Monet St. Croix Appreciation

[That JonoGuy]

I thought I'd bump this up as Monet discussion has popped up in the Bishop threads.

Maybe the conversations can be moved here.

[yanapryde]

Is it true that there is going to be a very Monet-centric storyline coming up in X-Factor? Dirty Sexy something or other?

I heard a rumor.
Y'all Monet-fans would be the ones to verfiy I assume.
Yes, no?

I loves me some Monet St.Croix.

I think it begins in X-Factor #42 (but I could be wrong!:confused: )
Maybe PAD will read this and set me straight...:biggrin:

The Monet story takes place in X-Factor #44 actually
The story being called "Dirty, Sexy Monet"
we also get to see Siryn with some wine as well
PAD mentioned this in another thread, but I know it's bound to be good

Here's the direct quote

I have a pretty cool sequence with Siryn and a bottle of wine lined up for issue #44. Also you guys should like the title of that issue: "Dirty, Sexy Monet."

Yay for her, but her first appearance is wrong:frown:

That list is a bit f-ed up though. They have Namorita and her spotlight issue is the series where the NW were portrayed as complete idiots? I mean come on. geez.

Great scans!

Monet has had really good scenes in X-Factor.

Was it ever explained how the whole of the St. Croix clan seemed to be able to merge with each other?

[Justin K.]

I think it's the twins that can only merge.
I looked up on Monet, no sign of it in her powers
It could have something to do with Emplate's powers too
If he was able to bond M to Penance, who knows what else he could do
that's just a guess though...

I could understand the twins thing. It just got a little confusing when Emplate got involved. Then of course there was the switcharoo between the twins and the real M. That all just makes very little sense to me.

Speaking of the twins, would you have rather they stayed with original intent of their story with the Twins being M?

I though the initial idea was in interesting one, but to be honest I kinda like the fact that M is just one person. Although, I would have rather it had not involved the mess it made with Penance.

If M remained as the twins, we wouldn't have who she is in X-Factor :tongue:
Honestly, Monet was a bit trickier to write for, with the complicated origin
throughout the years after that, things have been clearing up for her
I hope we get to see Emplate and/or the M twins again though
Just as long as there's not more complicated stuff going on, unless it is meant to clear it up of course
PS, Nice avatar :smile:

[That JonoGuy]

Can the twins still merge to form "M"? I think we need to have a story where the twins go about masquerading as M and see how she reacts.

[Justin K.]

That would be awesome, a great way to bring them back into the loop
Even more awesome if Emplate was involved
X-Factor #13 and Monet's fear of her brother was a great issue
It would be cool to see her and X-Factor confront them

[coconutphone]

Agree. Any more of Monet's past with her fam is welcome. Did the twins end up being individuals again? Shipped off to school or something?

[HellFrost]

Yes, the twins did in fact become individual beings once again. And Penance is supposed to a an empty shell given her own life.

Also, I dont think it's just the twins that form the merge. I'm willing to bet that they all can. I'd love to see the specific combinations between them. I wonder if an M and a Monet would create a Super M! LOL

I hope that Marius comes back soon. He's such an amazing and scary villain. The combination of his mutation and scorcery is one of the more interesting of the magic mutants and would love to see if he's progressed with them. It would be interesting if maybe he got depowered and worked more on his magic based abilities.

The fact that there's very few mutants would be a good reason to bring Marius back
He hungers on mutants, and well, his hunger will overcome him eventually
With the lingering population and all that stuff

[Slung]

No no no. We can't ever see the twins again. It is best for all involved if we pretend that the Monet in GenX 1 (the most witty and interesting Monet) is the same Monet we have now. So, no twins. Ever. Unless it is to somehow fix the retcon that Monet was not really Monet. Ugh. I hate Larry Hama.

[That JonoGuy]

Here are some more M avatars I made with art from Steve Pugh.

[That JonoGuy]

Which artists depiction of Monet have you liked the least?

I know I just posted some Steve Pugh avatars of Monet, but for the most part I did not care for his depiction of her.

[Sugarbombz]

Aside from a few scenes like your avatars TJG and justinkos, I did not like Raimondi's.

