so if shes test tube born why all mwaterials say shes his clone? test tube kid is not the same as a clone
Semantics of what constitutes a clone from a scientific perspective. It is phrasing that is correct, but leaves laymen with the wrong idea.

Gonna coin some terms on the spot;
For the sake of distinction, we could consider characters like Madelyne Pryor and Ben Reilly to be Mirrored Clones - they were designed to explicity work as replacements for their genetic progenitor as completely as possible, as if they stepped out of the mirror.
Meanwhile Laura Kinney (and Gabby et al. by proxy) and Superboy (which I know is DC, but was the first example that came to mind) would be Progenal Clones. They are mixes of an intended genetic progenitor and a secondary stabilizing donor in such a way as to emulate the production of a child, and that embryo is then put through the rest of the cloning process.

Hope this gives someone a better way of comprehending the differences. They're slight, with respect to the actual science of it, but clearly a line between needs to be drawn.

I kinda like HUSK but I'm afraid we'd go into full gore. ShinyBoots1993 what about Warbird of the shi'ar ? Could she be proposed as a future inclusion?She was already very sexy plus have a very distinct and hands-on personality.....and a wonderful wardrobe

Husk wouldn't be gore focused so no worries.

As for Warbird, EVERYONE feels like skipping over the Brood Saga and that's where she makes her first major appearance. So unless the fans and, more importantly, the writers change their mind, I wouldn't get your hopes up.

GASP! Are we gonna go to Mojoworld? :D
Unlikely. It'll be referenced and we'll get small doses of shenanigans but I don't think anyone wants to touch X-Men Babies or the whole Dazzler sleeping with her son's clone to give birth to her son who is also an alien.

I know the new version, v0.6a, is a beta release and not actually official, but, other than Kurt mentioning a non-existent BBQ Pit, does anyone know what different from v0.5b?

if you mean she is just logan's dna but genderbent and then placed in an empty embroyo to simulate fertilisation, shes still a clone, and my point stands.

Very good call.
The Brood Saga is one of my favourite arcs across the whole of Claremont's run, mostly for the brilliant Paul Smith art, but I can't see how you could possibly work it into a porn game. Especially considering how TNH works as a game/visual novel and your down-to-earth (at least so far) version of the X-Men setting, neither of which really accomodates the action-horror stylings of the Brood Saga.

The people that started salivating at "parasite porn" porn could and they were swiftly disappointed.

I mapped out Marvel creation myth in full and even explained the contradictions and how they're tied to the DC Multi-verse and Meta-verses as a whole. Maddeninggg has yet to recover from the experience. My point being that there is nothing down-to-earth in the BACKGROUND of Earth 69. What Null actually experiences is still up for discussion lol



Side note: Y'all talking about clone semantics or debating X-23 being a clone or daughter, take it to off topic before we get raided.
