Astra and Magneto

[Michael Watkins]

She was a bit of a bitch to Nightcrawler.

to be fair, he is the spawn of satan. Astra's a pretty high level teleporter. i wonder if she ran afoul of Azazel is the past.

what's weird is that some well connected fan gave her that name. i was originally going to start a thread asking for a guess at Astra's ethnicity. i thought that she might be turkish. the name points to her, at least, being a middle easterner. she could be very interesting if explored. we still don't know what her veiled comment to Nightcrawler was supposed to mean. how would she have seen him as a child?

She speaks German like Nightcrawler… which doesn't say a lot about her nationality.

she speaks a lot of languages. she's one of those intergalactic teleporters like Lila Cheney, apparently. but it was some other fan who gave her the arabic sounding last name. i seriously doubt that she's German. she looked almost asian when Alan Davis was drawing her. but that might have just been the look of her armor.

it's pretty close. Azazel was, literally, mistaken for the devil. he lives in a brimstone dimension and counts among his enemies a clan of angelic mutants. plus Kurt lost his soul at one point.

Kurt didn't just lose his soul. Azazel invaded heaven somehow

because ...wait for it...he's the devil

1. Can you expand on this?
2. "Al-" would hint at Muslim origin, but "Reraph" doesn't have a sound of it. Maybe one of yet another one of these ignorant attempts to try and make it exotic or something.
3. I don't remember the comment to NC, is it from Magneto War?

^hopefully, this shows up for you.

Trivia
According to Stuart Vandal here, the name "Beth Al-Reraph", often used for Astra, is fanon.

i guess that she could be israeli. Sabra's name is Ruth Bat-Seraph. i'm betting that they took their inspiration from her.

Those bangs should be outlawed on Krakoa.

[Mutant God]

Maybe shes from some fictional country like Latveria or Madripoor

Good memories.

could be. but i wouldn't mind seeing the recruitment scene. that's often missing when it comes to villains.
