Quasar & Moondragon

[skemono]

Since our overlords commanded it, so mote it be! Here are two scenes from Annihilation: Conquest: Quasar between Phyla-Vell and Moondragon.


The issue starts with them fighting a Brood. Phyla-Vell snaps (we find out later that Annihilus's personality was sucked into the quantum bands and has been influencing her, I think) and Heather has to talk her down.








At the end of the issue, Moondragon turns into an actual moon dragon. Because... reasons.

Is this story giving Moondragon a "Parallax excuse?"

In other Moondragon info, when she first appeared she was called "Madam MacEvil."

No, the Dragon of the Moon influencing her dates from the tale end of the original run of the Defenders, back in the '80s.

I knew about the Dragon of the Moon. I didn't know it influenced her behavior, as in Korvac wasn't that bad or taking over that one alien planet.

Aye, I remember reading some old Defenders comics back then, there was one where she forced...Cloud was it? To split into two genders or something...gawd it was confusing.

But yeah, I don't know how much that Dragon influences her base personality though. The old 80s comics where she was briefly with the Avengers, she really was an irritating uppity person,up to mindwiping Pietro's 'hatred and bigotry' at one point with no provocation except his constant griping was annoying her.

You can blame that on Jim Shooter, I think.

Cloud was really a sentient nebula (because comics) that accidentally absorbed the minds and memories of Carol Faber and Danny Milligan, giving it a human form and gender identity issues. One of those "You're not X, you only *think* you are X" things comic books do remarkably often.

Carol and Danny were healed and restored in the final issue of DEFENDERS by Moondragon.
