History WMG / XMen

Claremont could sense the rise of UsefulNotes/TheDarkAgeOfComicBooks and wanted to protect his creation, both from the overly-sexualized artwork of the future Image stars and from the likelihood of her being killed off as Marvel went DarkerAndEdgier. This way, he got to write her and Alan Davis, an artist with older sensibilities, got to draw her. Being able to keep Rachel Summers and Nightcrawler safe was an added bonus.

* Amusingly enough, at least one story supports this ''X-Factor Forever'' features CloningBlues aficionado Mr. Sinister as a villain, and he notably pumps out clones en masse of both Sabretooth ''and Wolverine'' (who apparently never reformed and is a Marauder in this reality) to throw at that X-Men. If Wolverine can be cloned in one reality, it's safe to say he can be cloned in any of them.

[[WMG:Layla Miller is the Franchise/MarvelUniverse's LightNovel/HaruhiSuzumiya, and X-Factor is her SOS Brigade.]]

Unless it's a case of interspecies adoption, ''Film/TheMuppets'' would seem to indicate than humanoid muppets can, like mutants, be born of human parents. And they certainly look the part. It might also explain why they're not bundles of massive angst.

Cable is the baby from Genosha who first appeared in ''Uncanny X-Men'' #235, and then [[Characters/MarvelComicsMadelynePryor Madelyne Pryor]] got hold of in #238. During an offscreen moment during ''Comicbook/Inferno1988'', Pryor switched her baby with the Genoshan baby (just like [[Film/EscapeFromThePlanetOfTheApes Zira switched Milo/Caesar]]) as a secret ''Screw You'' at both Cyclops and Mr Sinister. The (never named) Genosha baby became Cable, while the actual Nathan Christopher Charles Summers is still [[FromNobodyToNightmare out there somewhere in the world]].

*** Doug Ramsey and many others are resurrected for Necrosha, although they [[Main/CameBackWrong aren't quite themselves]]. His [[Main/FaceHeelTurn switch to the Dark Side]] however, finally allow him to subvert his decades-long [[Main/BlessedWithSuck uselessness in a fight]]- though "Evil Doug" [[Main/IKnowYoureInThereSomewhereFight may not be permanent]].

At the risk of being obvious... it seems unlikely that Corsair's really dead, even though he's the sort of Main/CListFodder that you can get away with killing. (He hadn't been seen for some time, and so he's more expendable to Main/TheVerse than characters who got [[Main/KilledOffForReal a lot deader]].) Anyway... "The Rise and Fall of the Shi'ar Empire" was a lot bloodier than many an X-Men arc, with limb-ripping ahoy. Corsair's "death" was much cleaner than any other in the entire arc (and there were many), and his body was buried on a habitable but uninhabited planet... the perfect place to leave a character you want to [[UnexplainedRecovery get better]] but not return right away.

Jean Grey's gonna come back. When she does, she'll find out the world's been rewritten since she's been gone into a place she really, ''really'' doesn't wanna be. So, either we have another [[Main/EarthShatteringKaboom cosmic temper-tantrum]] looming on the horizon, or one massive Main/FixFic by the Powers that Be after Quesadilla leaves. Maybe both.

*** [[RuleofThree Orrrrr]] Jean Grey and the Phoenix get over their collective mental problems and realize something is fishy so she gathers a dream team of [[DroppedaBridgeonHim dead]] and [[ChuckCunninghamSyndrome forgotten]] characters to help her find, gang-up on and collectively beat the ever loving crap out of whoever is doing this. (the characters I have in my head for this are Wasp and the Pat Mulligan version of Toxin) Cue them finding [[ComicBook/OneMoreDay Mephisto about to erase the Parker's marriage]] while hiding either a Cosmic cube or the Infinity Gauntlet behind his back. Cue the Phoenix smacking the Macguffin out of his hand and a hilariously over the top curbstomp battle. Then they could either just retcon stuff out at their leisure or they could pull a Crisis on Infinite earths style reboot.

* Specifically, her ancestral line is descended from the Faltine, the same other-dimensional race as [[DoctorStrange Dormammu]]. Most of the women in Storm's family line possess her unique traits of white hair and blue eyes, and many have been skilled magic users -- one of them was even Sorcerer Supreme, before the Ancient One (DoctorStrange's mentor and predecessor). In addition, Strange's wife Clea, who hails from the Faltine's native dimension, also possesses white hair and blue eyes. Lastly, when Storm gets sufficiently angry (as has only happened a small handful of times), her hair turns into a combination of fire and lightning, looking much like the Flames of Regency (the burning halo of flames around the head) that mark a Faltine. She still qualifies as a mutant, since her weather powers are not magical in origin, and Faltine ancestry is well back in her genealogy, but the signs are still there, especially since so many alternate universe versions of her are also sorceresses or tied to magic in some way.

...[[FoeYay needs no further explanation]].

** Selene is not the only ancient mutant though. Apocalypse, Exodus, the Externals, and others all predate the US Government by hundreds to thousands of years. An UltimateMarvel-style mutant conspiracy would not only require TimeTravel but a GovernmentConspiracy of unprecedented scope even by comic book standards.

* Greg Pak's ''ComicBook/WeaponX2017'' left him in a lobotomized state, and whether he was still inverted or finally reverted was ambiguous. Marduk Kurios thought he was mentally broken at first, but theorizes he may have been fixed instead. Not wanting to claim Victor while he was mentally deficient, Marduk released him from Hell to heal & earn his way back. Mathew Rosenberg was the next writer to use him in his ''ComicBook/UncannyXMen2018'' tie-in for ''ComicBook/WarOfTheRealms''. There, Sabretooth is unquestionably evil again. But Rosenberg's Uncanny X-Men, along with the other current X-run has been stated by Hickman, and assistant editor, Chris Robinson, to be very lax on editorial mandate. The former saying the only mandate was for writers to go nuts & swing away. That being the case, Rosenberg's evil Creed may be filler that has no bearing on Hickman's future plans & use of him. The images from Hickman's run show Creed sporting his [[https://66.media.tumblr.com/483a292fd4ea81df4e366c6288a3776e/tumblr_prt7kuC0HJ1ssl5cvo1_1280.jpg Weapon X-Force]] design, compared to Rosenberg's [[https://s3.amazonaws.com/comicgeeks/comics/covers/large-8656391.jpg?1558542310 long-haired, street-clothed, Creed]]. He appears to be [[https://s3.amazonaws.com/comicgeeks/comics/covers/large-5944399.jpg?1558717026 working with Magneto, who is sporting a trademark '''X''' costume]] & whom he worked for during Cullen Bunn's ''ComicBook/UncannyXMen2015''.

[[WMG:The Quicksilver we see now is not the real Quicksilver, but a creation of Wanda's powers.]]

Wanda killed the real Pietro in yet another fit of insanity, and to deal with this, replaced him with one created from her reality-warping abilities, similar to how she made her children. At first, it acted much like the real Pietro did; however, as Wanda removed herself farther and farther from reality, so did the Pietro clone, and began to act erratically. When everyone realized Wanda was losing it, Pietro, being part of her mind and symbolizing all she wanted to hold on to, attempts to protect herself by urging her to create the House of M world. The reason why Wanda was able to 'resurrect' Pietro when Magneto killed him out of rage, was that it wasn't Pietro, but something she created from her memories. Afterward, without Wanda to direct his actions, Pietro went completely off the rails going off her last state of mind. It isn't until Wanda chooses to live in obscurity and relative normalcy that 'Pietro' begins to regain a modicum of sanity.
