Vance Astrovik (Justice/ Marvel Boy) Appreciation 2020

Where is Vance, and how come he’s not on Krakoa since he’s a Mutant ??

Where is it mentioned he's a mutant? It will be great if he can join X-Men.

Well...Fabian Nicieza's original New Warrior's run from the early and mid-1990s and then Kurt Busiek's Avengers run from the late 1990s are 2 sources I know of.

Vance has always been a mutant, starting with his alternate timeline version Major Victory (Vance Astro) from the original Guardians of the Galaxy. He premiered in Thing's solo back in the early 80's. Even though he is a mutant, he idolized the Avengers, even tried to walk up to the door to join, but Cap shot him down, saying he was too young and inexperienced.
As far as I know, he never spoke on his view about the X-Men, but he was defiantly proud of how he was. In reality he just never crossed paths with the X-Men and only dealt with X-Force, who were more extreme then the New Warriors.
I doubt he would ever join Krakoa. We might have gotten his views in the newest New Warriors, but I don't know the status on that series since the COVID19. Firestar is a mentor there and we see Vance do a fly-by, but that's it.

He's definitely a mutant, but one of the few with no connection to the X Men other than his X gene and his ex girlfriend Firestar. He's a New Warror and Avenger and has never shown any interest in joining their ranks.

Vance was a member of the Hellfire Club. That entitles him to be an x-character.

[ARkadelphia]

Vance has his own mind. He doesn’t feel that he has to move to Krakoa just because all the kewl mutants are doing so.

He's always had more ties with the avengers and FF. Would be interesting to see him in the X-Men but there's already a million tk users on the island.
