[make-dragonspyre-great-again]

for the ask game! ive been asking everyone so far about quartermane sooo how about him?

and idk if youve been asked about dyvim yet but if not ɛ:

/whifflingwizard

quartermane is an interesting one... i dont really think about him because tbh i kinda had to skip past all his dialogue when i was on my death bc my buddy wanted to speedquest im so sorry quartermane fans...my storm is getting close to lemuria so this time i'll make sure to sit back and listen a bit more though! even then im not safe because his "TO ADVENTURE" still haunts me in my sleep.

in all honesty i actually have NO clue exactly how my wizards would interact with dyvim because uh tbh khrysalis is a bit or a blur to me in all cases so i dont really remember much nor have many thoughts abt the NPCs (which i'll have to fix soon for Cethin's lore) but lets just say they all think he's cool and like him very much as a basis and ill figure it out another day

Stallion Quartermane

Alicia DragonHeart - neutral

Finds him irritating.

She was among the votes to leave Quartermane entombed in his block of ice within Madness Mountain, but did lose the debate to Morgan & Destiny and thus convinced to thaw him out of it.

Went home with a migraine after having Pork and Quartermane in the same room for an extended period of time during the events of Selenopolis. Khonsu gets to feel her migraine-enthused wrath personally by the end of the night.

Destiny NightStalker - positive

Similar to how he taught Ozzy what "Skibidi Toilet" and "Sigma Rizz" means, he's trying to teach Quartermane modern earth slang and sayings for no other reason than "it's really funny when he says it." and "it irritates Alicia."

Holy yap. Pork, Quartermane and Morgan can talk for hours and not run out of any subjects. (Four-way unmedicated AuDHD)

He's very interested in what worlds Quartermane has discovered, mostly in order for him to gain information about certain life and reagents out there he can use for Projects.

Rika TempestSurge - positive

She loves Quartermane's energy, as she is rather loud herself. Calls Alicia a bit of a hypocrite for disliking Quartermane for his noise despite being almost as equally loud as him and Rika in situations.

Gets in to in depth conversations with Quartermane about Celestia, whereas she won't share a word with the actual Spiral Geographic Society because she doesn't like how they invaded her world and caused Problems.

Sierra LifeBloom - positive

After Alicia, Morgan and Destiny save Pork and Quartermane, she swaps out her position with Alicia by her request and thus goes to help Ivan and Dyvim instead with Rika. She didn't believe that "the four of them can talk that much" - she does now.

She is rather soft-spoken, so conversations between her and Quartermane typically result in him interrupting her accidentally before apologising and telling her to continue with what she was saying. "Apologies, my friend! What was it you were saying?"

Kestrel SunPyre - neutral

Growing up Marleybonian, she heard all about the great Stallion Quartermane and how he helped start the Geographic Society and discover distant worlds. She is tired of hearing about Marleybonians, especially since she was forced to grow up with proper manners like the dog instead of the "rowdy, stinky nature of those street cats".

She is aware his legacy isn't entirely his fault and instead how the Marleybonians pick a person and idolise them as a pinnacle of evolving their society, but it doesnt change the fact she's had to hear about him so much. It doesn't upset her when Morgan talks about him however, its just when the dogs do it.

Holly GrimTundra - negative

As someone who prefers quiet, the amount of noise that Quartermane makes greatly upsets her. He's loud and obnoxious, which is something that Holly doesn't like.

They at least somewhat appreciate his enthusiasm and dedication to research and discovery however,

She voted to keep Quartermane in the block of ice because she "didn't like his vibes", promptly being the only one to pay attention to what the Old One was saying on the console while the rest argued.

Morgan LegendHunter - POSITIVE

As the resident lorekeeper and history nerd, they lost their absolute minds upon seeing Quartermane and realising that he was still alive after his mysterious disappearance.

Was the first one to mention thawing him out, starting the whole argument as they tried to convince the others it'd be best to thaw him out.

