Hopefully they'll use a bunch of these characters more anyway. Since it sounds like the writers want to use them, win/win. Since we were just talking about costumes, cool to hear Jean and Scott have later 80s X-Factor (I gather) costumes now. Looking good! I have the X-Tinction Agenda book with those looks, but haven't gotten there yet.

That was Hellions, forgot to mention. Sage couldn't be more wrong, too. Also, it's sort of weird to me that one of the highlights of my week is Daken + Aurora's growing relationship. This is the weirdest ship I ever shipped. It is rather wholesome, though.

Speed geeking out at Northstar was another great touch and I loved Lorna and Rachel bit about "saying that to all the girls" - X-Factor is really clicking for me now. Super interested in Prodigy et al's mysterious deaths and the Morrigan. Hellions including Arcade is making me feel like the book is written for me. Can't wait for these actually very competent individuals to fall apart yet further (though Mastermind ups the difficulty some). Chalk up Psylocke + Greycrow as another ship I would never have thought of but one that I am fully on board with. Metalshark fucked around with this message at 19:18 on Feb 3, 2021 |

Wait a minute, is Wanda's imaginary son Speed still a mutant? I can't keep up with this stuff anymore and I didn't think much of the fact he just strolled into Krakoa to visit Prodigy. Except if he isn't mutant anymore then everyone in the island including security would have thrown a fit, right? And Wanda isn't because reasons or Fox or something. Comic books!

I really hope Speed's arrival on the island does in fact cause major waves later, because the framing of Wanda as the (not) mutant antichrist is probably a top 5 "Hey, what's up with THAT?" big questions about Krakoa, along with the precog, clone, and AI stuff

The problem isn't his relation with the "Pretender", but the fact if he is allowed in Krakoa or not. And him being mutant (or not) is what would matter in that situation. No humans (powered or otherwise) are allowed in other than two exceptions: Northstar's husband and Jubilee's kid. Mutants can't even apparently bring in their non-mutant family members (which I expect to be a plot point at some time). Anyway, if Speed isn't, and he just rushed in on the island, uninvited, I imagine that would be considered a catastrophic failure by their security teams, sort of like when the Fantastic Four sneaked in.

Non-mutant family are pretty much allowed. Scott kept asking his dad to stay but he wanted to go have space adventures. Prodigy referred to Speed as his guest and he did just show up, but he's probably got the workplace relationship form filled out or whatever. I don't think the plot point's been elaborated on a ton but it seems like anyone's cool as long as you have someone to vouch for them.

I don't know how well it square's with how it's been shown to work in the past, but Daken's explanation of his powers made him seem a lot less rapey than previous comics he's been in. That and referring to Laura and Gabby as his sisters (I assume that's who he was referring to).

lmao at Marauders opening with "this is all happening because of Venom? Spider-Man needs to get a hold on his guys" and Pyro calling X-Force cops, and ending with all the human trafficking victims begging to be let off in Canada instead of America. also the swerve where you think Magneto is going to be the spoiler but today we get Magneto the X-Man saving humans

Prodigy referred to Speed as his guest and he did just show up, but he's probably got the workplace relationship form filled out or whatever. Yeah, wasn't Cannonball's non-mutant family there for The Crucible issue? They brought various delegates there. Given Prodigy's powers and the huge number of psychics on Krakoa you'd want some form of information exchange with the rest of the world that involved physical visitations from human experts in whatever fields. I'd need to dig out HoxPox to check but I thought the way it was first explained, all mutants can go through gates, mutants can bring humans with them, but Krakoa might say no. Scott lives on the moon, so he wasn't inviting his dad to stay on Krakoa, but he gave his dad a gate, with the implication his dad could use it to visit his house on the moon, unaccompanied, so there's a way for non mutants to be able to use a gate without a mutant. Honestly, the gates as a security system has more holes in it than a block of Swiss cheese, those geriatric botanists were able to hack it, in X-Force humans were able to graft mutant skin on them to bypass it, Scott's dad can use at least one, just because he's Scott's dad.

That's definitely what he did, it's just that Krakoa should probably be set up in a way that that shouldn't work. Or maybe he's a mutant, in addition to all his other bullshit, it's not like every single mutant moved to Krakoa.

I don't see why Speed wouldn't still be a mutant. Wanda made him when she was still/still thought she was one.

speed being a mutant with the same power as his sort-of-uncle who currently has never been a mutant wouldn't be any stranger than anything else about his existence.

Also, the opsec for Krakoa has loving sucked since the first issue of X-Force. And I'm pretty sure that's been done on purpose. HoxPox: We are unassailable, and even if you trap us away from the island we will always come back. X-Force #1: We are absolutely assailable X of Swords #1: Oh yeah, that "we will always come back" thing, not entirely true.
