(X-Men First Class Finals #2)

One of the many things I hold against Charles Xavier is how little he seems to have tried to prepare his surrogate son for life outside of being a superhero.

I mean presumably, Xavier's school does count as an actual school. The kids do go on to college or university after (though I don't believe Scott actually finished. And Jean, honestly, is questionable). Bobby at least learned enough to become an actual accountant and Warren can run his family businesses well enough.

But like, emotionally, what has Xavier actually done to prepare these kids for adulthood?

And it's particularly notable in Scott's case, because at least the others had their families (awful as they could be at times) to provide some measure of support or direction. Scott had a mad scientist's orphanage/laboratory, and then a petty street criminal wanting to use him as a living cannon. That's it.

(I suppose, eventually, he has Alex. I suppose I should give credit to Xavier there, since in the earliest issues, Scott very explicitly had NO ONE. He spent holidays at the mansion, with nowhere to go and no one to contact. All New X-Men Scott is delighted to reunite with his older-younger brother, but there's no indication there that he'd been having semi-regular contact with him. So we can assume contact was made AFTER issue #8.)

But anyway, Xavier has this kid, who has nothing, dropped in his lap, and the closest thing he does to any kind of guidance counseling is make him team leader and then skip town. (And later fake his death.)

It's just a little horrifying when you think about it. What kind of prospects does Scott actually have, career wise, if he does leave the X-Men. (Maybe piloting? Presumably he does have a license. And if his grandparents are still alive, he might be able to take Madelyne's old job?)

For that matter, how many of the various teachers at either the New-X-Men era Academy, or the Jean Grey School actually have the credentials to teach anyone?! (I'm not really bringing up Scott's post AvX "school" there, because that was less a school and more of a specialized training facility held in a secret bunker. No one was even pretending to learn how to pass the SATs.)

And honestly, it didn't seem like there was ANY organized school structure on Krakoa. I mean, yes, it IS mutant paradise. But still, kids ought to be learning math and shit, right?

And now what do we have? Emma and Kitty's students do still seem to be attending regular school at least. Scott's team are already adults (or maybe emancipated in the case of Idie and Quentin?). I don't know what the fuck is going on for the folks living in the swamp though. Maybe that'll come up after the crossover.

(I also doubt they have any real health insurance or work history that would qualify them for social security later. Being part of a millionaire/billionaire's private child army isn't really great for future prospects, I notice...)

Blooming Embarrassment

Logan Howlett x fem!reader x Victor Creed

no warnings. just fluff

The Xavier Institute was a place of peace and healing, or at least that’s what everyone kept telling you. The walls were sturdy, the beds comfortable, the food edible—most of the time. It was supposed to be a refuge for mutants like yourself, a safe haven after the nightmare endured at the hands of an anti-mutant organization. Yet, for all the safety it promised, it had presented an entirely new problem: Victor Creed and Logan Howlett. It wasn’t fair for two men to look that good. Victor was tall, broad, with a sharp grin that promised nothing but trouble. Logan, the same height, carried the same raw presence. The way they moved, all lethal confidence, had your heart beating wildly every time you caught sight of them. Unfortunately, that wasn’t the only thing happening. Flowers. From your feet. Your powers were mostly useful—controlling animals, growing plants—but when flustered, they took on a life of their own. The moment nervousness, shyness, or embarrassment struck, flowers sprouted beneath you like a fairytale curse. Which was why speaking to either of them had been successfully avoided. Until today.

————————-

Heading to the kitchen for a late-night snack, you see him. Victor Creed, standing in the hallway, arms crossed, watching your approach with something that resembled mild interest. Shit. Turning back would make it obvious you were avoiding him. Instead, you take a deep breath and keep walking. Maybe if you just keep your head down— “Hey.” Oh no. Glancing up, you meet his amused golden eyes. “Uh. Hi.” Victor tilts his head, examining you like a puzzle he’s trying to solve. “You’re new.” “Been here a while,” you mumble. “Just… quiet.” “That so?” He takes a lazy step toward you, predatory by nature, even when he isn’t trying to be. “Figured you were a ghost or somethin’. Always see ya walkin’ by, but never hear a peep.” The size difference feels overwhelming. “I just… keep to myself.” He smirks, about to say something else—when it happens. Flowers. Right at your feet. Bright pink peonies bloom in an instant, curling around your ankles, vibrant against the dull hallway floor. Victor’s smirk falters as he glances down, then back up at your face. “What the hell?” “Nothing!” you squeak, before promptly turning and fleeing in the opposite direction.