[RickyD410]

The only Monet depictions that I've seen of her are from the current X-Factor. I've never read Generation X. But of the ones that I've seen, I absolutely hated Stroman's. But that kinda goes without saying. My favorite depiction is probably Ryan Sook's version. With Bachalo's as a close second.

Stroman was pretty bad. He did have some brief glimpses of a semi-recognizable M(or other characters for that matter), but for the most part it hardly looked like the same character.

Will M's role in the near future be of consoling Siryn?

[Justin K.]

Will M's role in the near future be of consoling Siryn?

Whether or not it happens, it's nice to see M having a soft side
Her and Siryn's friendship, I like. It's a nice homage to her and Jubilee
Her and Jubes both lost Synch, Siryn lost Baby Sean
For both, it was tragedy that brought them together, but I really hope M is portrayed as a good friend
seeing she was by Terry's side after she had the baby.

It should happen, and Rahne should come back to help. If it were real life it would happen that way I think? :smile:

i HATED the Bachalo Monet. It was during the time that we found out M was actually the twins, but because he drew ALL the Gen X to look like toddlers you lost the impact of "M is really two younger sisters"


btw Monet isn't black. She's Algerian with Monagaque citizenship, so she's actually more Arab in ethnicity than black.

That was the latter era or Bachalo's run, when he was experimenting with his style. Needless to say his earlier work on the character was far better.

No? Okay then. Here's what I know:
When Marvel accidentally leaked that Jean Grey Uncanny cover, they also leaked the previews for the other issues coming out the same week (June 10) as well. The X-Factor issue coming out that week is centered on Monet.

How powerful a telepath is M?

Since this is Monet Central, I'm hoping someone can provide instances where her relative strength has been mentioned or displayed. I'm also wondering whether she favors any telepathic specialties, or if she tends to be more generic.

Monet is one of Marvel coolest female mutants and I hope she's around until the end of time, at least for most people.

Monet is a basic telepath. She has a smorgasbord of powers (pretty much leaving the rest of the team unnecessary) so it makes sense that her telepathy wouldn't be over-powered. She was once described as being as strong as Juggernaut and as intelligent as Professor Xavier. She has invulnerability and heightened senses as well as flight.

Some highlights of psi powers
She (well, the twins who copied her down to her powers) was able to overpower Emma's telepathy.

We've seen her mindwipe the passengers of a subway car.

She has planted nightmare suggestions in the minds of others.

X-FACTOR #44 & #45
Written by PETER DAVID
Penciled by VALENTINE DE LANDRO & MARCO SANTUCCI
Covers by DAVID YARDIN
"DIRTY SEXY MONET" AND "CORTEX"
Monet St. Croix: Smoking hot. Steamy. Gorgeous. Did we mention she was smoking hot? And suddenly she's taking charge of protecting X-Factor's client from a serial killer while displaying extreme romantic interest in one of the team. Business as usual? Or something darkly sinister going on? And if you were the one Monet was coming on to, would you care? Meanwhile: what is "Cortex"? The word keeps coming up in Madrox's serial killer investigation. Now he confronts the one individual who may hold the answers: None other than Victor Von Doom--but it's Doctor Doom as you've never seen him before. The shocks never stop and the surprises never let up!

She's Berber (or Arabic), not black. She may be dark skinned but they have cultures and ethnicities that are not determined purely by skin color. Not everywhere is like the United States. Do you consider dark skinned Arabic or Indian people black? I'm just curious. :redface:

I don't remember Bachalo ever describing Monet as black in the sketch pages of gen X (its been awhile though). I remember him saying Monet was like a cross between Jean Grey and Rain Man. And another sketch saying she was as strong as Juggernaut with a brain like Xavier.

By the by, why is Monet's superior intellect NEVER brought up in X-Factor. The girl is scary smart.

Monet just screams class and sophistication. Emma just looks like someone you'd pick up on a street corner.

Monet wins! :biggrin:

Monet's expression may not be the best, but her outsit looks great
But the Emma pic, I imagine it smelling like Cheese & Tuna
I like them both character wise, but M gets my vote of the 2 pics.

I wish I could think of other great Emma/Monet moments (obviously when Emma psi lightnings Monet). Monet always seemed a little classier than Emma to me.

M as anything but two twin girls with telepathy and telekinesis fused into one being does not work.

Really? She seems to be working just fine now.

