'''''NYX''''' is a [[limited series]] of [[American comic book|comic books]] by [[Marvel Comics]], consisting of seven issues, published between [[2003 in comics|2003]] and [[2005 in comics|2005]].<ref name="comicbookdb">[http://comicbookdb.com/title.php?ID=114 Comic Book DB]</ref> It is written by [[Joe Quesada]] with art by [[Joshua Middleton]] (issues #1–4) and [[Rob Teranishi]] (issues #5–7). The acronym ''NYX'' stands for [[District X]], [[New York City]], as seen in the [[return address]] of a letter sent in the last issue of the series. |
|||
The series was abruptly canceled in [[2005 in comics|2005]] but as of April [[2008 in comics|2008]] a new series had been announced to be in production. |
|||
The '''United States Cavalry''' is a mounted force of the [[United States Army]] that originated in 1776, during the [[Revolutionary War]]. The role of the U.S. Cavalry is reconnaissance, security and mounted assault, and the Cavalry has served as a part of the Army force in every war the United States has participated in. The Cavalry has its origins and traditions as a [[horse]]-mounted force which played an important role in extending [[United States|American]] governance into [[American west|western North America]]. |
|||
The series is about a group of homeless teenage [[Mutant (Marvel comics)|mutants]] in [[New York City]] and featured the [[first appearance|first comic book appearance]] of [[X-23]], a character originally created for the ''[[X-Men: Evolution]]'' cartoon. |
|||
Immediately preceding [[World War II]], the U.S. Cavalry began transitioning to a mounted, mechanized force. During World War II, the Army's cavalry units operated as either horse-mounted, mechanized, or dismounted forces (infantry). The last horse-mounted cavalry charge by a U.S. Cavalry unit took place on the [[Bataan Peninsula]], in the [[Philippines]]. The [[26th Cavalry Regiment]] of the [[Philippine Scouts]] executed the charge against Japanese forces near the village of Morong on 16 January 1942.<ref>Shortly after, the besieged, combined United States-Philippine force was forced to slaughter their horses for food and the 26th Regiment continued to fight on foot until their surrender.</ref> The mounted reconnaissance company of the 10th Mountain Division, while not designated as U.S. Cavalry, conducted the last horse-mounted charge of any Army organization in 1945, in [[Austria]].{{cn}} |
|||
==Publication history== |
|||
The Cavalry Branch was replaced by the Armor Branch as part of the Army Reorganization Act of 1950. The [[Vietnam War]] saw the introduction of helicopters and operations as an airborne force referred to as ''Air Cavalry''. Cavalry designations and traditions continue with regiments of both armor and aviation units that continue the cavalry mission. The [[1st Cavalry Division (United States)|1st Cavalry Division]] is the only division of the Army that has a cavalry designation. The division maintains a detachment of horse-mounted cavalry for ceremonies and morale purposes. |
|||
Throughout its publication, there were often long delays between issues of ''NYX'' (Quesada had always been late with scripts, causing issues to ship late, then Middleton left the book after issue #4 and new penciler Teranishi reportedly broke his hand after finishing his first issue). Quesada himself was the target of much criticism for the delays particularly, as the Editor-In-Chief of Marvel, he was setting a bad and unprofessional example for the rest of the writing staff. |
|||
The first five issues of the series were reprinted in two ''Marvel Must Haves'' issues in summer 2005, before the sixth issue was released in July. The seventh and last issue was released in September 2005. |
|||
==History== |

[[Image:Dragoon-illustration.jpeg|right|thumb|A light dragoon from the American Revolution.]] |
|||
The whole series was also reprinted, along with the ''X-23'' miniseries, in an ''NYX X-23'' hardcover (ISBN 0-7851-1825-X). A [[trade paperback (comics)|trade paperback]] consisting of the ''NYX'' issues alone was released later in May 2006 (ISBN 0-7851-1243-X). |
|||
Washington saw the intimidating effect of the small force of [[17th Lancers|British 17th Light Dragoons]] that panicked his militia infantry at [[Battle of White Plains|White Plains]], and he appreciated the ability of the 5th Regiment of Connecticut Light Horse Militia under Major Elisha Sheldon to gather intelligence during the subsequent retreat of Continental forces into New Jersey. He asked the Continental Congress for a light cavalry force in the Continental army, and in late 1776 Congress authorized Washington to establish a mounted force of 3000 men. |

