Dani Moonstar: Mirage Appreciation 2019

[Havok83]

Didn't Legion have a crush on her? Has he been running around dressed up as a girl he likes?



That was when she was undercover in the MLF.

No,as she went by that also when she joined X-Force and in Claremont's Revolution run. Im not sure when Mirage was first used again but its incorrect to state she never stopped using it when she did for several years, throughout the entire 90s and at least the early 00s

LOVE that she's officially...

... got her Mutant powers back now, FINALLY! 8D

But why would she still be callin' herself Mirage, this whole time she didn't have them? I mean, it's not like she still possessed the ability to create illusions & such, which the name was derived from.

thats a bow and arrow. Wow, thought she was holding a psi-sword in that one panel

if she can make bows and arrows why not swords? I was having a look at Dani respect thread on reddit and she once made other shapes a knife, a spear....etc but her other powers are more interesting, bonding with animals, realistic quasi-solid illusions, danger sense.

Lol yeah, it reminded me of Kylo Ren's cross guard light saber

Because bows and arrows keeps her a "cowboy and Indians" character that white writers like.

that bow is not very impressive, any non powered medium-tech-equipped hero would be far more formidable than she could ever hope to be, even a gun would be scarier honestly.

She didn't even have her psi-arrows as part of her powerset when M-Day hit

she never lost them until M-Day. She was largely a non-combatant character since she exited X-Force so there wasnt much oppurtunity for her to have used them

I explicitly remember her fighting Blob in Academy X, saying she wished she still had her old quantum powers or even her psi-arrows.

This was like just before the House of M tie ins.

that fight occurred in #15. I just read it and she doesnt say that at all

First panel

[Havok83]

You're right; I stand corrected

[Uncanny X-Man]

I don't see why she would have lost her bow and arrow back then though: they weren't a temporary augmentation of her powers like the quantum ones, they were always explained as a more aggressive use of her own fear-inducing mutant abilities, an evolution but very much her own. Let's all ignore that single reference and be glad Dani is back and kicking ass! (Not that she needed her powers to do that, but still)
