How do you think House of M will affect Alpha Flight....

[cmdrkoenig67]

Feh...Don't worry about 'Squatch, Spy(BTW...welcome to Alpha Waves!)...I don't believe even Joke Quesada is THAT dim to think that Walter is a mutant...but then again...you never know.

My collection is incomplete. Has Aurora been restored to her full mutanthood? When Walter changed her physiology in AFV1# 17, I thought it made her safe from mutant-detection. I always thought she had become a quasi-mutant, if there is such a thing.

[cmdrkoenig67]

I'm not 100% sure Garry, but I think that undetectability has since worn off(and her powers have altered several times since then), she was found and kidnapped by the Weapon X program and they mutated her further, giving her the ability to speed up other's metabolisms.....or something like that(It was never very clear what her new abilities actually did).

Koenig; Thank you for the welcome!

It's not so much Quesada I'm worried about but rather writers and minor editors who flub all the time as well as some fans.

[Adam]

I think there's been a lot of "sky is falling" talk about this, so I'll wait and see what happens before I comment. Even the number of mutants left over is suspect at this point so it's not worth getting worked up about.

I think it could open up some stories though. For example, while Quicksilver's losing his powers they're making a mini-series out of it. It's not just "let's sweep him under the rug to get rid of him." When's the last time Quicksilver, powered or no, has been this high profile?

I really think this will depend on how the writers handle it, and I doubt they're going to spell out all the remaining mutants to the readers right away anyways. That list is likely internal to Marvel and will be revealed slowly as story allows.

Also, since they're just being depowered and not killed the door's never closed. Think about it... "the depowered and distraught Madison Jefferies makes a deal with Somon the Artificer to regain his abilities, but at what cost!" Etc etc etc.

I wouldn't be worried about fans, Spy...they really have very little say in what happens to characters.

Hmmmmm....There are quite a few mutants left off those lists(Banshee, Sabra, Topaz, etc...)...

So Blob, Iceman, Magneto, Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver lose their powers(characters who've been around for about 40 years), but Mammomax(who's name sounds like it means "big breasts"), Tito Bohusk(whoever the heck that is???) and possible Squirrel Girl get to keep theirs? Quesada(and Claremont) is such a....I'm not going to say it. I'm going to be nice and say nothing.

Dana

P.S. It's odd that Wanda de-powered all of the surviving original Brotherhood of Evil Mutants members, but not Toad. I wonder why she left him powered?

[Ben]

well the whole thing was left very open ended really. I would be supprized to see this all last more than a year. They'll get a few decent "learning to live without thier powers" stories, and it will all be restored is my guess.

I totally agree with that.

[HappyCanuck]

Wait, wait, wait: help me on this one.... how is it that Angel is in the depowered list, yet Archangel (who's been going by Angel again recently - last I heard anyhow) is still powered. Unless there's another Angel that I'm not thinking of, that would be conflicting story...

Also, the only 'Erg' from this list that I know is the old Morlock, but he's dead! been dead since the 'Fall of the Mutants' storyline waaaaaay back in the mid 80's.


I'm confused (more than usual)...

[Mokole]

Angel is Angel Salvadore or something like that, Beak's girlfriend.

So what about Windshear, Box, Feedback, Diamond Lil. etc?

Oh right, the fairy-winged one from Morrison's run (God, I dispised his run. given the option of him or Austin, I'll take Austin)

So what about Windshear, Box, Feedback, Diamond Lil. etc?

Box and Diamond Lil MIGHT survive, since they are still being use, but it's iffy. Feedback and Windshear haven't been around in, great Jiminy, about a decade, so I don't think too many ppl would be sorely missing them (unless, naturally, they are on this board). At the moment, I'd think Feedback would have more recognition than those two, and he's had a nearly twenty year hiatus between appearances!

Windshear appeared(although he was retired from Super-heroing) in Thunderbolts pretty recently, didn't he?
