Somewhere in the recent Avengers/X-Men/Eternals crossover, Mr. Sinister suggests knocking out a bunch of Magnetos--and I don't think he meant like clones he would make himself, but via the Krakoan resurrection process--and Zerg rushing the bad god. Kurt finds the idea offensive, but he probably finds most of Sinister's ideas distasteful; but there doesn't seem to be anything necessarily stopping mutants from playing that card. Of course, suppose it worked? You'd then have however many Magnetos that survived left, probably not in the best of moods...

I'd like to think besides the in-story explanation of that exact problem of too many Magnetos (He's going to be brought back anyways folks) and the HUGE potential for all of them to advertently or inadvertently cause another planet-level extinction problem, it'd be an incredibly too convenient deus ex machina.
ReplyDeleteGoing back to that multi-Magneto problem, for some reasoning I'm imagine all of them simply using their powers to wipe out the Earth the same way running a magnet near & alongside your computer will wipe out it's hard drive.
Anyhoo, I imagine there's a 20/80% chance he's on the level here. Maybe 30/70% if I'm being generous. I don't trust him to NOT being trying this new approach to gain access to Krakatoa so it'll be a lot easier wipe out everyone there. We'll see.
BTW, is Darkhawk getting paid for being the bar's DJ or is his payment simply having a place to hangout & do his DJ hobby thing in between bouts of super-heroing?
Wait, can you even do that? We were talking about souls last week- isn't that what inhabits the body when you get resurrected? I'd assume it's not memories on a computer file like on The Venture Bros. since there's an actual Hell with its own supporting cast that people have returned from and remember regularly (Kurt especially). I'm admittedly not too familiar with the process but wouldn't a bunch of Magneto clones be one active one and a bunch of brain-dead shells?
ReplyDeleteThe recent Immortal X-Men #7 has some of this: the way it's explained is very much like save points. They're usually brought back from before getting killed, but because he's pressed for time, Kurt has to remember buying the farm! But, he also games that system pretty hard, and dies about nine times that issue...!
ReplyDeleteI'm positive bringing back a bunch of Magnetos--or anybody, for that matter--that way would go bad. But there's more than a few ways it could go bad...
That's gotta be weird, maybe even weirder than remembering your death. "Wow, I must have slept for days. And why am I naked and sticky (or whatever they look like when they first come back- like I said, I'm not too familiar with the process)?"
