no, no, dead, no, dead, no, unstable, dead.

Yes, I did find this highly amusing. Why do you ask?

Since there are so many characters, suggested tags: creator: john byrne, group: west coast avengers, title: west coast avengers, char: scarlet witch/wanda maximoff

	So Wanda wasn't too powerful or too unstable for their purposes? Oh you poor dumb Omniscient Council of Vagueness! (Reply to this)

	At the time, she was both sane (Vision had just been dismantled/de-emotioned) and normal-powered. This was the beginning of her troubles. (Reply to this) (Thread from start) (Parent)

	I'd never noticed that before. Presumably because her powers of strength and endurance only become active when she is being actively violent or aggressive. (Reply to this) (Thread from start) (Parent)

	This was probably during the time period when the X-Men were believed dead--after Fall of the Mutants. When they relocated to Australia, before Madelyne Pryor went evil in Inferno. (Reply to this) (Thread from start) (Parent)

	Yeah, that would explain why Dazzler (at least I think that's Dazzler on there) is also listed as dead. (Reply to this) (Thread from start) (Parent)

	Well, sice Cyclops is in his X-factor costume, isn't this around one of the times he fluctuated from furry to not-furry? Maybe they're saying his powers were too unstable at the moment? (Reply to this) (Thread from start) (Parent)

	The ellipsis before they say no makes me wonder if they were actually considering him! I've always wanted to see Nightcrawler on the Avengers. (Reply to this) (Thread from start) (Parent)

	His genetic structure had already proved to be volatile when he turned himself into a blue furred semi-simian creature, his psychological profile was suspect because he'd decided to undergo a process which inadvertantly turned him blue and furry, without any testing of the possible side effects.

	These remind me of the little portraits that John Byrne would do of the X-Men, Avengers and Fantastic Four that used to sit in the upper-left corner of the comic cover, in that same rectangle as the Marvel logo, number and price. These aren't as well-rendered, but I don't remember Byrne ever drawing the New Mutants, for example. (Reply to this)

	You misunderstand! The ones rejected for being too powerful weren't unstable enough, (Though Mags gets close!) the ones rejected for being too unstable just weren't powerful enough. you have to pick for maximum clusterfuck potential. (Reply to this) (Thread from start) (Parent)

	Those were common in Marvel at the time, usually it was the series artist who did them, so the New Mutants got Bob McLeod's head shots, then Bill Sienkiewicz did them, and so on. (Reply to this) (Thread from start) (Parent)

	Yeah, but this was after the point where she blew up half of Wundagore Mountain, and was the one Avenger Ultron always made sure to take out first because her powers could affect even an indestructible adamantium opponent. I'd say if Magneto and Apocalypse are too powerful, she should have been ruled out too. (Reply to this) (Thread from start) (Parent)

	Y'know, if they hadn't chosen Scarlet Witch, Shadowcat would probably have been next. Love how Nekra gets a stronger NO while Nightcrawler they're almost considering for a moment. (Reply to this)
