Right, which is why I think Bonney's chances are kinda low.
Wano is still hot and in the collective fandom mind. And the Onigashima raid has introduced so many new potential characters. Yamato, King, Queen, Jack, the Tobi Roppo, the scabbards, and even Apoo has enough for a useable moveset now.
first i've heard of it.
if they just made her a straight up mutant, that...........might have been decent. but a inhuman/mutant hybrid? nope. and its not like charles or anyone is in any position to give even halfway decent answers since krakoa has fallen and 98% of its inhabitants are dead.........or worse.
Quicksilver also had a whole plotline post House of M where he stole the terrigen mists and was using it to reactivate mutant powers. The powers it gave were inconsistent but it also wasn't intrinsically fatal to mutants either. If anything it made them too powerful.
I was also today years old when I found out that Pietro was retconned to be a "mutate" made by the High Evolutionary rather than an actual mutant. No idea if that's still canon.

Why are we here?
"Superboy Prime (the yelling guy if he needs clarification)..." - Postmania
"...dropping an orca whale made of fire on your enemies is a pretty strong opening move." - Nik
"Why throw punches when you can be making everyone around you sterile mutant corpses?" - Pendaran, regarding Dr. Fate
Quite honestly a great tale of how a pretty meh mech slowly became a true force to be feared.

I fell into a small rabbit hole off the back of looking into the whole Quicksilver/Terrigen Mists thing.
Basically my brain went;
- Hmmm, so the twins aren't mutants. I wonder if that applies to Wanda given how her powers and backstory have been so varied in her career what with House of M etc.
*Looks it up*
- Okay, she also is a mutate but with more magic on top. Hmm, I'll read the comic in question when this was revealed.
*Reads comic, researches more*
- Wait, so if Magneto isn't their dad any more and the person they thought was their actual bio-dad is actually their uncle... who is Wanda and Pietro's actual bio dad?
*Further comic reading, looking at Wiki entries*
- The 2016 Scarlet Witch series run ends with "Your father killed your mother," and then Wanda goes to join the Avengers again but, as far as I can tell, this cliffhanger has never since been resolved. So the twins have... no dad... at present?
Long form comics are kind of wild insofar as how much stuff can fluid and changeable. I don't know how regular readers handle it.
Man, almost 20 years later, and this scene still strikes a cord in me in how relatable it is.
Ichigo: What even *are* you?!
Kenpachi: Some say my mother was a train. Some say that I'm a rejected Godzilla monster too strong for the series canon. But everyone says: I'M THE KEEEEENPACHIIIIII!!!!
I mean, we all know it’s really Magneto.
But I’d accept Chthon as being their dad, just for shits and giggles. Or Wyndham.
Or even Doom. He always had a gypsy thing.
Or a combination of all four, somehow.
Marvel used to be so much better at it (except for Beyonder, whose continuity is weird as fuck), but that all changed when editorial policy, driven by the aforementioned Brian Michael Bendis, proudly and openly became “Fuck what’s gone before your run. Just write the stories you want to.”
A lot of people applauded that approach. I hated it.
(DC have always been a bit… bleh… about continuity. Just reboot the entire universe again and it’ll be fine.)

Looks good, as expected. But... are they fridging Sypha? It's not clear at all, I just got the impression that they're fridging Sypha.
Again, agreed.
More agreement.But I’d accept Chthon as being their dad, just for shits and giggles. Or Wyndham.

Agreed, but it required a little Fixed It For You™.(except for Beyonder, who is weird and dumb as fuck)
...yet again, agreed..., but that all changed when editorial policy, driven by the aforementioned Brian Michael Bendis, proudly and openly became “Fuck what’s gone before your run. Just write the stories you want to.”
A lot of people applauded that approach. I hated it.
Aaaaaand for a finale, agreed.(DC have always been a bit… bleh… about continuity. Just reboot the entire universe again and it’ll be fine.)
Agreeing with you a lot, lately (not that I didn't before, but).
