The 2nd Ben Raab Interview
Rahsas: So, what's the verdict on Excalibur?
BRaab1013: There's been no verdict yet.
Rahsas: So it's not etched in stone to be cancelled in 125?
BRaab1013: If I've learned anything from working with Marvel is that nothing's etched in stone.
Rahsas: Will Sabra join the team?
BRaab1013: She was going to, but we decided to just have her appear in one issue.
Rahsas: Oh, what about the London Hellfire Club? Are they going to have more team battles with Excalibur in the future? Will see more of their personality being fleshed out in the pages of Excalibur?
BRaab1013: wanted to keep the cast smaller for a bit, including her would be counter-productive to that I'd like to do that at some point... also hoping to still write that HELLFIRE CLUB limited series that was shelved so we could do the New Mutants LS.
Rahsas: Is Wisdom leaving the team, I heard that Marvel Vision said something to that effect?
BRaab1013: Yes. He's leaving in #120
Rahsas: Is Kitty leaving for college, if so, what college?
BRaab1013: She'll discuss going to college...but it hasn't been decided where she'll go just yet. She's getting that bug to be around more kids her own age....we'll see how she acts on it...
Rahsas: Where you guys ever thinking of merging X-Factor and Excalibur together as one title?
BRaab1013: nope...the thought never once crossed our minds.
Rahsas: Is their going to be a Legacy Virus crossover in the summer?
BRaab1013: not that I know of...
Rahsas: What were the Red King's powers? (from the London Hellfire Club)
BRaab1013: The swordsman?
Rahsas: yeah
BRaab1013: To be honest, I don't think he had any.... at least, they were never really shown in action (far as I remember...haven't read that in a while).
Rahsas: All I know is that his sword glowed a strange yellow-orange color.
BRaab1013: Well, then I guess it was energy-based. I didn't create the character, so if it wasn't stated what his powers were, I couldn't really be sure...
Rahsas: I heard that Nightcrawler becomes sneaker, planting a human spy in Friend os Humanity. And, this spy will inform F.O.H. that Sebastion Shaw is a mutant, thus putting one enemy against another. Is this true?
BRaab1013: Well, it was supposed to happen...but no... we're doing something else now -- but it still involves Nightcrawler making some serious/questionable decisions....
