Zaladane!

So here’s my way to bring her back.

Polaris is missing, presumed dead. Wanda is asked to skry for her and she picks up her essence in the afterlife. She summons “Polaris” to the living realm, only to find out that the essence of Polaris she sensed was actually the part that Zaladane had siphoned off before she was killed.

Now she’s back and on the loose!

Thoughts?

Headcanon: Origins of Zaladane

Astra is Zaladane's "mother"!

Wait! wait! Stay with me...

Astra learned of Lorna Dane's existence from Mastermind. She probably did some investigation because she noticed Magneto was preoccupied with something (Lorna). Due to Astra's unhealthy obsession with Magneto, she steals some DNA from him (from the med lab, his hairbrush, or whatever) and creates a child that is combined with Astra's DNA. She grows Zaladane in an artificial womb and artificially advances her age (because babies, ew). Then presents Zaladane as a child to Magneto while he's in his Savage Land base, hoping that Zaladane is something that Magneto wants and it would cause them to be closer.

Magneto is horrified and feels violated by the fact that she used his DNA and threatens to kill her if he ever sees her again. She teleports off, leaving Zaladane behind because she doesn't really care about Zaladane. Astra is more upset that her plan didn't work. Magneto takes pity on Zaladane and leaves her with a family in Savage Land.

I imagine that Astra see Zaladane as a means to an end and is a bit cruel to her before presenting her to Magneto. Combined with Zaladane's fast aging (in my headcanon), or maybe adjustments that Astra made to Zaladane's DNA, Zaladane ends up psychotic.

Then she shows up in later stories, and we know how her story ends...

If you are a Zaladane stan and you have not checked out this spectacular chapter of the New Mutants fic, I immediately revoke all the privileges from being a part of the tribe!

If you have indeed checked out this lesbian fever dream of a fanfic, I bet you liked it. Repost it into filth! Let the world and the people tremble!

AIPT comics interview Tim Seeley to talk about Rogue: the Savage Land. https://aiptcomics.com/2025/01/20/x-men-monday-282-tim-seeley-rogue-savage/

A couple of highlights include:

I think, as I get older, the thing that’s most interesting is the relationship between Magneto and Rogue. And I don’t mean what would later become an occasional romance — that aspect isn’t really apparent in this story. But, the idea that these two, who should be enemies, could work together is really interesting. What do they respect about each other? What do they relate on? What conflicts do they still maintain? I had many thoughts on that. Also, dinosaurs and swimsuit.

Yes. All for this. Would love to see more interactions between the two where a friendship can be built on. Some of the responses make it seem like the series is going to undercut the romance potential between those two however. I don't have a dog in this fight when it comes to shipping but it's been reiterated by other writers that there was a spark there and I hate needless retcons. That's an assumption though. I'll wait and see...

I wanted to make Zaladane more witchy. I wanted to make her culty. And most of all, I wanted to make her scary. And I wanted to get into WHY she is this way. Her origin has always been a bit murky —we’ll explore it.

Eek! I'm excited by this. I don't have a problem with the witchy thing because Zaladane was a priestess back in the day. Will Tim Seeley keep in mind how Zaladane told Lorna that she was her sister? Will he keep in mind the tech Zaladane used was supposed to only work on blood relatives (and then worked on Lorna and Magneto). Another wait and see...

Listing Magneto's 10 biological children bc I think it's hilarious. I'm gonna start with identifying the baby mamas and then listing the children resulting from the affair.

(Note: Some are only canon to specific story arcs/runs and/or have been retconned. I am aware of these things but am choosing to ignore them. Also I am not going to force myself to read the comics they're from lol so I'm quoting articles I found)

Magda Eisenhardt:

-Anya Eisenhardt

-Nina Gursky

-Wanda Maximoff

-Pietro Maximoff

Suzanna Dane:

-Lorna Dane

-Zaladane (not confirmed)

Rogue:

-Magnus

-Charles Lehnsherr

Rogue Darkholme (not the same as Rogue):

-Plague

Charles Xavier:

-Onslaught

No Baby Mama, Made in a Lab:

-Alpha

It makes me so happy that Charles is on the list of baby mamas XD I know it's not the same bc it was a psionic brain baby but still. If I were to make an AU all of them would be included bc I love that tomcat energy and messed up family dynamics are fun. Man has so many children it's ridiculous. My primary source is this article where they call procreation Magneto's most potent superpower.
