That works for me. I don't think that Marvel writers have gone far enough to establish that Valkyries are goddesses by definition, and that Dani is a goddess, too.
In a perfect world, Dani would keep her true Valkyrie powers and Asgardian physical attributes and regain her mutant abilities as well. I'd tweak it slightly, though, that she'd be able to use fear and death to further increase her physical abilities, reaction times, healing ability and psionic powers. The last place that you'd want to fight Dani is on a battlefield, with scores of people dying all around her and everyone deathly afraid. I suppose a hospital would be the other place where you wouldn't want to face Dani. She could foment fear by tapping other's worst fears, but she could also allay it by absorbing the psychic energy into herself. She'd be a great help to friends and allies as her powers would allow them to operate calmly and with clarity in a crisis situation. The danger, of course, is that Dani could become addicted to the intense, rapture-like depersonalization euphoria that occurs whenever she is overwhelmed by fear and death.

So with Dani's absence from Prisoner X's connecting cover:
... evidence grows there's some sort of mysterious masquerade @ hand.
Forge is there, tho, and she was still shown on #2:
... so the plot continues to thicken, 'cause ya know... inhibitor collars.
I don't think that would happen. Dani feels what her targets feels and the death sense has been shown to give her anxiety attacks. She's more likely to get addicted to using her powers to show people their greatest desires. Either direction would be an interesting place to take her story, though.
There is a part of Dani that wants to feed off the death of others.
That was actually feeding off death because of Selene's magic, though. Nothing to do with how her Valkyrie abilities work, as far as we know.
Admittedly, I've always wondered if there was supposed to be some connection. Maybe that scene is why Dani could become a Valkyrie or something.
Dani does seem to have an affinity for death magic, but the only time she's ever cast a spell was in X-Men the End when she combined Cheyenne and Norse magic while dying to become a full Valkyrie.
That was a good scene. And the second alt reality where Dani became a true goddess.
With the two separate connections to death magic, and the dropped Demon Bear plotline (there were hints that the bear wasn't a random occurrence), I can't help feeling Claremont had a plan for her we never found out about.
Wild speculation here, and it would probably be bad news for Dani and her fans, but maybe she was going to be an avatar of Death. Kind of like the Phoenix hosts. It doesn't tie into her powers very well, though...
Was unaware of this, but thought it was pretty interesting:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apocalypse:_The_Twelve
... not surprised tho, in the least. More of a confirmation than anything IMO, of her potential, and Mutant powers in general.... Master Mold... revealed the nature of the Twelve: "The dozen mutant humans who will one day rise up and lead all of mutantkind in war against Homo sapiens in the twilight of Earth." He was stopped, but not before revealing several other possible candidates, including Danielle Moonstar, Cannonball and Psylocke. ...
IIRC, when they actually did the Twelve story, Dani was nowhere to be found.
