Multiversal March Madness: Marvel’s House Of M Vs. 90’s Era X-Men

Like we explained in our opening post (where you can vote on different battles), we’re leaving to you to choose the winners in our own cross-company tournament. We’re in throwing in a nifty secret prize for the players with a winning bracket. But enough chit-chat. It’s time to get in the super-powered paint with the first round’s combatants. 

The Monarchy of M (House of M) Vs. Westchester (X-Men: The Animated Series/Nineties Era)

Stats: The Monarchy of M is what the Marvel Universe would look like if everybody in it,mostly Magneto, got their heart’s desire…at least as Scarlet Witch understands it. Mutants now dominate the planet, with Magneto’s family – the House of M – elevated to royalty. Wolverine runs S.H.I.E.L.D., Spider-Man is popular and married to Gwen Stacey, and Cyclops and Emma Frost lived happily ever after. Unfortunately, humans are on their way to extinction.

Advantage: Mutants at the height of their power.


Disadvantage: Not exactly the egalitarian society Professor X dreamed of.

Westchester (X-Men: The Animated Series/Nineties Era)

Stats: The dream of the ’90s is alive in Westchester. Many modern X-Men fans were introduced to Marvel’s merry mutants through the animated series that aired on Fox, from 1992-1997. Using the popular character designs of Jim Lee, and a lineup resembling the fan favorite Blue Team, the cartoon gave modern takes on classic X-Men storylines like “The Dark Phoenix Saga,” “Days of Future Past,” and “The X-Tinction Agenda.”

Advantage: Mutants at the height of their popularity.


Disadvantage: The ’90s did not exactly age well.

Will pouches prevail, or will Magneto’s dream proceed to the next round? Decide in the poll below!