————————

An afternoon in the mansion’s living room should be relaxing. Ororo sits beside you on the couch, flipping through a book, while Kurt lounges in a chair across from you, happily munching on a chocolate bar. The quiet hum of conversation fills the air, a rare moment of peace in a house full of chaos. It’s nice. Comfortable. Then Logan walks in. You don’t notice at first, but Ororo does. She glances up from her book, a smirk tugging at her lips. “Here comes trouble.” Kurt chuckles, following her gaze. “Ah, ja. Our dear friend is about to have a moment.” You frown, confused, until a familiar voice speaks up. “Didn’t expect to find ya here, sweetheart.” Your stomach flips. Logan strides in, casual as ever, a towel draped over his shoulders from what was likely an intense training session. He smells faintly of sweat and soap, his damp hair curling slightly at the ends. The sight alone is enough to make your face burn. Stay calm. Stay calm. Stay— Flowers. Dainty white lilies and tiny purple violets burst from the floor beneath you, creeping around your ankles like they were always meant to be there. Logan pauses mid-step, eyebrows raising. His lips twitch, eyes darting from the flowers to your mortified expression. “Huh.” Ororo elegantly places a bookmark in her novel, watching with open amusement. “Fascinating.” Kurt barely suppresses a laugh. “A most unique reaction.” You want the earth to swallow you whole. Logan takes a slow step forward, deliberately closing the distance. “So, what kinda flowers ya think I’ll get if I—” He reaches out, nudging your chin up with a single finger. Sunflowers. Bright, golden, utterly betraying you. Kurt actually snorts. Ororo hides her grin behind her hand. “Oh, this is delightful.” Logan chuckles, stepping back. “Gotta say, darlin’, you’re makin’ this real fun for me.” You bury your face in your hands. “I hate this.” “No, you don’t,” Ororo teases. You do. (You really don’t.)

—————————

A few days later, Victor approaches with a mischievous glint in his eye. “Got somethin’ for ya,” he drawls, holding out a bouquet of wildflowers. The gesture alone is shocking enough to leave you speechless. “Figured if you’re gonna be sprouting these things, might as well bring my own.” You stare at the flowers, then at him. “You’re messing with me.” “Always.” He grins. “But I do wanna take ya out. Walk in the woods, just us. What do ya say?” Despite yourself, warmth spreads through your chest. “Fine.” The next evening, you walk together through the dense forest, the cool evening breeze rustling the leaves. Victor is surprisingly quiet at first, the usual smugness replaced by something more contemplative. Occasionally, his arm brushes against yours, and every time it does, your heartbeat picks up. You brought carrots for the deer, and when a small herd appears in the clearing, you both watch them with quiet appreciation. Victor chuckles as one nudges your hand for more food. “They like you.” “They’re animals,” you point out. “Of course they do.” He watches you carefully, something unreadable in his gaze. Then, his smirk returns. “Bet if I tried real hard, I could make ya bloom right now.” You scoff. “Not happening.” “Oh yeah?” He steps closer, his voice dropping an octave. “What if I—” “You wouldn’t.” “I would.” You jab him lightly in the ribs, laughing—until you suddenly find yourself pinned against a tree, Victor’s large hands gripping your wrists. His sharp grin fades just a little, his gaze darkening as he studies your face. “Y’know, you really are somethin’ else.” The teasing drops away for just a moment, leaving something more raw, more real. You barely have time to react before he crashes his lips against yours, rough and consuming. His grip tightens, the heat of his body pressing against yours, overwhelming in the best way. Your breath hitches, and just as expected—flowers bloom wildly at your feet, spiraling up the bark of the tree behind you. Wild roses, soft petals brushing against your ankles, betraying every emotion swirling inside you. Victor pulls back just enough to see the display, then smirks against your lips. “Knew it.”

———————

Logan’s low growl echoed across the room as he leaned against the door frame, arms crossed, a smug grin plastered across his face. “So, you’ve been avoiding me. What’s the deal, sweetheart? You’ve been making flowers grow like it’s your job every time we talk.” You shifted uncomfortably, your cheeks blazing with heat, and, as always, you felt the telltale tingling in your feet. Sure enough, delicate white blossoms began to bloom at the edges of your shoes. You swore you could hear him chuckle under his breath. “I—I’m not avoiding you,” you stammered, trying to hide your embarrassment. "It just happens." “Oh, I know. You’re trying to keep your cool, huh?” Logan’s voice dropped a little, teasing. “But these flowers sure are a giveaway.” Your feet were now covered in a carpet of white petals, the bright flowers seeming to mock your every move. You wanted to disappear, but at the same time, you couldn’t help but feel drawn to his attention. “You know, I think I’d like to see what happens if we keep talking,” Logan continued, stepping closer, his eyes twinkling with mischief. He leaned down slightly, taking in the sight of your feet, the flowers blossoming like a spring garden in full bloom. “I’m warning you,” you mumbled, but you couldn’t help the small smile tugging at the corners of your mouth. The situation was too ridiculous, and yet, Logan’s presence was somehow reassuring. “If you keep teasing me, you’re going to be covered in flowers too.” Logan raised an eyebrow, his lips curling upward. “You think I’m scared of a few flowers, sweetheart? I’ve fought in wars, but nothing scares me more than a shy, flustered woman with flowers growing at her feet.” You rolled your eyes, trying not to let the heat creep up to your ears, but it was useless. The teasing was working, and you were getting more and more embarrassed by the second. “Fine,” Logan said suddenly, reaching behind him and pulling out a small bouquet of vibrant, wildflowers. “I figured I’d bring you some of your own kind.” He grinned like a cat who had just caught a mouse. You stared at him, wide-eyed. “You—brought me flowers?” “Yeah, figured it might get me some points,” he replied, his teasing tone softening just enough to show he was being sincere. “I might have teased you about these flowers, but I kind of like the way you make them grow.” He handed you the bouquet, his fingers brushing yours as he did, sending a spark of warmth through your chest. You took the flowers, your heart pounding, and glanced at Logan. “You’re really persistent, huh?” “I am,” he agreed with a wink. “But I like the challenge.” His smile widened as he stepped a little closer, his presence intoxicating. “So, how about we get away from this garden of yours and go grab dinner? Maybe you can show me what happens when we’re not standing around all awkward.” Your breath caught, and you almost wanted to say no, but the way his eyes were fixed on you made it impossible. “Are you asking me out?” He chuckled, low and rich, the sound rumbling through his chest. “Wouldn’t be much of a date if I didn’t.” “I don’t know, Logan…” You feigned hesitation, despite the butterflies swirling in your stomach. “I might get nervous again. And you might have to put up with more flowers.” “Then I’ll make sure we’re sitting somewhere with plenty of room for your garden to grow,” Logan teased back, his voice turning softer as his hand brushed against your cheek. “Just say yes, and I promise we’ll make it worth your while.” With a deep breath, you smiled, the air between you both thick with anticipation. “Alright, fine. Dinner sounds good.” Logan’s grin widened, and as he leaned in closer, you felt your heart race.

