I think it'd be interesting.

My own golden rule when writing is to just go where the characters want to go--hence why I still don't know if Rupert is going to get better or worse, zealot-wise, after this plot line.

As an outsider lookin' at your characters... I would probably peg Abyss as the most likely one for reform. Even though I know you fight it, he's a great guy. And can you even imagine the look on those X-goodies' faces when he signs up for Home Ec classes?

I think that Abyss is definitely a sheep wrapped in wolves' clothing. Out of your three characters he seems to be the most good, even if he is loyal to his baddie organization. (And hey, there's nothing wrong with a goodie having baddie friends, right?)

I could also see Shrapnel going good though. It sort of seems like he was basically raised to be a killer and has never had an opportunity to see things from the other side of the fence. If he joined the X-squad, even if he slipped up and killed someone every now and then he'd fit right in with the rest of the almost-goodies-who-are-sometimes-violent.

Sounds like a hint to my dear sister Deathstar.

I haven't dealt with Shrapnel so I can probably say that if you want to reform him then go for it.

As for Abyss...I kind of agree that he's a big mean looking softy. If Abyss were to defect to the X-men then Syn would probably take it really hard and it may have a dramatic effect on her.
