She knows stuff............this is the place to talk about Layla, your favorite moments, your thoughts on the character, how and when you think she will or should return. Let's talk about the future Mrs. Madrox , how much it sucks that she's not in a monthly right now, and how cool it'll be when she is again

" Which word was unclear? 'Know?' 'Stuff?' Or are you shaky on personal pronouns? "

I hope we DO see her in 2009.

Hmm this thread looks like a good spot to ask this question without having to open an entire thread.

Okay if this is offtopic please tell me.

Did anyone else wondered why Layla revealed the truth about M-Day to Callisto and Marrow?

I mean that's a pretty big bit of information there, one that only SHIELD, the X-men and the Avengers knew about, also she revealed it to those two only, but not to the rest of X-Cell.

Okay i think the question is a bit difficult since it could be an abadoned idea, or maybe she even tried to protect Quicksilver with it.

Think about it, after the reveal Sarah and Callisto attacked him, however they did so before his repowering on the other members went bonkers.
Now what would have happend if the two saw how the rest of X-cell explode? They might have killed Pietro for it, right?
But while the M-day reveal was not enough to make them kill him, it was enough to drive Quicksilver into attacking Layla, which in turn made Callisto and Marrow defend her.
The result was that they didn't used leathal force on Pietro and Marrow got wounded which forced them into retreat. This way they couldn't notice how the repowering went wrong.

You gotta love Layla. She's like Wesnesday Addams, only blonde, with the power to see the future, and constantly followed by butterflies.

Speaking of which, why does no one ever use her Butterfly codename? Rictor went through all the trouble of giving it to her.

You sure that is her power? I was re-reading old numbers of X-factor, and the supposed false Layla Miller, the one Jaime was hallucinating with... she knew about the baby. Or so it seems.

When Madrox tells Theresa that he knows she is pregnated, False Miller appears on the background, saying "yes you know stuff, but not the right stuff"... or something alike. a Sinister note...

Right around the same time, Pietro of all people would also talk with her while in prision, right before re-powering...

So. Was that an hallucination (two) or do you think Layla can somehow stablish communication with people in the past? Or some other weird power?

Layla definitely has some other power we dont know about yet. When Jamie was hallucinating and seeing Layla in the "Middle East Side is Burning" arc, she was saying to him "one of us... one of us". And in the Layla Miller oneshot, she was standing still for 10 days, and in her sleep she was muttering "one of us... one of us". There hasta be a connection.

Yesssss... I have not read the one shot yet (It should arrive to Spain next month)

Maybe she can travel back and forth with her mind? Knowing PAD, it will be something even weirder...

Oh, I definitely think she has powers other than seeing the future. Neither of us even mentioned the wacky truth-seeing power she tossed on everyone during House of M.

Emma Frost helped with that though
Layla Miller saw things, so didn't Emma Use her telepathy to get what Layla saw into the other hero's heads?
Just a guess/ assumption though...

Yeah, that is one of the best things about it though. It would be so cool to have Layla back by summer, I'm not sure how I feel about her being grown up though, I mean I always assumed that's where PAD was going with the character I just assumed we would have a little more time with young Layla

rojash

Hair looks blonde to me, but it's not unreasonable to assume that Layla could dye her hair.

Well, technically Sean wasn't Madrox's baby, so... I don't know. I have a point that it doesn't seem like a stretch to me, especially if that issue features a time jump.

But that is also why I would never be a good writer, I am unable to be that mean with my characters. But, a good story has to have some mean parts...

So I dunno. Right now, I prefer to bet for the happy ending and ignore all the bad omens...

Big stuff happening in X Factor 40 I hear, I haven't read it yet and have been avoiding spoilers but judging from future solicits I'm really thinking Layla may be back

( If so with both her and Wanda being back that only leaves Kitty to return for the hat trick )

Futuristic Sentinel scans show her being at least a "part-time" mutant, rather than "full-time". The "M" tattoo, and all that, going with it.

My personal feeling is yes.

Is there anything special about the M tattoo? Maybe it does not stay there if the person is not a mutant?

Everything Layla does is for a reason.

She often withholds information about the future from Madrox to protect him and the future itself. That's her power and responsibility.

I assume she shared that imformation with Cal and Marrow for the same reason, to protect, mold and shape the future.

I think she has a power similar to Dr. Manhattan's, except instead of seeing at all places along her timeline she can actually be at all places (just like Tryp)

I don't know what everyone thinks!

Yep that's what i thought too.
I even wondered if she revealed it to these two in order to make Quicksilver survive the whole X-cell disaster.

Think about it, if Layla wouldn't have revealed the truth and the two would have witnessed what happend to the other members, especialy after Callisto was already not convinced that it would work well, they would have downright killed Quicksilver. We already saw that Quicksilver in a one on one even with his time dubes had no chance against Marrow.

But with Laylas reveal they attacked Pietro before the "exploding sideeffects" kicked in and with non leathal force.
Layla even disctracted Marrow at one point which allowed Quicksilver to defeat her.
So Callisto and Sarah were forced to retreat, which allowed Quicksilver to survive which he wouldn't have without Layla.

It's complicated but it makes kind of sense doesn't it?

Remember Layla often doesn't know why she knows and does stuff.
She didn't even knew why she would have to run towards the dupe when the time warp started, she only knew that she had to do it, but not why.
Which fits her selfdiscreption of being a chess figure (first a pawn now a queen).
