    Default Sofia Mantega: Wind Dancer Appreciation Thread 2022

    I decided to make a thread for my Venezuelan wind goddess / air bender because I want her to have more of a presence in 2022 and this is a part of how I am going to manifest it

    Ill try to spruce it up once I find out how to make images big.

    WIND DANCER
    Real Name: Sofia Mantega
    Universe/Timeline: Marvel Universe 616
    Status: Active
    Additional Status Info: Krakoa
    Category: Mutant
    Alias: Sofia Barrett, Renascence.
    Nationality: Venezuelan
    First Appearance: New Mutants (2nd series) #1

    Powers & Abilities: Manipulate wind to fly, create high-velocity air currents, razor-sharp winds, induce vertigo in others, and draw sounds to her from far away or create zones of silence

    Affiliation: New Mutants Squad, New Warriors, X-Men Students

    Notes: Sofia became Wind Dancer in New X-Men (2nd series) #2. She lost her powers on M-Day in House of M #8, and later became the tech-based super-heroine Renascence in New Warriors (4th series).

    As Renascence, she wore a powersuit equipped with a skin-tight force field and six retractable octopus arms, each capable of lifting heavy weights and firing electrical discharges, carries pulse pistols, anti-gravity platform disks enabling her to fly.

    Sofia died on Mojoworld prior to X-Factor (4th series) #2-3 and was restored by Krakoan Resurrection Protocols as a living mutant in #5.

    Love this ❤️ Sofía is a personal favorite of mine, her powers are beautiful and I love her for representing all of us South Americans in a way. I always hope to see more of her.
    Happy new year and the best wishes to Sofía in this 2022!

    I was just thinking about scenes I would like some of the Academy X members to have and what I have in mind is already pre set up by Chris Claremont in his X-Men Christmas special. It’s basically a scene of Storm training Wind Dancer (in case there was ever a huge attack by an enemy on Krakoa ) She would want Wind Dancer to create a super hurricane around Krakoa w the island being in the center or I guess the eye of the storm. And this would be just in case Storm is off planet. The scene would end up with Sophia and Ororo basically floating/levitating higher and higher above Krakoa and Wind Dancer creating the winds to sustain protection around Krakoa but it’s too much for her so Storm pushes her but then allows a circuit so that they both can do it and the more Sofia does it the more she will be capable to do it on her own.

    Krakoa Bless Leah Williams for her service to Miss Mantega! I still remember the wave of emotion paired with the audible gasp when the X-Factor crew came to realize Sofia was the mutant they were tracking into Mojoworld. I really didn't foresee it happening nor did I expect the beautiful way her resurrection was handled. Just amazing.

    My "dare to dream" wish is for Sofia to get voted into Duggan's X-Men but if that dream is too big, I just hope her story continues. She had such lovely interactions with Prodigy -- even if largely in data pages. I hope they're friendship thrives beyond the cancellation of X-Factor. MORE WIND DANCER PLEASE!

    Which X-men would you like for her to choose as a mentor?

    I'd go w Jean and Storm.

    I feel like she would be a good combination of both.

    I was crossing my fingers for her to be on the poll, but nothing!

    Someone here mentioned that Storm could mentor her and teach her more wind-based techniques, like taking the air out of someone's lungs and suffocating them.