In December, 1776, Congress converted Elisha Sheldon's militia regiment into the Regiment of Light Dragoons. In the Spring of 1777, Washington established the Continental Light Dragoons consisting of four regiments of six troops each, with 280 men to a troop. Many problems faced the dragoon regiments, including the inability of recruiting to bring the units to authorized strength, shortage of suitable cavalry weapons and horses, and lack of uniformity among troopers in dress and discipline. Congress appointed the Polish revolutionary and professional soldier Count [[Kazimierz Pulaski|Casimir Pulaski]] to train them as an offensive strike force during winter quarters of 1777-78 at Trenton, New Jersey. |
|||
==Main characters== |
|||
Pulaski's efforts led to friction with the American officers, resulting in his resignation, but Congress authorized Pulaski to form his own independent corps in 1778. Pulaski's Legion consisted of dragoons, riflemen, grenadiers, and infantry. Another independent corps of dragoons joined Pulaski's in the Continental Line during 1778 when a former captain in Bland's Horse, [[Henry Lee III|"Light Horse Harry" Lee]], formed Lee's Corps of Partisan Light Dragoons, which specialized in raiding British supply lines. Colonel Charles Armand Tuffin, a French marquis, raised a third corps of infantry in Boston, called the Free and Independent Chasseurs, which later added a troop of dragoons. |
|||
*'''[[Kiden Nixon]]''' - Mutant with the ability to slow down time/speed up her personal time line. Also sometimes thought to have precognitive abilities due to the fact that Felon's "lil bro" used his abilities of projection to manipulate her during the story. |
|||
*'''[[X-23 (Laura Kinney)]]''' - The female clone of Wolverine; prostitute. |
|||
*'''[[Tatiana Caban|Catiana (Tatiana Caban)]]''' - Mutant with the ability to shapeshift into any animal whose blood she touches. |
|||
*'''Cameron Palmer''' - Kiden Nixon's former teacher. When she attempted suicide, Kiden saved her and roped her into the [[X-23]] situation. |
|||
*'''Felon''' (Bobby Soul) - Mutant with the ability to project his consciousness into other individuals and take control of their body. A side effect is that he sometimes has trouble remembering who he is after each possession. |
|||
*'''Zebra Daddy''' - [[X-23]]'s pimp. He claimed to love her more than any of his 'merchandise'. |
|||
*'''Hector Morales''' - Kiden's school enemy, who repeatedly attacked her - yet always failed to make an impact - and even tried to kill her but missed. He is now in prison. |
|||

In 1779, Washington ordered the 2nd and 4th Dragoons equipped temporarily as infantry, and deployed the 1st and 3rd Dragoon Regiments and Pulaski's corps to the South to join local militia cavalry and to oppose the new British strategy for controlling that area. Battle engagements in South Carolina largely rendered the 1st and 3rd Regiments ineffective during 1780, and the remnants tried to regroup and reconstitute in Virginia and North Carolina. In August, 1780, Tuffin's Legion was with [[Horatio Gates|General Gates]] at the disastrous [[Battle of Camden]]. |

==Plot summary== |
|||
{{spoiler} |
|||
--> |
|||
==Original concept== |
|||
The most significant engagement of the war involving American dragoons was the [[Battle of Cowpens]] in January 1781. Southern theater commander General [[Nathanael Greene]] reorganized part of Lee's Legion and elements of the shattered 1st and 3rd dragoons in Charlotte and they joined the force commanded by General [[Daniel Morgan]] at Cowpens, charged the advancing British lines at a calculated moment, broke their ranks, and secured a crucial victory. Later, the 3rd Legionary Corps participated in Greene's maneuvers across North Carolina and fought Cornwallis's army well at [[Battle of Guilford Courthouse|Guilford Courthouse]]. |
|||
In [[2001 in comics|2001]] writer [[Brian Wood (illustrator)|Brian Wood]] had developed a concept of the series for Marvel with artist [[David Choe]] that was to launch Marvel's [[MAX (comics)|MAX imprint]]. The on-going series, focusing on the characters and how their powers affect their lives, friends and family, was to star [[Gambit (comics)|Gambit]], [[Rogue (comics)|Rogue]], and [[Jubilee (comics)|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, Wood used parts of this concept for his series. |
|||
Washington decided by January, 1781, to fix the many problems of the dragoons by reconfiguring them as Legionary Corps, in which mounted dragoons were mixed with dismounted dragoons armed as infantry, an organization that persisted until war's end. In 1783, the Continental Army was discharged and the dragoons were released. |
|||
===War of 1812=== |
|||
