    The solicits are probably real. But that doesn't matter. All it says is that the White Queen is scheming - boogedy boo! The last twenty-plus years are littered with countless solicits designed to mislead people about "Emma turning bad again" and other similar character teases. How people get amped about solicits in this day and age and extrapolate all sorts of crazy scenarios, especially on plot points like that where it's never true, is beyond me. It's not that serious and never has been.

    Haven't the X-Men held out a hand to countless other villains, like Sabertooth, Juggernaut, and Magneto (again and again)?
    mystique ever was on a oficial team in a position of power?

    I think the same about magneto, sabertooth and juggernaut

    But she did go bad so there's more credence to this. The past 2 years have been about her being untrustworthy and unpredictable as far as the X-books are concerned. Her place with them isnt as firmly planted now as it was a decade ago with those teases you mention

    No she's never held power but she doesnt need it to betray them, which she does all the time.

    This brings another unpopular opinion. Xavier has done worse than Emma ever has. He's more of a villian to the X-men yet continues to hold power, respected and one to follow. Many fans have double standards when it comes to him simply bc htey grew up on him being the father figure and backbone but his house was built on lies. He's a terrible person that doesnt own his sh-t

    Sure she doesn't need it to betray, but Emma went straight to a leadership position

    Well, she's still frontburner in promotion in the new Hickman era, and she isn't a grief-stricken madwoman wrangling Sentinels (as opposed to a full on villain) or whatever it was she was doing with the Inhuman mess anymore, so I'd say she's safe. Truth be told I wasn't particularly concerned before either. As I've said before, Marvel takes characters like Emma for granted because they know they are a) morally gray and b) popular, so they feel they can push them further than some others. They made the calculation that Emma could bounce back. Does that excuse bad story, absolutely not and I'm not defending poor stories I barely bothered to glance at. But it's how that kind of editorial laziness usually works. The time to lift Emma out of the franchise and restore status quo if they wanted to was 15 years ago in Astonishing. It didn't happen. She only continued to be written for frontburner and grew in popularity. And that continued, and continued and continued. She's not going anywhere. I don't know why people worry about this stuff.

    Emma isn't that popular anymore, specially after she broke up with Scott

    In the case of Mystique that's true. They/Logan should've killed her either for Moira or for the Marauders con in adjectiveless/Carey. They should've never let her walk free. That being said, Raven remains a fascinating villain and now that we know Moira didn't die there's some leeway, so bygones.

    LOL, well, you keep waiting for them to kill her off or send her to Oz, and I'll start buying lottery tickets or something, and we'll see which of us lucks out first.

    You are luck that she has enough writers to keep her out, but I don't see how she is so especial that can't die or be on limbo

    You may as well start betting on Illyana dying of the Legacy Virus again. I feared they'd never bring the original Illyana back, but now that they have she's not going anywhere. Popularity talks.

    She is really popular, but it doesn't save anyone from dying. or you are saying that Jean died because she isn't popular?

    Jean died for a lot of reasons. And then it got baked in that she had a death/rebirth cycle, but she's always remained fundamental to the franchise. And now she's back. Again, if you want to bet on Emma or Illyana getting iced or marginalized any time soon, do you king.

    Jean dead had nothing to do with death/rebirth circle and popularity didn't protected her, why will it protect Emma?

    Gold's bad, bruh. Especially when they went cheap on the art.

    Blue > Astonishing > Red > Gold
