Mutant Gene Poll

[Magneto X]

If you have only these choices about the future of mutantkind, which would you prefer?

To die out: No More Mutants

Continue to struggle to survive as a species

The 198 increased by 2 or 3 new mutants a year

A couple groups reverse the spell on themselves (using the High Ev, Mists, Apoc, Braddock, etc)

Wanda's spell is reversed

Mutants get enough numbers to pose a real supremacy takeover threat

[Pro]

Erm i pick option 13 .. ?

What's option 13?

[Magneto X]

Option 13 is called "Apocalypse's Choice" Only the Alpha and Omega mutants exist. And, except for the Hulk and Sentry, no more humans.

[Pro]

Ah, of the poll choices i'll pick reverse wanda's spell. it was an incredibly lame editorial mandate to get rid of the x-men just in time to steal the mutant registration concept to be used for the avengers. Loathe, it, hate it, wish it never happened.

[Faded]

The whole mutant population is kind of a mess, especially with magic involved.

The only way to solve it is to reverse the spell.

Nonetheless, I just really don't think the way it is now is a strong concept and hopefully it will go through some big changes after the crossover is over and done with.

[Monty_Cristo]

i choose Shortpack.

[Dagger]

While I didn't care for the initial editorial edict, I'd rather they just start building their numbers back up. Maybe bring back the M'Kraan crystal, and have some pass through it, or have it a massive solar flare, and a lot of the mutants whose powers went into it would return to some of the mutants. Anyway, we know we're getting some new ones when Ellis comes to Astonishing next year, so we know we'll be getting more numbers sooner than later anyway.

[GoingGreen]

I choose no more mutants. That way, everyone who hated on Popo for losing her powers and not saying anything when the sentinel was around would be laughed at and taunted. Polaris would join the Avengers and rise to the top, be named Superhero of the century, and she'd have weekend meetings with Ghost-Phoenix on the astral plane so they could gossip.

But really, I chose C.

[Rubicant]

There should've been an option where after Wanda reverses the spell, she gets eaten by Predator X and digested instantly. Hex your way out of that, b*tch.

[Pro]

I wonder what would happen to Polaris if she turned mutant again what with her powers now originating from Apocalypse's gentle ministrations.
For that matter what would happen to the New Warrior ex-mutants if they got their mutant powers back?

[rZi]

I voted spell-reversal, there are simply too many good mutants that need to be in the MU....jubilee WE MISS YOU.

[Pro]

I wonder if Jubilee's chest size will deflate if she becomes a mutant again ..

[GoingGreen]

I wonder if Jubilee's sense of anything fashionable will return if she becomes a mutant again.

[Gene M.]

[Slyfer]

Hmmm So what about the MUTANT/HUMAN WAR....

[Magneto X]

We can take these examples as making it clear the current writers don't expect the mutant powers to return.


Hmm. I was wondering how Magneto's powers might return. The obvious choice is he kept them from the Collective.

The Collective had all powers that were removed. This would include Wanda's powers, most likely. So then, Xorn could have easily reversed the spell himself. Having Xavier's telepathy, Xorn could have also done the memory altering without needing to tap into Xavier. And if Magneto could have kept his whole family's powers, maybe he can reverse it himself. Maybe he's more powerful than ever.

I actually don't want it reversed. And I'm kind of glad Genosha was gone. Getting too many.

[GoingGreen]

Plastic yellow overcoats always look good.

Testify! Now she's got an orange and khaki uniform, and will soon have some brown thing with horizontal lightning lines. Wtf is that about?

[Faded]

I just want Sofia to be a mutant again and I'll stop complaining.

Though if there is going to be sooo little mutants and so many X-Men, I hope (but know it won't happen) cut some of the members.

[Pro]

Hmmm So what about the MUTANT/HUMAN WAR....

Joe Q isn't interested in the theme that has defined the x-men from the very beginning. The only reason he hasn't wiped out the entire x-franchise is because there are some nutjobs who don't agree with him that Avengers is the end all and be all of comicdom. Oh and because Wolverine and Magneto are mutants who still need to make movie money to line his stockholders' pockets with.

[Pro]

If mutants don't number a few thousand at the least after Messiah Complex i quit reading x-men. Really not interested in reading about a handfull of freaks who won't be around in a decade or so.

[Mikl C]

NONE
give me 90s numbers

[Magneto X]

Why wouldn't that apply to radiation-accident powered folks (Hulk, FF, etc). While they aren't cut off, they number fewer far fewer.