The first cavalry unit formed by the United States Congress was a squadron of four troops commanded by Major Michael Rudolph on 5 March 1792. In 1799, Congress established a provision for mobilization of three cavalry regiments in the event of a war. Equipment for 3,000 men and horses was procured and stored. The Congressional act of 12 April 12 1808, authorized a standing Regiment of Light Dragoons consisting of eight troops. As war loomed, the act of 11 January 1812, authorized another Regiment of Light Dragoons. These regiments were respectively known afterwards as the First and Second United States Dragoons. |
|||
Secretary of War (name?) granted Colonel Richard M. Johnson permission to raise two battalions of volunteer cavalry in 1813. Johnson recruited 1,200 men, divided into 14 companies. In autumn, after much training, Johnson's Volunteers, as they had come to be called, clashed with the British 45th Foot along the Thames River, 90 miles east of Detroit. The training and the tactical leadership of Col. Johnson resulted in the surrender of the British. |
|||
Congress combined the First and Second United States Dragoons into one Regiment of Light Dragoons on 30 March 1814. This was a result of cutting the costs of sustaining two organizations when neither could maintain a full compliment of riders. At the end of the year, the war ended with the signing of the [[Peace Treaty of Ghent]]. The Regiment was disbanded on 3 March 1815, with the explanation that cavalry forces were too expensive to maintain as part of a standing army. The retained officers and men were folded into the Corps of Artillery by 15 June 1815, all others were discharged. |
|||
===Westward expansion=== |
|||
In 1832, Congress forms the United States Mounted Ranger Battalion to protect settlers along the east bank of the Mississippi River and to keep the Santa Fe trail open. The battalion comprised volunteers organized into six companies of 100 men. To correct what was perceived as a lack of discipline, organization and reliability, Congress formed the United States Regiment of Dragoons as a reguar force in 1833, consisting of 10 companies (designated A through K) with a total of 750 men. Chief Osceola, of the Seminole nation, led his tribe in a war against the settlers in 1835. The established units and militia could not effectively contain the Indians, so in 1836, Congress established the 2nd United States Regiment of Dragoons. The armament of the dragoons consisted of saber, two pistols, and a carbine. |
|||
2 March 1833, the Regiment of Dragoons was reconstituted. This unit was renamed to the First Regiment of Dragoons when the second regiment was formed in 1836. Known as the Black Hawks, the First Dragoons served in the Black Hawk Wars and the Mexican War, where they helped decide the [[Battle of Resaca de la Palma]]. |
|||
=== War with Mexico === |
|||
[[Image:Remember Your Regiment, U.S. Army in Action Series, 2d Dragoons charge in Mexican War 1846.jpg|thumb|Captain Charles A. May's squadron of the 2d Dragoons slashes through the Mexican Army lines.]] |
|||
=== Civil War === |
|||
Under the title 1st United States Cavalry it fought in virtually every campaign in the east during the American Civil War. Shortly before the outbreak of the Civil War the U.S. dragoon regiments were designated as "Cavalry", losing their previous distinctions. The change was an unpopular one and the former dragoons retained their orange braided blue jackets until they wore out and had to be replaced with cavalry yellow. |
|||
===Miscellaneous and misplaced information=== |
|||
The 1st and 2nd Battalion, 48th Infantry were mechanized infantry units assigned to 3d Armored Division from 1963 to 1992. Along with the 1st Battalion, 33d Armor, they comprised the maneuver elements of the Division's 2d Brigade, stationed Coleman Kaserne, in the city of Gelnhausen, Federal Republic of Germany. The Battalions served as part of NATO forces guarding the Inner-German Border against the Warsaw Pact, and later with the 3rd Armored Division in Desert Storm. The unit crest of the 48th Infantry designated the unit as Dragoons. They are descended from National Guard units which trained for the First World War, and Armored Rifle Battalions which served with the US 7th Armored Division during WWII. The 48th Armored Rifle Battalion, along with 1st Battalion, 40th Armor, in particular fought a tough battle in Vielsalm, Belgium, holding off the German V Panzer Corps for three days at the crossing of the Salm river, during the German Ardennes Offensive ([[Battle of the Bulge]]). |
|||
The 1st Dragoons was reformed in the Vietnam era as 1st Squadron, 1st U.S. Cavalry, and continues to this day in the Iraqi War as the oldest cavalry unit, as well as the most decorated unit, in the US Army. Today's modern 1-1 Cavalry is a scout/attack unit, equipped with [[M1 Abrams|M1A1 Abrams tanks]] and [[M2 Bradley|M3 Bradley CFVs]]. |
|||
