Deadpool 2 Mutants Roll Call

While there was just three well-known mutants highlighted in Deadpool, it looks like FOX upped the anty with ore mutants. Not only X-Men this time but what looks like X-Force. Deadpool is determined to save a boy Russell from time-traveling Cable gets in the way. Everyone already knows Cable, son of Scott Summers from the comics so here are some more...

Domino

Domino (Zazie Beetz) has the power to change probability. It seems like a strange power at first but it's proven useful to Domino in combat, giving her unparalleled marksman abilities (She never misses) and helps her get out of most situations unharmed. In the comics, Domino is the result of a government breeding program like several others in the X-Men universe. After escaping the program, Domino became a mercenary, working with a group called Six Pack, until she eventually joins the X-Force. Deadpool 2 has changed her ethnicity, hence changing her well known eye makeup. 

Bedlam

Bedlam (Terry Crews--Brooklyn Nine-Nine) has bioelectric abilities that allow him to disrupt and affect electrical systems. He's also trained in hand-to-hand combat. Jesse Bedlam is one half of the X-Men comic's Bedlam brothers. After being orphaned, Jesse is separated from his brother Christopher, placed in a psychiatric hospital, and tortured. He is eventually rescued by Professor X and placed on a mutant task force called M.U.S.E. Later, Bedlam teams up with Domino to track down his brother, then joins Christopher's mutant team New Hellions, and finally switches to join the X-Force to stop Christopher from reviving Armageddon Man.

Negasonic Teenage Warhead and Yoiki/Surge (?)

The Negasonic Teenage Warhead (Brianna Hildebrand) we see in the first Deadpool movie is different than the one seen in the comics. In the movie, Negasonic works with Colossus, using her explosive powers to help Deadpool rescue Vanessa. In the comic books, Negasonic Teenage Warhead has telepathic powers and dies a lot. Negasonic can bee seen wearing X-Men gear in the trailer for the sequel. She is also seen accompanied by a pink hair mutant by the name of Yoiki (Shioli Kutsuna). It is said she is her girlfriend. She electrifies her metal chain in the trailer. Some sources say she is based on Surge, an obscure Japanese X-Men who manifests electricity-based powers.

Shatterstar

Shatterstar (Lewis Tan) has superhuman strength, speed, agility, durability, healing, and more. He can also generate bioelectric shocks, which channels into objects, most often a sword he carries. This ability makes Shatterstar an especially powerful fighter. Shatterstar is a mutant created by bio-engineering in another dimension called Mojoworld, where he is an enslaved fighter. After escaping, Shatterstar tasks himself with defeating Mojo V, the ruler of Mojoworld. In his quest, he meets Cable and joins the X-Force after he is assured that the team will help him defeat Mojo.

Zeitgeist

Zeitgeist (Bill Skarsgard--Pennywise from It and brother of Alexander Skarsgard) has the power to spit acidic vomit from his mouth, which can burn through any substance in the world. In the comics, Zeitgeist is a leader in the X-Force team. After becoming dissatisfied with the team, he plans a mission that will kill most of the members of the X-Force but it goes awry and Zeitgeist is eventually killed himself.

Russell/Firefist (?)

Footage showed that Russell (Julian Dennison) has pyrokinetic abilities, meaning he can control and create fire out of his hands. Some fans believe this kid could be Russell “Rusty” Collins, the mutant also known as Firefist. Other mutants were guessed to be but ultimately Firefist seems to be the closet character.

Dream Casting: New Mutants

Rumors are 20th Century Fox wants to adapt the Marvel comics "New Mutants." "New Mutants" is an extension of X-Men, Like its parent title, It featured a large ensemble cast, including the introduction of Deadpool. With the end of the first series, the characters were relaunched as X-Force in a new series. Sunspot was one of the main characters, he was played by Adan Canto in X-Men: Future Days of Past. 

Wolfsbane

A female werewolf. Pretty much can be played by any actress but I think someone like Shailene Woodley like Willow Shields of Hunger Games can handle it. Rahne was a shy emotionally repressed girl. She's 16 but I guess she will be of age once the movie is made.

Cypher

Doug Ramsey is a mutant with the ability to easily understand any language, whether verbal or written. He later forms a relationship with Wolfsbane. Even one form of Legion had a crush on him. I was thinking of Ross Lynch from Austin & Ally.

 Cannonball

Sam Guthrie is a mutant who uses the ability to fly at jet speeds while encased in an impenetrable force field. Austin Butler who has been in Switched At Birth and The Shannara Chronicles

Karma

Karma is a mutant endowed with the ability to seize control of another's mind, though she has sometimes been depicted with other more extensive psionic abilities. Maybe Ardan Cho from Teen Wolf. She can make an audience feel. 

