Will we ever see Darkveil again ?

[Stormultt Divine]

...Do you want to see her again?

[Tycon]

Unless Krakoa has ball culture, I can’t see Darkveil giving up that scene. But I would love to see a writer delve into that intersection since barely anyone gets into what it means to be black and a mutant, black&gay and a mutant, etc etc.

Isn't Darkveil an entertainer, it's not like they won't want people to perform music, theatre, performance shows, etc...

I think there is a place for her on Krakoa, she brings a cultural perspective, and in a way she gets to be one of the architects of the new Krakoan culture.

I want Shade (sorry Darkveil just hasn't stuck as a name) to have a feud with Krystal M'kraan

[RachelGrey]

OMG, what a perfect name Krystal M'kraan and she is even dressed in a faux Phoenix outfit, that is too perfect! I hope Shade and Krystal both show up as entertainers in Krakoa. I agree they should have a rivalry too!

I was thinking while reading the whole HoX human/mutant racism discussion if there's racism within the mutant community. Like are black or gay mutants treated the same as white straight mutants. There could also be more layers to it, like telepaths discriminating non-telepathic mutants and such.

We need an everyday Krakoan life book.

She’s an entertainer, but the drag scene holds much more sentiment than just providing fun and fashion for the casual viewer. But it would be cool for Darnell to be the first one to bring that culture to Krakoa. Also, can we Darkveil just be trans? Drag queens are great rep for the community, but there are really 0 trans mutants. Prominent ones, at least, if there’s some uber-obscure one that I’m missing.

Now more than ever, we need an anthology book of everyday Krakoan life through the lens of fan fav mutants (or even a little story of the new mutants that Hickman introduces in HOX1). But race is almost never something that is capitalized on which leads to tonedeaf scenes like this where this interaction happens right in front of Dani.....a Cheyenne woman....

While I don't care at ALL for Sina Grace, I agree a trans Darkveil would have been better, a trans character with less tropes and stereotypes.
I'd love to see a character like me in the x-books, not at all under Sina Grace though but I'm sure some writer, maybe even Hickman can breathe life into Darkveil.

A new outfit with less pockets too please

I want Shade and Dazzler to have a concert on Krakoa

So instead of peace amongst mutants in an environment strictly for mutants you want them to adopt the same bigoted behavior that they sought to escape? Makes sense I guess...

Questioning if there’s racism is not the same as romanticizing it. It’s an intersection that needs to be explored.

[WhitePhoenix]

Oh wow, I already done forgot about her until I saw your post.

Emma has implied that Xavier thought psionics were a cut above the rest, although I suspect that may have been her projecting as she has given preference to the psychics among her own students (first Empath, then Hellion).

Until the Beast transformed, and Nightcrawler joined, the X-Men were fairly traditionally a 'pretty mutants' club that showed a preference for those whose mutations left them physically able to still work as underwear models. Now, there's all sorts of less-pretty mutants like Glob and Rockslide and Anole and No-Girl, but even then, they tend to not get invited to the big teams like X-23 and Trinary and Cable. For the longest time, human-looking mutants got to live in the mansion, fugly ones ended up living in the sewers...

There was mutant supremacy in the last Iceman solo, they were targeting all the mutants that didn't look human.