Since Xavier is so little prince coded is mc the lone rose 🌹 back on his planet or the fox 🦊

Ohhh wow Anon..I didn't want to think too much on this, mostly because I read The Little Prince like..years ago and the plot isn't that coherently in my head but let's see..

The obvious interpretation can be..

Xavier is the little prince, traveling through the space, wandering on all these planets, learning something new everyday, learning from the people he meets and in turn teaching them something as well..

Queen MC should represent the rose, the Prince’s beloved whom he has left. In the book, the Prince leaves the Rose due to her vain, proud and naive behaviour. But here in Love and Deepspace, the Prince has left his beloved in order to save her from the fate destined for her..In a way, the rose has always been the major source of motivation for his travels..

Then..that must imply that the Fox represents the current timeline MC? In a way, yeah you could say that. The Fox becomes a dear friend and teaches the prince the significance of people in his life. About how one person in this sea of so many, becomes important because of the connection we share with said person, and the time we spend cultivating said relationship with them. The Fox calls this “taming”. According to the fox, “to tame means to establish ties.”

“If you tame me, then we shall need each other. To me, you will be unique in all the world. To you, I shall be unique in all the world.” says the Fox.

And since Xavier has left his planet, as well as his timeline and met the current MC, they both have been slowly taming each other i.e. they've been slowly establishing a bond with each other with every encounter and moment spent together in the main story.

Now in The Little Prince..

The Fox teaches the Prince the importance of ties and significance of one person compared to the rest around them:

“It is only with the heart that one can see rightly; what is essential is invisible to the eye.”

And the Fox makes the Prince realize how dear his beloved Rose is to him, and that he has a responsibility towards the Rose:

“You mustn’t forget it. You become responsible forever for what you’ve tamed. You’re responsible for your rose.”

So if Love and Deepspace writers take the same route..

then in accordance, there will come a point that Xavier might have to leave the current MC and go back to his own timeline’s Queen MC (which is exactly what he came back in time for) because he has a responsibility. And the responsibility in this context is that he vowed to himself that he'll save her life. Get her out of this cursed fate of dying and being brought back to life over and over for the sake of a planet.

BUT!

THIS IS A CHINESE OTOME GAME! And yes while that justifies nothing, I firmly believe that it is highly unlikely that the game might follow this route..

..simply because Xavier himself has never acted as such. He's been nothing but protective towards the current MC. He's been killing his own ex-teammates from the Backtrackers in order to protect MC. And he doesn't hesitate in doing so which in itself cement his standpoint and his feelings towards the current MC.

Also, I believe that..IN ESSENCE, QUEEN MC AND CURRENT MC HAVE THE SAME SOUL, AND ARE THE SAME PERSON.

So our MC doesn't need to be the Rose or the Fox. She most likely is both a cherished friend and a lover to Xavier because she is afterall, the same person. With the amount of times she's died (or forced into dying), it's obvious that the Queen MC from Xavier's actual timeline could very well be the current MC who's died so many times that in a distant future, she is reborn and exists in the same era as the one that Xavier comes from.

My word is not absolute, and this is still a very rough way to put it all into words. But I do firmly believe that that one thing that the antis keep using to antagonise Xavier will not come true because he's always been in love with ONE person and our MC as well as the Queen MC are THAT one and the same person.

» But hey! If Xavier does betray current timeline MC, then we might possibly get a plotline/route like I posted about [HERE] and I am not averse to that.

