Cecilia Reyes Appreciation

[.A²]

What was great about her was that her status as a woman of color and her Latino descent never mattered so much as the balance she had to strike between motivated career woman with real-world skills and mutant with a potentially amazing power. It's especially nice to see someone with real-world skills outside superheroing...how many people on the X-Men can actually say that?

Yeah. Cecilia's plight was always unfair. She had to struggle for what she wanted, and despite the odds, she earned it through sheer determination alone. She deserves huge respect for that. On top of that she rejected Charles. She didn't need him. She had her whole life planned out and it was ripped away from under her. Uncanny X-Men #351 is a truly tragic character piece. We follow her grappling with the urge to reconcile her ambition with her mutant "outing". We see her succeed in doing so, working both to her advantage, becoming something truly great, potentially something unique (an undercover healer to superheroes), and then she's fired for doing the decent thing, as a doctor, and making Pyro comfortable, only for him to escape and her receive the blame.

We finally got what I've been waiting for! Cecilia and Beast flirtation through the medium of Iceman mockery. Thank you Miss Liu for your ongoing dedication to the good Doctor! Long may it continue.



And of course, Cece breaks out her classic black dress and necklace combo for the wedding.

Eww. She needs to move on from Beast.

Her and Beast are perfect for each other!

[.A²]

She has! She has Gambit right in the palm of her hands. She's just tempting Hank away from that gross green alien with the sexual prowess of her intellect. Shoulda put a ring on it McCoy.

I'm slightly inclined to agree but I still believe she could do better.
Now that she is back I wonder if we will ever see Colonel Reyes again.

Miguel doesn't deserve her company. He let her to rot in a concentration camp.

[Psycwave]

I just want her to stab him with one of her force field spikes.

Cece only kills for drugs.

[.A²]

I'm excited.

[Sanji]

Beast is gross. Cece x Gambit is the way to go.

[.A²]

Oh I don't care who she sleeps with, I'm just a fan of their (flirtatious) friendship.

It makes me happy to see Beast and Cecilia engage in tag-team trolling. It's what they do best.

Hell, I'm just glad to have her back regularly.

Agreed! From the preview to the next issue of AXM:



Bobby Drake, ruining Cecilia's fun since 1997. I wouldn't want it any other way, lol.

I really love Cecilia but she doesn't seem to have much of a role in Astonishing so far, and all the things I've heard about that book have made me hesitant on picking it up.