[drwho]

Marvel's problem was they made too many dumb mutants with the same powers as already existing ones. I mean these mutations should be rare and not something extremely common with other mutants. So I do think the reduction was a good idea because they were making way too many crappy copy characters. Now when they make mutants they should create a more unique character with different powers.

[jmc247]

The Collective had all powers that were removed. This would include Wanda's powers, most likely.

Wanda's powers didn't register on the list of mutant energy signatures that the Avengers detected from the Collective and had on file.

I suspect if she doesn't touch the M'Krann Crystal and get her X-gene reactivated in Emperor Vulcan that it will be a few years before that happens. Probably when Marvel has Magneto go on his quest to restore mutants, which will happen, just maybe not with the current set of editors in place at Marvel.

It's alphabetical, so not complete. Scarlet Witch would come right after Scanner, would it not, which is obscured from view. I thought it was confirmed she lost her power. The default of where it would go is where all the other powers went.

[Pro]

The theme for the book is about a new race of humans with superpowers and their struggle for co-excistence with humans. There is no more mutant race, there are just 198 freaks who happen to have a gene in common.

[Polaris Rocks]

I find myself agreeing with you about M-day. I was pretty iffy about Marvel taking away Polaris being a mutant. The entire HoM is pretty much depowered and being mutants was important to all of their characters. Its hard not to think M-day hasn't taken away much of the whole minority rights motif.

It has. Once a minority is almost extinct, it's less about their rights, and more about just preventing their extinction.

I suspect the HoM won't get their X-gene back until the next set of editors at Marvel allows Magneto to go on a quest to undo M-Day leading to a somewhat increased mutant population. Certainly not to Morrison levels, but much higher then those today.

[Magneto X]

That would make Magneto an out and out savior.

And Beast would have to bow down in respect.

[Pro]

Except there is no reason to assume at this point magneto has anything whatsoever to do with mutant repowerment. Not saying it couldn't work out that way but it was the mutant birth that triggered the appearance of two timelines in which mutants appear again, not anything that magneto did.

The only thing that ties magneto to MC is that Skids gave Magneto a book of prophesies. More likely is that magneto is responsible for the mutant-human war that results in mutants being stashed away in mutant ghettoes as seen in the flashforwards and that said events will follow a repowerment of mutants. I'm not sure condemning the entire mutant race to internment camps makes Magneto a savior though.

Like i said not saying magneto couldn't have anything to do with mutant repowerment at all, just doesn't seem likely at this point in time.

I did not say I think the storyline was coming soon, I said I think it will happen. But, it may take a different set of editors and writers in charge sometime a few years down the road.

The balance of power (X-Men vs Avengers) will shift back toward the X-Men again.

[Fatguy]

I keep just seeing "Mutant Gene Pole" and it keeps me out of this thread till now.

[Pro]

Yea but as i tried pointing out mutant repowerment seems to be tied into MC rather than a storyline with new editors and writers in charge sometime a few years down the road. Guess i wasn't clear enough.

Mutant repowerment for babies doesn't change jack for the X-Men and Magneto unless they are going to set up nurseries to protect mutant babies and slowly send them all to the future to be aged and brought back.

[Pro]

Mutant repowerment for babies doesn't change jack for the X-Men and Magneto unless they are going to set up nurseries to protect mutant babies and slowly send them all to the future to be aged and brought back.

But again, and after that I'll quit trying to explain, there doesn't seem to be a reason to assume repowerment will only apply to babies. There is simply not enough information to make such assumptions, let alone tie in magneto as the savior who repowers adult mutants.

But there is reason to assume that we will soon see a repowerment of mutants, small or large scale, given what Masque proclaimed just prior to MC.
That a war between mutants and humans will happen soon rather than some 20 years from now. It would be the dumbest move in the world for a tiny band of terrorists to push for a war that will only arrive 20-30 years from now when the new generation of mutants has grown up. Granted Masque isn't the brightest star in the sky and he was mistaken about his own role in the grand scheme of things but it's so far the closest clue to a time scale when it concerns adult mutant repowerment.

And there were two timelines with mutants popping up as a direct result of the baby being born. If Magneto has anything to do with repowering mutants then why are mutants suddenly popping up on Forge's futurescope after the baby is born if Magneto is the one responsible for repowering mutants?

