Honestly, that’s exactly what I thought as soon I saw that pic with Candra. ‘Huh, guess, apocalypse is going to off the other external and take their energy for magic whatever’ lol.

I would be mad if they kill off Candra. She is cool. I hope she will be used with respect.
I never realized there was this overpouring Candra love. I always thought she was one of those underdeveloped generic 90s villain that was lame and never made much of a splash
Same here.
I vaguely remember her fighting Storm for the ruby gem she wears...that's about it.
Lord Ewing *Praise His name! Uplift Him in song!* Your divine works will be remembered and glorified in worship for all eternity. Amen!
Yeah I always thought she was pretty lame too. Like, the only interesting Externals were always Selene and Poccy. And Sam.
I think of Candra as a Gambit villain mostly, but she has had a run-in with Storm.
Candra is defiantly a Gambit villain more than a Storm villain. I wonder will she still look like a child?
As for Gideon, he had so much potential. It's a shame to me, his best feats as a villain was in a non X-title. He was a beast in the New Warriors. But admittedly I have read Cable: the Newer Mutants story line because I didn't like the art, so I don't know how he was handled as a threat there.
I'm talking powerhouse, not well-known. Mystique and Deathbird are far from villain powerhouses.
Candra has immortality and an array of other powers (like telekinesis and power disruption), alchemical knowledge that can bestow immortality on others, and oh yeah, the entire Assassins' and Thieves' Guilds at her beck and call. She's far more powerful than the women you listed.
She looks adult in the preview art if you ask me.
I think she works both as a Gambit AND a Storm villain, or get this, an X-Men villain! She does have important history with Storm, though, nobody can deny that.
I'm excited to see Apocalypse and Candra interact.
But you mentioned Spiral and IMO she is in the same realm as Mystique and Deathbird. I also mentioned Maddie and Nova in my post. Both powerhouses and actual X-men villians. She's never really been much of an X-men villian; more so of a Gambit one as people have stated. That could change but it hasnt really been her thing yet
I think Spiral got nerfed or Mojo took her magical abilities or something
She was very powerful and dangerous before the nerf
