I would just like to remind everyone that Mystique’s long time lover, Destiny, was named Irene Adler and the two met while Mystique was working as a consulting detective. Just a reminder.
…*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.)
supervillains fucking hate fighting the x-men because the teams change constantly and sometimes there are??? totally new people there???? fuck there’s a teenager who literally just has eyes all over his body. is he even technically a superhero yet or is he a student. who the fuck knows. how do we counter this shit
When one seems completely non-mutated and they’re like
And no matter which team it is, Wolverine is there. Is it the future? Wolverine is there. Is it an alternate reality? Wolverine is there. Is Wolverine dead? Wolverine is there.
Was Wolverine never born in this alternate reality? Wolverine is there.
Does Wolverine only exist as a non corporeal spirit? Wolverine is there.
Is Wolverine only a philosophical construct used to explain our place in an uncaring universe? Wolverine is there.
Is Wolverine only a theological concept used to explain mankind’s struggle against the universe? Wolverine is there.
Is Wolverine there? Another Wolverine is also there.
And let’s not forget when the villains just switch sides. Last week this guy was on your side now he’s next to Wolverine and kicking your ass.
The only constant is Wolverine.
There are three constants in life: death, taxes, and Wolverine.
