Is Cassandra Nova the last big villain they haven’t addressed yet?

[Will Evans]

During the Krakoa age, I mean.


Every other previous major mutant villain is either ongoing (Shadow King) or dealt with (Madelyn Pryor).


Especially since she caused The Genoshan massacre.

[Journey]

I mean technically yes like I don't know what she got going on for some reason I thought she was dead. I don't think she's been sought out or anything like that.

[Grinning Soul]

Marvel seems to have ignored X-Men: Red, but Cassandra was supposed to have been reformed, at least, until someone removes the nanite sentinel that was re-programmed so Cassandra would experience empathy.

I am bit unclear as to what qualifies, but...

So much was ignored to kick off HoX, a villain only being kept in check because of tiny robots is pretty low on the "but last time we saw them..." shockers. In fact, she is kept in check by tiny robots. Robots.

Going from adressing the UN, with heroes both mutants and humans behind her:

- Jean: I'd like to show you. A world where no one is left behind. Where no one is shunned. Where no one is less than. No humans and mutants. No us and them. Just "us".

To Krakoa...

I'd say a lot was ignored indeed. Or, at least, not shown to us.

I think the nanite sentinel wasn't the problem, though. The problem was not keeping an eye on Cassandra, knowing how dangerous she can be. Jean showed Cassandra her plan and invited her to be part of it. But no writer decided to try to continue with it. I guess they prefer to keep her as a potential villain.

So yeah, as soon as some writer decides to bring her back in that role, she'll be back.

I don't have anything against Jean, but I hope the ignore as much as possible of X-Men Red with regards to Cassandra Nova. Especially the part of mass manufacturing antitelepathy Magneto helmets.

You shouldn't touch a character like Cassandra Nova unless you have a great story for it, and you want to connect all the dots of her history and continuity. Rosenberg didn't have that.


pic attached, Morrison making it explicit that Ernst is the Cassandra Nova of the future, in the synthetic body of the shi ar alien she was trapped in (not in her original body)cassandra13.jpg

I thought she was gonna be involved in way of x but I guess not.

Sought out to be killed?

[Journey]

Sought out to be killed?

What else would you do with her?

[CoCoBandz]

What else would you do with her?

16million years of torture.

[Havok83]

Nova got a mention in Rosenberg's run. She was on the list of issues that Cyclops wanted his team of X-men to deal with. We saw him deal with various loose ends issue by issue but the other X-men returned from AOX and we got the 5 month gap before he got to Nova. She presumably is still out there somewhere

[Journey]

16million years of torture.

Deaths more final. Torture is barbaric.

[Alan2099]

What else would you do with her?

Stick her in a box marked "never ever mention this character again" and seal it away in the basement Cask of Amontillado style.

And while you're at it, toss in Romulus and Azazel to keep her company.

[Project Initiative Cascada]

Ideally I can see Cassandra join Mystique and Destiny in burning down the island, but weirdly with the status quo I’d like to see a change of pace and her and Charles form a family dynamic relationship. She becomes that sister-figure he never had and maybe even helps take part in his role during the redirection protocols.

[Devaishwarya]

I think she may not factor very much, now, seeing as how when last we saw her she had a major attitude readjustment thanks to Jean and Trinary. Of which HiX-Man and Co. should be quite aware.