The X-Men and activism

Doomed are the peacemakers mutants

The X-Men have just moved to San Francisco because the city loves them, mostly. Simon Trask is pushing Proposition X - that would legislate mandatory chemical sterility for all mutants - and it's looking like it's going to be put to an emergency vote in the California state legislature.

Let's just ignore that he's a cyborg sentinel

His 'grassroots' political movement is marching on city hall for a demonstration while some of the X-Men have organised a counter protest. As is so often the case, mutants are not a monolith and have different ideas about the best approach. Hank McCoy is here to peacefully assemble, but some of the younger mutants like the idea of direct action.

There's a pretty obvious irony that Hellion calls them racists (they are) while using supremacist language. It's true to life that organising is very hard and there's always going to be people who escalate, but it's a little uncomfortable to 'both sides' a eugenics proposition by making the oppressed guilty of starting a riot. They don't throw the first punch, but they certainly get blamed for it. Maybe that's the point. Prop X's real life inspiration, Prop 8, did pass in California. However, it was ruled unconstitutional by the Supreme Court. Marvel's constitution and human rights charter might be different though, because anti-mutant policy doesn't seem to get challenged on that level, ever. A minority underclass that actually is dangerous muddles the mutant metaphor. Mutants being 'loaded guns' is the stated reason for Prop X, but the actual content is unconscionable.

Hank tries to assert his desire for peaceful protest to both sides, but he looks naive when Trask's mob are beating the shit out of kids. People should fucking riot.

If you've been in a riot, or really any kind of violent crowd situation, you'll know that controlling a mob with words is near impossible. It's unrealistic that there were no cops present from the start. Trask's Humanity Now! coalition marched here from Sacramento so they'd certainly be aware. Selectively enforcing state violence is nothing new, but it's a bad look for the city. Cops and ambulances do arrive, but they aren't shown beating a single person.

As the riot flares up we start to see the media report on it, with the language used poisoning the well for mutants. That, at least, is realistic.

Ironically, the only advocate for non-violence - Beast - is tased repeatedly by cops at gunpoint. It's not commented on, but I think it's obvious they're doing it because he looks scary. Sure, he may have refused some police direction or resisted arrest (unlikely) but it's obvious this was always going to happen. He's standing over the unconscious Pixie, trying to protect her, and gets attacked and arrested for his trouble.

What's presented as political pundits discussing the riot makes a token effort to hold the hate mob accountable, but the voice blaming mutants for violence gets the last word. There's also cries of 'where the hell are the X-Men?' suggesting they're both responsible for violence, expected to contain it, AND make a PR statement. There's really no way to win here except to not play, except they can't sit around and do nothing when their reproductive autonomy is threatened. It highlights a major flaw in Charles Xavier ideology - positioning the X-Men as the mutant cops and representatives of all mutants leaves you stuck in the middle of shit like this. The state won't protect them and non-X-Men mutants don't get a political voice.

That's even more apparent when Scott and Emma meet with the Mayor of San Francisco. She asks why he allowed this to happen and complains of clearly biased media coverage showing Hellion and company protecting themselves - spun into mutants as aggressors. Scott kinda is and isn't the president of mutants. He's got the relationship with the mayor and the most influence among mutants, but his job and responsibilities are informal.

He and Emma push back, but all parties seem to agree that he needs to take responsibility for putting this fire out. Not Trask, not local law enforcement, but a civilian who runs a paramilitary group/school that's the face of an entire people. Blamed for any problems with mutants, responsible for defusing them, and responsible for protecting mutants. It's a lot, and that's just reactively navigating problems that come to them, proactivity is completely off the table. As he says to Xavier when Utopia is raised, 'you didn't teach me any of this.'

Trask holds a press conference denying responsibility and parroting his usual ugly talking points. No mutant does the same thing, which is probably a mistake. I doubt it would have deescalated or changed anyone's mind, but if Scott is in the position of leadership there's value in showing the world your face and challenging the narrative. He's going to be smeared by the press anyway while they report unevenly, and some mutants will think he's a bootlicker, but not using a national platform feels like a waste.

Then again, this whole thing is a setup. He's in an impossible position and counter protesting just got mutants beaten up by bigots and cops alike. He could say that the X-Men are doing everything they can, but that opens a whole can of worms. He could refute Trask's rhetoric, but the media would edit it unfavorably. Also, he's only just been thrust into this position and there's going to be a learning curve. Norman Osborn and HAMMER deploy very quickly too, so there may not have been enough time. Osborn is notoriously a bad faith actor and they'll have to deal with him soon enough.

We see how other influential parties in the world think. The Fantastic Four don't give a shit. As long as Franklin is safe it's not their problem. The Avengers tell Logan he can go but don't do anything themselves, despite mutants facing forced sterilisation, a huge hate group, and a state-sponsored supervillain.

DOOM and Loki find it interesting, but they're mainly concerned with the ticking clock that is Norman Osborn's mental stability. Scott isn't shown telling anyone to stop protesting, though he does deploy X-Men as harm minimisation. As before, Humanity Now! are shown initiating violence without any law enforcement stepping in.

