Magnus Family Appreciation II

[jmc247]

The storyline, psychologically for Wanda, was handled quite realistically- the guilt and remorse is evident even if she knows it wasn't entirely herself and it explains her actions since. Perhaps I'm not as judgmental as Scott- but whether you like it or not- Wanda will forever live with that guilt and that's the price she's payed for being selfish initially and I agree that's her punishment. She'll never be able to forgive herself I think for all the deaths, trauma and terror that happened as a result of decimation. She may be back- but I actually think things will never be the same for her unfortunately.

So she feels bad about it forever, what consolation is that for her victims or their famililes? She killed untold amount of people world wide, several children on panel. Maybe it wasn't her intention, but everyone that hits someone with a car and kills them doesn't intend to do either but there's still consequences. It's not even that she's not facing any legal ramfications, it's that it's not even public knowledge so the loved ones of the dead don't even get an explanation for why there family members were struck down. I didn't like the direction that they took Wanda in but at least if they followed it through, like they did with the Dark Phoenix it would be worthwhile storyline.

What exactly should be the proper punishement for someone altering all of reality?

I find it interesting that Dark Seduction has never been rereleased in trade. Its got the Avengers, some X-Men, the entire Magnus family all fighting it out. I would have thought they would have done so by now.

Me neither actually.

Manslaughter for the deaths of Jeffrey Garret, Hydro, the Scarlet Knights(4 children, 2 parents) and their children and Antonio and I'm sure a score of others.

AvX #6 preview pages.

Awesome! Looks like Xavier and Magneto are rekindling their bromance! Did you take this? :)

[jmc247]

No, its on CBR as part of their AvX pannel article. They don't say much about Magneto only that Xavier will be in it.

In other news the solicits for X-Factor 243 in September show that PAD will be dealing with Lorna's backstory.

i have a bad feeling about this. given what has transpired, Magneto is bound to be on the recieving end of a bunch of "i told you so's" this issue. i already want to smack Xavier.

Well tomorrow is Father's Day and the scifi and fantasy sites online are discussing famous fathers.

Magneto/Scarlet Witch, Quicksilver and Polaris: Thrice the sire, never the father! Wow, talk about daddy issues! When all of your children start out abandoned, turn to a life of crime and eventually all turn against you — you know you did something wrong! Even now, as an X-Man, his children fight on the side of his enemies. Manipulating your children to get what you want, will only give you manipulative children!

The Magnus family made the cover to Newsarama's list

4. Magneto

We suppose that Magneto can't be blamed for not knowing that he fathered kids (THREE TIMES!) until much later. We suppose that he can't be blamed for many of the negative forces that shaped his life. We believe that he can be blamed for repeatedly trying to use his children to further his own agendas.

Magneto is an unrepentant user, and that trait doesn't generally carry over well to positive parenting.

One of his children manipulated his twin sister into altering all of existence, resulting in the loss of mutant powers (and life) of about 99% of the mutants in the world. And that's just one example.

Then again, Magneto never had much contact with any of his kids until they were in their teens or older, so how much parenting has he really ever done?

The one time Magneto got to be a real father with his first daughter it was off pannel and she died so she rarely gets mentioned.

Scarlet Witch confirmed for Marvel Heroes

Born to a mutant father, imbued with sorcerous potential by a demon trapped in Wundagore Mountain, and raised by her adoptive [Romani] parents, Wanda Maximoff’s life was full of intrigue long before she became aware of her powers.

The Scarlet Witch began her career fighting the X-Men as a member of her father Magneto’s Brotherhood of Evil Mutants.

But she became disillusioned with villainy, instead joining the Avengers after several of that team’s founding members left.

As both a mutant and a sorceress, Wanda’s reality-altering powers and devastating hex bolts make her a formidable opponent.

Thanks for that.

The first video clip had her as well as Magneto in the trailer for the game. I give the game a good shot of having Pietro as well. As for Lorna she is a wild card as she has never been playable in a game nor had a decient NPC role in a game.

That trailer is nuts. Too bad Marvel refuses to makes an X-Men MMO. Lorna would definitely show if that were the case.

If X-Men Legends 2 is any indication they would still want to have Wanda in there over Lorna... so I think they would need a really big roster to include her. They haven't figured out (along with some at Marvel) that it isn't an either or proposition with having Lorna and Wanda in the game. Its not an either or proposition with having Magneto and Lorna in the game either. There is nothing wrong with having two characters with similar powers, but use them differently.

Happy Father's Day Mags

Super excited for Wanda in the MMO! I'm so glad she's given these opportunities so quickly after Children's Crusade. I mean, if this game was released in 2010 the developers probably wouldn't even touch the character.

Yeah, I mean with how many super strong characters they put in each game it should be simple for then to have two magnetic-powered people.

The big selling point of the Marvel MMO is it will have so many characters, and its written by Bendis so its possible Lorna gets in. But, for some reason Polaris has always been a very difficult sell to game makers.
