Greetings True Believers!

I have a response to Avengers: Children's Crusade #6 which came out today.

You'll want to check out Colonel Green's post if you haven't been following the series.

Enjoy!

Well, Wanda. What about these folks?

Scans are from New X-Men and Decimation: Generation M.













Is Wanda going to wiggle her nose and bring them back? Is Iron Lad going to pop into the time-stream and bring them back?

Somehow I doubt it.

Let Logan gut her or put her in a little power-controlling box where she can re-power mutants one by one. Other then that, she never gets to use her powers again.

But that's not going to happen. I know and understand why but I wanted to voice a feeling that came up after reading CC #6 today.

Okay, so one sec before I continue, unless he wasn't able to start swimming upward, how come he drowned in ten feet of water? I can swim in twelve without any apparatus, and get back up before I lose breath.
OR WAS IT BECAUSE he has no lungs at all? (because then I'd understand it, damn)

I don't blame Wanda for this, honestly, in the first few scans, the writers had this annoying habit of killing kids off every issue, one or a dozen at a time, and I hated that so much you don't even know.

More importantly, I think I'm beginning to understand more why they said that Wanda's "no more mutants" bid as "genocide", though you can't pin the horrors all on one person. There were a lot of people who were equally to blame for this catastrophe besides Wanda.

It's like saying Hitler was the only one who enacted all the horrors of the Naziregime when you know there were millions more behind that, soldiers and authorities and the more violent supporters, some of them almost equally to blame even if they're not named.

Might not be as simple as that, the removal of his mutant physiology might well have been complete agony for him as his entire breathing system was undone whilst he was submerged,. There's a good likelihood he was in no state to try and surface or stop himself trying to breath in an environment he now couldn't cope with.

Well, he did likely have all that water in his body that was no longer being supported as it was with his mutancy. So he might've simply been unable to bring himself with it weighing him down depending on how his powers actually worked.

Maybe he was in such crippling pain as a result of his gills closing up that he passed out, and when he floated to the surface, it was face-down, so he drowned?
