me: *reads/watches any piece of media ever*

me: …do we have a girl genius au for this yet

consider: sparks as mutants in the x-men universe, except /wow that’s a lot of powers to work out/…, agatha’s heterodyning is probably much more versatile, tarvek’s family’s been known for electric/weather powers?, maybe also camouflage and superspeed in SHORT distances, dunno ‘bout gil n klaus…, i want my boy to have his lightning rod still, and klaus is still at his TERRIBLE EXPERIMENTS, othar’s story translates pretty well but what the HECK is his power, …i mean that visor has a PRETTY cyclops look to it but dunno if it quite fits him, the power anyway, also
it’s weird bc i feel like they all NEED to be unstable geniuses but
like-… that’s only feasable in the ggverse… maybe aperture labs, …….anyway ignore me i just saw the new movie.

…*buries face in hands*  Not REALLY an AU but I WAS on an X-men RP forum for like three years once and two of my jager OCs might be redone from OCs on that forum.

Incidentally, I’m pretty sure Othar has some form of regeneration, or like… he can make clones and when he dies his mind just goes to one of the clones and it wakes up as the new Othar.  (Really this is just about how I’m sure the “heroic pants” work anyway.  They store his memories and heal/revive him when he dies.)

YES ok definitely something along those lines for him! maybe it’s like the ability to literally freaking die we all saw you fall off a building and then the next day he comes strolling back all chipper and hello everyone what did i miss? and literally nobody knows how it actually works

but maybe that’s TOO close to canon…

XD don’t worry, i don’t judge. clever way to keep a character alive, really!

the real question is, are we sticking Girl Genius characters in to join the main X-Men cast (mutants being potentially infinite in number), or is the great feud between telepath!Lucrezia who believes in mutant superiority (mostly her own) and metalbender!Klaus, who thinks we need to work with the humans, and has a school for mutants and a Lu-proof helmet? (Lucrezia has to be way less powerful than canon Professor X, though, because we all know the only cap on Charles Xavier’s ability to take over the world is his own moral code.)
