Hellions #4 Spoiler/Review - The Tragic Case of Madelyne Pryor

Of course yes. But when you plan to unleash an army of demon-possessed clones into a nation, it's hard for that nation to be merciful to you.

yeah had Maddie not died, she may have joined Sabretooth in the pits

This. So very muchly.

I don’t think they’d have gone that far at least not initially. The pit seems to be reserved for those who break the most severe of Krakoan laws such as killing of a human (why Selene still walks free despite what she’s been doing in Captain America is anyone’s guess). She would most likely be imprisoned while they figure out how they can rehabilitate her for Krakoan society first before they went as far as their “death sentence”.

Waging a demonic invasion intended to slaughter all citizens and dismantle Krakoa as a country seems like a severe offense

FYI, from what Ive read, Captain America takes place before HOX

[Thundershot]

So much for Stryfe coming back...


Excellent issue... I feel bad for Maddie....

Or Omena Red. Although i'm pretty sure he's heading to the pit soon.

Anyway, another great issue. This book is so much fun! Who knew it'd be like this when the lineup was announced? A must buy for me

[rhaenylis]

I really hope Maddie comes back somehow, because her treatment by the X-Office since the very moment of her creation has been awful, and she deserves a lot better than being killed by a single bullet without having been able to take revenge on Sinister, among others, and die in oblivion

In the latest issue of Captain America the heroes capture Selene and Shuri says "there's a council on Krakoa that would like a word"

As the crime was prevented before it could get to that point, I don’t think they would charge it as high in severity. It’s still a crime as the intent was there, however, given her mental state and that they feel they need as many mutants together as possible for the sake of their species, I think they’d at least try to help her before taking it to the next step.

As for Captain America, as of today’s issue, it’s confirmed to take place in the present day as Shuri mentions the council on Krakoa wanting to have a word with her in relation to Selene’s crimes.

I suspected that Kyle would fall for Kawannon. I also suspect that the real reason the council voted "no" on Maddie is because she's "inconvenient"

You know Jean was all like, 'NO way in Hell!' while screaming and pointing at Sinister in the QC meeting!

Selene's crimes could have taken place in the 6 month gap just prior to establishing Krakoa and Xavier calling all mutants.
She was part of the first group that came with o--[A]--o

either that or...

Coates is just writing as if anyone in the X-Office really pays significant attention to what he's doing.

The whole set up for Hellions is these mutants are up for banishment, but it is not like they actually did anything and we have seen plenty of stuff going on that is more condemnable. Whatever happens to Selene, if she is needed down the road, it is not like it will matter where she happens to be. None of this is being done for consistency, any of it is just to have things happen for the sake of the stories.

Most likely the latter since she definitely had a body count this arc alone. Though that kind of thing does kill quite a bit of the cohesiveness of the universe especially when Krakoa is a big thing in the MU. At that point, using X-villains is a bad idea since repercussions will never carry over thus creating plot holes.

It was prevented bc she was killed. We dont know if she would have been successul in her attempt had she lived. That was the logical next step for her as she told Alex that

If Selene doesn’t go into the pit for killing all those people, then the Council is seriously screwed up...

Maddie isn’t as much of a threat as Selene, and yet Maddie can’t come back on a technicality....