Thrilled to see him again in Selenopolis, catching up with him about if he's found any new worlds and whatnot and how the rest of the Heroes of Lemuria are going.

[baradorable]

This is stupid, has no basis in canon, doesn't really add anything new or unique, and doesn't make much sense. It's not even a theory. I just have a dumb headcanon I'd love to see happen.

Ever notice how Quentin Quire basically stole Julian's role? Sure you did. Everyone ragged on Quire for it. Suddenly we had two powerful psychic/telekinetic teen mutants with mutant-superiority leanings and an attitude towards the X-Men. But what if this was intentional?

Despite being different, they were cut from the same cloth. But what if this was intentional? What if, in the game of Nature vs Nurture, Nature was winning?

What if Quentin Quire was actually Julian's brother, and a third Keller child?

Like he's either Julian's twin, or a brother that's slightly older than him. Either way, the Kellers gave him up. Possibly because they were not financially stable enough at the time to raise three children and run a small business. Possibly because they knew he was a mutant somehow, and Mr. Keller didn't want to deal with that.

Maybe the Kingmaker knew how powerful he'd grow up to be. Possibly via clairvoyant contact, or through whatever demonic powers he already has. While the Kellers only got rich from the Kingmaker when Julian was already over a decade old, it's possible they were working for him much earlier, and part of their deal with him was to offer up one of their kids. And look, Julian's birth came with a pre-order bonus.

Or maybe the Kingmaker isn't involved at all. At any rate, Quentin would have been given up by his biological parents, and adopted into the Quire family.

Look, Cyclops can have three brothers, Black Womb, two different Nates, Rachel, a clone wife, a clone of his son, and a ton of others things. That's not including how the family tree kinda-sorta brings the Fantastic Four into this. With all that in mind, I think Julian can afford to have ONE secret sibling.

Note that it's pretty common for family members to have very similar powers to one another: Cable and Rachel are psychics like their mother, Banshee and Siryn have similar abilities, the Summers clan have energy-based gifts. You could easily make a case for Shard and Bishop. Sunfire and Sunpyre? Daken and Laura? Not all family members have matching powers, but it's not an uncommon occurrence.

So them having similar powers could be used to justify a connection. Their similar personality traits and arcs could easily be explained as a familial quirk. Quire was adopted and we don't know much, if anything about his biological family. And the Kellers could have various reasons for giving up one of their children. In fact, it would make a lot of sense for them to give up a child in secret, so as to protect their image. So hiding his existence would track very well.

Also, they both get on Cyclops' nerves

But I'm more interested in what it would mean for the "brothers." Instead of having Quire step over Hellion's gimmicks, the two would be two sides of the same coin. Their stories would parallel each other.

I think it'd add a unique spin on Hellion's view of the X-Men, too. He didn't start a riot, get any of his fellow students killed, his riots were arguably smaller and less impactful than the Riot at Xavier's. And yet, while Julian was punished for his bad behavior and treated as a monster, people were giving chances to Quentin and repeatedly giving him opportunities.

Quentin was also seemingly blessed by the universe: Quire got to be the Phoenix, and what did Julian get? His hands blown off. Julian's already shown some resentment for this.

Yeah, Quire lost his biological family. But you know what? So was Julian, after a while. And we know that Julian's home life wasn't that great to begin with, because his parents were shown to be neglectful, he was compared negatively to his more successful brother James, and his dad was trying to make him hide away his mutation to fit in with human norms.

So Quentin fucking Quire being his own flesh and blood would be a huge kick in the dick. On top of the preferential treatment Quire got from the X-Men and the universe, nature itself saw to it that they came from the same source, and Quire still won out.

Meanwhile, Quire would have a mirror to his own behavior. He'd see someone who didn't get the same opportunities to grow like he got. Without the support he was given, without the power he had, he could have easily slipped back into extremism and villainy. He could have been the Krakoan instead of Julian, if things were just a little different.

