    Clearly, Hickman messed with Moira: first, by making her a mutant, then, by making her a soulless creature…

    Better staying dead than that…

    Kinda sorta decent, more in control of her maniac side but not a better person necessarily.



    God I loved that issue.

    The problem that i see is that people want Moria and Destiny not to be in the wrong, but if the two want the same, if they are in the same team, What is the conflict ??

    Just Moira being angry about life 3 ??

    They have to have a divergence at some point, they dont want the same.

    Yeah, I think a lot of people interpreted what Betsy did as something similar to Inversion, and it wasn't. She did away with Mystique's mind and personality changing when she shape-shifted, if I remember correctly. It was supposed to help her be more consistent.

    Correcto. The problem was that Raven's psyche kept getting splintered or something every time she shifted.

    Considering she likely has shifted may times since then, she could also be back to square one.

    That whole run was heroic hate sex waiting to happen. Betsy/Raven, Erik/Betsy, Monet/Creed, Betsy/Creed. Sexiest run ever.

    Greg Land probably had the references ready for that. But alas.

    Nothing wrong. Glory to Krakoa. Read the book please.
    I have read it and apocalypse sent Krakoa flowers to mess with Morgan’s magic and start a fight and tried to put a gate to Krakoa in her living room. He did use ‘tactics’ to make Jamie king and get Excalibur to help him, but a lot of it depended on people acting stupid.

    I do think we have to assume that some of the conflict between the two is based on fear, yes. Destiny is afraid of what Moira will do and Moira is afraid of Destiny for killing her and because she could easily figure out her plan.

    Now, where is the divergence? Destiny may not believe in the Instrumenality plan or she may be annoyed and mad that she can't be a part of it.

    Or it could be that Moira's plan is just bad. She doesn't believe that Krakoa will work, she truly believes that they're all fucked anyways, she doesn't want to die, and that creates a terribly desperate Moira who is a lot more unhinged than we think.

    What does this mean? This means that Moira's plan is very likely just as destructive as anything Destiny and Mystique could come up with.

    She'll be back now that she's free of the burden of being the hot ninja girl. Expect all that faux eastern philosophy and martial arts rigamaroo to melt away like butter in a skillet. She's flying around wearing the queen's flag!
