The Ghazikhanian Family

[danielsan52]

Anyone remember that mess?

Havok left Lorna at the altar for Annie.

Lorna went nuts.

Carter got weird.

And then they just ....left. Never to be seen again.

Who was the shadow person with Carter? Who was his father (Purple Man?!)

[Hi-Fi]

Annie returned in Liu's Astonishing X-Men.

[Anduinel]

Carter's father was supposed to be Magneto, iirc, but editorial nixxed that one.

[Tycon]

Carter's father was supposed to be Magneto, iirc, but editorial nixxed that one.

What the hell?

What the hell?

There was a lot of wtf around that run, and Austen's push to make as many established characters as possible either abusers or abuse victims (to say nothing of his OCs) was definitely one aspect of it. Only worked with Cain, and that was already part of his backstory.

Want that mysterious telepath Elias Bogan?

[U.N. Owen]

Austen's run is where everyone is a moron, an abuser, or a moronic abuser.

Carter Ghazikhanian was just a poor man's Franklin Richards. Except Franklin had multiple interesting stories surrounding him in the Power Pack comics.

Want that mysterious telepath Elias Bogan?

Tbh, I’m shocked Bogan was never again used by another writer after the conclusion of Claremont’s X-Treme run. He had MAJOR potential imo to become a bonafide X-Men Big Bad.

Anyone remember that mess?

Most of us have tried to forget it.
