Pepper X

I bought this from ebay and seeds came from the Italy seller. I just wanted be sure what is it? It does not look anything I have ever seen? I'm doing taste test end of the week and I can then is it hot or very hot. I think its gonna be atleast super hot category. What you guys think?

Maybe a Big Mustard Mama cross of some sort?
It may be. Color is same and very wrinkled. The guy I bought it, has thousands of those seeds and it's monopoly if one seller owns all the seeds or it just a scam. But is it a scam if it's hotter than Carolina Reaper? I know how hot is Carolina Reaper and it's 20-30% hotter than my Peach Bleeder. It's painful. Very.

To start I never grew so I do not know what you have. Pepper X hype has been around since 2017 and confusion has been rampant. ever since.

2019 Pepper X
Thank you! I'm now checking all those extra information. I didn't have time in the morning to use search. 
 
Edit. Soon we will know is it hotter than Carolina Reaper or just another fake. I wonder why so many seeds are sold but no one had reported anything? It does not take long too long to grow with good lights, ground and fertilizer.
 
Until proven otherwise, Pepper X = FAKE NEWS!!! That being said, I'd also go with Major Pain guess (BMM) or maybe with a Nagabrain cross...

When I searched big mustard mama and naga brain photos it just look like it would be cross between those. BMM is about 1M SHU and Naga Brain is 1.38M SHU. May be a bit disapoint on the heat level but let see. I like how it looks even it seems fake. If it's very tasty and hot enough it would be nice chili to future cross.
 
PS. Also there could be third chili in the cross the gator jigsaw.

More pictures. It's now fully ripen. Taste is something like Carolina Reaper and Harold's Barts Green. Oily and not too much seeds. It was only 12.5 grams. Extreme hot and I would rank this hot as Carolina Reaper or a bit hotter. I only tasted a bit on the tail. Heat increasing slowly and nice clean flavour. Even it may be a fake but it's absurd hot. 
 
  
 
Edit. Updated correct picture.

At the top by the stem it looks like it was about to change color to a brown if ripened longer. If so, I'd guess chocolate nagabrain.

It was fully ripe. It started with green and changed to olive green. Also I let it dry and no color change. Only it started to smell strongly sweet and Carolina reaper. I liked it much. I grow it again and try to cross it with something.

 
Yup, not anywhere near to rated shu. Still it wold be interesting chili to grow if can handle the heat. Ed Currie was telling nice bedtime story  about 3 million chili that nobody does not have :) I remember that I read somewhere that someone said you could even create 8 million shu chili pepper. But we don't even have 3 million yet...
 
Few years later someone Italo guy start to sell Apollo chili pepper seeds and says he got personally the seeds from the USA or Ed Currie :) And he is the only seller that have rights to sell it.
