Pay the Tithe: Candra Appreciation

[Valeria Kementari]

The recent thread regarding what villains should come back made me remember about this great, underused character. We've seen so little of this ageless immortal it's a deep shame. So I decided to start an appreciation thread to show the world how much we believe this is a great character that deserves to make a comeback!!

Pay the Tithe!!

Candra has ties to Storm, Gambit and Rogue, she posesses a wide variety of mental powers, some of which have yet to be revealed, and knack for playing with the love lives of other people. It has not been revealed why Candra seems to have an obsession with Apocalypse, since she has been seeing searching for clues regarding the blue-lipped wonder.

She has not been seen since X-Men #61, where the great Goddess-turned-X-man destroyed the cristal which held the essence of her heart. However it was clearly expressed that in order to kill an immortal the essence of the heart had to be absorbed through a blade, not dispersed as it was, so there's the loophole to bring her back.

Let us show our appreciation of this great character on this thread of threads :D

Also, wouldn't it be cool to have a special icon for appreciation threads?

Not every character deserves an appreciation thread.

Well I happen to like her a lot and I appreciate, sorry you feel that way

[worstblogever]

She is the "Betty" to Selene's "Veronica", fighting through time to find out who will earn the love of some ginger shmuck who can't make a decision. Along the way, both manipulate and kill people. It's all good fun.

You can always help it pass away by not posting in it.

I've always expected to see her within the ranks of the Hellfire club, wouldn't she just fit perfectly?

No, they had a Black Queen and a White Queen. Let her stay in her swamp collecting gems from Gambi's relatives.

But with a twist. Candra hides her life force in gems, right? Well, why shouldn't she do the obvious, and get inside a girl made of gems, who likes other girls inside of her?



They're perfect for each other.

Candra could easily be the new White Queen, those crappy Hellfire Club Inner Circle members that appeared on Original Sin are nothing to compared to her greatness.

She could join the HFC. She already looks like a stripper. It looks like Gambit's mentally undressing what little there's left to undress off her. >___>

If I remember correctly, wasn't Candra one of Apocalypse's Horsemen in AOA (I mean before Mikhail and Genesis)? Not that it has relevance to post-AOA, but I thought she was with Sabretooth for the invasion of Wundagore.

[Valeria Kementari]

yep, she was one of the original Horsemen in X-Men Chronicles #1

[Valeria Kementari]

Will she return from the grave in Necrosha??? A powerful eternal mutant like her should totally be revived!

[FeminineMystique]

I wish I could take this seriously, but I just keep hearing the Animated series Gambit yelling "Why chu do tis ta me Bobby?! Yu made me'a teef!" in that...interesting accent of his and I crack up

A Candra Appreciation Thread? Now you people are just making sh!t up.

Never liked Candra, she always seemed like a sloppy stand in for Selene imo, but retroactively tied to Storm and Gambit. To be honest, I didn't like any of the 90s Xternals... I'm glad just Selene, Poccy and Sam are left.
