X-Men 2099

[hank-archive-animated]

Found yet another feral similar to Beast. Or is he Beast?

Introducing: Mongrel (Earth-928) from X-men 2099

First appeared on Issue #32 - #33 in the year of 1996

Written by: John Francis Moore

Mongrel bares a striking resemblance to Hank Mccoy. Making the readers think that he might have been related, he's a blue, furry Beast after all, with sharp teeth and protruding tusk. But he's not as nice as Mccoy, personality wise, he acts more like Logan, maybe with a bit of Apocalypse Sabretooth.

Hell, never mess with his vintage motorcycle.

Mongrel's described... well as a "Overbearing flea-bitten redneck." - Auntie Maim

The only difference between his and Beast's appearance is that Mongrel has jet black hair and red eyes. Or his entire eyes are just beady red, not sure why there's inconsistent coloring but perhaps there's just some artist and writer miscommunication.

Not much is known about him other than having a classic feral traits and resembling Mccoy or Callasantos. Xi'an made his own team of X-men and it's obviously not complete without a feral or two, unfortunately Mongrel doesn't have a healing factor like logan's or Hank's great strength and smarts (that we know of, at least.)

He was then captured and tortured by the villain chasing their tails. The Foolkiller.

Who, in one panel wore glove with a familiar set of claws like wolverine. Although it didn't show the villain using it in the next issues. (I apologize, only ten photos available on each tumblr post.)

Mongrel's shown to be quite sharp and tough yet he's a softy somewhere in that cold and gruff exterior. And obviously beloved by the team.

He also has a close relationship with the team leader, Xi'an Chi Xan. There's a panel of Xan reminiscing of their time together and that's all we have a glimpse of their friendship. It reminds me a bit of Scott and Hank's closeness in the earlier comics.

Here he is healing Mongrel.

Unfortunately, after he was saved. The story then... Forgot them somehow. He and the team lived but they weren't mentioned anymore and what might have happened to them, like how they managed to escape or what.

I wish the writers will come back and explore each and every one of the characters origins, especially Mongrel's.

Why does he look like Mccoy? What's his real name? His family tree? His past? How'd he become an outlaw? Why does he go by that alias?

But alas he'll forever be a character with unexplored mystery. I don't believe Marvel will explore X-men 2099 and these characters ever again.

But I appreciate underrated characters being shown. Even if we have so little of them.

BUT

He did appear once in.

2099: Manifest Destiny (1998) issue #1

Earth-96943

Where Steve Rogers recruited almost everyone to create a large team of heroes, and that includes the X-men of 2099. So we had moments of Xi'an too.

And of course, Mongrel. But barely.

(Panels are separated. I just have to fit pictures as many as I can.)

Unfortunately, the colorist must have mistaken Mongrel for another variant of Logan so he didn't appear blue.

I don't blame them. He looks like a mix between the two.

Or that is indeed another variant of Logan. I do not know, the comic has too much going on and is too overcrowded to look at. But judging from what I believe is a tusk under the oxygen mask. That might be or supposed to be Mongrel. Then again, it's better to read the comic for more context.

So, who do you Mongrel is? His history? Share your thoughts.

Obscure Marvel fancast of the day: Deborah Ayorinde as Krystalin aka Ruth Kirsten Porter-Ogada aka Krys Porter! Krystalin is from the “X-Men 2099″ alternate future, and is one of the titular X-Men of this timeline. Her mutant power is to create crystals from the air and shape them as she pleases, such as into weapons, shields, or a razor-sharp spray. Krystalin’s mother’s name is unknown, though presumably her last name was Porter. Her mother was a Thorite, that is, a member of the Church of Thor, a religion or cult in this timeline. Her father was Minister Andre Daniel Ogada of the New Wakandan Sons of the Panther movement, and she had a brother, Zakarii “Zak” Ogada. Her mother was a pacifist, while her father preached “Peace Through Strength”. He used the imagery and traditions of Wakanda to create the Soldiers of the Panther and bring peace and order to Oakland, rescuing them from the violence of the 2070s and working for the spiritual and economic reclamation of the city. Her father never approved of her mother’s faith or spiritual searchings, while her mother never accepted the “appropriation” of Wakandan tradition for his “street soldiers”. Due to this conflict, Krys’s left when Krys was young, taking the young Krys with her. Her mother died at some point during Krys’s youth, and Krys came to join the X-Men later, taking the codename Krystalin and going by Krys Porter as her civilian name. She returned home as an adult for her father’s funeral. Her brother and her continued their parents feud to a lesser degree, as Zak felt her allegiance should be to the Panthers, while Krys felt it should be to her fellow mutants. Krystalin seemed to be a middle ground between her parent’s philosophies, being willing to fight but always preferring to take the peaceful, more compassionate route. She had a good heart, and was a very reliable, trustworthy teammate, but also often unsure of herself. She typically preferred to provide support to her team, rather than charging in the lead herself, and was more a follower than a leader. However, she still had a mind of her own, and an extremely strong conscience. She’s probably my favorite of the X-Men 2099 team.
