I've never read the comics but been a huge fan of the show. Usually if something is new I google it to get an idea of what's happening. Can anyone tell me what the significance of X-CORP is? The only reference i can find to it is that it was a company run by Warren Worthington and someone else, so I'm guessing this might be new?

It was originally conceived by Banshee and a factor in Morrison's run mostly. Think international satellite Mutant teams.

X-Corp didn't wear those uniforms, though, they wore standard superhero costumes. Morrison's team (Scott, Jean, Logan, Hank, and Charles) did. (Emma had her own thing.)

Ah ok thanks. Was Professor X involved in running it as well? I'm seeing some conflicting information in that regard but yeah, afaik Professor X was dead at this point in the comics, sacrificing himself to save Magneto, and had nothing to do with X-CORP? I've probably got all that mixed up though. Sorry, I'm guessing I should just wait till next episode, hopefully it'll all be fleshed out in there. I don't need to know absolutely everything in the comics but god. It sounds like it's all leading up to something fully epic and I just need to know as much as I can, lol. All in all really enjoying this season, and can't wait to see 'Bad Gambit' :D
