Don't be that type of comic nerdTechnically he's not a Summers still. He's their half brother on their mother's side.
As punishment read all the Legion comics and give me a powerpoint on their timeline and how the three legions compare and contrast

Timeline wise however he is the 4th brother as the flashbacks in Deadly Genesis happen before the events of this comic.Excuse me Slayven but please fix your thread title claiming that Adam X the X-Treme is the fourth Summers brother. He is canonically the third brother discovered, as this comic takes place at the time Fabian Nicieza was writing the main X-Men books.
Adam X the X-Treme is the third Summers brother. Vulcan is the fourth.
I am actually quite, quite happy they came up with some bullshit sci-fi excuse for Adam's birth rather than the more horrific reality that was sort of implied through his existence over the years.
We need Gambit to be the fifth Summers brother so Marvel can write the book about them becoming a basketball team and hooping against Marvel's other great quintets. The finale being them versus five random Cyclops kids who want revenge.

I liked his intended origin of being Mr. Sinister's (then supposed to be an eternal child who thought his name and outfit were legitimately cool and threatening) ideal cool badass alter ago who got to hook up with Rogue.
LOL Your head can spin thinking about this. You're right in terms of publication history (Deadly Genesis 2006 vs. X-Men Legends 2021) but if you go by when the stories are supposed to take place, Adam X's revelation (~1994) is supposed to be years before Gabriel (2006 (and that's the revelation, not when the 'hidden team' went to Krakoa)). Fabian and Marvel used to be so good about just saying "brothers" - I wished they kept to that because the press to this year's XML using "Summers brother" is very confusing. Otherwise you could look at it as Adam is the third brother (chronologically) but Gabriel is the third SUMMERS brother.
I much prefer this too. No more intermingling Gambit with the Summers. His intended (but abandoned) origin was way cooler. And Claremont trying to fit him in (in X-Men: The End) was 1) to service fan theories and 2) to momentarily take advantage of the fact that Fabian didn't get to finish his Adam X storyline leaving the dangling "brothers" slip by Sinister.
But as a longtime X-reader, I found this story very satisfying. Also, PLEASE just give him a healing factor! Having your brain in your ass cheek makes no sense science-wise/anatomically lol. :)
Wait What!!! Does, or did Rogue know!?! What the fuck!I liked his intended origin of being Mr. Sinister's (then supposed to be an eternal child who thought his name and outfit were legitimately cool and threatening) ideal cool badass alter ago who got to hook up with Rogue.
That storyline never went through, so it's not a thing. Gambit's original origin was supposed to be and assumed to be a lot of things, like a long lost Summers, a modified Sinister clone, and so on.
Except the Hidden Team rescued Cyclops and it was revealed to Scott that Gabriel was his brother, and much like Adam X it was erased from his mind.
Talking strictly timeline of events in canon, not the publication history.
The first appearence of Comet the super horse?
Nah the Marvel Comic Human Fly #1.
Always remember.As I submitted my post I thought about going back and editing because you're right - just based on pure chronological history (never mind publication dates) Gabriel comes first because at least Xavier and Scott realize he's a Summers brother pre-Giant Size X-Men #1 (regardless if Deadly Genesis takes place years later post House of M). I stand corrected on that point.
Just make a Summers comic at this point with the entire family as the team.
