That said, I don't recall if we see Doctor Strange, Baron Mordo, the Ancient One, any of those; in the Age of Apocalypse. It could be they kept to themselves, fighting threats to reality like Dormammu and such, without getting involved in the mutants' drama. They might even have relocated: I'm not sure it says anywhere the Sorcerer Supreme has to be based on earth. Or, they could have all been killed; it's entirely possible the AoA would be a world without magic.
Anyway, traditionally in these alternate-reality stories, there's the possibility that your alternate self might not be someone you would like very much, and we're just having a bit of fun with what Satana would not like to see herself become. (If regular Kurt has any problems with AoA, he's willing to give him some slack since he came from a horrible situation; and if AoA had any resentment for this Kurt, it's tough to stay mad at him!)
Kurt's also remembering the Simpsons, season 4, "Homer the Heretic." A great episode, and one that holds some special meaning for me: I personally wasn't raised religious, because my dad liked to sleep in on Sundays! If I wasn't a godless heathen, I'd thank God for that. I think it was established pretty early after Kurt came back, that he doesn't really remember clearly his time in heaven. Of course, he was also barred from heaven and possibly soulless, but both those points may have been dropped since.
I’m sure Kurt not remembering his time in Heaven is kinda like when you wake up from a vivid dream but forget about what you dreamt about not too long after waking up. I’m sure it’s also intentionally by design that you don’t remember what your time in Heaven was like because you might’ve been privy to information that you could theoretically use while alive?
ReplyDeleteI’m trying to remember, but I don’t think the original AoA had a sorcerer supreme but I could be wrong. Seems like it’d be Mordo though for some reason. Later What If? issues that addressed the AoA had Brother Voodoo as sorcerer supreme.
I figure at least half of all alternate realities in comics are like that for one reason or another, so I don’t see how it’s a big deal. Maybe Sat’s not done that much interdimensional travel. Come to think of it, has anyone ever addressed how the heaven/hell thing works in other realities?
ReplyDeleteGood question. Personally I’d figure Heaven & Hell are so big, that not only do they exist across ALL realities, but they’re also big enough to hold all souls, multiversal or not.
DeleteIf that’s true, then Sat should be the only one of her across all realities too.
