X-Men Monday #86

This is true, before Hickman mentioning Franklin nobody cared about Franklin being a x-men. Seem territorialism to get a chaarcter from another franchise

See, words have meanings, and territorialism isn't something you can just say "No u" to the other side when accused of. If Hickman had snatched Franklin away from his main book/franchise, that would be territorialism. He didn't. Franklin was still a part of F4 while being a mutant. Like he always had.

I believe there was an annual somewhere in there as well...#14, I think.
But yes...He's never been an important, often-used character in the X-mythos. Slott can have him, we don't need him...we don't want him.

The Pretender!

Seriously though, it's not that big a deal. We got that silly crossover mini out of it, and Krakoa has omega reality warpers coming out of its arsehole anyway. Everyone knows Molecule Man is the real Mack Daddy of overpowered reality juicers, and his best story ever was just him living in an apartment with his supervillain girlfriend.

Yup, incorrect usage of territorialism.

The only true part is that nobody cares about him as a character prior to Hickman, but he has always been established as a mutant and has occasionally been utilized in X-men stories.


When Hickman used Sunspot/Cannonball on his Avengers team, did any of the X-men writers suddenly decide to kill Sunspot or Cannonball so Hickman couldn't use them? No. Since Marvel is a shared universe it is fine that he uses them. Hickman's choice didn't prevent X-books from utilizing them, and Xbook writers didn't prevent Hickman from utilizing them. That is not the case here with Slott, who is the one showing territorialism.
