the world's mutant population, only 27 of the 182 students enrolled at the Xavier Institute retain their powers, and the remaining students are folded into a single training squad, the New X-Men. For the Hellions, only Tag and Specter were depowered.

All-New Hellions (Hellfire Academy)

After the events of Avengers vs. X-Men, the new Black King of the Hellfire Club, Kade Kilgore, creates the Hellfire Academy, a school for training mutants to be villains. Kilgore recruits for his school some former students of the X-Men and creates a new team of Hellions. [31] [17]

A Hellions title was launched March 2020 as part of the Dawn of X publishing initiative during the Krakoan Age. [32] [33] Written by Zeb Wells, and drawn by Stephen Segovia, the initial cast comprised Empath, Havok, Mister Sinister, Nanny, Orphan-Maker, Psylocke, Greycrow, and Wild Child. [34] [35] [36] For the majority of the series, Segovia was the lead artist "but key chapters were also illustrated by Carmen Carnero, Ze Carlos, and Roge Antonio, among others". [37] On the setup of the series, Wells commented:

I wanted to pick at some of the complicated issues that were caused by the mutant society coming together. I really like what [ Jonathan Hickman] had done, where as long as you're a mutant you can come live on this island because it was going to be a utopia. But there are some very weird characters who have done some very terrible things. I didn't want it to seem like that would be brushed under the carpet, I wanted to dig into that. We could play with the larger issues of what a society does with the people who can't fit in, or don't want to fit in. [37]

The series was cancelled in 2021 with issue #18 (December 2021) as its last. [38] Hellions established some of the groundwork for Hickman's Inferno (September 2021 – January 2022) event. [39] [40] CBR noted that the series retired Greycrow's "racist" Scalphunter codename, which debuted during the 1986 Mutant Massacre storyline, in the second issue of the series and that Greycrow had major "character development" with a shift towards redemption and heroics during this series. [41] In January 2021, Wells highlighted that Greycrow "carries the themes of the book most explicitly". [42] The character jumped out to Wells during the series "earliest brainstorming stages" – Wells stated, "I see a character who came from pain and violence and then repeated the cycle again and again and never stopped to ask if that is who he really wants to be. And now he's seeing the world change around him, but not sure if he can change". [42]

Hellions was #6 on Entertainment Weekly 's "The 10 best comics of 2021" list — Christian Holub opined that since the Krakoan Age relaunch, "the most compelling" X-Men series "was definitely Hellions, which assembled the weirdest, most misfit mutants [...] and tried to find a place for them in paradise. From team leader Mr. Sinister's constant backstabbing to Psylocke's psychic swordplay, Hellions delivered one entertaining story after another until this month's 18th and final issue, which managed to wrap up all of its plot threads and put a cathartic capper on its various characters' quests for redemption". [43] Following issue #18, Lia Williamson of AIPT noted that "Hellions ends the series just as it began: it's emotional, it's weird, and it's delightful" with the final scene focused on a "touching moment between Kwannon and Greycrow, the emotional backbone of this series", which "ends the series on a hopeful note and quite frankly, a happy one". [44] Williamson viewed the series as "both the underdog and sleeper hit of the X-Men relaunch" – "now that the series has reached its conclusion, it's safe to say that it's the closest to perfect an X-Men series has been in the Krakoa era". [44]

Brandon Zachary for CBR commented that "each of the Hellions is arguably in a better place emotionally and mentally than where they were at the beginning of the series, even if some of their personal situations have become worse. [...] The Hellions represented the possibility that mutants could grow from their darker impulses and tendencies, and become better people. And while the team as it was constructed might be done, the concept was clearly a success". [45] In a retrospective at the end of the Krakoan Age, Scott Redmond for ComicsXF highlighted the Hellions as a stand out title. Redmond commented that the series "looked at how those that are broken, outcast, wrapped in darkness, fit into a so-called paradise. It was one of the first titles to really start to poke holes in the Krakoan system, that still was employing methods of punishment and control similar to the world they left behind. This series took characters that we should not want to even glance at and made them empathetic, funny, relatable, and came with heartbreak". [46]
