Dani Moonstar: Mirage Appreciation 2018

[BroHomo]

it doesnt help that most at the top that are capable of making change are straight white men that get replaced with straight white men when they leave

It's kinda like the snowball effect

So, Jordan D. White just replied to my question about Dani being ignored.

For those that don't want to click: answering the question would be a spoiler.

Seems something is in the works.

Next week? Damn, I don't think I can get it for at least two weeks. To read spoilers or not, that is the question.

I'm not too worried about her, though.

[Heroine Addict]

I'm still a lil' apprehensive, but after finding out THIS:

Don't worry fam, Dani is CB’s favorite xman.

She is going to feature in coming comics! Yay!

... then looking for confirmation and coming across:

CBR.com, X-POSITION XTRA: C.B. Cebulski... (from 2008)...

... 2) Who’s your favorite X-character?

People always break my balls about it, but Dani Moonstar is my favorite X-character (cue Fraction and Brubaker laughter). ...

... To both: Favorite Marvel character?

Skottie: “Chamber.”

C.B.: “Dani Moonstar.” ...

At the X-Men panel at San Diego Comic-Con today, Marvel Editor-in-Chief C. B. Cebulski stated that Magik and Dani Moonstar are two favorites, and they will be published so long as he’s heading up Marvel comic books. ...

... I'm feelin' pretty good about her future prospects. And like you, what could possibly be derived, from what'll hopefully be her brief fusion with Warlock.

[Nick Miller]

Yes. He was on a recent word balloon podcast, thats where i heard him, so he’s consistent!!!

I wonder how her “possession” here can lead to her repowering?

[Heroine Addict]

From the main preview thread:

I don't think Dani's going to get Warlock's powers. When he leaves her, he's probably going to rewrite her DNA back to how it used to be.

... was suggested, and seems to make solid sense.

[Soulsword323]

That's a great theory! Really hoping that it comes true!

[Paleo_Rage]

I pray Dani is put on a book asap. She needs to be front and center. Also now that Ninja Psylocke is gone.. it was too bad we never had Moonstar vs Psylocke.. I would have enjoyed psi arrows vs psi blades. Both of great hand to hand fighters and have experience various powers transformations. They actually have a lot in common.

Psylocke should still have the psi blades, it wasn't just part of the body, it was mental skill she learned and honed, the focused totality of her powers. Whether she'll retain her physical abilities and martial arts knowledge is yet to be seen, but she could develop them again over time.

Betsy and Dani could have had a team up as Psylocke and Psyche. So many missed opportunities.

It is not that Betsy wont retain her fighting skills, its more because Betsy was not an action junkie initially and a lot of that was attributed to her body swap. I do hope she retains her fighting ability and I am curious if she will just be a telepath or become a telepath/telekinetic.

Found this, and really liked how her body language was rendered in it:

Yeah, I figured this will be a set up for Dani to regain her mutant powers.

[Heroine Addict]

Let's hope so! Less than 48 hrs. now, and we'll know for sure. Arachne's a GENIUS, and if Rosenberg follows suit, he will be 2!!

Fraction’s poor taste rears its ugly head yet again...

Hardly a genius, but thanks.

Heh.

So, according to Rosenberg's twitter feed, an advanced reviewer of NM#6 called him, and I quote "You monster". Slightly worried now. More for Shan than Dani, actually. Tran might get his revenge.