[coconutphone]

Yeah esepcially when you consider that they impersonated her actual powers and personality.

I loves Monet especially her early Lobdell/Bachalo days and her newer PAD days.

[Justin K.]

Could early M have been smarter because it was 2 girls fused together?
Two minds working together would obviously be more powerful
Or is it a forgotten trait of the real M that hasn't really been touched up on?

but i wondered what they wouldve done if chris had had his way and M really was just the twins bonded

[Justin K.]

idk why, but I wanna see M vs her sisters merged together

she'd work better as her original concept. it had limitless story potential.

No doubt it had limitless story potential. Unfortunately, we have to deal with what we have now. I don't know about you, but I don't want any more convoluted stories added to the St. Croix history.

I have been reading some older threads and I noticed that some people seem to think M killed that man in France when Siryn and her went on their shopping trip. Did I miss something? I was pretty sure he was still alive asking for help when they made their getaway.

Do you consider Monet a killer?

[Justin K.]

Do you consider Monet a killer?

http://i123.photobucket.com/albums/o296/justinkos91/M-Jail.jpg

In other words, no.
M and Siryn were trying to protect the former mutants from the riots
it got violent, and they turned themselves in to prevent anyone from being hurt
The guy mocking them for their failure didn't help any, and I would agree with what M did
They tried to stop those former mutants from being burned out, they were stopped instead
Normally, M wouldn't kill, I couldn't see that, but I guess you could call it a political statement
I don't think she actually killed him, but it was good torture. He helped burn out those former mutants
he gets taken out by mutants. he got what was coming to him.

[SayOcean]

I think M would be a killer, I think as penance she was shown to having almost killed sean and husk

[That JonoGuy]

I don't think Monet killed that man, so i wouldn't consider her a killer. She knew that there would be people around to help him. If she had done the same thing in an isolated area where no one would be able to help, then I might see her actions in a bit more darker light. I don't agree with her actions, but she certainly made a statement.

[That JonoGuy]

That was a bit different situation though. She had been held prisoner and fed on by her brother for years. She was more or less acting in the interest of survival.

I'm sure she has been there plenty of times before, but the incident I was referring to was from her time with Banshee's X-Corp. If you hadn't read it, I recommend it.

[x_goalkeeper]

Do you consider Monet a killer?

I think she could be a killer if she needed to. Being taught by Emma Frost, and her personality, seem to make her able to kill.. but only if needed probably.

[Perfection/Emma 2]

Nice Monet scans and to that guy, that what happens when U make Monet mad lol.

[Justin K.]

Nice Monet scans and to that guy, that what happens when U make Monet mad lol.

I think we saw M be more aggressive in the later years of Gen X
Especially after Synch's death, though it brought her and Jubilee closer together
It would be nice to see her and Jubes interact again, seeing how both have grown up so much.

[The Black Guardian]

I think she could be a killer if she needed to. Being taught by Emma Frost, and her personality, seem to make her able to kill.. but only if needed probably.
I'm not so sure that she could be if needed. I don't think her personality lends itself to such aberrant behaviour. The girl's got a heart, a very big one. It's just not something she wears on her sleeve. Emma's viciousness toward the end of GenX really creeped her out, and she seems very capable of drawing the line. She could have easily killed that guy in Paris, and Magneto Knows he deserved it, but she didn't even come close.

From dancing to Right Said Fred and wearing a Stones shirt, I really don't know where her musical tastes lie.

If all else fails, just go by the assumption that she listens to the same music you like. If works for me. :biggrin:

[Justin K.]

She was also listening to Bad Day by Daniel Powter
After the whole Mutant Town fiasco as well.

My song for her would be "She's so cold" by Rolling Stones.
Part of the reason stands with her Rolling Stones shirt
Most of it is in the lyrics, describing a hot woman with a cold personality
The lyrics, "I'm so hot for her" reminds me of "Dirty, Sexy Monet"
The "She's so cold" represents her cruel streak.

[That JonoGuy]

Since Monet's father is an Ambassador, does that mean she has diplomatic immunity?

[x_goalkeeper]

With a little thought I think Just A Girl by No Doubt suits her.. maybe not the sound but the theme of the song =)

[x_goalkeeper]

Since Monet's father is an Ambassador, does that mean she has diplomatic immunity?