He'd probably look down on Julian for breaking bad, while Quire (mostly) stayed on the straight and narrow since he was resurrected. But you could easily point out how it took Julian years of abuse to finally turn into a villain, while Quire broke shortly after he was introduced. Either way, they both had that potential to give into their worst instincts. Quire would probably get on his high horse and use this as an example that he (Quire) is the superior sibling, but even he should be able to recognize that their circumstances are very different.

And now that they're both active in books at the same time, we have the perfect opportunity for them to confront each other. Julian, who already resents his brother for getting everything he ever wanted, sees that he was chosen by the X-Men yet again, while simultaneously abandoning the X-Men's ways to carve his own path.

For those who hate Quire, this could be a great way to flesh out his story. I always felt like he got off too easily for some of the stuff he'd done, and it didn't help that a lot of stories made him a comic relief character to make him less threatening. But imagine him being one of the few people to recognize how the X-Men failed Julian, and feeling guilty that he was "redeemed" while Julian wasn't. Maybe his own family issues and a desire for connection could motivate him to help Hellion.

Suddenly, Quentin Quire isn't just a guy who steps on Julian's toes and "steals" his gimmicks. He's a mirror. The two bring the best and worst out of each other. They could be the missing family that each of them craves, and they could be bitter enemies.

And if that doesn't interest you? Imagine the banter. Just two snarky, rude fucks duking it out every time they share a panel.

incomplete list of niche characters i restrained myself from submitting to the niche comic character tournament

Ryoko Sabuki/Radiance: 7 appearances. Granddaughter of Gwen Lou Sabuki, whom I did submit. Biggest sensation since Dazzler, which would mean more if Marvel remembered Ryoko existed. Light generation and manipulation, just like her grandma.

Ameiko Sabuki/Goldfire: 9 appearances. The dead sister of Ryoko. I don't think she ever even showed her face in her non-powered form.

Leyu Yoshida/Sunpyre: 9 appearances. The dead little sister of Shiro Yoshida/Sunfire.

Marnie/The Rumor: 9 appearances. Spider-Man side character. Badass old lady. Figured out Peter Parker = Spiderman in like two issues.

Takeshi Matsuya/Wiz Kid: 29 appearances. He's literally so funny to me. I think he should be allowed to say fuck.

Nuwa: 2 appearances, once in an X-Force annual and once in a Tabitha Smith oneshot story. Her personality shifts wildly between those two and they never elaborate on why.

Tamara Kurtz/Dragoness: 28 appearances. Evil and loving it. Has wings, but they're technological, not part of her mutation.

Rina Patel/Timeslip: 19 appearances. No hate to whoever submitted Robbie, but she is definitely the more niche New Warrior.

Georgia Dakei/DK: 13 appearances. I like it when teenagers sass tf out of adult characters I think it is so fucking funny.

Sybil Dvorak/Skein: 44 appearances. her original villain name was a slur and i am SO glad they changed it. canon sensory issues queen. Also evil and loving it. Canonically bisexual (for evil).

Larry Bodine: 1 appearance. This is the guy from New Mutants vol. 1 who killed himself after his classmates joked about outing him. Yes this is the issue of NM with Kitty's infamous slur speech.

Rebecca Littlehale/Lighttrakker: 3 appearances. Kid from Power Pack who could teleport to light sources she could see.

Helen Takahama/Jolt: 74 appearances, which makes her the least niche character here. I need to reread Thunderbolts. In MC2 (Mayday Parker's universe), she was an Avenger.

Charlie Burlingame/Charcoal: 41 appearances. Created by a reader via a Wizard magazine contest. Legal problems means that he was never brought back when he was killed off.

[bigskydreaming]

Yessss, it only took two years plus the eighty four million more it felt like in my head but we're FINALLY getting to the Shiro rescuing Redroot from the Crooked Market/Otherworld story!

