Selene Appreciation 2022

[darkalamator]

It seems Selene is going to (finally!!) get some attention this year. Thus it is about time to open her 2022 Appreciation thread.

Well with Magneto leaving there’s another void in the council that has to be filled. Now it’s her time to shine.

My headcannon is that she is the mutant Mitochondrial Eve which make her the ancestor of all modern mutants. There may have been other Eves but only Selenes' line survived to the present day.

I sure hope so! Thanks for starting this thread!

Quite true, lol!

I like this idea!

All HAIL!! My one, true Black Queen!

Really excited to see what her next move is

This theory implies she had children [that she didn't eat and raised to maturity]. Seems sus to me...

[Devaishwarya]

If it was true (as implied...though I don't know of any actual confirmation) that She's Amara's great grand mother many-times-removed then yes...she had children.

That's a story that needs to be told properly. I have a hard time believing she wouldn't kill/eat every lover she took to bed. I have an even harder time believing she would allow a lifeforce to develop inside her for a whole term, let alone raise a child. I do remember that Magma connection, but it's not really jelling with what we've known of Selene otherwise.

You don't need to raise children in order to give birth to them. Also honestly with all her life force powers who's to say she couldn't make life on her own

She is an immortal hedonist, she probably had kids out of boredom and then abandoned the powerless ones, the mutants she ate. This would have led to inactive x-gene carriers entering the gene pool.

Her power is by its nature vampiric. Creating life seems to be the antithesis of her integral quality.

Love her. Want to be her! Want to mother her children.

Magma is canonically her grandfather. Magma’s father is Selene’s son. Selene killed Magma’s mother.
