Wonder when we're going to see him again? He was one of my favorite characters from the Renegades-era Harbinger stories and I miss the little sh!t.

I would suspect him to pop up at some point during Imperium, although he could be dormant for awhile as we've seen with the Geomancer and the H.A.R.DCorps

He did? I guess I wasn't paying attention. Time to read those issues again.

Edit: Just checked, indeed there's a mention of @x, I am gonna presume that the monster was being controlled by @x.

VH1 Ax was quite enamored with the idea of cybernetics. He also would later steal the Blood of Heroes from Bloodshot (as shown in Rai #0) on the moon IIRC. It wouldn't surprise me to see VEI @x (perhaps in collusion with Silk) modify himself through various means to still be alive in 4001.

I think @x was a great character. I would also like to see him again in Imperium.

While I did like Ax in X-O, he was far better in Bloodshot, where he could have done some sizable harm to Angelo

Hmmm… he might be different enough from his VH1 counterpart to give his first appearance in VEI another look
If you're not a *SQUEE*, you're okay with me.

Just quit drawing @x so he looks like Kris. Until I read Harbinger 21, I thought Pete and a really badly drawn Kris were on the cover. facepalm Turns out it was @x.

As I've stated in another post (summer event 2015, I think it was ) - I would love to see @x form part of the Harbinger: New Renegades book (if I keep talking about enough, I might be able to convince myself it will happen :hope: ) alongside Faith and Archer with 1 or 2 new members we're yet to see.

In terms of @x 4001 in Rai #1 and #2, he looked to be a very cool character but Rai pretty much ended him didn't he (will need to go back and re-read)?

Don't know anything about @x prior to VEI.

Thinking about this a little more - is @x a character that would fit into the 'back-of-house' needs of Unity? He could be the covert secret hacker who identifies threats for Unity or assist them with computer tech behind the scenes while the 'heroes' undertake the assignments?

Don't know - just throwing ideas out there...

I loved the scene in TOV when Faith told the team he was basically in lust with her...

Art by Clayton Henry. All of his characters have big foreheads. Just happens that he has drawn the bulk of those two characters' appearances, I think.
If you're not a *SQUEE*, you're okay with me.
