Excalibur #120

Douglock lets Rahne in on all the gossip she has missed during her quarantine with Moira.

I’m just waiting for another one of the X-Men's human allies to be revealed as a bigot. Will it be Stevie Hunter, fed up of all the interruptions to her dance class or that one time Kitty did a racism right to her face? Or will it be Charlotte Jones, who was a cop so we automatically know she was a terrible human being?

I don't belive there's a single Moira apperance before the Krakoa era that actually fits with Moira in the Krakoa era.

Also, I really liked Douglok. He was much better than modern Doug.

Well Moiras first appearance had her display a broad skillset that people remarked on, where did you learn that. And she was the only "human" infected with the legacy virus. So there is some support for the mutant power. Legion seems to have had some idea, his Moria created and destroyed universes.

But the flip to mutant hater? Nope that is never going to work.

I just like to pretend we're actually seeing different lives no matter what anyone says

Could we maybe be seeing reprogramming that came as part and parcel of her being converted to a machine intelligence? I would expect a lot of room for viewpoints and motivations being switched around in that process.

She'd made her decision to wipe out mutants before she got the robot body though.

Ah, did her heel turn come as soon as Mystique zapped her with a neutralizer?

Depends on which Moira. Paul O’Brien went through every Moira appearance and concluded that the retcon that she'd been secretly trying to steer mutant history from the sidelines worked pretty well - that she tends to step into a leadership role when Xavier is gone, for example.

Pure evil traitor Moira works less well.

I do think it's a shame that this Douglock has been forgotten as his being own person, who was erased when Warlock's personality was restored.

I do think it would be fun to see Doug and Warlock realise this and restore the guy into being again.
