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.

And why is she Quasar? What happened to Quasar? Why isn't she Captain Marvel?

(1) Daughter of Mar-Vell, sister of Genis-Vell.
(2) Quasar died in Annihilation and Annihilus took the quantum bands. Phyla managed to steal them back, so she took up the Quasar mantle.
(3) Probably she didn't call herself Captain Marvel because (a) she had the quantum bands, so she was using Quasar's powers; and (b) she had a massive inferiority complex about not being good enough to live up to her father's/brother's name. She didn't feel she was a good enough Quasar, either, but at least the bands kinda made her Quasar regardless.

Oh right! Genis. They should really front line this cosmic stuff more. When I was a kid I got a handful of the Defenders when they were in space for reasons and that stuff seemed to disappear. It was when Cloud was with them. And Mantis was supposed to become space Jesus. And I missed all this Vell siblings stuff and when they brought back the guardians of the galaxy and this giant war I keep hearing about where apparently Nova died. I have a million questions, but I wouldn't even know where to start reading.
