Unfortunately, his thinking was way too far ahead.

But, X office needed their back up dancer and just couldn't handle it. and weirdly, a large chunk of the fan base is cool with her being int he background of a X book.
Oh well, BP became a goldmine by himself while the other is still in the background. When freaking Sam, Rhodey, Okoye, Shuri, Valkryie, Ironheart, and Blade are about to be more of a household name... someone F'd up back then. Really really really really hard. Maybe trusting the president of BET would have been a good idea...
Luckily for Storm, there are ZERO black X woman worth a crap, so she is guarantee to still show up whenever MCU gets around to mutants
(until they race bend Rogue..... lol)
