X-men unlimited 40. Ending of kaiju eany, laura is depressed

That would have been way beyond her communication skills at the time.

Frankly, I think it's way beyond her emotional and communication skills at the current point in the timeline to be that self-aware and expressive, too. But I didn't mean to say she had to give a long soliloquy to show her human side. (That she had a human side?) I just wanted the character to be true to the relationships and emotions that were established over her entire run to that point.

I'm actually giving Laura more credit than the writing that I think failed her. She can be stoic and the silent type with difficulty understanding and communicating her feelings (which she certainly is) without being an uncaring a$$hole who shits on the people she was just using and tricked into thinking they meant something to her. To me, writing her as a person who treats people like that (without acknowledging she is wrong and atoning) is a disservice to an otherwise compelling character.

EDIT: And it seems like she might have eventually acknowledged and atoned, because they show her in later panels fighting besides Hellion and he is both at her mom's funeral and her lost love in Old Woman Laura. But there is no explanation in the panels for their reconciliation.

The frustrating thing about Julian being at Sarah's funeral is that Taylor acknowledged that the Laura/Hellion frielationship was significant for a sizable chunk of her fanbase, but he said he didn't want to just have Julian show up if he couldn't do anything meaningful with it....And then the two times he shows up is in a single panel without dialog, and then a single flashback panel in an AU future where he's dead.

It is very frustrating (and quite confusing) as a reader. But I found it very in-character for Hellion to show up to be there for Laura at her lowest point, even after how she treated him. The defining characteristic of Hellion is that no matter how much anyone sh!ts on him, he always answers the call when they're in need. I just wonder who invited him? lol

I have no idea why all the writers at Marvel have no use for this guy who has been through so much and is still fighting the good fight. Since they're obviously never going to give him a real role on a team, I would love to see him turn into a Manchester Black type psionic anti-hero that Laura has to battle and eventually redeem. (Which I thought was going to be his storyline after Utopia.)

I haven't read all of X-23s stuff. Who has she been romantic with besides (quasi) Hellion, Angel, and now Synch?

Who is the blond mutant? I first thought Magma, then I saw the tubes on the back, thought Pyro, but he looks different. Then I thought Cypher, but he does not have those powers. I am lost.

Wasn't that the story that officialy introduced her in 616, after NYX was more of a "maybe, maybe not" in continuity situation?

Or do you consider her official introduction to 616, to be her minis followed by her post Decimination New X-men role?

I view canon as “whatever writers will acknowledge,” especially since the universe technically reset post-Secret Wars. NYX has been acknowledged less than a handful of times, none since Secret Wars. I think Laura’s X-Men appearances before Decimation have received maybe one throwaway line in the Academy X run. If no one acknowledges it, did it really happen?