It's here that Scott actually, doing exactly what Xavier would want minus unethical telepathy. Bad mutants doing bad things? The X-Men beat them up. Again, the mutants didn't start this but are willing to fight back, but Cyke leads a team in shutting them down. It's not exactly showing the world a united front but it's what's expected of them. It's likely he recognises that this is an arena they can't win in and wants to regroup to engage on his terms. Plenty of mutants disagree, and who can blame them? Civil rights are written in the blood of minorities.

Critically, there's no appeal to mutant solidarity between Scott and Toad. It's not clear what Toad was doing or what his political agenda is, but the art portrays him as a snarling, ugly savage. My interpretation is that we're meant to agree with Scott - that Toad is just here for the violence despite making a scathing accusation of the X-Men. Needless to say, this is not any kind of means for successful coalition building - nobody responds well to threats and insults. Especially when mutants are such a tiny group, they need all the allies they can get. Toad and Scott might hate each other, but a big part of organising is standing next to people you don't like and pointing yourselves in the same direction. I find Toad sympathetic here, and not just because of ACAB. Toad is a non-passing mutant with a criminal record who's never had a voice in mutant politics. If everyone hates him, how TF is he expected to act?

It's not clear who throws the brick at Scott. The blocking of the scene suggests it's a Humanity Now! member, though he's lecturing Toad at the time. I'm pretty sure it's the dude that's being arrested in the fourth panel. Interestingly, the cops are portrayed as very reasonable, simply not having the manpower to stop a million people. It's ridiculous that Scott is expected to deescalate this situation, and he asks the cop if they can't handle this hate mob, who can? I have to wonder if his respect for law and order here is genuine. Sure, in the abstract that's a good thing, but when the protection of said law isn't extended to you (and you're meant to be an auxiliary agent of it) what choice do you have?

The whole X-Men modus operandi assumes good faith from the state, and that's never been true even at the best of times. This isn't the best of times, and sometimes an especially bad faith actor is elected or appointed. The idea is that more reasonable political actors counterbalance that, but that's not even true in real life. Sure, Osborn could stand in for Trump or whoever, but there's rarely just a single bad guy with power. There's a whole lot of them and even more who are apathetic centrists, operating in a system that's fundamentally unjust.

The X-Men have always been a PR group at their core - they save the world and stop bad guys - but they do it to show the world 'not all mutants.' The world knows this already, it just doesn't care, making their position incredibly fragile. They'll always be the social other. Most won't care enough to advocate for them, and many profit from the inequality. They fight to protect a world that hates and fears them, but that hasn't achieved a lot in terms of protections and rights. This is part 1 of what I have planned as a five part series on the X-Men's activism and political action. Part two will be a direct sequel to this situation, and then we go back in time to examine Xavier as a human-presenting mutant advocate.

The Angel of the Cosmos: An LaDS Fan Myth

Art by Kirakanjo

Author's Note: This is a fan-made myth for the game Love and Deepspace, which is based off the art I commissioned from talented artist Kirakanjo. All characters (save for my OCs) belong to Infold/Paper Games. PLEASE DON'T COME FOR ME! Inspiration: The idea that Xavier is an Angel of the Cosmos who creates the stars in the sky.

---------------------------------------------------------------------- 01 -------------

In Philos, there is a fairy tale that all children here as their parents put them to bed for the night. It is the story of the Angel of Cosmos, the creator of the stars in the sky, who paints the sky with stars day and night, and carries the light of all creation within his wings. If you are lucky, you might see the angel extend his wings before flying through the clouds, the star shining brighter as he passes by in order to gain his attention. There is a saying that if you see the stars when the sun is out, it means in the Angel of Cosmos is full of joy. He is in his home, his domain, bathing the world below in his glorious, celestial light. But is also a tale, spun long ago, the tale of the Angel of Cosmos who fell to the earth and was captured by the cruel king who wished to keep him as a pet. Away from his celestial home, the Angel of Cosmos fell into despair, courting danger to everyone as there was a massive black hole growing in his heart... But this is also the story of a brave princess, who push aside her own insecurities and fears to do the right thing, to save her people from her father's arrogance...and release the man she grew to love, in spite of her of heart's deepest desire...

| The Palace of the Philos Royal Family | In the throne room of the King of Philos, discussions are taking place in earnest. The Eldest Princess of the Royal family has long come of age - and now, in order to cement his might, she must be married off before she is considered to be too old to be useful. The Crown Prince of a Neighboring Country has come to express his interest in Her Royal Highness. His reputation proceeds him - he is known mostly for devilishly handsome looks, but under hushed tones, people whisper about his outward cruelty.

The Eldest Princess doesn't want to marry him.

She doesn't want to marry anyone. She would rather return to the convent she was raised in and continue to learn more about the world around her. The King isn't even her biological father - she is his niece, placed in his care after her parents died at sea. And while she cannot say that she was mistreated during her time here, she is fully aware of her status as a minor burden and a massive liability.

