    She was mentioned at the beginning of Hoxpox as one of the greatest enemies of the mutant race

    I don't know if anything else has come up though

    So Outlawed

    was fine. I liked the art a lot (Vision appears in one panel and looks very stylized and great), but we already knew all the story beats and the dialogue was off at times

    Runaways was pretty good, really clever resolution, but I've been waiting for this arc to end and I'm glad we can move on now

    i was gonna say i imagine she was persona non grata, but i was wondering if there was any active commentary, even just someone mentioning her name and spitting or something

    Someone posted a page of them basically telling ghost stories about her. The impression I got was that she is essentially their boogeyman/devil.

    I like Gig a lot too, feels like Prodigy without the super broken aspects of his powers. He's basically professionally competent at everything and that could make for neat applications.

    Yeah Scarlet Witch is one of The Big Evils as far as most Krakoans are concerned

    Wanda hasn't actually shown up yet but that's inevitable

    Also one of the really hilarious things about the New Warriors characters that got lost in the dunking is that Screentime gets their powers from

    Which would be great if this were going for a cheesy silver age tone but

    Doesn't seem to be

    really, though, this is perfectly in keeping with the grand tradition of comic book super-science/tech, powered by that marvel (ahem) of the age, transistors gamma radiation kirby dots nanotech blockchain!

    I think it would be pretty funny if she refused to have anything to do with them, and told Magneto to fuck off when he tried to insist, and just send them back to Krakoa.

    Wanda should be in the background of the first issue of any X-Men story just booking it with a suitcase, wearing shades, a tracksuit and hat. Potentially to a waiting taxi.

    One of them has She Hulks origin by way of Morbius. At this point Im convinced they were literally built by committee like the omega red family from X-force

    Don't worry, now that Marvel's got the X-Men movie rights back I'm sure any day now they'll reveal that that whole thing was a dream or something

    I actually like Safespace as a name for a teenage hero but the rest kind of make me cringe a bit.

    "Perfect hindsight."

    "That's not really something we need on the team."

    Wanda still being public enemy number one on Krakoa pretty much solidified for me that this isn't going to be the case anytime soon. If there was a time to do it, it was then.

    Wait, is House of M still canon? I figured all that would have been retconned within the fiscal year.

    Everything in marvel comics is canon unless the current story necessitates otherwise

    Personally I think the story is much more interesting if she is revealed to still be a mutant

    How will Krakoa reckon with their SHE IS THE BETRAYER shit with the general forgiveness and amnesty policy if she turns out to be a fellow mutant?

    That's far more interesting, and seems in line with what DoX is dealing in, than her just being An Other.

    I do think that would be an interesting story, I just don't have a lot of faith in that actually being the case.

    Eh, it seems like the exact kind of story Hickman loves and also he clearly has plans for Wanda given her spotlight so far

    We'll see, I guess!

    What was the latest retcon in regards to her and Pietro?

    Last I heard awhile ago is that they were actually Inhumans, but I can't help feeling like I heard that was changed again afterwards.

    High Evolutionary experiments is the only one I've heard. (Could have just gone with the kids of Whizzer and Miss America after all).