Mirage

Danielle Moonstar originally possessed the psionic/psychic ability to telepathically create illusions of her opponents' fears or wishes. She later developed a wide range of psionic and energy manipulation powers. Since she is Native-American and there aren't many popular actrsses that fit that discription, I imagine this would be a newcomer. 

Chamber

Was part of Generation X and New Warriors but I like this character so much I would squeeze him into New Mutants to replace Sunspot. Jonothon Starsmore possessed the ability to cast energy blasts from his chest. He had limited control of his power and destroyed much of his chest and lower face when his powers emerged. They did a Generation X TV Movie in the 90's and he was not in it because the special effets were not up to par back then. The special effects could definitely be done now. Thomas Barbusca od Preacher and Middle School is young but he again will be of age by the time the movie is made. 

Different versions of X-Men in the X-films

There is a sore spot in fans (including me) but depending on the producer, director or casting director, different mutants have showed up in the various X-Men films played by different actors. My problem isn't that they are played by different actors but the portrayal of them conflict and there's no continuity. Now, even one character has appeared in three films played by different actresses and time periods. I'm not counting Professor Charles Xavier (Patrick Stewart/James Mcavoy), Magento (Ian Mckellen/Michael Fassbender), Mystique (Rebecca Romajin/Jennifer Lawrence), Cyclops (James Marsden/Tye Sheridan), Jean Grey (Framke Jensen/Sansa Stark), Storm (Halle Berry/Alexandra Shipp) and Nightcrawler (Alan Cumming/Kodi Smit-Mcphee)  as actors are playing them at different ages. Tim Pocock also played a young Cyclops in X-Men Origins: Wolverine but thankfully Days of Future Past canceled that out. 

Jubilee

In X-Men (2000), she has a non-speaking role by Katrina Floerce and is a teenager. In X-2, she is played by Kea Wong. She is mistankingly put on IMDB as appearing in X-Men: Last Stand but it as actually Psylocke. She was a teenager in the 2000's. But then because of the time-travel change, Jubilee's parents might have her earlier because she magically appears as a teenager in the 80's. Unless she was a twenty-something in the 2000's. In the new X-Men: Apocalypse film, Lana Condor plays her. The excuse with other characters like Psylocke, Angel and Sabertooth was that other directors directed those movies they were in but Bryan Singer directed all the movies she is in. I guess she didn't have a major role in the first 2 movies, it is excusable. 

Kitty Pryde

In X-Men, she had a quick cameo played by Sumela Kay and went through a door, startling Wolverine. In X-2, she was played Katie Stuart and tried escaping from Stiker's forces. In X-Men: Last Stand and Days of Future Past, Ellen Page played her in bigger roles than in the first two movies. 

Psylocke

Psylocke had a minor role by Mei Melancon in X-Men: The Last Stand and was a villain and destroyed. Now she is portrayed by Olivia Munn in X-Men: Apocalypse. She is slightly older than her first incarnation and since she wasn't mentioned by name in the movies, it is excusable. It could've been a different mutant completely. 

Angel

Warren Worthington was portrayed by Ben Foster in X-Men: The Last Stand who appeared in the beginning and sparingly throughout the movie. He is now slightly younger in X-Men: Apocalypse played by Ben Hardy. The Worthingtons probably also got busy before they originally did because of the time schism. 

Deadpool

Ryan Reynolds played him in Wolverine: Origins (2009) and then in Deadpool (2016). No one liked his portrayal in the first movie and he fought for the role again and now everyone love the new movie he plays the character like in the comics.

 Gambit

 Taylor Kitsch played Remy LeBeau in X-Men Origins: Wolverine, he will now be portrayed by Channing Tatum in a new movie.

Sabertooth

Liev Schreiber played Sabertooth in X-Men Origins: Wolverine as Logan's brother. While Tyler Mane played him in the first X-Men movie. Ugh, let's just ignore both. 

Moira MacTaggert

Played by in a small role in X-Men: Last Stand, she was a doctor how she was in the comics. But played by Rose Byrne in X-Men: First Class and X-Men: Apocalypse as a spy and ally. She is not a mutant but a vital character. Little confusing as she is the same age in the 70's as in 2006, probably not the same character.

My Idea/Dream Casting: Young Avengers TV Series

With Jessica Jones and Daredevil doing really well on Netflix and ABC's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. and Agent Carter not pleasing fans, I see more opportunity for TV series from Marvel. My idea is the popular comic Young Avengers, young superheroes that are sort of inspired by the adult Avengers. I'm not the only one thinking this: http://www.mtv.com/news/1715617/new-marvel-tv-show-ideas/

Plot:

Superpowered teens team up and defeat a villain but one of the Avengers come in and confiscate their stuff and threaten to tell their parents. The Young Avengers save the day and prove themselves to the Avenger. In the comics, it was Iron Man and Captain America. But if this will be on TV, they can either go with Jeremy Renner (Hawkeye) or even Nick Fury (Samuel L Jackson). Most dream casts online have included Iron Lad or Spider-Woman but I decided to steer clear to it and focus on the power couple of Wiccan and Hulkling. 