Hence, she must be married off and quickly. She is not at all slender and graceful like the Second Princess - the King's Actual Daughter - is. She is curvy, plump, and well-rounded - the very anti-thesis of feminine virtue. At least that's what the other courtiers say.

But she would rather be alone and untouched, than to be battered by a man who didn't love her.

The Eldest Princess stands with her maid behind a screen, on a balcony that allows them to be privy of the discussions. "It looks like everything will soon be settled, your Highness," the head lady-in-waiting says dreamily. "Finally, you will be properly married!" "Hmph...unfortunately." The Eldest Princess hitches up her skirt, walking away from the spectacle. "Now matter how much I insist that it's unnecessary, they insist upon marrying me off. They say it's good for me, but really, it's so His Majesty doesn't have to marry his daughter off to that rogue." The Eldest Princess storms through the castle corridors, only stopped by the commotion made by a group of guards pushing a mysterious box into one of the lower dungeons. She arches an eye, curious. "What is going on over there?"

"Didn't you hear? The King has brought another treasure home - and he says it's his most prized treasure of all!" "Prized treasure?" The Eldest Princess rolls her eyes. "What is it? Another exotic animal? Or another kingdom's prized treasure?"

"Nothing like that, your Highness." The Lady-in-Waiting leans close, whispering into her ear. "The guards say that the King has captured the Angel of the Cosmos himself!"

"What?! From the fairytales?" A playful grin spreads across the Eldest Princess' face. "I simply *must* see this!" "But your Highness, we'll be punished if we are found in the dungeon - " "Then we simply must be careful. That's all."

The Eldest Princess waits for the cover of night before she and her lady-in-waiting sneak through the halls, wearing black hooded capes in order to blend in with the darkness. The moment they slip into the dungeons, their breaths hitch. The dark, dank prisons, normally covered in shadow, mildew, and despair, shine with an unearthly, celestial light. He sits inside his cell, dressed in paper thin black fabrics, his unbuttoned shirt exposing the various bandages and scars all over his chest. His hair, ruffled and unkempt, is spun of platinum silk. He looks down at his hands, the quiet he exudes almost as deafening as that melancholy he carries in his soul. Yes the light of the heavens and skies still surrounds him, capturing everyone who sees it with the state of its holy aura.

"Gods..." The Eldest Princess says, walking toward the man. The moment his blue eyes look up to meet hers, she feels as if she is swimming in a sea of stars. "He really *is* the Angel of the Cosmos..."

thinking about how Magneto's iconic helmet in X-Men 97 is mostly not used at all in the entire series, and as he only wears it when he has a temporary backslide to his villain ideology (framed both as a desperate hopelessness that they can live in peace with humanity, and a fundamentally supremacist/isolationist ideology regarding mutants as superior to humans), the framing kind of suggests that his helmet is a sign of him being a supervillain.

When Magneto wears the anti-psionic helmet, he's way more guarded looking. It casts most of his face into shadow. It obscures him, leaving him ambigious looking, just as much as a viewer might be unsure of how much of Magneto's change of motives is entirely genuine or if he's playing a long-term scheme of some kind.

But he looks radically different without the helmet. He's... exposed, open and revealed. We see his whole face, and his hair; it cuts a dramatic air, almost a romantic novel's protagonist.

Magneto's helmet cuts him off from others. He wears it and hides himself, his intentions and his genuine feelings behind a persona.

He puts on the helmet, most notably, when in the wake of despair and hitting his point of no return, his horror at his inability to save so many of his people and obsessively fixating on the image of a young boy (who was so openly mutated that he couldn't live among humans) whom Magneto told that he would finally be safe, he becomes a living embodiment of vengeance and retribution against all humankind for the crimes that Bastion committed.

And when Xavier speaks directly to him, in the wake of the literal oceans of pain he suffers under, that's what makes him break out of it.

The helmet conceals, but it guards him against the suffering and horror he endures. He wears the helmet not least because he is not nearly as dedicated to his crusade as he appears. He doesn't want to do this things; deep down, he doesn't want to be a supervillain. He genuinely does believe that his world is a shared world, and that in his most wild of dreams, his people and the rest of humanity live in peace together. But after all the things he's seen, all the horrors he has personally suffered through or failed to stop, he can't believe its really possible. Magneto kills without hesitation or pity, but he doesn't want to.

He just can't really bring himself to believe that a future together is possible. Every single fiber of his being screams 'this will happen again, and it will keep happening, until no one is left who can do it to your people'.

And Xavier can talk Magneto into hoping otherwise.

The helmet serves many purposes. But one of them is that without it, Magneto would be unable to carry out his actions, because Xavier can connect to him.

Magneto: A bit extreme, but uncompromising of his beliefs

Magneto may be extreme and tortured and dangerous, but his belief and support for mutant kind is unwavering. He can not be called the hero anymore and has voluntarily removed himself from the X-men roster and he is fine with that. Walking Xavier's path made him weak. It did. His defeat on Genosha was due to him carrying too many people and of walking the centrist view.

