Can Marvel Studios use X-characters on tv? Also, is she considered an X-character legally? I thought she was.

It all gets weird if they aren't a mutant or part of the team. Like how Fox has the rights to Galactus and Silver Surfer as part of the FF thing, but apparently not the rights to the Inhumans.

Actually Marvel has the full TV rights for X-Men, I believe, they just won't use them because it isn't synergistic.

This site says that Fox has movie and tv rights to the x-dudes. I have no idea how good the research for this article was, though.

Rumors said they are. Him and Mordo.

But I think they'd go with Night Nurse instead of Clea to have an audience stand in to explain all the magic stuff.

They have cartoon rights, because both Wolverine and Juggernaut were on that Spider-man cartoon (once). They just choose not to use them.

They never went into it actually, people just assumed mutant because there are so drat many of them.

Lame, just being half alien was a perfectly acceptable origin that fit in well with SHEILD in space.

Are they just going to give her every origin? And she got a super soldier gamma irradiated blood trans-fusion from her grandpa, and found equipment from her supervillain aunt, and is actually an alternate universe Summers sibling, and...

On the wiki I looked up, as of Secret Wars she is essentially Inhuman, though she inherited some scienced blood from her dad?

Or did you mean Brand? Because last I checked she was still half mutant. But I admit I haven't checked thoroughly.

I meant Daisy. Someone posted a while back that's the actual line they used or something.

I guess they had to make sure to lock something in for the TV show.

Well Marvel is gonna include Brand as a supporting character in the new post-reboot Captain Marvel so that's a good chance to make whatever tweaks they want.

Really I just want her to be Brand because that actress is such a good casting choice for her.

Constance Zimmer has been cast on AoS as the "mysterious head of a government organization" who butts heads with Coulson. Which sounds a lot like Abigail Brand and SWORD.

I don't care who she's playing, but Constance Zimmer is KILLING it right now on UnReal, and everyone should watch it. She'll probably be great on SHIELD, unless her character sucks, which is always a potential risk with that show's writers.

I guess it is for the best that the TV shows neglect the alien versions. Besides, they are looking to do more magic going forward anyway, so magic god powers are cool.

Have we seen the wings in action yet? That's going to make or break them.

Not a bad idea. Get in everybody they can as the more movies DC makes the less likely they are to be able to use them as easily.
