It's best not to think about the real world implications of most powers. Another side effect of Magneto would be his powers would generate synchrotron radiation which wouldn't be healthy for himself or anyone around him. He also would never be able to hide because he would turn himself into a radio beacon whenever he used them. Then there is the whole problem with speedsters . . . .
Which is why Rogue is the best girl and must be loved and protected at all costs.
I look forward to watching you cook, then.
I hope so. As I said, I think it would be an interesting dynamic, but I lack the imagine to see it given the changes made to the setting. I look forward to you enlightening me.None that you can see at least.
It's happened to quite a few characters. Both Havok and Cyclops are portrayed very differently depending on the writer.
I'm sure you do. One thing that did occur to me after what I wrote above is that, while Kitty won't remember anything, Null will remember anything she tells him about their futures. Did they have a child together? Would Null want to make sure that child is born despite the changes to the timeline or decide he'd rather create his own fate? There is interesting storytelling potential there, but I wouldn't be upset if the writers chose to focus on other storylines instead.
I'm of two minds on this: First, it is entirely understandable you'd take that position. Second, it is depressing that such precautions are probably necessary.
I suppose you could age Illyana up the same way you did Kitty (which was my base assumption anyway). You could have it so she doesn't age physically in Limbo even though time passes. That way, she could be an adult the entire time and still have her be altered by her experiences there. That being said, I should probably just leave this with: do whatever you think is best in this situation.
Ugh. What happened to villains being villains. I like morally complex characters. I like sympathetic villains. I'm a sucker for a good redemption story. But I also like evil villains. I like magnificent bastards, too. Not every villain has to be sympathetic or redeemable. Them retconning Mystique like that . . . just ugh.
That being said, I don't really care about her. I loved Mystique and Magneto, and they were involved in some great storylines, but I felt they—along with Wolverine to a certain extent—were overused although that feeling has mellowed a bit over time. I definitely want to see them as villains, but not too much. I do understand that to be a very unhelpful comment because the line between just right and too much is entirely subjective.
In the end, I obviously misunderstood what you'd written regarding her. While I would prefer her not to end up a love interest, I'm closer to indifferent to the idea than hating it. That retcon, though . . .
Null: Logan—Mr. Wolverine—sir. Is it alright—may I date your adoptive daughter?
Logan: Again! You're out of control. I'd be tempted to castrate you if I wouldn't have to worry about Laura hunting me for the rest of my life.
My suspicion is that chapter 5 will conclude the Onslaught Saga, and Null will end up taking Charles's place as head of the organization. Chapter 6 will then revolve around him in that capacity. Can't wait to see how wrong I am.
As mentioned when discussing Ms. Marvel above, different writers write characters differently. Some writers seem to really hate particular characters. Both Havok and Cyclops have been subjected to this. While I do not read the current comics and haven't for a while, I've been told that Colossus is currently the favorite punching bag of some writers. Havok's character really took a turn when, I think, Chuck Austen started writing him. I would call it character assassination; however, when you have a character that's been around so long and had so many writers, it's hard to say what is their true character, what is character development, what is character assassination, and what is just bad writing. That doesn't stop us from having opinions though. Let's just say that a universe where Havok and Polaris remain a couple is one in which Havok does not develop some of his less savory personality traits.

You don't have permission to view the spoiler content.
Log in or register now.
My first kneejerk feeling after playing the pic related part of 0.8a was that Null might have already met Kitty and left one hell of a first impression.
And now we just waiting for the actual introduction part and Logan shitposting about another not-a-daughter gushing about the same guy.
But that is probably just my VN-sickend mindset working at headcanon creation here since that likely doesn't fit any book storyline, and the hair in that scene does not even fit what signature art I seen floating around here.
That brain-fart aside, seeing their age, disposition and power ranks, I really wonder if Storm and some of the other planned chars joining in as LIs will (or should be) be handled with somewhat different 'mechanics' in ch2.
I mean in Storm's case, Jean already spoke of her as a friend. And while Laura is stating that she isn't calling her that, she also claimed Storm was already closer to her than anyone before Null and Rogue. Not sure invitation to some pool-parties is going to improve matters there.
And regarding her feels, seems she is more likely to go and pull a long string of "Single Again" Frank protag self-doubts than needing to be taken on few dates. Maybe something like a 'corruption' or letting go of responsibility thing?

The scene you showed would have been a great way to introduce Jubilee, as her introduction in the 90's show was a mall attack.
Quite possible that this actually was why my mind pulled that idea up.
Not like I can clearly recall which part of the messy blob of Cape-media memories came from what source over the years
that's a crazy thing to hope, kitty is one of the confirmed girls for chapter 2, which will start in version 1.1, this update was 0.8a, there was a roadmap posted some pages ago

Her introduction in the comics was a bit different. It did involve mutant hunters in a mall, but not sentinels. I don't know how the devs will handle it, but following the cartoon might not be a horrible idea. It would be a good yardstick for Null, showing how much he's grown. He went from almost dying and needing to be saved in a sentinel mall attack to saving someone else in one.
As a670711 said, she'll be introduced in version 1.1. While the devs aren't going to give set dates, if everything goes well, it will hopefully be out by the end of the year.

I have zero issues with this so long as we keep out of X-MEN '97 levels of uncomfortable.

I never got around to watching X-Men '97. The animation looked flat. I know there were some jokes circulating about Rogue's ass, but it wasn't just that. Their faces, everything looked flat. It also had a sort of an uncanny valley effect for me. It looked and sounded almost like the old cartoon, but it was just a little off which annoyed me. I might have liked it better if they had gone in a more different direction. In the end, though, while I have a lot of nostalgia for the older comics and cartoon, I don't have much desire for new X-Men outside TNH. Even much of that is likely tied to my interest in how they'll handle the old material.
Way more people than you would like.
Just wait until they learn that web traffic is tracked at work...

Honestly you're better off just remebering the old 90's cartoon, there is a particular episode in '97 that made me feel gross and i refuse to elaborate.

-Sees Update-
New wifeys or same boring pointless crap to excuse the AI art generato... I mean "artist", to work more so on the likely 3 year wait for chapter 2.
-Pointless crap... except...-
The Eldrich Dildo Machine, right in the fucking danger room. It's got the massive dick spire, tentacles to lock in and do the heavy lifting and work, likely a egg sack somewhere to pop in eggs because whatever. THIS THING WILL MAKE OUR GIRLS CLIMAX FIFTY TIMES WITH HARDLY ANY REAL TRUST OR LOVE ISSUES. I give it my stamp of approval.

Bet you 50 bucks that the guy thinks the earth is flat because he hasn't seen it from space.
