History WMG / Runaways

* Xavin: [[Film/TheAvengers2012 a Chitaury]] that survived when Iron Man closed the Portal, he/she and other of his/her species had been hunted by SHIELD and HYDRA since the failed invasion, making him/her the LastOfHisKind on Earth right now. This, however, will serve to Retcon the Chitaury into TragicVillains: it will be revealed that [[GreaterScopeVillain Thanos]] conquered their planet and forced the survivors to [[UnwillingRoboticisation be transformed into his soldiers]]. The reason they are AlwaysChaoticEvil is because they [[AndIMustScream are completely aware of their situation]] and most of their species has become insane

* Gert Yorkers: her parents would be previous scientist of SHIELD that were charged with studying the Tesseract and end whitout work afther the events of ''Film/Film/CaptainAmericaTheWinterSoldier''.

* Alex Wilder: his parents were one of the many criminal families of New York or had associates there, but decided to get out of the city for very good and rational reasons[[Series/Daredevil2015 for]][[Series/JessicaJones2015 very]][[Series/LukeCage2016 good]][[Series/IronFist2017 and]][[Series/TheDefenders2017 rational]][[Series/ThePunisher reasons]].

*** Nope, that's not the case. It's been shown that anything less than the destruction of the head would not be a reliable way to do the job, especially if the skrull has prior warning about the blow like Xavin absolutely would. Teddy, who's only a half-skrull, has been shown before to have his organs move to avoid damage while unconscious, the attacker stating it may take hour of constantly trying to kill him to succeed. If they don't know what Xavin is, then permanently harming them would be nigh-impossible.
*** Even if it was found out what Xavin really was, they still want Karolina most so prison and interrogation about her location is a much more likely scenario.

[[WMG: Molly can tap into the same power source as SquirrelGirl]]
Molly has one-shoted both Wolverine and Punisher, mostly because it is awesome and hilarious to see a 12-year-old girl gutpunching ThePunisher. Molly gets more power by fighting in funny matchups.

** Actually, plenty of vampires survived that and the spell was eventually reversed, we've even seen Dracula several times in recent stories (teaming up with Doom, the Curse of The Mutants story where the XMen fought Dracula's son Xarus, the current Hulk vs. Dracula mini, etc.) Hell, there was a Blade book going on back then and there were vampires there too (because, without vampires, Blade is out of a job). So really, Topher doesn't contradict anything, since vampires had returned, quite clearly.

They probably left Earth to look for Xavin. The proof is the fact that someone has finally filled the void the Pride left and calling himself "The Kingpin of LA" (MoonKnight book). And {{ComicBook/Daken}} has also moved to LA to expand his criminal empire (also coming into conflict with the "Kingpin of LA" as well).

Captain Hammer is one of their agents disposing of superpowered competition in the guise of a hero. Hammer stopped picking on Billy, not because he was defeated, but because he was accepted into the League. Besides, LA isn't a hot spot for super activities in most universes; and they both had JossWhedon writing about them for a while.

[[WMG: [[DrHorriblesSingAlongBlog The Evil League of Evil]] is a cover for The Pride.]]

** {{Jossed}}, though I doubt you were that serious. Molly has actually made several appearances and so has the team and the Runaways will be showing up in {{Daken}}'s book.

[[WMG: The Gibborim are the Marvel Universe's HaruhiSuzumiya, and The Pride was the SOS Brigade.]]

* ''AvengersAcademy'' has apparently quashed this. Nico sent Old Lace's body to another dimension, where she was revived by one of the locals.

* Nico enchanted the Yorkes to know exactly what would happen to Gert, but not to be able to do anything about it. The Hayes's? Are ''telepaths''. So the Yorkes couldn't do something, but the Hayes's, once they "read" what had happened, just might...

** In a variant though, it could be that the Hayes read the memory and that somehow unlocked the spell or weakened it, allowing the Yorkes to act.

[[WMG: Xavin will be taken prisoner when the Majesdaneans realize she's not the real Karolina while other Majesdaneans will return to Earth for the real Karolina.]]

** The key words are "Things have changed". It is because she became more powerful after the torture in the XIX century, as it was already mentioned at that story arc. She did not want Alex to have the Staff, but neither wanted to kill him... and it's the same thing with this other guy: he was a villain, but he hadn't done anything so serious or personal to make her want to kill him, rather than just defeat him.