He may be holding on too tight to his pain and suffering from the past, but it was all those things that fueled him becoming Magneto- Master of Magnetism, and not a bum on the street. I can't get behind his more extreme methods or anti-human stance, but I get his wariness and weariness of humans and their bigotry.

I also applaud Magneto for being unlike Charles Xavier in that he supports all of mutant kind- those that are poor, low powered, and downtrodden and not just the powerful or the passable humanoid ones. Magneto looks after the Morlocks who the X-men dismiss or overlook and creates Genosha- a place for all mutants to live freely and look and act as they please without judgment or shame.

The X-men are privileged mutants who live in the lap of luxury and provide their gifts to the team in exchange for security and protection. They are mostly humanoid mutants that have godlike powers. They are removed from living in guilt or shame of having mutancy and feeling like a freak. Magneto understands this pain and the anger of living through it.

My criticism of the X-men and Xavier's beliefs is that they are privileged and can't fully understand how mutants who have been tortured, harassed, and tested on feel. They advise in fitting in with the mainstream by adapting to the human world and promote human-mutant coexistence. This is easy for them to proclaim living tucked away in a fortress like mansion or having expensive training and specialized equipment made for them to control their powers and make them more palatable to humans, but the masses of average mutants don't have that luxury. And Erik would argue that why should mutants have to change who they are and bend and squeeze to pacify a group of bigots who distrust and hate them anyway. I once wrote a post comparing Magneto to Malcolm X and Xavier to MLK and I think it's appropriate.

I don't believe necessarily in the only way to fight your oppressors is violence, but I do see that it is annoying that the only way for a minority group to be accepted is to be Excellent or Exemplary poster children of strength and beauty and to also be seen as harmless rule followers of the majority's way of life.

Avengers Vs X-Men and the demonisation of Cyclops

Part 1

Avengers Vs X-Men, or AvX, was a Summer crossover event in 2012. The title is pretty self explanatory, but there's a lot more to it than that. It was a bookend of sorts of the Extinction era and a coda for Wanda (and her terrible characterisation) calling back to House of M, narratively undoing the Decimation and exploring Hope's role as the Mutant Messiah.

I believe plenty of the dramatis personae played idiot ball hot potato and acted out of character, especially Steve Rogers. However, I'll primarily be looking at the event through a Watsonian lens, except for discussing the setup and aftermath. Scott Summers struggled against many forces during the Phoenix crisis but I propose the narrative was the most powerful force that opposed him.

Logan is describing himself here, ironically. Scott is quite happy with Emma. He talks a good one about 'keeping the kids out of the fighting' but he's perfectly willing to kill Hope and his students fight constantly.

Wolverine and the Schism

To do a proper analysis of AvX and the central conflict, we need to examine the previous instance of the narrative defeating Scott - the Schism. The salient dynamic to carry forward from it was Logan and Scott falling out - or Logan throwing a hypocritical tantrum - depending on your point of view. Whichever you believe, it's undeniable that Logan resented Scott and managed to enlist a lot of people to follow on his campaign of 'anti-Scott.' He left Utopia and restarted the Xavier School, renaming it The Jean Grey School - both creepy and petty, in my opinion. The narrative and Cyclops' team kept all the genocidal threats away from the school, an editorial hand strengthening Logan's argument. Realistically the school should have been destroyed several times over.

My editorialising aside, Scott and Logan's relationship was not in a good place. They'd mostly kept away from each other, but Logan used his Avengers membership to escalate the Phoenix dilemma and poison the well re: the Avengers' approach to Scott. Aside from vague and fragmented warnings from Nova, Logan was The Avengers only source of information on the Phoenix - and he was heavily biased and objectively wrong. The somewhat one-sided rivalry from Schism had turned into outright animosity - telling 'everyone who'd listen ... that he was crazy.'

Phoenix Rising

The X-Men and Avengers both received confirmation of the Phoenix's arrival, though mutants in general had varying degrees of faith that it would come for Hope Summers specifically. As mentioned, Logan positioned himself as an expert despite Rachel Summers, long time Phoenix host, teaching at his school. Scott absolutely had an agenda, but it was reactive and had good reason to believe that the Phoenix had good intentions. Though even if he didn't, he didn't call the Phoenix to Earth. The bird does as it pleases. He certainly could/should have treated Hope like an adult and asked what she wanted, but at the same time she was a 16 year old in his care.

Scott's approach was to prepare Hope as best he could for the trial to come, admittedly quite harshly. He knew there was no getting away from the Phoenix, it's simply too powerful to evade or fight head on. He also should have consulted Rachel, though he corrected that mistake swiftly once things kicked off. Not only was he married to the Phoenix for quite some time but he's aware it's spent a lot of time on earth at least 6 different hosts and the Earth is doing just fine. Importantly, his time-travelling son had been to many futures where Hope was denied the Phoenix and they were ashes, the Earth a desolate wasteland. In futures where she did host the Phoenix, mutants were reignited. His extensive time travelling had yielded very reliable information in the past, his claim that Hope was the Mutant Messiah is not one Scott just took on faith. Cable is an expert in such things AND he raised Hope from birth.

