Rise of the Powers of X #1 - "Data Pages"

[laughing_tree]

Fall of the House of X is Gerry doing the enormous, explosive, big-budget, present-day fight against Orchis. I'm doing the multiple timelines, Moira collapsing real space, "What is the nature of the future anyway and can we fight it?" plot. Both metaphorically and physically, because it's an X-Men comic and the metaphor is also physical, and a metaphor you can punch in the face is how one does superhero comics. -- Kieron Gillen

"This is inherently wrong. If you think the writers are writing these characters without having flaws, you are very, very mistaken. In fact, Xavier admits that he still thinks of mutants AS human.

All this tells me is that you haven't actually read anything past HOXPOX."

I've read plenty, and Xavier really is the exception to the rule. Hell, when was the last time there was even a human supporting cast character around?

"He's killing genocidal soldiers. He's killing people who kill children."

He's one of the most empathetic characters and he's leaving people to die a slow death in space.

"Have...have you read ANYTHING? They explain exactly how they produced the metal and exactly why and what Abigail Brand's plan was and how Brand's brand of imperialism was wrong."

You do know that Brand explicitly did not regard mutants and humans as different, right? And for that, she was *ahem* branded a villain.

"Wow, you really didn't read anything. Feilong was jealous because his parents were mutants and he wasn't, yes...but his main source of rivalry was with TONY STARK, a HUMAN."

Feilong's rivalry might be with Stark, but he's explicitly targeted mutants as well. Stark is just a guy Feilong wants to prove himself better than.

I notice that you haven't addressed their treatment of Moira at all, btw. Kinda telling, that

"Hell, when was the last time there was even a human supporting cast character around?"

Tony Stark, Steve Rogers, Craig Marshall, the Fisher King. Oops, looks like you are wrong.

"Feilong's rivalry might be with Stark, but he's explicitly targeted mutants as well."

Because he's a sociopath.

"I notice that you haven't addressed their treatment of Moira at all, btw. Kinda telling, that."

I didn't address it because it's not relevant. Your concept of the Moira retcon is fundamentally flawed, because you are still thinking of Moira as human, when she never has been. That makes your entire argument pointless.

I notice you haven't commented on the page I posted, where Storm and Magneto agree that all outcast humans and mutants need to work together in order to protect themselves. Kinda telling, that.