I do dislike that after all it was hyped up it was relegated to a six issue X-Men Unlimited side story BUT the flip side of that is its at least being written by Steve Orlando & Steve Foxe instead of Duggan, who I'm pretty sure was originally slated to write it. I'd MUCH rather have Orlando & Foxe writing it than Duggan, who completely wasted Shiro when he was on his year one lineup. We might get some actual characterization now, lol.

Plus I'm excited to see what Orlando & Foxe do with the opportunity to explore/worldbuild Otherworld a bit more. Next week's issue has Shiro in Blightspoke, which is by far the most interesting of the Otherworld provinces IMO. Very interested to see what they do with that. Also hoping that Shiro's journey takes him to Infernii the Everforge. If any mutant were to have an advantage there, it'd be Sunfire.

And I definitely prefer their take on Mad Jim Jaspers over Howard's. The way Howard wrote him, he was this kinda.....generic loudmouth, more bark than bite. They write him as the creepy, enigmatic reality warper who can do damn near anything and WILL do it just to fuck with you and I vastly prefer that take on him. THIS is the insidious ruler of the Crooked Market that nobody wants to fuck with. Even Jamie Braddock and Absolom Mercator are supposed to be wary of Mad Jim and this guy actually FEELS like he has that energy, rather than just paying lip service to it.

Also, I'm hoping that Foxe and Orlando, the 90s Deep Cut Kings, find some place to slip in a reference to Shiro's murdered-by-Mystique sister Sunpyre, because then we might FINALLY get Leyu resurrected once other writers remember she exists. It bugs me so much that she never even got namedropped Shiro's entire time on the Year One team, even when he was teammates with the literal daughter of his sister's murderer. Like.....Shiro is an abrasive asshole. He absolutely WOULD mention that the first time Rogue annoyed him, just for the reaction. The fact that Rogue had nothing to do with that and is in no way responsible for her mother's actions would be utterly irrelevant. He'd be like "I am uncomfortable and want others to be as well. What's confusing here."

(But seriously, the lack of respect for Leyu, one of the first canonically lesbian characters in the X-Franchise, like.....gah. Its so frustrating to me that barely anyone ever remembers she exists, when she was on the page gay before even Mystique herself. Bring her baaaaaack).

Anyway, still wish this story had its own arc in one of the main books, but to be honest I don't know where it'd go, so short of it getting its own miniseries, I suppose this is the best place for it.

-Afilliations: Big Hero 6

[bringbackwendellvaughn]

The short-lived X-Men team led by Jean Grey from Scott Lobdell’s “Eve of Destruction”.

Notable for being the first time Northstar and Frenzy were members of the X-Men. It also introduced 3 new characters; Wraith, Omerta and Sunpyre or as they’re more formally known “de-powered off-panel during M-Day”, “killed off-panel in a concentration camp” and “appeared one more time and had her throat slit by Mystique”.

For what it’s worth, Cyclops, Wolverine, Polaris, Dazzler and Xavier are also all prominently in the story but they’re obviously not part of the “All-New All-Different” line-up that Jean leads.

I honestly quite like the story and even the new characters I think could’ve easily slipped in elsewhere. Wraith would feel at home in the background of Grant Morrison’s New X-Men run, there have been two subsequent female Sunfires which says enough that Sunpyre probably shouldn’t have been killed off so quick and Omerta is a jerk (and a homophobe and a sleazebag) and characters like that can be valuable to have other characters play off.

I was reading about Sunfyre in AWOIAF and I found out that GRRM took inspiration from X-Men mutant named Sunfire for creation of Sunfyre. Thoughts?

according to wikipedia

Sunfire is a mutant and former member of the X-Men. Sunfire is a Japanese mutant who can generate superheated plasma and fly. Not suited for teamwork due to his temperament and arrogance, Sunfire was briefly a member of the X-Men and has kept limited ties to the team since.

this matches sunfyre.