I think it would not apply unless she is under the care of her father? I am only guessing =)

i mean but she did try and slice up gen x...lol

[The Black Guardian]

It's flat-out impossible for a person to die from such wounds (unless there's an additional factor involved, like infection or something). What she did was no worse than giving someone a bloody nose. Looks creepier, sure, but that's why she said she was just making a statement.

I just had to say that picture That JonoGuy posted comparing Emma and Monet in chairs was great... Monet wins every time!

Agree. Emma looks freaking awful there.

I liked the Gen X explanation of her powers: perfection (super smart, super strong, super beautiful, telepathic, can fly). And I agree I'd like to see PAD showcase her intellect some more, with of coruse the requisite ego that goes with Monet.

Monet's family being shown/mentioned would also be great. Hoepfully Dirty. Sexy. Monet does some/all of this.

Everyone would get to meet a slightly less obnoxious, and a definitely more eloquent, version of Monet and start to like her more... until they realize, through some course of events, that they actually like their Monet better.

And the possibilities of multiple Madroxes running around with M&M? Fun. Amusing. Worth a try. :D

while the guy thought they were M, what would happen if they unmerged?

[That JonoGuy]

If the M Twins merged together and got pregnant while they were one

I don't think they would be able to separate. If they had gotten pregnant as M, I'd think their body would recognize the life growing in them and prevent them from separating. If they did manage to separate I don't think it would end well for the baby. Interesting question though.

I only realized now that i had issue 46 of Gen X and it was in this issue that monet gave that quotable quote against Ms. Frost. The reactions from the other female students were hilarious.

so in gym class, emma gives some speech about being responsible for using one's powers and not to use them for one's benefit. It didnt take long for our beloved Monet to cut her down to size:

M: uhm, em--- I mean, Ms. Frost. isn't your own personal fortune based on a business that you manipulated with your psi-powers? *major pownage*
Emma agrees to this, though you can tell from her demeanor that M was irking her beyond words. and then she simply had to ask this question:
Emma: don't you think people can change, monet?
Monet: No, ms. Frost. I dont think people can really change. I think they just get better at hiding what they really are. *major major pownage* classic monet, lols

the expression on jubilee's, penance's, and gaia's faces were priceless. they were all: oh no, she didn't......:biggrin: .

Despite having written some questionable stories, Larry Hama actually did a pretty good job with the characterization of the characters. After he was done butchering M's backstory, he was able to give us a character that was pretty much the same as we had known before.

After seeing this comment, I can see why that Monet will probably never be and X-Men. I could see Emma saying to Scott now

Cyclops: All mutants are welcome to Xaviar school for the gifted

Emma: Except Monet

Cyclops: Wha what?

Emma: Unless you want you're daily nightime special, Monet isn't allow to become an X-Men or let alone live the mansion

Cyclops: Okay every mutant except Monet can join the X-Men

Emma: "I hope the Leper Queen catches that bitch"

Mean while at the X-factor house as Monet watches the latest news that fellow mutants Boom Boom, Hellion, and Surge has gone missing

Monet: I hope that bitch Ms. Frost turns up missing too, I hope the Leper Queen got her ass

[That JonoGuy]

After seeing this comment, I can see why that Monet will probably never be and X-Men.

Didn't Xavier refer to members of X-Corporation as trained X-Men? That would mean M has already been a member before. She may never be a member of a core team of X-Men, but she was considered a member.

It would be a good fight, a new way to utilize certain abilities on both parts.
Though M would have the upper hand, you never know, PAD can be quite unpredictable.

siryn's hand and breast seem to be doing the choking on M lols.

I thought I was the only one who noticed Terry's funbags in M's face.

Maybe it isn't a fight at all. Maybe Siryn is trying to force herself on M. She hasn't had the best luck in the relationship department, and she can get a little bit irrational. Maybe she mistook M's friendship for more. :biggrin:

I just reread part of Morrison's awesome run on New X-Men, and couldn't help but notice that Monet seemed awfully... weak and babylike as compared to her characterization in X-Factor. Any explanation for that?

I'm confused about M's nationality. Could someone please explain this to me? She appeared darker skinned in her earlier appearances, but now she very light skinned. Did she undergo skin bleaching treatment or what?

