Northstar in X-men #200?

[Ahab]

Did anyone get this? Does he show up?

[varo]

nope. no northstar.

I picked this up today as well. No northstar. I have not read X-Men in some 2 years now so i was a wee bit confused. But it seemed pretty intense. Ill give the next part a try.

[firestar]

just finished. nice issue. a bit too long, very "intense", and i don't like ramos at all. i don't like the plot, too, for now...we'll see.
I was shoked by the final panel of "endangered species".... well done!

[rplass]

In the Endangered Species portion of the book, there's a panel showing a battle from the House of M. I see a character with pointy ears wearing a House of M uniform: might it be Northstar?

It could be him. Remember we did see Sasquatch in issue #6.

and compare that to a larger view of the House of M scene:

and cropped, reversed in mirror image and set apposed to the Endangered Species image:

So maybe Sasquatch and Northstar were fighting on the same team in these two issues and both of those guys getting kicked in the head is Northstar. I think that's Northstar in both images.

Anyone agree? disagree?

That second one looks to me like Silhouette, though she doesn't have pointed ears.

Did she still use crutches in House of M? Did she appear in House of M?

Peter: Aww things were going so good for me and Stewie, but now he hates me again. Brian, what should I do to win him back?
Brian: That depends. Do you want my advice or are you just asking random questions again?
Peter: What's a hypotenuse?

I thought the original one was Fatale at the time.
Definitely looks female to me, but who knows.
Someone ask Bendis/Copiel sometime :D

Haha, I say it's Northstar a male caucasian with pointy ears seen in House of M in uniform in another issue, two other members say:

Silhouette http://www.coreyblake.com/nwcc/resources/headshots/Silhead.gif

and

Fatale http://www.geocities.com/rplass/fatale.jpg

1) Not even a guy
2) African-American or
3) Green-skinned
4) Characters not seen in House of M
5) Characters not drawn with pointy ears (usually, since Fatale is a shape-changer, but usually she is not drawn with pointy ears). Note: the cover for Night Thrasher #4 shows a nice 3/4 profile of Silhouette with rounded ears

What a difference of opinion!

Okay, well, Northstar was seen in uniform in a House of M book: The New X-Men Academy X #16:

and neither Fatale nor Silhouette were in any House of M book and that person getting kicked in the face is a guy and has pointy ears and is next to Sasquatch in one image and is probably caucasian but the coloring in the HoM#6 image is a bit verdant, but anyway I say it's Northstar.

When I look at one of the wide shots (the second), I can see that it's a guy.

I was concentrating on the close-ups:

Where it does look female.
Sil is half black, half Asian. Ooh, and look at her shoulders; the same black with yellow striped shoulder pads.
I always thought the ears were a flaw in my reasoning.


2) African-American or

Seen pics of Michael Jackson or Halle Berry lately? ;)
I mean, the uniform this being is wearing has a yellow chest in one pic, black in another.


4) Characters not seen in House of M

Objection! Relevance.
ie: This may be their only HoM appearance (and I still think I thought I saw Sil somewhere in there.