The two ran into Lady Deathstrike who, in a heated battle, cut off Sunfire's legs, leaving him in critical condition.

in the books, sunfyre lost one wing and the other wing became injured.

Shiro Yoshida (Sunfire) is the brother of Leyu Yoshida, alias the superheroine Sunpyre, who shares his flame-based powers.

i guess grrm was influenced by this character a lot, he even has a sister with similar powers, just like aegon ii (rhaenyra has a dragon too).

[bigskydreaming]

Marvel peeps, I’m doing a compilation post of all LGBTQ+ mutants in the X-books, who they are and where to currently read about them.....let me know if I’m missing any? I THINK I have everyone here, but just checking....

Iceman Northstar Destiny Mystique Rictor Shatterstar Karma Galura Prodigy Akihiro Anole Somnus Bouncer Tempo Mercury Loa Solem Betsy Braddock Graymalkin Jessie Drake Escapade Darkveil Christian Frost Bling Negasonic Teenage Warhead Mulholland Black Pyro II (Simon Lasker) Carmen Cruz aka Gimmick Benjamin Deeds Hindsight Cam Long Aura Charles Brutha Nature Leonara Eng Monica Sellers Liana Pity Girl Good Arson Faceshopper Morgan Red Amphelion Sunpyre Fantomex Jumbo Carnation Shinobi Shaw Stacy X Skein Courier

I’m including Kyle Jinadu, Romeo, Tommy Shepherd and Billy Kaplan separately as possible mutants (in the case of Tommy and Billy) and/or significant others of mutant LGBTQ+ characters.

And then Wolverine, Colossus, Jubilee and Longshot are canonically LGBTQ+ in other non-616 universes.

And then lastly, there’s the heavily subtexted or ‘Word of God’ LGBTQ+ characters…Storm, Rachel Grey, Magik, Black Tom, Juggernaut, Sunspot, Chance, Kate Pryde, Callisto, Cyclops, Logan and Pyro (St. John Allerdyce).

I’m trying to figure out how to handle this group, because like, we know damn well what they keep implying with the subtext with Scott, Jean and Logan, but like, I don’t want to give that the same weight as the way the other listed characters all have explicitly referenced their identities or relationships on the page, y’know? Same thing with Storm and Yukio, who I will literally fight anyone who tries to pretend that they weren’t a couple BUT at the same time, like….I have gripes with the praise Claremont gets for his handling of certain characters’ probable bisexuality (for the clout), similar to how I have the same issue with Duggan and how he’s used Kate, etc. Like, its more about trying to figure out how to make a distinction that casts side-eye on certain writers for their framing of specific scenes, without invalidating those scenes or what they say or suggest about the characters if that makes sense?

Also, I didn’t read Rainbow Rowell’s Runaways…were Nico and Pixie ever a canon thing there, or just a fanon ship? Anyone know?

One thing I kind of wish we had seen in HOXPOX was a page or two of them just bringing back all the many previously dead mutants. 

Like I know we saw Banshee, Synch, Skin, and Havok in the crowds and others will be in upcoming books but I wanted to see just a montage of returning mutants: Wolfsbane, Loa, Sunspot, Strong Guy, Madrox, Thunderbird, Triage, the Nasty Boys, Harry Leland, Vanisher, Chamber, the Hellions, Avalanche, Wolf Cub, Wither, Wallflower, Onyxx, Icarus, Tag, Quill, and all the bus kids, Velocidad, Berzerker, Tommy, Scaleface, Healer, Glow Worm, Bulk, Caliban, and all the other dead Morlocks, Feral, Rusty Collins, Tempo, Petra, Sway, Jack O’Diamonds, Mindworm, Stonewall, Super Sabre, Ugly John, Infectia, Tower, Bolt, Squid Boy, Changeling, Basilisk, Wing, Risque, Alexei Kravinoff, Diamond Lil, Sapna, Alchemy, Sunpyre, maybe even X-Statix, and on and on and on, all just all shown coming back en masse.