Gladly. Monet is Algerian. Her skin color was originally a light brown, but over the years she has been getting colored a bit darker.

She went from this (http://media.comicvine.com/uploads/1/18265/384524-115583-m_super.jpg) to this (http://media.comicvine.com/uploads/1/18265/422548-m6_super.jpg).

During Jay Faerber's run on Generation X, colorist Kevin Tinsley brought her back more to her original coloring. Once he left, the colorists who followed went back to making her a bit darker again. Her current coloring for the most part is correct, if not being a slight bit lighter than it should. The previous X-Factor colorist, Brian Reber, was able to closely match her original coloring in Generation X.

She is North African (Algerian) and her father has been portrayed as both white and black. We have posted pictures of North African people before and they have a wide variance in skin color.

[Prodigy55]

She's becoming white because her mutant power is to be perfect. She'll probably get blue eyes and blonde hair eventually :rolleyes:

LOL, I'm joking.

Check the cover of generation X #1 again. M is lighter than Synch. Hell, check issue 5's cover. M is definitively lighter there.

[That JonoGuy]

The fact that M's coloring wasn't always consistent just mean coloring is an art, not a science.

I can play that game too.

The covers to issues 1, 5 and 15 all clearly show M is a lighter color than Synch.

In the first two covers they ARE colored differently. It isn't a "pretty much the same" situation. The fact that you can't seem to see that just suggests to me that maybe you aren't looking hard enough. M getting lighter during the latter of the Dodson era was due to the colorist actually coloring her correctly.

Oh, I'm quite aware of the variety of skin colors Africans come in. I was just confused about her nationality, because I knew she was North African, but I wasn't sure of her ethnicity.

But I am very intrigued by M. I haven't read much about her, so I'm looking for anything M at the moment. Preferably graphic novels of X-Factor and Generation X so I can save a few coins.

The first image was during when Marvel was using Malibu for separations. Needless to say, they kind of f-ed up a lot of the colorists work.

The second image was after the original colorist left and when they started coloring her darker.

The third image actually does have her colored lighter than Synch.

Honestly. You're not proving anything.

I am over it. I'm not the one who keeps pressing the issue.

BTW, the two images you posted don't even show her with the same color.

[That JonoGuy]

sigh I ve proven that M was darker than she is her recent issues......

Was anyone debating that she isn't as dark as she had been portrayed in the past? I thought that was a gimme. I'm just a bit baffled how Jeromy Cox's Monet went from a slightly darker Monet to a relatively lighter one. I'm curious to know what the the reason for that was.

She's obviously is still being portrayed as a woman of color though.

[SayOcean]

OH I Didnt think you were saying she isnt a woman of color.....but her and synch were colored the same in a lot of issues, people just dont give her the color she deserves

[Justin K.]

She's obviously still a woman of color, but she certainly lost a hue or two.

Seeing this makes me miss Raimondi on X-Factor

Do you think Monet's personality has shifted since her time in Generation X? I have heard people say that she is being portrayed differently than she has been. I honestly do not see it, but was curious what you all thought.

She seems more mature, but still has her inner bitch
In the Gen X days, some of the conflicts were more Juevenile
The later Gen X days has shown growth, expecially in the last few
The way she's drawn now too, she looks more adult

I believe she is dark, but not as dark as Synch. I also don't think she is meant to be "black" in the strictest sense of the word. She is meant to be Northern African which is a different ethnicity all-together. I think that is what I'm debating for: her more mediterranean and arabic features that have at times been taken away from her by some of the posters (and artists). She has a unique heritage from other characters and I don't want that stolen from her.

[That JonoGuy]

While I miss Raimondi's X-Factor, Valentine De Landro is doing a bang up job. I certainly would love to see Pablo come back, but I have to say that De Landro is actually much better with the action shots. Sometimes Raimondi's action scenes came off a bit stiff. Especially some of the M scenes in his last arc.

She doesn't have the sophistication and classy wit that she had in the GenX books. I miss that - her "above it all" aire. She also doesn't have the dazzling intellect and vocabulary that seemed such an integral part of her character at the time. Someone said she seems more "mature" now. I disagree, I think she seems more petty now and more vulgar.

Not so much petty and vulgar, but well, she's grown up.
She's not the teen she once was. Maybe being in a school setting had more reason for her to use her smarts.