Teddy Altman/Hulking

Description: Hulking in the comics is the hybrid offspring of a Kree/Skrull mating. Hulking is usually easygoing, polite and respectful, and only really loses his temper after extreme provocation.While he sometimes adopts an aggressive persona to intimidate when ’Hulked-up‘, he rarely actually gets angry, usually only at serious threats to those close to him, particularly Wiccan. 

Powers: His shapeshifting abilities allow him to impersonate others, alter parts of his body or add entirely new abilities. He can add claws, extend his reach, create body armor, or grow wings. 

Dream Cast Actor: My dream casting would be Peyton Meyer (Lucas in "Girl Meets World") who is still a teenager and has that 'awe shucks' appeal. 

Billy Kaplan/Wiccan 

Description: Regularly bullied in school because of his homosexuality. While patterning himself after Thor in the guise of 'Asgardian,' he flew and did lightning based spells. By stating an intent and focusing on the outcome,  In the comics, he is linked to Scarlet Witch but if they can't get the actress for the show, they can cut that out or allude to it like CBS' Supergirl has done with Superman. Billy is generally even-tempered, except when Hulkling is in serious trouble. While he’s still easily rattled in combat, he generally keeps a cool head, and can get irritated by Hulkling’s impulsiveness.

Powers: Wiccan is capable of mass teleportation, telepathy, telekinesis, portal creation, clairvoyance, mind control, pyrokinesis, telekinetic force beams and etc.

Dream Cast Actor: Keir Gilchrist of United States of Tara and It Follows, many fans have agreed he would be a perfect fit. 

Kate Bishop/Hawkeye

Description: She is the sort-of co-leader of the Young Avengers for a time in the comics, I say in my imagination of the TV series she is the active leader. To avoid confusion, I might just refer her to as Kate. Kate comes from a rich family and is not comfortable with it. Self-confident and forthright, Kate can be outspoken, and has no hesitation about standing up to anyone. If she believes them to be wrong she will just ignore their advice as soon as they’re out of sight.

Powers: Kate is highly skilled at archery, fencing, swordsmanship, jujitsu, boxing, and other forms of combat. She carries two battle staves similar to those once used by Mockingbird, a sword similar to the Swordsman's, as well as Clint Barton's bow and arrows. In the comics, Black Panther had also supplied her with trick arrows.

Dream Cast Actor: Sarah Hayley Orrantia of the Goldbergs (Erica Goldberg), she is also a singer/songwriter, having been on the show "X Factor." She is hilarious on the show. 

 Tommy Shepard/Speed

Description: In the comics, the team find him in a high-powered facility in Springfield that Kate initially describes as "just juvie", though the facility and its staff are equipped with advanced offensive and defensive technology such as robotic suits and power dampening containment cells. Tommy is there because he "accidentally" vaporized his school. When they release him from his cell, it is immediately noted that Tommy, a white-haired speedster, bears a striking resemblance to Billy ("twin-like") and Quicksilver, sharing the latter's hair color and similar abilities. In fact, spoiler alert: they are indeed brothers.

Powers: Speed is a mutant with the power to move and accelerate at speeds far beyond those of normal human beings. His physiology is designed to move at high speeds which also grants him superhuman reflexes, agility, and durability. 

Dream Cast Actor: Thomas McDonell plays Finn in "The 100", he was the bad boy in Disney's Prom and has appeared on shows like "Suburgatory" and "Law & Order: Criminal Intent." 

Ms. America/America Chavez

Description: A Latin-American LGBT teenager named America Chavez was raised by her mothers in the Utopian Parallel, a dimension out of time and in the presence of the Demiurge. In the comics, America's mothers sacrificed themselves to seal the black holes pulling Utopia into the Multiverse resulting in their particles being smeared across the Multiverse itself. She is quite a tough independent staunch personality and disposition, and has independent sass and anger issues in Young Avengers,

Powers: She appears to have inherited or absorbed some or all of her superpowers from the Demiurge's ambient magical presence. She possesses superhuman strength and move at super speeds, and the power of flight. Chavez also has the power to kick open holes in reality, allowing her and her teammates to travel through the multiverse and into other dimensions. 

Dream Cast Actress: Cierra Ramirez from The Fosters on Freeform (ABC Family). 

Stature/Cassandra Lang

Description: Even though she appeared in Ant-Man film as a little girl, we don't know exactly where this series can take place. So either it is made a few years later or takes place years in the future. The show could have interesting daddy issues sub-plot if they manage to get Paul Rudd to guest star. 

Powers: Cassie Lang has the ability to increase and decrease her size. Her abilities seemed to be fueled by her emotions. She grows when she gets angry and shrinks when she feels guilty. 

Dream Cast Actress: Skyler Samuels from Scream Queens
