Here's the review:

X-Men: Deadly Genesis LS #5

FIRST LOOK from IGN:

[Mikey]

the battle between Cyclops and Vulcan should be absolutely moot because their powers should cancel each others out

[genetiX]

the fact that they will probably cancel eachother out will probably prove that Vulcan is Cyclops brother

[Siemgi]

It's not sure. For instance, Scarlet Witch's powers do work on Quicksilver while they're twins. While Banshee and Black Tom's powers cancel each other but they're cousins.

[northstar]

Plus Vulcan has already ised his powers on Scott in issue one. Its not an exact science might be because Vulcan manioulates energy rather than absorb it like Scott and Alex do.

Vulcan has some form of a telepathic secondary mutation at this time. He was able to shut down scott's energy blasts. Maybe he can shut down the "summers brother's immunity to the energy blast of another summers brother" power.

[Jakeus Legend]

Specualtion also points to him having absorbed the powers of the other members of the Muir Island team, so he may possibly have other methods to beat Cyclops.

Again, it isn't sure. He could be immune but he also could not. Only time will tell.

I'm gonna buy the  telepathic angle thing,  though I hope it's not one of those crapy secondary mutations. sorry but i'm tiered ot them.   I'm hoping it is  alot more  Like   the mutant Shriek(from the Spider man comic's) power. 

she has and absorbs  empathic energy and turn's it in to sonic blast's  from her hand and it allow's her to  tape into people darker emotion's (fears, anger, hate), making them act in violent and evil manners. She can also use her powers to fly and to levitate objects/people, as if she has weak psionic abilities. In fact, that would explain her  empathic darkness powers as she calls it  as well . 

It's kind like the way I think gambit's power's funtion/methodology wise.  As to how/what  he use's  to recharge him self also when not using that telempathic charm as he calls it , to attract women or just mess with some one's head.  it's what I think he used for his powercharging/ detonation power's. plus we have seen he can do far more, which why he's  suspected as omega mutant. ETC.    I alway's like that theory of mine.. 

That's why  I'm   buying that because. magneto's power's  can easyly manipulate energy's that are heat base like havok. and cyclop's isn't Effected by that. as shown very often from when the savage land mutates were made. 

Since it's more Exotic then other's. it's kinda like dark  star's dark force energy. mag's  is not able to stop it.  all mag's can do is make a thick  force field to shield him self from it.  so the telepathic angle I'll buy.  It make's more sense.

Just wondering...
would scotts and alexs powers work on sunspot?
sunspots p wers are also solar generated and he can produce plasma blasts
isn't that why scott and alex are immune to eachothers powers? because they just soak up eachothers plasma blasts?
for a second there I thought sunspot was going to be the third summers brother

[zenith16]

scotts power isn't plama base. he absorbs solar/ambient  energy( like storms lighting since it's a plama) to fuel his power. But that's it.  The only reason alex has the canceling factor is one cause (1 he's related to him and  (2  he was carried by scott when  scott's power activated, to save his little brother alex.  that may have  been a  cause factor there.   

The only thing you can say is that it's possabe for scott and alex to covert  and invert, channel and rechannel their power's the same way sunspot can.  To super strenght, flight and stemina etc. So there's  indeed an up for energy manpulator's like them.  Or they should be energy manipulators. It's been shown slightly in the past in certain issues.

 The problem is no one want's  to develop them cause some one  keep's putting the  jerk factor on them. when ever some progression is started to a degree some other person that takes over comes and Ruins the character all over again by making act like an a$$ hole in an out of character way and bam. it's over.

 and those writer's  that acutally  have good Idea's and can make good story's,  for these two character's  to actually grow in character progression and power, and help boost sale to the marvel line  get turned off on the character., After they see that. Guess what it's not the character's fault.  their ink blame the guy with pen writing the  story making you get turned off with them doing something a$$ hole  like.  but any ways.   which is usually out of character for them, if you seen how they act prior.
 

any ways, We've seen. Roberto " bobby" Decosta aka sunspot's dad  already.  That look's alot like him.  So no one will buy the summer's thing on sunspot. seeing he's a black mixed latino.  It's really unlikly. and there will be too much up roar. not cause his black.

But because  his origin is  simple and complete already from the begining. and should be left alone.   He has his own fan base. and his fan's will tear apart who ever messed with it. so don't please.
  
Beside's   as shown by the dicovery channel  lighting is plasma base too. and scott has been shown to absorb lighting and Electricity when sunlight's not avliable to him.   

Does that make storm (who he's absorb lighting from more then once) or Crystal of the inhumans a summers too?
 most would say no and they'd be right.  And I'm sure the fan's of those characters would  beat down the fool that resently would  stupidly make that so.

So  lets hope there's no one's that   dimwitted to mess with their origins as well. 

[CharleyX]

This had a great ending!!!! Decent throughout, but the shots of Xavier were my fave.

Also, looking back, is it possible that ONLY Cyclops's mind was wiped? What if the four never met the original team on Krakoa? Only Scott would ever have known about them... that would make Xavier's actions slightly easier to accomplish (no need to worry about the minds of the original team halfway across the world), if no less difficult to absolve.

The backstory was neat - first Emma as a dancer, then Charles trying to recruit her, then setting the precedent for the mindwipe.

[Siemgi]

Emma has entered Hellfire as a dancer. She then manage to make her way to the White Queen position by making everybody think she was great. Morrison said it in Murder at the Mansion part 1.

[genetiX]

the cited this issue as the one where the third summers brother was going to be revealed.......but they really didnt do that. I still thought it was a great issue but i thought that pt5 was going to be Vulcans story, then pt. 6 big fight against him.......
i just hope that the series doent end with a wimper by just telling his origin.....i also want to know what happened to the lost team and stuff.......but in the time itll take to tell that will there be room for action? because for the most part thats what this hes been lacking....theres been alot of good development and psychodrama but time for action is now..

[zenith16]

their still skiping the insane asylume that emma went through. well I'm never gonna accept part on the over writing on emma's past or the fact that she met banshee as kid when he was beat cop in new york. 

 NXM is still crap for the over writing.  sorry every one.  but that was still possable to assimulate it  in that  part of her history and  that was the original better story. and  it was still less convoluted. all thank to NXM it is now. next to other things which I still meet other people that dio see that as well.   but oh well.