Another modern [[United States Army]] unit informally known as the 2nd Dragoons is the [[2nd Cavalry Regiment (United States)|2nd Cavalry Regiment (Stryker)]]. This unit was originally organized as the Second Dragoon Regiment in 1836 until it was renamed the Second Cavalry Regiment in 1860, morphing into the 2d Armored Cavalry Regiment in the 1960s. The regiment is currently equipped with the [[Stryker (vehicle)|Stryker]] family of wheeled fighting vehicles. |
|||
==Tradition== |
|||
The cavalry, much like any other military force, has its own unique traditions and history. Most notably, units in the modern Army with cavalry lineage often adopt black [[Stetson]]'s as unofficial headgear, recalling the wool felt campaign hats of the Frontier Era. Other traditions include the [[Order of the Spur]] with its attendant "Spur Ride" initiation, the [[Saber Arch]], the poem ''[[Fiddler's Green]]'', the song ''[[Garryowen]]'', and the [[Order of the Yellow Garter]]. Officers in armor and aviation units with cavalry designations will also often wear cavalry branch insignia in place of the insignia of their original branch. |
|||
==Popular culture== |
|||
[[Image:Commanding General's Mounted Color Guard, Fort Riley, 2005.jpg|right|thumb|Solders with the Commanding General's Mounted Color Guard, [[Fort Riley]], [[Kansas]], prepare for a parade.]] |
|||
The cavalry is classically portrayed in the American Western movie as a force that comes to save the day, typically against hostile [[Native Americans in the United States|Indians]]. They are often accompanied by a [[bugle call]], and the cry [[Charge (warfare)|''"Charge"'']].<ref>[http://www.fas.org/man/dod-101/sys/land/bugle.htm Bugle Calls<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref> The bugle call and cry of, "Charge!" is often used at United States sporting events to encourage crowd participation and rally support for the home team. |

NYX is a limited series of comic books by Marvel Comics, consisting of seven issues, published between 2003 and 2005.[1] It is written by Joe Quesada with art by Joshua Middleton (issues #1–4) and Rob Teranishi (issues #5–7). The acronym NYX stands for District X, New York City, as seen in the return address of a letter sent in the last issue of the series.
The series was abruptly canceled in 2005 but as of April 2008 a new series had been announced to be in production.
The series is about a group of homeless teenage mutants in New York City and featured the first comic book appearance of X-23, a character originally created for the X-Men: Evolution cartoon.
Publication history
Throughout its publication, there were often long delays between issues of NYX (Quesada had always been late with scripts, causing issues to ship late, then Middleton left the book after issue #4 and new penciler Teranishi reportedly broke his hand after finishing his first issue). Quesada himself was the target of much criticism for the delays particularly, as the Editor-In-Chief of Marvel, he was setting a bad and unprofessional example for the rest of the writing staff.
The first five issues of the series were reprinted in two Marvel Must Haves issues in summer 2005, before the sixth issue was released in July. The seventh and last issue was released in September 2005.
The whole series was also reprinted, along with the X-23 miniseries, in an NYX X-23 hardcover (ISBN 0-7851-1825-X). A trade paperback consisting of the NYX issues alone was released later in May 2006 (ISBN 0-7851-1243-X).
Spin-off
A second series of NYX was planned for release in 2007, but never materialized.[2] However, at the 2008 New York Comic Con, a new NYX series was officially announced to launch in August 2008.[3][4] NYX: No Way Home would be written by Marjorie Liu,[5][6] with art by Kalman Andrasofszky.[7]
Main characters
- Kiden Nixon - Mutant with the ability to slow down time/speed up her personal time line. Also sometimes thought to have precognitive abilities due to the fact that Felon's "lil bro" used his abilities of projection to manipulate her during the story.
- X-23 (Laura Kinney) - The female clone of Wolverine; prostitute.
- Catiana (Tatiana Caban) - Mutant with the ability to shapeshift into any animal whose blood she touches.
- Cameron Palmer - Kiden Nixon's former teacher. When she attempted suicide, Kiden saved her and roped her into the X-23 situation.
- Felon (Bobby Soul) - Mutant with the ability to project his consciousness into other individuals and take control of their body. A side effect is that he sometimes has trouble remembering who he is after each possession.
- Zebra Daddy - X-23's pimp. He claimed to love her more than any of his 'merchandise'.
- Hector Morales - Kiden's school enemy, who repeatedly attacked her - yet always failed to make an impact - and even tried to kill her but missed. He is now in prison.

Original concept
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, Wood used parts of this concept for his series.
