I got a suggestion. I like seeing interaction between the girls so how about setting up a group chat between all your relationships once they're all friends and we can see some inter-harem dialogue going on. I think it's a nice and natural addition since they all send you text messages anyways.
This is partially in the game already and is getting greatly expanded on.

I want Rogue to send me deep fried memes and Laura to not understand every single one of them.
You joke but we have a channel on the discord where people make fake hums and text chats and a lot have designated Boom Boom to meme lord.

Honey Badger is her little sister.
They ditched that and are calling her "Scout" now.

Retro-activly, they should have made her X-men codename Honey Badger instead of Talon, it just suits perfectly with the description of a tinier, angrier Wolverine.
But the chance was missed and Honey Badger is her little sister.
So now we have Wolverine, Laura is some times Wolverine too wich is cheap and confusing, then some times shes X-23, a name she supposedly hates because her origins in weapon X, and noone uses Talon anymore.
I thought the story was that Laura got trapped in a time vault and fell in love with the only other person in there, and when she came out there were two Lauras for some reason, and when the two Lauras met up they agreed never to see each other again and to stay out of each other's lives, the older one kept the moniker Talon and then was later killed and her consciousness lingered on in the mind of the man she was trapped in that vault with, who decided to erase even that remnant of her from existence so that he could keep from aging quicker than he'd like.

Yeah, i know that comics are so bad now that Laura isnt even THE Laura, its just a krakoan clone.
Poor girl will foreer exist as a puncing bag for the writters, so bad they even erased er out of existence now.

Could be worse, at least it wasn't some sort of time travel fuckup that somehow turned her gay and her whole family black. Wally West, anyone? :cautious:

More complicated than that - which was very much the point at the time. Won't get too into it 'cause that's something for the off-topic thread, but the gist was that Synch (her partner while in the vault) finally managed to send out a psychic imprint for himself before croaking, but Laura didn't (and also survived in the Vault still). So when they revived them both back on Krakoa, Synch still had all his memories from within the vault, but the Laura clone didn't. They also distinguished her from the original as this clone had a full adamantium skeleton like Logan, which was a fuck-up by I think Elixir(?) misremembering that detail during the process.
After the original Laura gets out, they just agreed that the first one would get revival rights instead of the clone, 'cause again, that was a big issue that this was exploring with Krakoa's whole immortality complex. I'm also upset about how they ended it 'cause it fucked both OG Laura AND Synch, after finally reviving him after 20 fucking years. Let my man have something for more than a year, god damn....

To bring this back to the game though, and this IS spoilers for comic stuff (you've been warned), high likelihood this gets explored a bit if/when Madelyne Pryor comes around in game. Although I do wonder how that would be handled if she does appear. Don't remember if it's been addressed before or not, but I imagine she'd be off-limits in order to facilitate Cable getting born, which I recall was confirmed to happen still, I think? Although nothing saying it couldn't be like a Nocturne situation or something. But it'd be kinda' funny to have her get immediately outed as a clone because she ISN'T all over Null, as she would be otherwise.

Alternately, the writers for the game could go with Claremont's original idea: Madelyne just looks like Jean, and is not her clone. Where this gets hilarious is when Rachel Summers pops up, since she actually was supposed to be the daughter of Scott and Jean, making the fact that Jean's with Null is a huge flag that this is an alternate past, leading to an alternate future. In another words, the devs are not going to have Scott abandon his wife and newborn kid to hang out with the ex who dumped him. This might mean that the X-Factor line-up gets changed, or is just a reserve X-Men team.

But since we already know a bunch of them (current writers and editors) are idiots, we can call her Honey Badger, if we want.
I dont care, Gabby will always be Honey Badger for me, Scout its an uninspired and boring ass name.
View attachment 4495454
Trust me. I will never let the writers name her Scout if she ever shows up in something we create.

Honestly, I liked that they did that for the whole family. Wally suddenly being gay? Not so much.
Like with most of DC I don't understand the reasons behind any of their decisions.

Marvel? I can find the source of any stupidity they put out.

Honey Badger becoming Scout? They wanted to make her more mature... The stupid part is that she's still like 12.

Destroying Krakoa? Marvel is lazy and cannot have the X-Men transition to a new phase without blowing their home up.

The constant release of event comics? Secret Wars sold really fucking well and they want to make another successful event comic so badly that they even used the name again in 2015 and they don't know how to stop.

But DC? DC has had... Okay before the DC fanboys jump on me technically TWO hard reboots but in addition to that they've had another five soft reboots.

@ Me in off topic if you really want to get into the specifics.

Let us cook.

I've been pitching a Rachel idea since this project started.

I'm kinda late here but I just saw Dazzler and while I love her design I don't find the eyes striking enough, why not give her something like purple? Would fit her disco theme and be unique like Laura. :unsure:

Designs are not finalized until we order the full sprite set and even then they're tweakable.

We can make 50+ facial expressions with the current girls and people acted like Emma's was gonna be static for some reason. :HideThePain:
