Magneto and Polaris talk shop

Honestly, this feels like an odd thing for Lorna to ask - and especially to ask of Magneto. It's always nice to see them together, but it feels like this was a discourse Hickman wanted and chose these two. I think it would have been more interesting to reverse the roles. Then again, these two have definitely suffered a lot from humans as a sociological group. Genosha is a big one, the Holocaust.

Sloppy motherfuckers that gave people R-LDS, apparently.

It's really just a setup for the introduction of the Five anyway. This feels like so long ago for me now, but I can still remember how blown my mind was. 'Goldballs! TF? Proteus lives! Tempus, where have you been, my fellow Australian?'

He's right there man, Goldballs can probably hear you.

Elixir! No longer gold or black. Hope! Back from obscurity! Polaris' next question is a more interesting one - 'aren't they just clones?' For some reason this was a fandom argument for quite a while when it was answered in House of X.

I do wish Mags and Lorna's relationship received more attention during the First Krakoan Age. X-Factor did a little and would have done more but was cancelled for reasons I'll never know. He scolded her for drinking and hanging out with Havok (fair) at the first Gala, but after that we only got her being affected by his death and overjoyed he was alive (and team up to kill Nimrod.) Maybe they just don't have a super close relationship, or don't gel well socially - but it's not hard to put that on the page.

Haha, Havok is jealous of Dog Boy.

Right now Lorna is more extreme politically than Magneto is, being a member of the Mutant Underground and in explicit conflict with the US military. The US military is a global oppressor and predator with a terrible mutant record - you'd think they'd have a lot to say to each other. Not to mention supporting each other during a period of trauma for all, plus apparently one of risk. Lorna died once that we saw - at the hands of The Morrigan - I'd expect Mags to warn her. Mags' mobility is restricted by disability and geographic isolation, but they both have phones, probably.

Part of being a Lorna fan is living with disappointment, but as books start to interact with each other hopefully we'll see them interact.

How do you view Reed getting powers in S2? I thought it was okay but I do think it was totally in line with his character that he wanted to hide it and then get rid of it. He trained for like, a few minutes, gave up and then immediately tried to get rid of them with Dr. Risman. Reed loathes his powers, Andy loves his powers, but i'm unsure about Lauren's feelings. What do you think?

About Reed getting powers.

I hated it, ngl. I thought it was a nice karma that he became exactly what he used to discriminate against. He was causing so many problem because he couldn’t control his powers, just like so many mutants that he prosecuted (i.e. remember the girl in the bowling alley?).

I agree that him getting powers and immediately hiding/suppressing it was in character, especially since he never fully accepted destructive powers. Sure he was able to accept Lauren’s ability to make shields but honestly I don’t think he was ever able to get past how destructive Andy’s powers are (see his reaction to Andy talking about his powers when they are going to attack that Federal building in season one). With his powers being destructive, it makes sense that he would immediately reject them. So in character, but honestly, it felt kind of like they needed a reason to kill off the character since the actor didn’t want to continue doing the show. 🤷🏻‍♀️ On the topic of Dr. Risman, I totally think Reed would have agreed with her views pre-pilot/before the exposure of his kids.

Andy loving his powers is fact obviously, but with canon Lauren, I think it’s more complicated. I think that she’s been so guilted about loving power and associated that with being evil like the Von Struckers/Brotherhood/Hell Fire Club. Loving your power has been marketed as a bad thing by their society. We know that Lauren likes the feeling of Fenris, since she said as much to Andy in season one, but, especially when she puts so much stock into her parents’ opinions, that will always fight with the guilt she feels for liking how powerful she is. Which is supported by Lauren “going dark” when she was experimenting more with her powers and history in season two to the point where she was going to run away from the Underground. She was just indulging that proud part of her that she usually suppresses.

But that’s just a theory, feel free to start a debate about this 😅

i love these!

some notes though:

1. I’m amazed that sentinel services know the exact details of polaris, eclipse and john’s powers but they couldn’t figure out andy’s power lmao. I guess for Lorna it’s obvious that it’s specifically magnetism not telekinesis because her dad is magneto. And they didn’t get the exact details of clarice right either….nightcrawler type teleportation is much easier than her portals!

2. clarice actually didn’t start going by the mutant name “Blink” until the middle of s2, but TBF, I for one couldn’t help but call her that in my head all of s1. 3. I couldn’t find one for Reed so I’m assuming they didn’t make one- I guess maybe they wanted to make viewers believe he really was going to betray his family/the other mutants?

The world has fallen to a monstrous infection, those who remain must band together to survive.  In Upstate New York, heroes and civilians alike are working to build a life, even in the wake of civilisation crumbling.

Marvel Zombies RP open character: Clarice Fong

Moderator suggestion for this character:

Whether you're backed into a corner by a horde of zombies, or you just want to get home before dark; there's no one you'd rather be in a tight situation with than Clarice.
