An adorable new variant cover for the upcoming X-Terminators #1 showcases the epic all-female X-Men team consisting of Wolverine, Jubilee, Dazzler, and Boom Boom, at both their cutest and most explosive!
The name X-Terminators has a long history in the X-Men universe, dating back to the 1980s when the original 5 X-Men first used the team name after leaving the Xavier’s School when they were posing as mutant-hunters but were secretly collecting young mutants, including Boom Boom. Most recently used for a short-lasting team introduced in Cable Reloaded #1, the X-Terminators team introduced in X-Terminators #1 will be the first all-female version of the team, and the third iteration to include the explosive mutant Tabitha Smith, or Boom Boom.
All four of the powerful X-Women featured in X-Terminators are fan favorites, and while Wolverine and Jubilee have had some spotlights in the Destiny of X era in X-Men and Excalibur, this will be the first time in ages that Alison Blaire (Dazzler) and Boom Boom are featured prominently in an X-Book. All three of the main mutants featured, Dazzler, Boom Boom, and Jubilee, all have abilities that include explosions or pyrotechnics, a similarity that actually made Tabitha and Jubilation teenage rivals when they first met on the island of Genosha in the 1980s event X-Tinction Agenda. X-Terminators – written by Leah Williams (Trial of Magneto, X-Factor) with art by Carlos Gomez (Marvel UK Spectacular Spider-Man, America Chavez: Made In The USA) – focuses on the apparent kidnapping of Tabitha, Alison, and Jubilation, after Jubilee and Boom Boom take Dazzler out for a night on the town to cheer her up after a bad breakup. Laura Kinney, once known as X-23 and now going by Wolverine alongside her father Logan, goes on a mission to rescue the kidnapped mutants and all four end up trapped “elaborate death traps by a mysterious new army of enemies.”
