Shard: Her DNA

[Maniacal]

With the amount of times Bishop and Cable have jumped around the future. They can’t revisit a time when Shard existed, get her DNA... and BAM we can regrow a new Shard in present day?

This seems too simple For it to be an issue.

Would love it! Shard always had star potential imo

[Drexelhand]

Forge probably has a backup of her mind up until when Fitzroy took her into the X-Faces Future. So, it's probably a lot simpler than that. But, that future doesn't exist anymore given that Layla Miller doesn't know what's coming anymore.

Who

cc: rhethoric question as no one actually cares to know of that character.

Obviously as people ate commenting on the possibility of bringing the character back, there are people who care to know of her and see more with her. So please refrain from devaluing the wishes of others simply because you have no concern.

Thank you for making the words that were about to come out of my mouth. I am a person who does care about Shard. She was a part of my favorite rendition of X-Factor and hell yes I want that pony braid back.

I've been wanting her return for YEARS! Hopefully eventually she'll be back

There's plenty of ways for Shard to plausibly return; we just need a writer who has a fondness and/or sees a use for her in a story. But so far during this era, we can barely get panel time for Bishop, and he's supposed to be one of the Captains. But despite having a presence in Marauders, he's the only Captain that haven't seen interacting with the others -- and he's the only one that Hickman hasn't really done anything with, and that's a shame because Bishop is still full of potential I think.

Shard, obviously, is a part of that -- and has her own potential as well.

-Pav, who likes to see good D-Listers used well...

It would be much simpler to pluck her from the future and bring her to present day

[baxer]

Why not do a mission to find her on the timestream. It would be really fun story

Because Bishop's timeline no longer exists. It stopped existing when Layla Miller stopped knowing things because they diverged too far from it.

This is possible, this or she comes back from a Forge backup.

It's comics, it doesn't matter. When the AOA was wiped out, before it was retconned, we had 4 AOA characters running around in the 616.e

Constraints on writing force you to look for more creative solutions and thus better writing. It's how we got Morbius. A journey of Shard being lost in the timestream outside of timelines rather than an alternate future or Forge being forced to recreate Shard sounds a lot better than going to a dead universe and grabbing Shard. And the AoA situation is just like Bishop's future, all the survivors of that timeline came back from the exact same time but just appeared at different times.

It would give us a chance to visit the era Bishop travelled to in Last X-Man. I've been dying to see Nom and the Kith for years.

-Pav, who would also like to see Michael...

then this thread makes no sense, if the point is to go to the future to get her DNA to clone her
