In 2001 writer
Brian Wood had developed a concept of the series for Marvel with artist
David Choe that was to launch Marvel's
MAX imprint. The on-going series, focusing on the characters and how their powers affect their lives, friends and family, was to star
Gambit,
Rogue, and
Jubilee, as well as Angie and Purge, two new characters Wood had created for the series.
After Marvel, apparently deeming it not suitable for their audience, aborted the project (resulting in some very impolite comments about Marvel's Editor-in-Chief Joe Quesada by David Choe
), Wood used parts of this concept for his series
Demo.
