gimme the GOD drat candy posted:in summary: vulcan didn't die during war of kings, he's trying to do better, and he's a ticking time bomb. And the explosion that they thought killed him opened a rift in the universe to a universe where Death was killed and all life mutated into a Cthulu inspired Cancerverse.

TwoPair posted:Yeah, but like, is that from a previous run, have they explained it at all or is this something that's gonna be explained further down the line? With Doug it's best not to ask questions. Before the HoX/PoX prologue his last appearance was as a hobo, squatting in an abandoned house, on the verge of death because he was physically addicted to memes.

mind the walrus posted:Looked up the page: I took that speech to mean Destiny saw everything Moira was going to do all throughout her other lives as well. Thats why Moira won't let her be resurrected. Charles and Magneto would have a lot less confidence in her plan if they find out she's just Groundhog Day'ing it.

danbanana posted:It's specifically the x-gene that makes you a big-M Mutant, right? It changes, for a while the general idea was that most people have the gene but you were only a mutant if the gene expressed itself naturally. If the gene is forced to express itself by outside factors then you'd be a mutate.

ImpAtom posted:A big problem is probably the fact that Being A Mutant was absurdly marketable for a while so making people mutants was a good way to make them more significant. (Like Cloak and Dagger.) It might have had other real world implications too. Toys of non-humans had lower duty and tariff rates than toys of humans back in the 70s- 90s so Marvel argued that since X-Men were distinct from humans they would get the lower rates. Easy to see them attempting to expand that definition so they can sell Spider-Man toys at a better margin too. nunsexmonkrock posted:Is there any specific reason why Kwannon is now Psylocke rather that Revance? I mean other than to make her more confusing. Nothing more than certain artists and fans preferring stories of the Psylocke they grew up with and fearing change. It wasn't a body switch, the Psylocke(Betsy) was killed by a villain with reality warping powers but psychically jumped her consciousness into the villain body and took control long enough to recreate herself a new body that ended up being her original form since that's how she still saw herself. Kwannon was long dead but apparently she was an early resurrection on Krakoa. Couldn't be simpler. Macdeo Lurjtux fucked around with this message at 20:16 on Dec 6, 2020 |

Edge & Christian posted:That lawsuit was filed in 2000 and went to court in 2002, was ruled in their favor in 2003, and almost definitely led the International Trade Commission to revise their listings so dolls and action figures and toys are all lumped into the same tariff code a few years later, so given that timeframe the odds of it affecting any editorial decisions 10-20 years earlier is pretty low. Sorry, I thought the court stuff was going on in the 80s not the '00s. Thinking on the letter posted last page, it does put Kitty's notorious panels more in context. If people still weren't picking up the allegory of the X-Men, I could see him getting frustrated enough to try and spell it out for them.

Mulva posted:Has a writer just literally ignored another current writer before? Not "didn't get the memo" and wrote something different, not "retcon it after the run is over", just flat out "This is stupid I'm not acknowledging it happened" to a currently running writer? Come to think of it, are there any popular characters that were created because the writer wasn't allowed to use a planned character at the last minute over at Marvel? I know that's how DC got two separate carbon copies on Constantine running around.

gimme the GOD drat candy posted:deadpool's big relationships with mutants were cable, siryn and evan. as of the last issue of x-factor, all of them are dead. i guess there's also copycat, but she's alive and hasn't really been relevant to anything in decades. still, no one who is alive and matters wants wade on krakoa. He was big with Rogue and Wolverine too. It does get brought up in his current series, there were people that would have wanted Deadpool involved but he's too much chaos just as they're trying to establish Krakoa. Prodigy ran the numbers and Deadpool involvement leads to a 97% increase to the chance Krakoa fails completely.

Codependent Poster posted:It started with Utopia where he starts making GBS threads on Scott and his methods, like how he recruited Magneto and allowed other former villains to stay with them since Decimation reduced their numbers. He was also mad that Norman Osborn captured him and he wasn't rescued right away. Then he gets worse and worse and more hypocritical, like the time in Secret Avengers where he helps build a bomb that kills a planet or something. So ever since then he's just been this hypocrite since he's been doing terrible poo poo but then always acts like he knows better and isn't doing anything worse than anyone else. I'd say it started even earlier, with his back up story before Messiah Complex. The one where he works with Dark Beast as they go about the globe consulting all the geneticist super villains. That started him on the end justifies the means stories.

TwoPair posted:Maybe it was Rosenberg, but I feel like there's been at least one time in some book or another where Hope swore vengeance on him. Regardless, yeah I guess she got over it quick. It wasn't Rosenberg. It was in a, I think a one shot or a short in a anthology book or something, where Hope teams up with Jean to recover and destroy the time machine Cable had in his arm from Deadpool.

rantmo posted:Strong Guy was back from hell pre-Krakoa, though I'm not sure there was any explanation. He got overthrown and then Magik pulled some strings and got his soul back. Then Rosenberg had him arrested by O.N.E., infected him with the transmode virus then he died shielding the rest of the Xmen from an explosion.

Skwirl posted:Yeah, wasn't Cannonball's non-mutant family there for The Crucible issue? They brought various delegates there. Given Prodigy's powers and the huge number of psychics on Krakoa you'd want some form of information exchange with the rest of the world that involved physical visitations from human experts in whatever fields. I think some of the confusion might be stemming from the recent Juggernaut series where Charles tells Cain that Krakoa is mutant only and he's not welcome there however much Charles would like to invite him. And that could either be the writer not being on the same page as the rest of the X team or they just wanted to tell Cain's story free from X baggage.

Yeah, in all honesty, his run feels like the opposite. It's full of deep cuts and sloppy ends to storylines that had been running for years so it feels like he was specifically asked to clean the slate a bit for a new beginning.

wielder posted:Yes, the resurrection process fixed it and now she can use her powers better. She was able to switch long before Krakoa, it happened during All New/All different, Marius possessed her for a good long while and started calling themselves M-Plate. She was freed from the possession at the end of the new Gen X run right before Hox/Pox.

Newsstand returns also had a secondary shelf life, there was a company that would snap them up at pennies on the dollar, pack them up, and sell them at big box stores. I remember the local Toys R Us had an isle devoted to the packs. I remember buying one with the gatefold X-Men #1 and the next 5 issues. I still have them in a long box at my parents.

That ends up being weird because its like Slott's Gauntlet story, he had the idea for it 30years ago and kept shoving it into every book he wrote. The original version had Supergirl in Rahne's role.

Codependent Poster posted:I thought the Supergirl stuff then moved into Fallen Angel. How does that all equate into Rahne? It's been a while since I've actually thought about that Supergirl thing and I've forgotten a ton of details. Fallen Angel got cancelled before he finished the story so he ported it over to Rahne. Fallen Angel was about a superhero giving birth to a half divine son and the attempts of a devil to use that son's divinity to empower himself and become the ruler of hell.