He also had a personal connection to the Phoenix.

The Avengers' strategy was twofold - taking Hope into protective custody while Iron Man 'worked on a science solution' - and sending their most powerful members to go punch the Phoenix before it got to Earth. Operating off Logan's dubious intel, they packed every Avenger they could find onto a Helicarrier and headed for the mutant island proto nation of Utopia. They also didn't really share that apparently the Phoenix is just a fickle cosmic troll now, allegedly just blowing up planets on a whim. Yes, Dark Phoenix ate a star and genocided a planet, but that was after immense psychological trauma and needless escalation. Even then, it was nearly talked down (by Scott) until Charles Xavier butted in and tried to overpower it. Hopefully he's not arrogant enough to try that again (he is.) Since then, many mutants had hosted the Phoenix and they're all doing fine.

The Avengers had nothing but bad intel, whereas the X-Men had empirical evidence and decades of experience dealing with the Phoenix.

We need to take Hope

Member of the Illuminati's finest diplomacy

Neither man does a great job communicating here, but the onus is on Cap to explain why he's coming to take your granddaughter based on advice from the Stabbing Guy. He presents no plan (they don't have one) and ignores the suggestion that his expert is not an expert. Scott and co were preparing for what has historically been an internal mutant matter when an army arrives on their doorstep telling them how it's going to be. After a failure to reach any sort of middle ground (not that Cap was offering any) Scott responded to Cap's refusal to leave by blasting him non-lethally.

I wasn't asking

All other X-Men are being oddly timid here. Nice title drop, Spider-Man.

'Wants us to look like bullies' says Tony AKA the military industrial complex and founder of the Illuminati. The Avengers get their mandate from the United States and answer to the President and SHIELD, but generally act as they please. Their sense of righteousness is a constant throughout this event and they absolutely act like bullies from start to finish.

Magneto launched Colossus at the Helicarrier (that thing launching at least 12 jets with ~30 powerful superhumans on it) to deny them a force multiplier and press their initiative, though once all Avengers deployed the best they could do was hold the line while Hope was kept safe. The Avengers wanted Hope and the X-Men were determined to protect her.

Remember, dipshit? Stabbing the Phoenix isn't effective. You should know this.

Showing he'd learnt nothing from Jean Grey, any other Phoenix experiences, House of M, decades of knowing Rachel Summers, etc - and in a stunning act of hypocrisy - Logan snuck away from the fight to kill Hope. She manifested Phoenix powers (way before it reached Earth) and burnt him to a crisp. Spooked by the situation and guilty people were fighting over her, Hope fled and successfully sent everyone on a wild goose chase trying to find her.

While both teams were scrambling and pummeling each other, Hope found Logan and proposed a bipartisan plan - they'd travel to the moon and Hope would accept the Phoenix. If she could handle it, great. If not, she'd willingly let Logan kill her. The agreement was to keep the others out of it - she wanted agency over her life and didn't want brawling superhumans ruining her zen. Logan betrayed her and told the Avengers, of course.

Iron Man's genius science solution

The X-Men and Avengers arrived and really ruined the mood. Logan was straight up trying to kill Scott. Just as Hope was about to host the Phoenix, Tony fucking Stark displayed the Avengers' complete lack of Phoenix experience and his own personal arrogance by activating that Transformers-looking thing up there. Everyone held their breath while he shot it with a big gun and something unexpected happened.

Out of Hope

Unsurprisingly this unexpected happening was an utter disaster, splitting the Phoenix into five pieces that ended up in Piotr, Emma Frost, Namor, Ilyana, Scott (or P.E.N.I.S if you're puerile like me.) The Phoenix Five were born against their consent and now The Avengers had 5 problems to deal with instead of one. In terms of culpability it's important to recognise that none of the P5 planned for this or wanted it - The Avengers and especially Tony bullied their way into this situation. Unfortunately, The Phoenix is kinda like the mafia - once you're in you can't leave, so the P5 are stuck with the results of the Avengers' non-plan. In fact, everyone is stuck with the fruit of their arrogance and The Avengers especially do not like the bitter taste. As they're still making demands of them, the X-Men regroup to process what happened. They eventually reach consensus on how to proceed, and the Avengers antagonise them every step of the way. They're convinced that this means the Earth is doomed, and blame the P5 and especially Scott for being there when Tony tried to kill a cosmic fundamental force of creation.

Sure, they're talking like lunatics, kinda. Maybe like people unexpectedly possessed by a godlike being? Completely ignoring who caused this and forgetting how possession works, Cap doubles down on 'we're right and you're wrong.' The P5 are villains now, you can tell because they want to take Hope to help her 🙄.

In part 2, The Phoenix Five explore benevolent uses of cosmic power and the Avengers keep acting like paranoid control freaks. The whole world has to decide how they feel about that, and opinions are mixed.