Why would the x-men be called an army rather than a family after MC if there will still only be 198 mutants after MC? Seems to me calling them an army implies that the war is far closer than sometime in the future. If the baby birth is not directly tied to mutant repowerment why the mention of a new status quo after MC if it is not directly tied to events in MC rather than "when new editors and writers take charge somewhere down the road".

What reason other than wishfull thinking do you have to assume magneto has anything to do with mutant repowerment?

[jmc247]

What other reason besides wishful thinking do you have to assume this will apply to anything other then babies? I would say the notion it doesn't would be possible if there were a different set of editors in power at Marvel. TPTB at Marvel decimated the mutant race for a very clear reason.

I don't agree with their reason. But, one thing I do know is their minds haven't changed on that score the past three years. However, there will be a different set of people in charge likely in a few years and then the plotline of reimpowering thousands of adult mutants will then become possible.

I am willing to bet good money the writers are going to have Magneto sometime in the next decade try to undo what his daugher did. If she manages to undo it or not is a different question. From a character prospective I believe at least trying to undo M-day is more important to Magneto then it is even to Beast, because I am certain Magneto feels more responsable for M-day then any one.

[Pro]

TPTB at Marvel decimated the mutant race for a very clear reason.

And the reason was to make avengers marvel's flagship again, and to do so they couldn't do the superhuman registration plot with 16000000 mutants in the way. Civil War followed swiftly after decimation. Civil War couldn't have been written with avengers as the primary team to be featured if mutants had still numbered 16 million. How would the SHRA have turned out as anything other than a human-mutant war if 16 million were still around? It would have featured the x-men far too much to make it focussed on the avengers. hence the stupid bs civil war: x-men tie-in where despite wrecking millions of government property the 198 are allowed to roam freely, regardless of a fair number of them being criminals and killers.
the primary reason, other than culling their numbers some, is because Quesada doesn't like mutants getting in the way of avengers because avengers is suposed to be marvel's flagship team according to him and because avengers is marvel's new movie milkcow.

I don't know. Another clue is nobody's been naturally repowered except a baby, making it seem like Wanda's spell had a time limit on newly created genes but not genes she already affected. To think people will start repowering themselves back again (giving us several million again), well, like you said, Masque is not a reliable source.

[Pro]

Another clue is nobody's been naturally repowered except a baby, making it seem like Wanda's spell had a time limit on newly created genes but not genes she already affected.

I don't think that's the right conclusion. Forge's futurescope thingy showed no mutants at all in the future before the baby was born. If it was as simple as a timelimit on wanda's spell then his futurescope thing should have shown mutant-filled timelines regardless of wanda's interference because it would be part of future events. Something about this baby however made two timelines pop up with mutants in it. Why only two timelines if mutants will pop up again through the mere biological function of birth again? If this mutant baby is merely the first one of many there ought to be many timelines with mutants as well, yet there are only two. Reasonable asumption is the baby is something that wasn't part of future history, that goes against wanda's spell and has something to do with repowering mutants again and that there is a deciding moment in time soon that will decide the fate of the mutant race. Something about this specific mutant birth is a deciding factor in the mutant race expanding again.

[Magneto X]

I don't think that's the right conclusion. Forge's futurescope thingy showed no mutants at all in the future before the baby was born.

If his futurescope worked it would have shown the same future before the baby's birth as after.

[Pro]

If his futurescope worked it would have shown the same future before the baby's birth as after.

Obviously that's not how it works if you read the story.
Before baby: no mutants in any timeline.
After baby: mutants in two timelines.
Seriously, your counterargument is that Forge's futurescope didn't work the first time?
Whatever, i should've known better than to argue the point with singleminded obsessed magneto fans.

Magnus FTW !!!1122122#!!! He'll rescue the mutant race on his own, conceive the baby by going back in time, shaves charles head bald while he is at it and is back in time for breakfast with his family. Hurray!

I don't know if I want Magneto to be a savior or not. I'm just saying, if a futurescope changes depending on a future event, then it isn't really predicting the future. Think about it. Why would it change?

[Pro]

I don't know if I want Magneto to be a savior or not. I'm just saying, if a futurescope changes depending on a future event, then it isn't really predicting the future. Think about it. Why would it change?

Sorry, i'm very irritable today for some reason ..

The argument was made that Wanda's spell simply had a timelimit and that mutants would be born again naturally.

