"Why."


Does Moon Knight have some sinister motive? No, not really. Despite presenting himself as Batman a grim avenger of the night to his foes; MK has always seemed chill as hell with other heroes! One of my favorite Moon Knight comics guest-stars the X-Men and the Fantastic Four; and one of my favorite Punisher...annuals...has their classic greeting. Unlike Batman, Moon Knight doesn't seem territorial at all, at least that I can recall. But does he have a reason for hanging out, besides severe head trauma? Next time!

Every so often, Typhoid gets an appearance that seems designed to remind you in-universe, yeah, she'd be a mutant; and not just a firestarter, twisted firestarter. She had a stint as the masked "Mutant Zero" in Avengers: the Initiative and much later in Lady Deathstrike's Sisterhood of Mutants Mary had her personalities integrated. Yeah, that'll stick. I don't think we've seen her on Krakoa yet, because the other half of the time the Daredevil writers and editors remember her and claim her back and deny having ever heard of mutants...

The topic of Typhoid Mary being a mutant as often as the Falcon...not very often if ever, and if it does, it's because a writer must be a diehard continuity nerd/aficionado or actually bothers to do his homework. Either way, it's not really treated as a big deal, which is fair if only Marvel would be REALLY consistant about the whole deal.
