Good to know they will address this!

I think a depowered mutant can only be getting his/her powers back if they die first and then they can resurrect them with the mutant DNA that they have in store. That seems to b most logic.

The last time Wanda tried to repower mutants the X-Men attacked her and Wolverine stabbed her son.

Well, we won't invite Wolverine.

It would be a riot for the Krakoan mutant-re-empowerment squad to catch up to Sofia, to find her floating on a wind current. "Oh hey, thanks for thinking of me, but Wanda already got to me. She said to keep it on the down-low, because some idiots are trying to stop her from re-empowering mutants, but whatev. Too late, bitches, I'm back!"

Random other thought. Dr. Kavita Roa can make a drug that can de-power a mutant. Forge can close his eyes and free-sketch a schematic for a gun that strips a mutant of their powers. Why not do the opposite? Either of them (but especially Forge!) should be able to crap out a mutant-un-cure, that turns a depowered ex-mutant back into a fully-functioning freak of nature. Dr. Rao's 'mutant un-cure' would probably come in a boring old syringe, but Forge's option is likely to be a sexy gun that he can zap people from thirty feet away with. Zark! "Fly, be free! Or, yanno. Teleport, or whatever it is you do..."

Wanda after avx stated she didnt understand why new mutants need to be born, in uncanny avengers, I highly doubt her medicated ass would do that.
Especialy since her reaction when any mutant has justified anger towards her is stuck up her nose and bring up her avenger status, i really dont want that mess of a characther involved in a new and great period for mutants.
Let the retcon stick.

Do you guys think Wanda's spell affected DNA samples too? If it erased the X-Genes from Sinisters database it might be tricky to repower them.

I'm pretty sure it was a major plot point back during Endangered Species that even Mr. Sinister's DNA databank was affected by M-Day. You couldn't just reclone more mutants from old samples.

Curious that Moira implicitly had lived through a decimation before, presumably at the hand of Wanda, yet let Erik believe that she was his contribution to Operation: let’s all have reality warping children and leave them thoroughly messed up

Resurrect Genus https://marvel.fandom.com/wiki/Tim_Rhodes_(Earth-616) and with his abilities he can easily repower all the depowered mutants.

wasnt wana's hysterical breakdown extended trough multiple realities?

Yeah, I asked because I kind of remembered this but it was long ago. So The Five might not be a good solution to the problem, unless they're able to jumpstart the mutant DNA again (Elixir with Hope's help might be able to do it).

Oh, who knows. It's a retcon that's been retconned and interpreted differently so much that it's probably simpler to throw your hands up at this point. Her power was originally retroactive, since at least the eighties and West Coast Avengers, and if she made a steel beam collapse because it was flawed, later records would show that it was *always* flawed, even if the tester (Stark or Pym? don't recall) clearly remembered that it hadn't been when he started the test. Under that, if she de-powered a flying mutant or aquatic mutant, they would *always* have been not-mutants, and absolutely had zero reason to be a mile up in the air to fall to their death, or sleeping at the bottom of a swimming pool to wake up drowning. But writers wanted people to die from not being mutants anymore, even if it made zero sense.

And her 'breakdown' itself made little sense, since it was something *that she already knew, for years* that made her suddenly break down. But what Bendis wants, Bendis gets, I guess. The High Evolutionary had already tried something like this before, had the tech to do it on a global scale, and has actually tried to do it *again* since then (in the last New Warriors relaunch, with the unwitting help of the Eternals).

As far as I understand, that was very quietly dropped rather quickly with a handwave that the CBC managed to isolated and quarantine the realties bordering 616

[Ferro]

the scarlet sore takes the prize for the most confusing and complicated characther in fiction, its not even a satisfying complicated that it eventually makes sense and its actually pretty cool, its just a mess

[Tycon]

And even if it was multiverse in scale, Time Runs Out wiped out everything in existence and reality was eventually remade by Franklin Richards, a mutant.

I don't understand why her power is shown as cubes. cubes are on of the least chaotic shapes out there

[Ferro]

cause she's crazier than an cube shaped football, and probably because that imagery from covers and insides just sticked
