#X Men Schism

[johanneswinstonwileyatmse]

X-Men Regenesis is probably one of those comics who have really really stayed with me. To the point it inspired my writing.

The teams aren’t even that different lol.

Siiiigh. Raid on Graymalkin

If nothing else, the marketing is dumb as hell. What do these people have to fight about? What is the dream worth when everyone is trying to murder you, again? Pretending to any kind of ideological sophistication here is frankly annoying - the work has not been put in.

Sure, covers always lie but I don't think that's what's going on here. I hate it and it fails the groan test for me.

The inevitable meeting between The X-Men and the Exceptional X-Men.

Logan & Scott are genuinely quite close friends and I understand that if you’re mostly familiar with the movies or the cartoons you might not know that, but they are so close and they love each other so much.

Since the X-Office is probably doing a “Schism” repeat…

Here’s some X-tra ideas writers…

Laura and Logan fighting over killing evvvvilll clones!! - Honestly I just want Logan called out for X-Force/dropping Laura off at the school and leaving her BTW (the bigger question is who gets custody of Hellion- Julian weirdly stuck it out at Jean Grey school despite hating Logan…but he’s closer to Laura…but there’s a lot of baggage there…)

The Saddest possible Schism of them all 😢😂🤣

This interaction between Wolverine & Idie Okonkwo, with Logan encouraging Idie to just be a kid and even sharing some ice cream together after witnessing Cyclops increasingly militaristic attitude, is honestly one of the most heartwarming and humanizing Wolverine scenes ever!

X-Men: Prelude to Schism (2011) #3

[orangedodge]

Okay, I have some questions:

1 how old was Dani Moonstar at the time of the, roughly, 2005 New X-Men series, and by extension, M-Day?

2 how old is she supposed to be now?

For the record, a part of me wants to say she was 19 when Elixir became her ward, but I'm not sure. I'm just trying to figure this out for myself.

If you take the in-universe dates and ages at face value, then we know 1) Rahne was 19 during New Mutants vol. 2/Academy X, when she worked as a teaching assistant. 2) Sam was over 21 during New Mutants vol. 3/Utopia (where he's above the California drinking age and it's not presented as a fake ID). Dani and Sam were both 16 when they were introduced, and were between 2 and 3 years older than Rahne. Utopia takes place around a year after Messiah Complex (and therefore both Academy X and M-Day), but that's also a direct reference to the real passage of time in a Marvel comic (always dangerous to trust!), so you could just as well ignore it if you want and have it take place some undisclosed number of months later. Either way Dani ends up being around 21 - 22 when she met Josh, depending on if she has an early or late birthday.

As for her current age in the comics right now... um, honestly she's probably intended to be around the same age, as absurd as that sounds? They've heavily compressed the timeline for Krakoa, so that there would be only two generations of X-Men, and part of the effect of having everyone die and get resurrected at least once is to let them just ignore age differences from here on out. If you look around at the modern comics, Laura (and her age cohort) are treated as the same age as the New Mutants or Jubilee. Xuan is dating a student and no one thinks it's weird. Illyana and Doug are presented as being in the same generation as Teen Cable, who is around the same age as the Stepford sisters and Armor. They're all somewhere nebulously in their early twenties, with the older X-Men (Scott's cohort) all somewhere nebulously around thirty.

Thanks for the question!

I'm waiting for Jean to SLAP THE SHIT out of cyclops for what he did from schism up to secret wars. I feel like she would be so pissed that the person she was closest to during the dark Phoenix saga would fall under the influence of the Phoenix not once BUT TWICE and do some pretty horrible things for what he thinks is right (using kids as soldiers, killing Prof. X, literally almost being the reason humans hated mutants again, contributing to the end of the world, etc.)

And he still kept most of the ideologies that he had during this time after he had been brought back to life. Bro literally became magneto jr.

Scott summers didn't use to want to commit genocide bc mutants were getting hurt right? Bc he wants to wipe out the entire brood species now

I love X-Men utopia era most people just hate fun.