[[WMG: The Gert lookalike who [[spoiler: got Chase hit by a car]] did so deliberately.]]

[[WMG: Xavin will fake his death at the hands of the Majesdaneans]]
* We've seen that Xavin can survive a good many attacks that would be fatal to someone with human biology, particularly a snapped neck and a gunshot wound. It's possible that while impersonating Karolina, he will make no attempt to defend himself and be given some sort of death sentence that he can secretly survive with his shapeshifting biology. When his "body" is abandoned, he will then sneak back to Earth. If the plan does work, it would ensure that Karolina is safe for good, since she'd be presumed dead by the Majesdaneans.
** True but Majesdaneans, having fought Skrulls for years, would know how to kill one.

[[WMG: Chace is an alternate reality version of [[TheBreakfastClub John Bender]]]]

[[WMG: Molly can see the future.]]
In addition to the time where she predicted exactly how Chase survived having a missile shot at him, later in the storyline, when Chase leaves in the time machine, Molly says that he will be back, "probably with some cool weapons or something." Sure enough, next time we see him he has his Fistigons back.

[[WMG: Molly's psychic powers can connect with the psychic connection between Chase and Old Lace.]]

Her parents are time travelers. The steampunk time machine was actually a TARDIS, making her parents renegade Time Lords.

* Probably left earth to look for Xavin. The proof is the fact that someone has finally filled the void the Pride left and calling himself "The Kingpin of LA" (MoonKnight book). And {{Daken}} has also moved to LA to expand his criminal empire(Also coming into conflict with the "Kingpin of LA" as well).
* {{Jossed}} The Runaways will show up in Daken's book and they'll have a guest appearance in Avengers Academy(Who are also now in LA). There are multiple books in LA now actually.

Where she has a different name and Chase wasn't a part of the Runaways.
It would explain why she didn't respond to the name "Gert" and why there was a dinosaur in the alley behind her before Chase was hit. It's possible that
in the alternate reality her parents or Chase's parents didn't join the Pride and she travels between realities instead of time to differentiate herself from her parents.

Standard Marvel canon has it established that time travel does not change the future but instead creates a divergent timeline where those changes have been made. Runaways has changed the future at least three times via time travel (Gert coming back to warn them about Victor so that he never kills the Avengers, Mr. Wilder coming forward in time and killing Gert so she never becomes an Avenger and starting a gang war in 1908 and bringing Klara back to the present with them) this is before we even count everything the Yorkes would have been doing before the series started. Runaways takes place in a divergent universe that explains the strange connection to real world time as obossed to ComicBookTime in relation to the rest of the universe, how the Pride never came into conflict with the West Coast Avengers and how the Secret Invasion happened one year sooner (Joss Whedon's trip that took a year in real world time that should only have been about a second of comic book time) and all other descripancies with canon that aren't caused by [[AWizardDidIt Nico's spell casting or Xavin being a SKRULL!!!111one11!!]]

** Actually, plenty of vampires survived that and the spell was eventually reversed, we've even seen Dracula several times in recent stories(Teaming up with Doom, the Curse of The Mutants story where the X-men fought Dracula's son Xarus, the current Hulk vs Dracula mini, tec.). Hell, there was a Blade book going on back then and there were vampires there too(Because, without Vampires, Blade is out of a job). So really, Topher doesn't contradict anything, since Vampires had returned, quite clearly.

** {{Jossed}}, though i doubt you were that serious. Molly has actually made several appearances and so has the team and The Runaways will be showing in {{Daken}}'s book.

She's still being tortured by the Witchbreaker. This would explain why we never saw the Witch Breaker releasing her, which would seem like an OffscreenMomentOfAwesome. The moment hasn't happened yet.
* Please let this be true. Please Please Please.

When the Runaways ran into the past versions of the Steins, Nico enchanted them to always remember what would happen to their daughter, but leave them powerless to tell anyone about it. It's possible that they found some sort of loophole around the spell and were able to rescue or create a "back-up" to go on instead. Somehow, this second version doesn't have the original's memories and thus was unable to recognize Chase.

** The key words are "Things have changed". It is because she became more powerful after the torture in the XIX century, as it was already mentioned at that story arc.
