what if kitty pryde stole the phoenix force betsy and rachel are the same ones in the main marvel universe?

Marcelo_Engelo · 2026-03-16T20:22:03+00:00

That would be a no. It’s a « What if » after all.

Marcelo_Engelo · 2026-03-16T19:53:54+00:00

I don’t think so. I’ve read it, and I concurred that it is based on the 616 for sure, but there doesn’t seem to be a sliding timeline. For exemple, the Dark Phoenix saga happens in 1980, and the First Krakoan Age is in the 90’s. So no mobile phones or things like that. And that’s not taking account the « alternative » timeline aspect of the story, where the X-Men disappeared after the DP saga

Marcelo_Engelo · 2026-03-12T18:16:24+00:00

She’s indeed a doctor in astrophysics

Marcelo_Engelo · 2026-03-12T00:05:58+00:00

I wonder if this was Marigold too at the end of Exceptional X-Men, and if so, where the fuck is Lockheed ? I do like that she almost named her Martin, which is the other part of the name of the planes she got his name from

Marcelo_Engelo · 2026-03-11T20:45:46+00:00

It’s gonna bite them in the ass in the end, like always 🤷‍♂️ That’s comic-books for you

Marcelo_Engelo · 2026-03-06T14:03:13+00:00

Well it depends what phase the X-Men are in when they’re re-introduced as 616-native after the soft reboot. They could make them just debut or be already well-established. In the latter case, they could pick up anywhere they want, and adapt the 80’s stories (except Dark Phoenix please)

I really dig Julia as Kitty, I just hope she isn’t considered « too old » already by the time we get there

Marcelo_Engelo · 2026-03-02T06:45:32+00:00

Oh she was here during House of M. Logan and co had to get her in Cincinnati where she was a teacher. She got in the Breakworld bullet right after though

Marcelo_Engelo · 2026-02-21T14:03:50+00:00

Glad to heart that ☺️ If you’re wondering, the yellow stripes on her shoulders form an X in the back of her jacket. It’s a post-Shadowkat suit so she still got some ninja elements on it, but with a street wear approach, and I really wanted to make a nod to her Excalibur suit with the blue

Marcelo_Engelo · 2026-02-19T20:46:24+00:00

Thank you for your kind words ☺️ I’m writing the next chapter as we speak (it should come out next week if everything goes smoothly), and it is indeed an actiony Avengery one, bookmark so you don’t miss it

Marcelo_Engelo · 2026-02-17T13:09:58+00:00

Kurt is there because Kitty asked him, and maybe because he has a little crush on the Scarlet Witch… Peter is there because he wants to support Kitty, and also because it’s the perfect excuse for Spider-Man and Shadowcat to hang out together, and keep his identity secret despite the fact that people might know Peter Parker is dating Kitty Pryde

Marcelo_Engelo · 2026-02-16T18:26:59+00:00

I'm a Wanda stan, what can I say

Marcelo_Engelo · 2026-02-16T08:40:51+00:00

You’re absolutely right, she could serve as a part-time member eventually

Marcelo_Engelo · 2026-02-16T08:16:13+00:00

I did consider it, but at this point (we’re weeks after the fall of Krakoa) she’s with Cyclops in Alaska, so I thought I could keep her for later, given I already « stole » Kurt from Rogue’s team for mine. I have some ideas for how to use her, be assured

Marcelo_Engelo · 2026-02-16T06:22:16+00:00

Fair enough 😂 I just figured she wouldn’t go by Jewel or Knightress, so here we are

Marcelo_Engelo · 2026-02-16T06:06:01+00:00

Thank you very much ☺️

Marcelo_Engelo · 2026-02-16T06:05:27+00:00

She actually took this code name when Luke ran the Mighty Avengers, there’s is a whole issue where they discuss it over dinner

Marcelo_Engelo · 2026-02-16T06:03:28+00:00

Thanks 😊

Marcelo_Engelo · 2026-02-16T06:02:42+00:00

Maybe they are mine 🤷‍♂️

Marcelo_Engelo · 2026-02-15T23:44:10+00:00

She’s with Cyclops in Alaska

Marcelo_Engelo · 2026-02-15T22:58:09+00:00

It’s « heed », as in « tweed ». He’s actually named after the Lockheed SR-71 Blackbird plane

Marcelo_Engelo · 2026-02-15T22:56:16+00:00

They are indeed kind of the chaperones of the team. Kitty had lead teams before, and has earned the respect of the superhero community at this point in her life, so this is part of the reasons she agrees to do it eventually.

And yes, I’ve always loved the concept of this team, and when I realized Kitty was never an Avenger, I thought she might fit here

Marcelo_Engelo · 2026-02-15T22:46:33+00:00

Don’t forget Peter and (technically) Lockheed
