Some of the covers have been over sexualizing her, but some are just making her look like a normal person dressed in a fashionable but sexy business suit.

I can't stand that cover that makes her look like Eve while the Genoshan children die around her. What a horrible cover. That was the most tragic moment of Emma's life and if they were going to show anything they should have shown her trying to shield the children with her own body but failing because the explosion and fires are too intense. Making her look sexy and eating an apple while a bunch of children die around her is stupid. I remember in New X-Men when Jean and the others found Emma and how devastated she was by what happened and how intensely grief stricken she was when she couldn't save the children in her classroom.

Source for this cover? Dont recall.

I mean, it's a variant cover. It's provocative and well-drawn, it's not meant to be a deep moral statement.

He said he was doing 6 issues

We do know that, at least in Marauders (maybe Fallen Angels too?), they will have to fight Orchis-like enemies and rescue mutants.

Probably busy being an immortal Death God.

Is it me or did PAD leave virtually every character in his book in some insane boondoggle? I usually like his work and I'm all for evolving characters beyond stasis but damn, I have no idea what he did to Darwin and AFAIC 90% of what he did to Rahne was a hack job.

**Harpsikord** · 08-23-2019, 12:04 PM

Monet got out fine, but she was also shackled with Guido drama.

**Triniking1234** · 08-23-2019, 12:05 PM

Nothing's wrong with that. Marvel and DC writers have to learn to adapt and not expect their character(s) to be clean slates.

**powerpax** · 08-23-2019, 12:25 PM

I don't mean complexity. I mind crazy **** that doesn't make sense. Is Guido alive, dead, a demon? I have no idea what happened there. Is Rahne still a homophobic bigot with an antichrist wolf baby or whatever? What the hell is Darwin?

Just blame it on a villain we haven't seen in a while.

Fitzroy made Rahne a homophobe. Pay me, Marvel.

PAD left Guido a Hell God, but he was eventually revived & had some cameos until Rosenberg killed him off again.

Rahne's son is still canon, but he's dead due to Guido murdering him to revive Monet.

Not sure about Darwin, as I don't care enough about him to keep up. Last I remember was him screwing Monet in a one-night stand, and saying he was happy to be there even if she didn't love him or wanna be with him.

At this point...I'm quite happy and willing to follow HiX-man's idea.
If it occurred in the last ten-fifteen years, (right up to and including UXM 2019) I consider it "lost" and best ignored and forgotten.

I'm completely out of the loop here, which cover it's you guys are mentioning?

Wasn't her homophobia attributed to her being raised in a hyper religious environment?

**Havok83** · 08-23-2019, 01:32 PM

Rahne's homophobic? Is that about Rictor. I didnt read X-Factor but if she had negative feelings about him coming out, I think its understandable considering she had a thing for him as a kid which they rekindled as adults. She feeling stupid, betrayed and initially not responding well makes sense. Is it wrong to say her feelings were specific to her own personal situation and not representative of how she feels about gay people as a whole? With that said I could be completely off base and she never resolved that and ended the series hating gay people which I dont think is the case bc she and Karma get along fine
