Polyamory & the X-Men: A Poll

[Veitha]

I think that the Charles and Mystique thing got erased by Eva Bell (another reason to stan). But I could be wrong, but I don't care enough to check.

This PoC thing… it’s a matter of apparence, not nationality.

They have actually been emphasizing Apocalypse’s North African appearance lately, as well as Rogue’s.

I’m black. My family’s black.

But you’re saying my albino cousin doesn’t count?

WTH!

No its ethnicity and Apocalypse qualifies

On one hand, I don't think that polyamory is really Logan, Jean or Scott's style (though Emma would certainly be up for it)... But on the other hand, it'd also be pretty hot, so if Marvel were to confirm that the four of them are screwing, I'd be okay with it.

They got rid of the doors to their bedrooms, because no matter what, *somebody's* gonna wake up with Rahne snuggled up at the foot of their bed. But it's not a sex thing.

(Usually Dani. Never Ilyanna (who usually sleeps in Limbo anyway). Or Doug, oddly. There might be some residual guilt there...)

Hehehehehe

Emma throwing looks at Scott old-school,Logan smooching with Jean old-school, Logan in bed with Emma and Jean on panel that would be new-school!

I don’t think many Egyptians look like Apocalypse…

Current Egyptians are largely descendants of Arab invaders in the 8 century. I do think ancient Egyptians had features that were more unique, perhaps a mix of Ethiopian and Nubian

[Rev9]

Can you imagine Charles and Erik bragging.

Charles: I got Raven!
Erik: Well, I got her daughter Rogue!


*high fives*

Mystique : Damn it Erik, I wanted to give Gambit the surprise!

So, basically your saying Hank, Kurt, and Raven are PoC even without the benefit of their mutation(s), huh?

Hank's definitely white, but Mystique could be anything. We have no idea where she's really from, when she was born, or if Raven Darkholme is even her original name. That means Kurt's tricky because while he was born in Germany, we don't know what he is race is because of the Mystique mystery and the lack of background on Azazel, who's probably originally from somewhere in Southwest Asia? Mesopotamia? People just assume all of them are white, but who knows?

Apocalypse x Frenzy x Rictor

spicy . love it

Charles and Erik I suppose are keeping each other warm on those chilly Krakoan nights by sharing a bed.

you better say it !!

[Micabe]

Umm?!? You've lost me... Say what?

I always had this strange feeling for years that Raven was Roma/Romani. So Kurt is part whatever Azazel is (probably Persian or Arab) and part gypsy

Well, as the term “people of color” has been used, at the beginning, by the ‘whites’ to qualify those who are not ‘white’, it seems to me that it is an appellation that is in the eye of the beholder.

On topic, I think this polyamory thing is a red herring that adds nothing substantially to the story: this run is not about relationships and soap drama. It’s just food for thought. A spicy ingredient.