If that were true then mutants would not have been seen completely disappearing from future events. It would show a future where mutants were born despite wanda's spell, which it didn't. Baby comes along and something changes. Logical conclusion: the baby changes Wanda's spell somehow so that mutants are increasing in numbers again.
The fact it only shows two futures as opposed to infinite potential futures which was the case when mutants were born naturally (until wanda's changed it) only serves to strengthen the likelyhood that this baby acts as a catalyst rather than that it is simply the first baby born of many, that the baby's birth in fact results in two potential futures. If it was a case of mutants being born again naturally like before wanda shouldn't the futurescope show infinite potential futures again exactly like it did before wanda's spell?

[CyberHubbs]

Despite it not being very popular, I still liked No More Mutants. It was something of a twist, and made for some stories. The X-Men were threatened by an enemy they couldn't just hit with lightning, ice or optic blasts: Extinction.

That said, the journey toward recovering their numbers is part of the story. I'd settle for mutants being born again, or coming out of the woodworks, but not quite the same mutants as the X-Men and the sort. Mutants are doomed and obsolete, and there's some new kids to take over the block.

[Faded]

So I do think the reduction was a good idea because they were making way too many crappy copy characters. Now when they make mutants they should create a more unique character with different powers.

I agree.

I mean...for a couple of years a lot of characters I liked were dropping like draws, but it would've been better just to kill them off a la E is for Extinction than have M-Day not only incapacitate characters, but also blur the themes of the franchise into something more mystical and less grounded in nature.

I suspect the HoM won't get their X-gene back until the next set of editors at Marvel allows Magneto to go on a quest to undo M-Day leading to a somewhat increased mutant population. Certainly not to Morrison levels, but much higher then those today.

That would be fun.

[jmc247]

That would be fun.

I had to ask myself how will Marvel restore the X-gene of Wanda/Lorna/Magneto/Quicksilver. If the Collective didn't restore Magneto's X-gene, Lorna doesn't touch the M'Krann in EV #5, and they don't get their X-gene back from Massiah Complex then I think it opens the door to somekind of quest down the road for Magneto. He doesn't have much to fight for these days.

Agreed, 198 is a ridiculous number but i wouldn't have minded a culling of the numbers if it had been more in line with the franchise's overall theme. I'd have settled for a few hundred thousand instead of 16 million if written well but 198 is a ridiculous number if they want to remain at that level for the next decade of storytelling. I feel Decimation ruined the theme that defined the books for decades. The books are about a mutant race, not a handfull of individuals who happen to share a gene as basis for their power.

A few occasions the past few years we saw a chance for a mutant human war. Why didn't they go that route? It would have far better fitted the theme of the book, it was something that has been build toward since issue #1 and it would have done the job of culling their numbers and returning the x-men into a position of being a minority fighting to protect a world that fears and hates them as they find themselves in the middle of a war between mutants and humans. For me E for Extinction had far more of an impact than Wanda snapping her fingers.

[sinjection]

Reverse Wanda's spell already. It's stupid and removes from the mix, too many interesting black mutants.

And what? The spell was supposed to have reduced the world's mutant population to 198 individuals? Didn't that predator x thing just EAT a mutant?

Mutants are expected to die in upcoming stories? These x-writers are writing themselves right out of a job. And people have the nerve to suggest Hudlin is incompetent.

____sinjection, a.k.a. Synch X

[Magneto X]

True, at least a few have died (that unknown kid from the funeral, Mr. M, that campfire guy) bringing 198 to closer to 190, but a few new or repowered superpeople have appeared in the at the same time (Layla, Xavier, Polaris, Quicksilver, Rictor (briefly), Chamber?, Collective, Luna). If they wanted to stay at 198 they could just have Apocalypse, the Inhuman mists, the High Evolutionary, or some other explanation to repower enough people to keep 198 or so.

But I think the number is too low. There are some seven billion people on the planet. There should at least still be, IMO, a minimum of ten mutants in every small nation and dozens in each large nation.

198 should have been 1998 or at least 998.



I also have to agree with Sinjection that it was shameful, with the opportunity that Decimation provided to finally diversify the x books, the way they killed and/or depowered numerous so mutants of color that they had just recently created.

Having half the known mutants either working for Xavier or Sinister is silly.

Well the 198 has been stated recently as an iconic # more than an actual #. It's varied since M-Day to the actual # to a symbolic #...I think currently Marvel's stance is it's a symbolic #.

Also I'm not even sure Layla is a mutant.

I chose "Wanda's spell reversed".. but Idon't want it completly gone with. Have some regain their powers, and then have the potential for the X-gene introduced again, with more and more people having it activated as time goes on
